Too busy trying to tell what they can't do instead of finding a way to do something to take care of your needs.

1 guy that works there that's been there for years is a very good employee, He's very knowledgeable , helpful and friendly, nobody else there is helpful, specially the guy that wears the Chevy hat, He doesn't even try to help You or do His job, He costs the store business, by actively doing nothing, and not even trying to do nothing, and He has no clue how to do His job

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.
