Good experience. Greeted but not hassled, as it should be. Last item on the shelf was an open box, and they offered a discount and showed me the warranty still applied.

Bought a serpentine belt for my truck in the Lowell store and the guy sold me the tool to install it and he said just keep packaging together and I can return it when I was done. I was running errands in Salem and stopped there to return the tool and the guy gave me a hard time saying they don't loan tools they're not Autozone. And I can only return it if it didn't work.. Guess I have to go to the Lowell store.. Next time I'll go to Autozone..

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.
