Waited for 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged me and even then the associate was rude. I understand when you're busy, it is sometimes hard to be on task but no matter how busy, you should always take time to greet you customers and make them feel welcome. I walked out without making my purchase.

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.
