If I could leave zero stars I would. I walked in for anti freeze and a funnel. The store associates Brandon and Ryan sat in their chairs (Ryan) leaned back like at home. I’m actually not sure if that’s his name…when I asked he said uhhhhhh……Ryan.
They do not greet customers, do not help at alllllll…are not friendly. If a job is that bad….hop on indeed and find something else.
I will never be back and will take the ride to AutoZone instead. Rude and terrible customer service.

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.
