They ran the codes and I fixed my car!
Edit: 8/4/25 advertised price $89.99 in store pick up.
Get to store and the price is now $199.99? NOT COOL!

I called and they had the starter motor I needed in stock. Couldn't have got this done without Jem's help, five stars just for her.

Battery died and Keith hooked me up with a battery check and installed a new battery within 20 mins. Put some tire valves on for me too. Great service definitely would come back

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.
