Amazing people, and amazing service! Pulled up with a shot positive connector piece (pictured). Not only did the man help me get the right piece, he got it installed, and made sure I'd have no issues on my Birmingham commute! Wish I would've got his name, but definitely would recommend this place.

Unprofessional staff. The Mexican Woman with red hair let out a big sigh and said out loud "we close in 5 minutes bruh be foreal"
Mind you I'm 20 feet away, just so you can gauge how loud this female was when she said that.
Take your business elsewhere, this staff gets angry if you need to buy something quickly before they close. That employee needs training and a better attitude.

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.
