- JFJose FigueroaOct 20, 20253.0High price on almost everything here.
- JOJP OOct 12, 20252.0In order to purchase 2 items that were on clearance, and 6 of these items were in the store I had to contact corporate and then a division manager to actually purchase them. She (store manager) refused to sell them because they were for a "commercial cutomer". When asked if they were paid fir, the answer was vague. Three phone calls, a district manager and a day later I got the items because the 6 she had were never paid for. Was it worth the agrevasion? No, but a lesson needed to be learned. And not by me.

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.
