- JJJayMar 4, 20261.0Issac needed to be replaced. Usually I can come in,hand my ID and use the code reader, but suddenly with him that's no longer the case. Don't need a stranger in my car missing the port multiple times and then ripping it out showing a clear lack of respect for others property.
- EJErika JonesFeb 6, 20265.0HAGEN!!!! she was awesome, so knowledgeable and friendly. Me & another customer were waiting on Edgar & the diagnostics machine, a third customer came in and Edgar finally came out and asked Hagen if she would just do it because last time he "messed up and didnt know what buttons to push" so Hagen came out in 30 degree weather to help me and another customer and she remained friendly and professional. BE MORE LIKE HAGEN :)

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.
