Increíblemente voy a dar un Reseña súper Positiva para “ Dayna” 🏅en esta locación , quien fue la única persona de esta tienda con voluntad y conocimiento para ayudarme a resolver un problema de batería con mi scooter. El resto del personal no saben : ni que les preguntas, ni tiene el tacto o la paciencia para explicarte. Miran en otra dirección cuando les habla o groseramente se quedan como tildados , repitiendote lo mismo, a diferentes preguntas que le haces ignorándote por completo. Si no les queda otra que asistir a esta tienda , busquen a Dayna si son ignorados o mal informados, es la única empleada con voluntad allí.

I am revising my review based on my visit this morning. I arrived at the store around 7:05 AM on Saturday, expecting it to be open at 7:00 AM as listed online. I later found out that the correct Saturday opening time is 7:30 AM, which was not a problem, so I waited in my car.
At 7:35 AM, I entered the store to allow the employee some time to get settled. While I was providing my vehicle information, the phone rang and the employee stopped assisting me to handle the call. This added another 5–7 minutes to my wait.
Although I was not in a rush, I felt it was unprofessional and discourteous to prioritize a phone call over a customer who was already present and being helped in person. When I raised my concern, the employee explained that the caller had a commercial account. While that may be the case, it should not take precedence over another commercial account holder or any other customer who is physically in the store. I have decided not to disclose the employee name but customer service should be a priority and professional.

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.
