- TCTroy CrichtonAug 19, 20251.0They sold me the wrong battery for my wife’s vehicle and then refused to accept the return when I brought it back two days later. This was the same battery that they told me would fit in my wife’s vehicle. It does not. The battery was a $300 purchase and they are refusing to take it back. Not only is this terrible customer service, but the audacity of them to refuse to fix their own mistake is astounding. To make matters worse, store employee Nick was extremely rude the entire time. Gesturing to a yellow sign with tiny font by the door and telling me there is no refund policy on batteries etc. Well if there is no refund on batteries, they should verify they are selling you the correct one BEFORE giving you some crap you can’t use nor return. ABSURD. I’d go -1 stars if i could.

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.
