Went to pick up some parts for my Father with his debit card. General manager said she couldn't sell to me with out all the details such as how the order was placed and what the part was. I knew vehicle type and had his debit card. She refused to sell it with out speaking to him 1st. To say I was irate is an understatement. If the part wasn't needed immediately another auto store or an online store would have been used. In 5 years when the store/ business is failing look at your policies. This policies doesn't protect customer safety in this incident , it just causes inconveniences.

Aarron was very rude and broke my obd2 port!! Went to clear a code because I just fixed my car and he said “OH NO WE AINT DOING THAT” and ripped the reader out of my obd2 port. Would recommend not wasting your time and getting your vehicle damaged and just go to auto zone instead.

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.
