Chris- The Service Technician went above and beyond to find a part for my Nissan Truck, where the other auto competitors were telling me no and good luck. Chris made it happen and with his determination on finding the part will save me thousands. He is to be commended and recognized for true customer service at its best.

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.
