The bald gentleman that works there was one of the rudest encounters I’ve ever had with any sort of customer service, when asking for a price match because the part they were selling was more than double the amount of other stores the bald dude was extremely rude and told me he was just gonna give me another part and it would “hopefully blow up my motor“. Advanced you need to hire guys with better customer service, you guys are a corporate chain, and you have competition, with just AutoZone down the road

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.
