Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I placed an order for pickup, it was supposed to be ready in 30 min. Two hours later, I had to go in person. The two young employees were very rude, yawning, and started arguing with each other about who was going to help me. One of them then looked for my order very lazily. Although the place was empty, he only started looking for my order once I arrived.

A big shout out to Pedro and the staff.Thank you for helping a damsel in distress. My button to open my gas tank was frozen on the driver's side of the door
They came out and with a little work it was accomplished. I highly recommend them from my first call to going above and beyond..
Amazing

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.
