came for a battery replacement with Keyan, my car died in the area, so I had it jumped to make it out to this location but did not get the service I needed because I was told the terminals were too corroded.
I had corrision protector and had it cleaned 3 years back so I was surprised to hear this. He did help jump my car so I took it down the street to the Jiffy Lube. they did it in 15 minutes and told me they've seen much much worst corrision and mine was not even a big deal.
to my point, I think he could have made an effort but didn't. Hence the 3 stars.

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.
