- DMdaniel moralesOct 13, 20251.0Went in to get a battery recharge and the African American employee was super unhelpful and just seemed like he didn’t want to work. I needed a battery replacement and he said he couldn’t install even though the website says they do free installation. Couldn’t even test my battery correctly
- LMLawrence McCartyOct 5, 20251.0The gentleman in there was very rude and un polite wasn’t helpful at all
- OMOscar MarroquinSep 27, 20255.0Great experience, definitely recommend! I had been to 2 different auto stores looking for a starter motor. I had the core on me but no one offered to test it until this store. Yahir offered to test our starter before purchasing and turns out it works. When I asked what else it could be, along came Alan and gave me a great solution. Just saved myself $275, and I am very thankful for them doing their job.

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.
