- BJBranden JermynJan 2, 20261.0Employees couldn't even do the core charge back. Told me to come back when the manager is there. Which was 9am to 11am the next day. Didn't know manager shifts were two hours long.
- JSJohn SmithDec 11, 20251.0It’s mid-December in Rochester and the temps are in the teens. I was gobsmacked that this store is out of lock de-icer. I said “this is the time to have it” and the manager said “as soon as we get them they sell out” I said “order more!” If that excuse is true, you’re leaving money on the table. But I find it hard to believe since the AutoZone, less than a block away, was fully stocked.

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.
