Don’t know why I was treated differently from just the previous day. But entered yesterday and return an item that I bought from another store because was incorrect. Came by today to do the same because the service I am using is across the street and it was a refused refund because “it messes up their inventory” then I asked about bringing in items to receive my core charge and was told they couldn’t accept either when it clearly states that I can return to any. Do not understand why I was refused service but it was unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable.

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.
