Hi. We had an issue with their lifetime warranty and them only honoring it as limited and one replacement. After going back in to speak with Joryan he didn't even need headquarters permission. He went ahead and valued the warranty and gave us a new one. That's amazing service to people on a limited income. I am really happy that they do care about their customers even though not every cashier will do the right things, Joryan definitely did.

Incredibly poor customer service by the employees working today.. completely unhelpful and disinterested in working. Highly recommend another chain, but if you prefer advanced, at least a different store.

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.
