Had a bad experience that left a bad taste in my mouth. Needed new windshield wipers and they do offer free installations. Only do free installations for the front view mirrors. No problem, although weird. Asked where I could get the rear view ones installed and was brushed off.
Told the older man helping me I needed all my windshield wipers replaced (all the rubbers have fallen off) and need help finding which ones fit my car. Only gave me the driver side and rear view. He fiddles with the installation then couldn’t do it and needed someone else to help him who immediately asked if I had the passenger side replaced. I say no and needs that also but am brushed off again. Then I say I need to buy a passenger windshield since I didn’t know I didn’t get that and am told “cmon man” and brushed off and told to come back later.
Horrendous attitudes and service, would not be coming back since I have to fight to get assistance, heard, and respectfulness.

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.
