- PTPhillip TurnerDec 31, 20253.0Overpriced items that you can get at Walmart for almost half the price. I have found no difference in the quality of what’s offered here and other places, like Walmart.

- KHKasandra HerffAug 19, 20251.0Update: Marcus, the manager, was kind apologetic after I called to tell him what happened. Don’t go here. I had to make an emergency stop for new wipers while on a road trip. The employee there charged me for the more expensive wipers and installed the cheap ones. Not only were they the wrong wipers but he didn’t install them correctly and they flew off!!!!

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.
