- BMBaxter MartinAug 10, 20252.0I ordered online and they gave me the wrong spark plugs for my car. Not the ones I ordered.
- MMMargaretMar 16, 20255.0Eric was a great help when my car’s low oil light came on. Helped me pick out the correct oil I needed to buy and how to check the level. We got back on the road quickly and was able to make it to a baby shower that afternoon
- MMMichaelFeb 10, 20174.0Speed of service was ok. Selection for oils and other liquids is great. Same story with batteries. For those looking for anything more than brakes, fluids or batteries.... you may want to look elsewhere.

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.
