I'll choose coming here 11/10 over any other store, friendly staff who are always willing to help. The stores location makes it rather busy, so if you don't like stores that have small lines in them I would stay away from here. Other than that they almost always have the parts you need for almost any car or truck you can think of

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.
