Purchased platinum pro brake pads for mustang after being assured they will not squeak and will have minimal / no brake dust at the Howell, MI store. The pads squeak and generate way more dust that the original pad - by far. Spoke to Libby who said to come in and she'd charge me the difference for Brembo ceramic pads - around $20. Said she would call when in. No call. Drive to store and Libby changed story and said I now have to pay for the pads full price $94, which is not what I was told by her on the phone. Very poor customer experience. Asked to speak to store manager and told he was not in. Asked to speak to regional manager and told he won't be in until later in the week. Poor product and even worse customer service. Wasted trip for no reason - will not do business with them again and recommend others stick with Autozone.

I’ve had my bad experiences here. But I went the other day and had a man named Rick help me out and he gave the best assistance I have ever received at an auto parts store. I was having a hard time finding the fittings for my brake lines and he took me in the back and helped me find all the right matches for everything I needed. He had no problem with it and went out of his way to help me. Plz give this man a raise.

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.
