I came in this morning to have my battery tested and potentially replaced after it died. Heather was extremely friendly, transparent, and eager to educate and assist! She happily talked through the different options for replacing my battery and set up the warranty without upselling anything. It was an overall painless experience, and I’d be happy to return to and recommend this location!

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.
