I got windshield wipers from this branch and they (installed) them..two days later it rained. As i turned on my wipers the driverside wiper immediately flew off as i was driving!!!! What kind of incompetence is that!!! I could've gotten into an accident. I had to immediately pull over and wait for the shower to pass..Im never going to visit this branch again!! This service is completely unacceptable!

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.
