Majority of the workers at this location are not helpful, and do the bare minimum in helping their customers. I asked one of the gentlemen working tonight about a certain spray paint that they carry, but it was out of stock.I've bought and ordered several cans of this paint at this location. Unfortunately I need a few more cans to finish a project. He REFUSED to assist me in finding a location that had some in stock, and wouldn't help me order anymore to be shipped to the store. I'll be taking my business elsewhere

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.
