Hello, I just have one complaint about the woman working the first shift. She's rude and treats people very poorly. She should be fired because as a customer service representative, she's a terrible employee. I'm going to file a complaint with your company because this isn't the first time she's treated me like this, as if I were something strange. You shouldn't have this type of person working in customer service. I'm also complaining because every time I go, she treats me terribly. If you don't take action regarding this woman's behavior, I'll file a complaint to have her removed. I've been a customer for years, and no one has ever treated me the way this woman has, and I haven't seen it with other people either. You shouldn't have that woman in that position because, honestly, as a customer service representative, she's a terrible employee. Thank you. I hope action is taken on this matter.

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.
