Went in to purchase parts and saw these jack stands marked down. Carried them to the counter and they wouldn’t ring up. Clearly the sale price tag is even labeled “jack stand”. The Asst. Manager tried to call the manager & there was no answer. He said he would follow up and have the manager call me. I provided my name and number, then waited 1 1/2 weeks and went back in for more parts. Found the same jack stands placed back on the shelf with stickers removed. I asked about them and was told the manager wouldn’t sell them for that price. I didn’t mark them down the merchant did. Well maybe I don’t need to buy parts at their price either. I typically shop in this store FIRST, to help out the local guy, but there is a chain across the street.

Gilbert, the manager, is genuinely helpful and tries to make sure you’re taken care of. I came in for new wiper blades, so he gave me a great recommendation at a great price. He even helped me install the new wiper blades after I bought them.
I won’t go anywhere else for my car now and can’t recommend them more.

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.
