The female manager was rude and unknowledgable about what I had asked for. I asked about a brake controller for a trailer and she said she didn't know and was standing in front of the computer. I asked her to look on her system and she didn't even want to look it up. I will never go back to that store. Hire people who care about the customers.

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.
