- AMAshton MJun 18, 20265.0Whitney was really helpfull she made sure my car started and that my battery was working and made sure i got the 10/10 care.
- TPTucker PolstonJun 8, 20265.0I just got a battery replaced at this AAP location a few minutes ago. Whitney did the replacement and was extremely thorough. The terminal connectors were very corroded and she worked on each one diligently until she had scrubbed all the corrosion off before installing the new battery, which took some time because of how bad they were. She had a great attitude the entire time and was very pleasant to talk with, never seeming to mind taking the extra time to make sure the replacement was done right. Thank you Whitney!

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.
