It was a great experience as usual. The tickets on the shelf match what they should at the register and i appreciate that. The guy that waited on me today was super awesome especially considering my rude self had a phone call i had to answer come at the same time he started ringing me up. Thank you so much whoever you were! You made my experience better than it could have been or should have been. I'm sorry i was on the phone, but you're awesome for being so cool with it! Thank you!

Waiting in line over 20 mins while 3/4 employees are doing the truck in the back. Better management is needed regardless. I’m still standing here as I write this. I can see 3 employees just avoiding eye contact. Absolutely poor customer service. If I didn’t absolutely need the part before I could leave the lot I would’ve walked out.

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.
