- FGFidel GutierrezDec 1, 20255.0Great service from store manager Raphael.
- EPesther parksOct 13, 20252.0I was able to get the bulbs I needed without a problem. The cashier was on her personal phone the whole time [ on speaker phone] and was more or less distracted when interacting with customers. The phone conversation was not appropriate around customers as there was strong language being used. It made for a completely unprofessional experience.

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.
