I returned from the dealership Friday around 16:30 to get a quote from Advance AP. I needed a new battery for a stop-start technology car. Advance offered a better battery at a substantial lower price than the dealership. I think her name was Katherine (old man's bad memory). She asked if I wanted her to install it. It shouldn't take much over 15 minutes she said. I took her up on the offer. I was impressed of how she worked it. She put in a device that kept the car energized. No loss of computer memory or radio stations. 15 minutes later I drove away a very happy camper.

incompetent employees, get returned open pack of bolts marked "QTY:3" with only two bolts in packaging and put it back on the shelf for it to be someone else's problem.
that someone else, was me.
I'm under my car and getting pissed off that this bolt keeps cross threading, finally decided to try the nut on the bolt outside of the holes i need to secure together?
not even the right thread pitch.
SO
in short, they cant count to 3, didn't check the threads before placing back on the shelf, didn't mark it down since only 2 of 3 bolts were there and its some how my fault. "how am I supposed to know the pitch was wrong?" REALLY?!
the open package and missing bolt weren't a giant red flag?!?!
what auto store doesn't have a thread checker at the counter?
what auto store hires people who cant count to three?
what auto store puts open packaging back on the shelf with out checking it?
this auto store. just go to AutoZone.

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.
