First time coming to this location. Was given the wrong lights for my truck. Store was empty. Came back to return or exchange but the GM Rob refused to do so. Gave me a rude and don't given a damn attitude. All with in a 12 hour period. Never again coming here. This place is always empty for a reason. Even the employees knew this was unfair.

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.
