- CHCarson HouseholderJul 9, 20211.0Worst auto part store I’ve been to by far. I bought a bulb for a faulty headlight and plugged it in 5 mins after buying. It didn’t work with the vehicle so I went inside to ask for a return. The person I talked to was very rude and and argued with me that the bulb was “used” and can’t be resold even thought the packaging was still in tact and easily resealable. The whole experience with the store was horrible and the staff were very unprofessional. Will never be returning.

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.
