The lady that works there is rude, argumentative. Went to buy wiper blades, the same as what I purchased before. I asked her to look on my account for what I purchased and she stated “do you have a receipt) I said no. Can you look on my account with my phone number, with attached and resistance she ask for my #. So then she told me what wiper blades that I had purchased prior and I went to go get them because she had no interest in going and getting them for me or showing me which ones that they were. After looking, I went up to a different cashier guy that helped me, however I asked him to look up what wipers that I had previously purchased and he did and I told him the type of vehicle and he got the wipers for me ,he did not look up the vehicle after he found out the name of the type of wipers that I wanted To verify size, installed them And them being the wrong size I had to go back in and re-buy the proper size. So not a very good experience

The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
