My first visit today here and I am so happy for the service I got from this store. His name is garth who helped me to fix the battery issue that I had. He was very knowledgeable and caring person. I would definitely come back in this location each time I need anything for my car! I would refer, recommend to all my friends and family to come here.

This store has gone downhill in the past year since a change in management.
The last two times I’ve been there I saw employees all taking a break at the same time sitting at a table in the back completely ignoring the customers.
Then I placed an online order for in-store pick up, and it sat for over 24 hours without anyone fulfilling it. I had to physically drive to the store to ask them what was the status was because nobody would answer the phone.
If it wasn’t for the constant online coupon codes and speed perks, I would take my business next-door to O’Reilly’s

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
