Blanca made my experience memorable today.
She went the extra mile in helping me to find the exact 2 different windshield wipers I needed & then volunteered to install them.
She also gave another customer a valuable suggestion!
Superior customer service.
GOD bless you all!
GOD LOVES YOU THE MOST!

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.
