I just wanted to say how much Mark helped me today. I came in needing a couple lights and asked if he could help me install them. He said he really couldn't because there wasn't much staff there. I told him I totally understood. When he went to look up my headlight he said that it could be one of two and he told me I'd have to pull the old bulb out to see which. I clearly looked dejected and he came right out from behind the counter and said he'd check and install it for me anyway. My mechanic dad just died and he had always made sure stuff like this was done for me because it's "man's work" lol. It meant the entire world to me that Mark helped in a really hard moment for me. He didn't need to and he didn't need to shake my hand when he was done, but he did both. Thank you for the compassion today.

I went to get a replacement knob for my air conditioning setting in my car. The staff was extremely helpful and I didn’t get the vibe that I was an inconvenience to them like I have experienced at other times with other stores. I am new to Huntsville and will definitely visit this location 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.
