I brought my car in to have codes ran on it. The staff greeted me immediately as I walked in the door. For the life of me, I didn't get anyone's name but I remember there being a girl in the store with 2 other guys. Nobody made me feel stupid for not knowing what was going on with my car. I will definitely keep coming back. Y'all are way better than O Reilys Auto Parts and Auto Zone.

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.
