- YYYeslakerFeb 26, 20261.0They aren't polite.
- CHCarly HuebnerFeb 20, 20265.0Stopped in to get my gram and myself some new wipers. John was super helpful in getting me the right sizes, twice because I forgot my wallet the first time. And when I couldn't figure out how to take off my old ones, Damoni came out in the rain and installed all 3 wipers for me! Great guys and gals and excellent service! Update: had to go back in for some more help and dealt with different employees. Marlena, Caesar and Melissa were awesome. It's so nice to come across such excellent customer service. This is not the closest location for me, but I'll make the trip back to this one next time I need something.

Andy exceeds what customer service looks like, he was kind annd patient and ,you can tell his overall personality shows that he is a great person in general. I was very overwhelmed and frustrated. When I came in he was very calm. He explained everything to me. He helped me out greatly. I ended up with a new battery He placed in and, let me know everything I needed to know pertaining to the battery. He explained everything detailing. He was just very helpful. It might be a small thing, but Him be as patient and as kind as he was to me, change the dynamic of how frustrated I was with dealing with the replacement of my battery.

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.
