Called to see if they had a part I needed. Said they did , found a ride up there to find out they had looked up the wrong part and didnt have it. Was told they would order it and it would be available to pick up in the morning. Found a ride up there in the afternoon to be told they cant find the part anywhere and they will call us once they located it. They never called back. Extremely unprofessional.

Attempted to sell me a used coolant temp sensor and argued that it was not used. The store eventually agreed to swap it for a different sensor that was not used.

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.
