I placed my order for windshield wipers on Sunday, 11/2 and picked them up around 5:20pm 11/3. The team member who got my order was SO KIND!!! He offered to install them for me and I asked if he could show me how to do them and he happily did! He was nice & patient and showed me how to install them properly. I am so thankful!!!

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.
