Chapa was extremely helpful in a difficult situation for my family. Coming from out of town and the check engine light came on. Chapa assisted with knowledge and guidance with changing out the part.
He saved the day.
He is a Hero.
Maybe even a Legend of Edinburg.

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.
