- ABAmy BrownOct 29, 20251.0Entered the store in Pontotoc MS last night 10/28/25 and the male store clerk was asked about a battery. I gave him my VIN he looked up the price, read off what was on the screen. I asked his recommendation and it was my opinion just the same. When he walked out and stood in front of my SUV opened the hood and wanted me to hold it when there was a hood stand to use. He looked at me the battery like he had never seen one before. It had an extra bracket so he said he couldn’t do it. He said come back next morning and see his manager or go to Auto Zone. He is a sales clerk and he’s referring me to his competitor because hes lazy and it was misting rain. I looked up a video of how to do it myself. Wont be back in there!!

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.
