- CCChristineOct 31, 20255.0I needed a battery right then. I got it and it was put on quickly in this cold weather. I was very thankful and grateful I didn't have another mechanic bill.
- DDdouglas1965Sep 16, 20255.0Very helpful staff
- KBKatrina BagetSep 9, 20251.0The old manager who doesn’t speak very well is not qualified for the job at all. Sold me the wrong bulb didn’t even open the package all the way and realized it didn’t match. Won’t take the return even though the package is unopened. Turns out Calvin is the manager and doesn’t even know how to sell the correct head light. I just returned the other two bulbs just because I don’t trust they will be the right fit and another shop is willing to sell and install them. So, blue ridge can do better when it comes to these types of sells and who they hire for the job if they wish to have returning customers
- ZAzak andersonAug 9, 20251.0Horrible customer service, the older man in their is the rudest person I’ve ever encountered in public, it was awful, he didn’t want to help figure out my problem was and acted like I was dumb because I didn’t know what the part was called, went to O’Reillys right behind advanced, and they helped me figure out exactly what I needed within 2 minutes and had me out the door and very very nice about it, I definitely recommend using O’Reillys
- SGSamuel GiordanoJul 15, 20255.0Excellent customer service today. Never had an issue with this Parts House. Quick and professional service. In and out 5 min. Be back for further parts.

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.
