I want to say big thanks to a salesman Corry, he is the best that store has, took his time to explain to me what needs to be bought, helped to find the best price, mechanic and even the excavator. Please promote Cory to be a manager, we need more managers like him who are inclined to help people and do everything for the customers, not big corporations.

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.
