I called looking for a fuel pump in stock. I was put on hold for a good little while, but it did sound busy in there. They wound up not having it, but the person that picked up was pleasant, helpful, and gave me a price range as a reference in my search. I appreciated that.

The store doesn’t close until 8pm on Sunday. I got there at 7:30pm. My boyfriend went in and asked if we could use the plug to see why my engine light is on in my car. Lady was rude as hell per usual. Talking about ‘it’s too late, NOPE”. Like huh? Just say you lazy as hell and don’t want to do your job. The customer service is lacking heavy. Why even apply for a job to not help the customers? Didn’t know yall were paying them to be rude as hell to people and not help them when clearly the store is open for another 30 minutes.

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.
