WOW! Sorry I’m a woman… I walked in the door and though I was greeted by the gentleman behind the counter, when I told him I was there for a warranty replacement of my car battery, he had no use for me! I showed him the paperwork I had, he looked beyond me to the gentleman who was next in line, ignored me to check him out, and then asked his coworker for help. Meanwhile the other customer is giving me sideways looks, aware of the way I’m being treated. Long story shortened… after another bout of aloof behavior from the second employee, I think he had a change of consciousness, and treated me well. Thank you Patrick, you changed my rating from one star to two.

Great place. Wade was extremely helpful and very informative in helping me with a battery problem. He really took the time to explain everything and made repairs above and beyond of what any other auto parts store would have done or taken the extra time to help. Thanks Wade!

Wade provided me with phenomenal service! He scanned my check engine codes, helped me come up with a solution and assisted me with pouring fuel treatment into my tank after purchasing. He treated me with kindness and respect throughout the entire service. My check engine light is now gone and my car drives smoothly again!!
Thank you so much!!

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.
