I don't know what it is with this one location, but they consistently give me a hassle by ordering online. They always tell my pickup guy that it's not ready (after an HOUR), not in their system yet. It's BS. They seem to be bothered by online orders and say they can manually match the price,but then when you tell them the discount they act like you're lying and there's no way. THAT'S WHY I ORDER ONLINE!!!! Every other location in the area that I use has no problem whatsoever and is a no hassle easy transaction. The employees and the manager need to step it up, get retrained, or get fired.

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.
