This is by far the worst place to purchase a car battery. The product quality is extremely poor. This is already my third battery, and despite the label clearly showing “23,” which should still be under the three-year warranty, they claimed they couldn’t locate the receipt attached to the warranty number. They also said they couldn’t verify which battery was mine because all of them supposedly have the same serial number. Absolutely unacceptable. I will never buy a car battery from this place again, and I strongly recommend others avoid it as well.

This place and some of the personnels who work there either do not know their company's policies because they are clueless. I Bought a tool that does not fit what I intended to use it for, I went back to the store with the tool to exchange it for another one . This clerk told me he cannot because I opened it , like how was I supposed to know it would certainly fit. That some BS that one cannot exchange an item for another . I Did not feel that urged from the personnel to help a customer. This store is marked for me in a bad way. So beware!

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.
