- JYJason YatesDec 5, 20255.0Great service
- MMMartin MitchellNov 29, 20255.0I went to get a battery replaced in my car they advertise free installation. Was told on Saturday morning this service was unavailable because the employee was there alone. Therefore would have to wait hours for this service. Totally unacceptable.
- CNCarlos Negron-SanchezNov 22, 20254.0Best place ever nice customer service 👌...
- VCVictoria C.Oct 15, 20255.0The battery for my 2022 Subaru died on 10/11/2025. R.I.P. little buddy. ⚰️ Went into this store on 11/12 at opening and was greeted by both Xavier and Scott. Xavier proceeded to work with my spouse on determining the best choice for our vehicle and without hesitation loaded the battery cart and proceeded to replace the item for us. (A heck of a lot cheaper than an auto shop or dealer) Both employees were positive, professional and answered our questions with alacrity. This is a convenient location with outstanding personnel. Bravo and thank you!
- LPLucie PerezSep 13, 20255.0Very good experience. I had to exchange only a battery but Even it was very busy Miquel was very professional. He had very good multitasking skills and kept his cool 😎 I'll worked in retail for 25 years myself and if I still would I would have hired him on the spot 😁 he is a keeper. Store was clean and well organized. 5 + stars for the whole experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ps also 5⭐ for the battery. It lasted longer than we thought ⭐

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.
