- LGLandon GoldsteinNov 16, 20251.0Management of this store is very selective and has refused to loan tools on multiple occasions. Disappointing as I can walk here but instead have to drive down the road to autozone or Oreilys. I would recommend other auto part businesses as this is a last resort.

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.
