- AAAngelaAug 20, 20254.0Love this place but it's not the same without Danielle there 🫤
- JWJamie WellinghoffAug 5, 20252.0It was ok... I did go at the end of the day, but I brought back the WRONG brakes for thr second time with a reciept..Unopened. I got what I needed and despite the fact that it was paid for in cash- they didn't have any cash available for my refund. It was about 15 mins before close. So I had to scramble to fi d a card in my digital wallet. They refund it and I go to buy the correct items, sitting right there and it won't pay. "Oh, it is going to take 24-48 hours to post". Well dang you didn't think to ring and deduct. Then I find out I am talking to the manager. Alright, I give up tomorrow is a new day- Autozone opens at 7 I think.

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.
