- DADiana AlisteMay 3, 20265.0Came in cause I had a feeling my battery was about to go out. Quay helped by testing the battery for free, and gave me the best recommendations for my car. He was extremely helpful, made sure all the nuts and bolts for the battery were good. He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable about the replacements made. Thanks so much Quay!
- RKRobin KellerApr 22, 20265.0McQuay was AMAZING. He was very friendly and professional from diagnostics to installation! He was upfront and honest about what I needed, and what services were available. Then he went the extra mile to make sure my car was running smoothly. I sincerely appreciate how much he did.

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.
