Rude and unprofessional. Sat there 5 to 10 minutes waiting on a battery replacement. Older plump employee trys to ring up another customer after I have been standing there for 5 to 10 minutes. If my battery didn't die across the street at the Lowe's parking lot I would of took my business somewhere else.

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.
