Thank you to the young man Jeremy he was very nice and was able to help me find everything I needed and also carried my stuff to the car for me I have a disability so it’s getting harder for me to carry stuff because I walk with a cane and I didn’t even have to ask him as soon as he handed me my receipt he grabbed my stuff and told me he would follow me out which I thought was a very kind thing to do because you don’t see much of that these days

This is a great store some of the employees just need trained a little better I would like to say thank you to Jeremy though he always helps me with whatever I need no matter what he is great and I will only deal with him for one because he really knows how to treat customers and also he is the only one that I’ve seen with a name tag on and he seems to be very professional with customers and very well dressed some of the employees there I couldn’t even tell they worked there if I didn’t shop there almost every other day and see them behind the counter sometimes if Jeremy isn’t at the counter I’ll just turn around and leave if it’s not something I have to have right then and there but other then a few employees this is really a great store otherwise but again I just wanted to share my opinion

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.
