- AFAngel FloresMar 26, 20261.0Never had issues recycling old oil until I came to this store. As soon as I walked in the staff was rolling their eyes and had a rude attitude. Be mad at your store policy, not me. Even walking out of the door they gave me a hard time for throwing the old containers into the trash. I’ll go to auto zone next time.

- BRBrittany R.Feb 6, 20221.0I didn't catch the man's name who was in charge today 2/6/22 when I stopped in today around 3pm. He was an absolute nightmare. I was dropping off my used battery to turn in the core. The person ringing me up was doing just fine. This person who I assume was a manager was rude to me and the employee while performing the transaction. He spoke down to me for not knowing specific jargon. I had my battery and my return receipt ready to go for this transaction mind you. After finishing turning in the core I go to buy windshield wipers. I overhear this rude manager say to a customer's wife after she asked him a question "to not worry about it, your husband knows what I'm talking about." I was floored by this man's incredible rudeness and blatant misogyny. I go to checkout with my wipers. I choose the register with the younger male employee who had been just fine. I declined the extended protection plan on the wipers. The rude manager immediately tells the younger employee "that he needs better coaching". He proceeds to come over and start explaining to him how to upsell me in front of me. I told the rude manager to "please stop talking to me." He replies "Well, I wasn't talking to you." Absolutely unbelievable experience. He harassed me, a customer and an employee all within a 15 minute visit to this store.

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.
