I stopped in today after work, there was an angry gentleman yelling at the employees about a oil deal, the manager was extremely nice and handled the situation great, she explained to him that the products he grabbed was incorrect for the advertisement he was viewing, the gentleman Elijah she was working with offered to help find the correct product he needed and the man got upset and yelled false advertisement in their faces and stormed off like a man child. It sure does take a lot in there generation to remain calm, and they did a fantastic job!

False advertising with the oil and filter combo. The ad says 32.99 and the manager tried to charge me ~$45 and said the 32.99 is just what the oil starts at. Read for yourselves people what does the ad say

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.
