- TETeka EberhardtOct 23, 20251.0If it was at all to do negative starts I would. I went in this morning said good morning this man was the dryest person I have ever encountered in this store. I said I was looking for a garage door opener battery, he nodded and said they are on the display under the other register. I then said I do not know what type of batter to get, he then said I don't know either and kept leaning against his register doing nothing. It was like I was bothering him and he was irritated that I was even in the store. I have always had the employees assist me but today not at all. Needless to say I left I will go where I can get help and be appreciated where I'm spending my money.

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.
