- CMChrystal MillerJul 5, 20251.0We received poor service. My Son needed wipers for his car and there was admitted lack of knowledge of the product. After choosing a brand the clerk said she did not know how to install them. Auto stores have gone to pot. No one knows anything anymore. Just a few years ago guys would advise of best wipers and install them quickly. I would tip them and be on my marry way. Disappointed.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
