Andrew was such a huge help this morning. I called into the shop because I needed to have my battery replaced on my way to work. He was able to grab the correct battery for me over the phone and held it for me until I arrived. Once I showed up, I paid, he brought his cart out and had my battery replaced in 15 minutes or less. He was a life saver. Thanks again so much!!!!

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.
