- JWJoshua WilliamsJun 13, 20251.0Not so great employees, my experience as of Friday June 13, 2025 at 11am. After checking out four jugs of 15w-40 motor oil, I loaded them up into my truck, a female employee in her thirties walks out and yells to me that I stole a tire patch kit, which I did not. I emptied my pockets to prove this to her, and offered her to look inside my truck to prove i didnt take anything. She declined. Her so called proof "because I was smiling at her through the stores window" while loading up motor oil into the cab of my truck. My response to her was "Before you baselessly accuse me of theft, go look at your cameras, go check your inventory stock and you will see I did not indeed take anything." After hearing this, she then rudely proceeds to stomp away. I talked to her manager after this too. I will not be coming back to this specific auto parts store after this incident. This is ridiculous...

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.
