On their website they list an available part that is at this specific location. After showing and asking the store associate the item on the store website, they tell me they dont have the item in stock and after says its only for online orders even when an option for pickup exists and is in stock according to their site. What a disappointment. Fix ur inventory or the website.

Never going to this store again!! Thankfully there is an autozone opening up nearby. Only really had a problem with one employee but it was bad enough to make me refuse to go in there again. Called to tell the manager about the issue but she didn't seem to care at all.

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.
