When starting my truck, the battery gave me a couple of notices that all was not well. Stopped in to purchase a new battery. Wesley, the service reps, checked the battery - it was bad - and replaced it quickly. He had me in and out in 14 minutes. Very nicely done.

Called about a new battery. It was available, which I needed right away, so after I received a jump, headed over and a kind young tech helped me,installed it and disposed of the old one. Great professional service.

Save yourself time and go to the Autozone a few blocks down.
There's a poorly shaved old guy who works here who has to be the worst customer service representative ever. He should probably look for another type of job.

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.
