Ordered online and drove nearly an hour to the store since the item was not in stock at other closer locations. Upon arrival staff alerted me that part/product was not in stock. Please update your sites so that customers aren’t wasting resources. It showed in stock online, I paid for it, then you send me a confirmation email that it’s ready to be picked up. Why waste my time?

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.
