The girl on store cost me over $100 to undo the damage she had done to my car, she should be paying me back that money, if she didn’t know how to put my wiper blades on she should have just said so instead she completely screwed programming in my car and on top of that she was so condescending and rude, my first time and last time to ever come to this store or any of their locations again, I am livid at the frustration and money that this girl cost me yesterday, she made sure that I couldn’t buy food to eat or pay my bulls, NEXT TIME IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING DON’T MESS WITH PEOPLE’S CARS!

The people in the store actually were pretty helpful even when they didn't know they just said they didn't know. Instead of telling me some thing that was not true. They did a good job. I got what I needed and didn't have to go back.

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.
