- CCCor CorneliusDec 27, 20255.0Right part at right price.
- CYCURTIS YOUNGSep 5, 20255.0It started raining and my wiper blade ripped. Stopped here and with the help of an attendant picked out some new wiper blades. He offered to install them. I didn't turn down his offer. We went outside in the rain, and he installed both wiper blades in seconds. That's service!
- CLCourtney LathanAug 22, 20255.0Steven is awesome!! He assisted me and my friends in such a great and caring way by helping us load up a cargo bag and straps (we have never done this before) not only did the woman inside help me fully open the utility straps and was also very kind. Steven came outside and secured our items safely!! we are now on our road trip having a blast :)

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.
