- SSScottie SorrellAug 5, 20255.0I had 2 days left on a 3 year warranty on a battery and they gave me a brand new battery. Their customer service is always good and I appreciate that!
- CLCasey LoweryOct 9, 20232.0Asked for a cabin Air filter, but was given an air filter. I wasn't asked for my phone number at check out, so there's no record of my purchase. I lost my receipt (that part is on me). They wouldn't let me exchange and pay extra for the item I need. The incorrect item I was given isn't something they stock on the sales floor either.

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.
