Do not go to the store!!!!
Very rude and prejudiced staff.
I purchased wiper blades in April and the staff there refused to return or exchange them for me, even though they are still under a 90 day warranty.
I was forced to buy new ones.
They started yelling and disrespecting me. The lady wearing glasses was very rude and disrespectful and was smirking and being cynical to me.
The staff of the store needs to be reprimanded and trained in basic customer service skills.

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.
