- MMMichaelOct 30, 20255.0I called them and went thinking I may need a new battery for my car. Cody, from the moment I called, to helping me at the store was so kind and treated me as if I were a long time customer. It turned out, I didn’t need a new battery but he offered to spray the terminals and advised how to clean it. When the time comes to get a new battery, I know where I’ll be going.

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.
