Joseph M. Was rude and unprofessional trying to sell me a screw driver to swap my battery. They offer battery swaps according to their website but don't have the tools to perform the most basic tasks

Josh was extremely friendly and helpful when I was trying to buy replacement windshield wipers. He patiently waited while I looked through my email for the receipt from my last purchase and explained that only one of my blades was under warranty. He clearly laid out my options and made the whole process smooth and easy. I really appreciated his professionalism and patience. I’d definitely come back again.

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.
