- MGMark Greene1 day ago5.0Always friendly, fast and helpful.
- BCBen CevallosDec 19, 20251.0Been here twice this month. Website says something is in stock I asked where the item was and the guy refused to walk around the counter. Asked politely hey sorry I’m not seeing it and he just said well then we don’t have it obviously. I get it sometimes the website is wrong but Jesus guy was so rude so I just left. Previous time I came in also asked for help finding something honestly just wanted a general direction of where it was same thing guy huffed like this wasn’t apart of there job. Maybe I’m wrong maybe they aren’t allowed to come out and help just so off putting. Could have at least told me what store had it in stock.

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.
