- GGGhost3 days ago5.0Unmatched customer service! Zachery is the most helpful and competent person I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with at ANY parts store.
- LSL.A. SelfNov 11, 20255.0This Auto Parts location has been more helpful to me than several others in the area, and I cannot say enough how thankful I am. The worker who helped me was named DJ, he had a very smooth and straightforward idea of how to go about getting my brake pads/rotors, and I'm planning on picking up the rotors tomorrow once they're back in stock. Thank you once again DJ for working with me, being a legit person behind a counter, telling me exactly what I needed to do, and even advising without pushing what else I might need to make replacing my rotors quicker! I'll absolutely come back again whenever I need a part for my pre-2000's car 🫡
- CACaitlyn AntleNov 11, 20255.0Zac N. helped me out and replaced my battery at no cost. He was super nice and made the process so smooth. Will definitely return to this store for all my car needs!
- TTTyler TribbleNov 3, 20255.0Zach The new GM really helped me out today with a testing my battery and doing a warranty swap with no hassle. I’ve been coming to this location for years now and they always have someone working the counter that is knowledgeable and in some cases even help me troubleshoot whatever issues I’m having. Would definitely recommend to everyone in the area
- LPLexie ParkerOct 26, 20255.0Big shout out to the wonderful guys at this location. Last Wednesday I was in Birmingham when my battery died. I managed to get the battery jumped and went to this location (which was recommended and had the battery I needed - it was an smaller size.) They were incredibly helpful in getting the battery installed, helping me get back on the road (to Atlanta!) and in managing the stress of car troubles. Plus they determined the battery in the car was defective (it was only one year old!) and adjusted my bill accordingly. Could not have been more helpful, kind and considerate. Ya'll have my business and my recommendation! Thank you again!

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.
