- LILucas IzquierdoNov 22, 20251.0Said they couldn’t take my oil because it was too late in the night… it was 6pm.
- EEE.L.Apr 16, 20221.0Terrible manager who worked on a Wednesday evening. Simply wanted to check whether I could return an item I did half a spray on. If I couldn’t, no biggie. The manager continued to barrage me with insults and accusations saying that I was trying to bribe the employee and that I was immoral. I wasn’t gonna argue for $15.

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.
