Makayla did an excellent job installing a new battery in my old car. She assured me on the phone that she had the battery I needed. Then she worked very hard to install it and I was on my way. I'll definitely call Makayla whenever I need auto assistance.

Older male working today is terrible. Ask to check a fitting and got huge attitude. Screamed at me across the store saying I should know my thread size and shouldn't need to test it. Been working on cars for 30years I always check fitting...will not be going back to that location until he is gone

They did not have the part but I wish that I'd got the older gentleman's name because he went way up and beyond call of duty to try to find my part even looking on the
internet at other providers... too bad everybody doesn't have that work ethic would be a better country

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.
