- PHPrince HeywardJan 3, 20265.0I went here today because my battery wouldn't stay charged. A fine Gentleman named Junior Jackson helped me. We discovered it was my battery. I got a new battery. He then tested my alternator and started to make sure those were working well. He said they were good to go for my next morning 5, hr drive. I was so happy that he helped me. I felt he provided good service and he was honest! I feel confident about my travels tomorrow!!! Thank you so much Junior for saving me a huge headache and possibly mountain of a tow bill!!

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.
