This store is very unprofessional there’s no lines to stand in and when I was waiting I was told first come first serve as if it’s something else. Not only was I waiting but i had 2 people cut in front of me and nothing was said, but told me I was cutting while letting others cut In front. It’s confusing to know who’s waiting and who’s not when it’s just ppl standing anywhere !!!!

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.
