- JWJamie WrightDec 3, 20255.0I really hope this is the right one! I’ve been having a lot of issues with my car not starting and it finally came to not starting at all so I went here and Rick and Kendra helped me out so very much. Since I didn’t have my car with me (it was dead) they told me if I bring my old battery back they would give me $22 back. Anyway, these two people are worth going into this store. Thank you for your help!

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.
