- BYBeran YoungMar 4, 20172.0I stopped here to buy windshield wiper fluid really quick. There was only 2 people at the counter and a line of customers. One girl came out from the back, saw the line and ignored it instead of opening a new register. Employees are nice but the service was terrible.

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.
