Yesterday my cars service light was shinning bright on my way home. Stopped in and Gene checked what code it was. He was able to get me an OEM ignition coil for my 2011 FX50. He let me use the shops socket wrench and a 10mm and I fixed the issue in less than 10 minutes. Absolutely recommend this place and Gene’s help.

Have been coming here for the last few years and will continue to do so! Elliott is always cheerful and ready to help! His knowledge of the products and willingness to assist is a pleasant change from so many stores these days! He helped with rounding up the necessary parts and even offered to put the batteries in my truck for me despite knowing it would be an extensive project! Glad to consider this place "my store"!

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.
