Huge shoutout to Athena and Tahj — absolutely amazing people! They went above and beyond by replacing my car battery for me in the rain right in front of the store. You don’t see that kind of dedication and kindness every day. Exceptional customer service and genuine care. I’ll definitely be coming back here again!

Went there today to do a battery test. A young man helped me run a battery test on my Subaru. He diagnosed the problem with my starter and made it clear what I needed to get it fixed. Even recommended a local auto shop to me to do the work to install the part. Great experience and service!

⚠️ ADVERTENCIA ⚠️
Quiero contar mi experiencia para que nadie más pase por lo que yo pasé con este supuesto “mecánico”. Llevé mi carro para que le hiciera cambio de aceite ,cambio de piezas, reparación etc y no solo me cobró una cantidad absurda, sino que el trabajo quedó mal hecho desde el primer día.
Cuando intenté reclamarle, se inventó excusas, me evitó y hasta dejó de responderme. Básicamente me robó mi dinero y mi confianza. No le importó que mi carro quedara peor de lo que estaba.
Este hombre es un estafador y juega con la necesidad de las personas. Si estás pensando en llevarle tu carro, ¡NI LO PIENSES! No permitas que te haga lo mismo se llama Rene lo peor de lo peor

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.
