- IRIvan RamirezDec 13, 20251.0Poor customer service
- PPPesoMan! PesoMan!Sep 12, 20251.0I recently visited this location and was not very happy with the behavior of an Employee whom is a heavier set Hispanic Woman. I walked in and greeted her and she acted like I was an ex boyfriend instead of a customer. She started asking me idiotic questions about myself instead of being courteous and completing my transaction. I’m a friendly person that doesn’t ask for much other than basic professionalism.

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.
