- AKAdrian KesslerOct 19, 20255.0Simple, quick and easy to get in and out of they were not busy at all so it was very helpful for them to assist me. And everybody there was very kind. I'm visually impaired and a little slow from a TBI so I was very grateful.
- DSDavid ShafferAug 12, 20253.0I have had good experiences previously with this location. This week however I went in to pick up a small online order and one of the associates was working with someone on the phone and was the only one at the counter. I stood there and waited over 5 minutes being able to see at least one more person around the stock shelves to the right and I believe they may have been talking to another person. It was pretty awkward just standing there. You might think that the associate on the phone would at some point cover the mouthpiece and call for someone to come up and help me. I was the only one in the store. Finally another associate came up from the back area to acknowledge me and give me my order. I am going to give the team the benefit of the doubt and assume they did not see me there but you would think the associate on the phone would at some point cover the mouthpiece and call for someone to come up and help me.

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.
