- CScarly selkirOct 7, 20251.0I’ve always had good experiences at this location, but during a recent visit things felt different. I called about two hours before closing with a quick product question, and the associate on the phone sounded frustrated and repeatedly said he didn’t have time to help because he had closing tasks to do. When I asked for a product or SKU number so I could look it up online, he declined to provide it. We decided to come in person, but the same associate seemed irritated and sat behind the counter without much acknowledgment. It made the interaction uncomfortable and unlike the helpful service I’ve usually received here. I understand closing time can be stressful, but I still left feeling disrespected and unwelcome.

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.
