Mr Adler works over and above all reasonable expectations!
I had tried to get help from 5 other businesses last week.None of those places could help me with my 2003 Pontiac lights. He knew all about what was needed and it is perfect now. I will always ask him for the answer when I need help again!
I will also send my friends to this store because they can be trusted

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.
