- JBJonathan BennettJul 18, 20255.0Good service
- SAStephen AngelilloMar 15, 20181.0I wouldn't buy a quart of oil from this place the manager that was working there a few years back was awful very miserable did not seem to like his job very much. The lines are long understandably that's good that they're busy but five workers and no one at the registers trying to ask them a question is a waste of time none of the employees are knowledgeable or know anything about automotives . Very sad if I was the manager of the store a lot of person I would be fired. Would not recommend to my worst enemy. Hopefully they get that store in order and have some employees with Automotive experience in the near future

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.
