Had to grab some zip ties to secure my flag down on my trailer. Being that the 4th of July is here, didn’t want to lose it on the road trip. I met two ladies that were working here & regardless of it being a holiday & they could have been home with family, they both were super helpful. Leigh M. Was very nice & I can’t recall they other lady but they make a super powerful customer service friendly team!!! Wish I could converse more but I have a road trip to make up north.
I wish Grandma would have made the trip, but she is attending the 87th annual noodling ceremony in TN. She is looking to defend her 4 time back to back championship… so she couldn’t make it.
Stop by & say hi 👋🏾 to these two ladies.

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.
