Got these air filters. Damaged box and filter had no plastic seal or instructions which mostly means this was a returned damaged used item. Never coming back again. The staff is not that friendly and gives you an annoyed look

I don't shop for auto parts very often but I needed a few different bulbs, fluids and a wiring harness. Joe R at the North Wales, PA store was very accommodating and helpful in finding the correct items I needed.
Thanks Joe!

Worst possible experience. I'm 100% disabled, i purchased 2 windshield wiper blades and asked the cashier if they still put them on for the customers. The cashier said yes and then an employee that i was not even speaking to said "what kind of a man can't even put a windshield wiper blade on their own vehicle by themselves." At that point myself and the person with me walked away to go get the blades off the shelf, we returned to pay for them and that is when I informed the cashier that I did not know the employee that spoke to me that way. I asked why their employee would speak to a customer that way, when any one could clearly see that I am disabled. The cashier was understanding and we went outside and waited for the person to change out our blades. Which turned out to be the employee that made the rude comment. When I explained to the employee how awful to say that to someone who is disabled, the employee doubled down and took the situation to a whole new level of awfulness. Which ended in the cashier who made the sale coming outside to my truck and informing us that she was the fill in manager of that store for that day. She quickly defused the situation by telling the employee to go in the store, and she put the blades on herself. This is not going to be the end of this experience, not even close. Absolutely appalling behavior and no one could be anymore dissatisfied with the words that came out of that person's mouth.

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.
