He took the time to check my car and gave me an excellent battery recommendation that fit exactly what I needed. It’s rare to find customer service this good.

- KRKeshayne RankineNov 12, 20255.0Needed a battery replacement. Staff was very helpful and got it done quickly. Definitely recommend this store to anyone
- JPJassenia PalmaSep 28, 20255.0The two gentleman working Sunday 9/28 @ 4pm were sooooooo helpful! I had a really stubborn battery that didn’t want to come out and I think they noticed that from the beginning and their first reaction was “don’t worry we’re going to get it out regardless”! Between the two of them and countless products and tools they were able to remove the battery and install the new one. I really appreciated their help, their customer service was on point 10/10!
- MHMadison HughesAug 19, 20255.0My mirror unexpectedly shattered and I needed a replacement so came to their Stamford location. Matt was incredibly helpful! He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and made the whole process stress-free for me, who knows nothing about cars - & Really appreciated his friendly attitude. :) Thanks Matt!!

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.
