Helpful staff. They dont have the books for looking up parts anymore, so this means you may have to wait for someone to be available to help.

I had a very bad shopping experience in this store. I came to this store to buy something this afternoon. I couldn't find the item in the shelfs before the cashiers. I thought this store was a like a supermarket and just went directly to another shelf behind the one loaded with car batteries to look for the item (I didn't see sign that customers cannot enter or I missed the sign). Suddenly I heard a loud voice "Hey Hey Hey, you shouldn't be here". I saw a tall staff in his 40s or 50s approaching me and chided that you should be patient and wait before the cashier. I felt very uncomfortable as I did nothing wrong. I asked for help from another young staff who found the item for me. I left the store immediately after I paid the item.

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.
