Yall. Talk about real people who understand. My battery died and I called them at 8:35pm to see if they have a battery in stock for me and if they could install it for me. Keep in mind this is 25 minutes before closing and I have about a 10 minute drive to get there. Deedee was the lady on the phone who helped me and said to come on it and they would help. I was DESPERATE. I couldn’t miss work the next day to get this done. So they totally helped me right before they were closing. Angel was the service tech and was great! Take your business here! Highly recommend them.

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.
