- AGAustin GonzalezSep 3, 20255.0Really nice and helpful people. Scott helped check my car battery and answered questions about it. I would definitely go back to shop there.
- JLjuston linskiAug 24, 20255.0I went in with the expectations of having to buy a brand new battery. Instead Richard was able to repair the posts on my current battery. He said the battery was still good. Tested fine, no sense in buying a new one. Most places would rather sell you new instead he went out of his way to help out. 10/10 would recommend the service at 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.
