- MGMatias GNov 1, 20255.0I want to give James a shoutout. I came in a few minutes before closing and not only did he have an amazing attitude and helped me find what I needed, he also offered to pay for part of it because embarrassingly enough, my card declined due to insufficient funds…. 10/10 James is the man! 😎
- THTreshaun H.Oct 25, 20255.0Went there needing parts for my Mercedes E320, I think I worked with the worker named Gage, sorry if that’s not correct. I think it was a coil pack and I was asking for “long spark plugs” and he worked with me until I got exactly what I needed.

- AXAbby XJul 1, 20225.0I went in with a check engine light and they were able to help me out by reading it and providing me a printout of the problem. It saved me from having to pay for a "diagnostic fee" elsewhere and I was able to get the parts I needed for my cylinder misfire right there!

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
