Good selection of wiper blades. Settled on Bosch Beam premium. Easy install, fit perfectly.
The only negative is the parking. Upon entry to the lot from CC Parkway...there is a large concrete peninsula extending from east to west into the actual parking area. It is not marked with high visibility cross hatch paint (black and yellow). And is a hazard to automobile tires, wheels, axles, and suspension. I know this from personal experience.
One is able to see this hazard clearly on google maps. It should not be there.

David was very helpful in helping me find wiper blades to fit my car. He came outside and also put them on for me. He was great and very helpful.

Absolutely the best!
This store is well managed with employees who treated me with respect every time I visited the establishment. They are knowledgable and helpful. They don’t attempt to scare you into buying something using false information.
Two other similar local auto stores had employees that gave me false information for the purpose of trying to scare me into purchasing a battery! Keith at this store was honest and said my battery was in great condition. And my battery was!
Robert assisted me with another issue yesterday. He was patient and kind. Everyone in this store is outstanding!
As a lady, I truly appreciate knowing I can go to this store and feel totally confident in what I’m told.

Didn't catch his name, I should've. The bodybuilder mature guy helped me out a ton, yesterday. My 2nd hand car, bought from Hertz car sales, was having trouble with transmission fluid. He explained things to me like I was 3, which is about right with my knowledge of cars. I def appreciated that! Happy Holidays!

Typically ok for customer service, never too excited to see us. Today I bought a battery that I was quoted approximately $74 on the phone. I went down and bought it and upon reading the receipt when I got home I realized that it was $174 and that i had probably misunderstood him. When I called to see if I could verify that I bought the cheapest battery, the counter person said hold on, put the phone down and then mocked me to what was likely a coworker. Review for shoppers, low end parts gets low end service. Advice to Keith, use the mute button.

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.
