Fantastic experience. Shannon tested my battery, discussed warranty options with me and helped get me back on the road. She was knowledgeable, friendly and so kind.
Shannon and her coworker also provided some recommendations for local wineries...... pleasure meeting and chatting with you.

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.
