They had both parts I needed, in stock, for a 21 year old, imported car. Quite remarkable!

Horrific management. Catty, gossipy employees who bully others just for their own satisfaction. No empathy from those above and those below get blamed for the state of the store. Maybe if management actually managed their employees, that store wouldn’t be absolutely horrendous. Pay your employees more, treat them better, and stop expecting out of them what you won’t even do for yourself.

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.
