He will stop what he’s doing to assist the customer, I’ve been up there several times and also have called and he have always helped me resolve my issue with no problems. He provides customer service out of all the stores I go to. Zack you are doing a wonderful job.
- TCTony CarterMar 26, 20235.0I believe his name was Ryan super duper helpful. There's a part I desperately needed no one had it he pointed me in the direction. Which allowed me to get the part that day. The organizations that I went to first that were actually giving me the wrong part and weren't even being helpful at that.

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.
