This location specifically has been amazing! I came in to purchase an item that I saw online with a discount code. It said for in-store and online, but when Lisa (employee at the store) put it into the computer it didn’t recognize it. She suggested I purchase it online for pickup with the discount code entered in. Once the order came through she immediately processed it and gave me my item. I also left my sunglasses at their location and they had them for me the next day.
Very friendly staff all around! Highly recommend!

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.
