I had an amazing experience with Jeremiah at AutoZone! He was very informative and took the time to explain everything I needed to know about my car. He even helped me change my battery terminal and made sure I understood the process. Jeremiah went above and beyond with his customer service, and I honestly believe he deserves a store manager position. Because of his help, I’ll definitely be coming back here all the time.

Language barrier why have women work there that can't really assist with customers needs! Store associate wasn't knowledgeable about store products for vehicle. The Spanish lady with the glasses told me nobody here to help take your car to the mechanic! Store associates were also not very welcoming and unprofessional! Did not acknowledge the customer and they actually looked at me as if I had disturbed them from what looked like they were doing nothing!

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.
