HELLO, I been shopping at this store location for couple years now. I never have been problem always get what I need and staff Help me out as well always. But there is one person that if he checks me out my rewards number I put it does not work and on screen shows completely different name/ email I the ask him today as well last I did past several time why my number didn’t work he just said was oh we have computer problem but why does this problem does not come when someone else at same store checks me out? what i believe is that person puts his own info in account so he can get rewards. I won’t say who the person is but the management should step up and talk to their staff. I will continue coming back to the store but this kind of situation should not happen Thanks .

there were four people on staff and I requested an engine scan and was given a scanner that did not work on my 2001 F350 and the staff reported that's all they have so I wasted an hour and the staff proceeded to look idle 🙄

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.
