20 minutes to stand in line and buy some ratchet straps. No one at the front desk and when the guy finally did come to the counter, could not be bothered. I don’t know how this place operates…
Could hear plenty of employees joking and laughing in the back while a large group of customers built up at the front to no assistance. You should avoid and drive the 1/4 mile up the road to O’Reillys or literally anywhere else

3 people in the back yet not one of them could find the time out of their schedule to come and assist anybody with what they need help with. I heard the statement "be right with you" at least twenty times. I stayed for 20 minutes before finally leaving because I couldn't get any assistance. Completely unacceptable. I definitely will not be coming back to this location, 100% a waste of my time.

Poor customer Service, I called to see if I can get my battery tested and upon arrival he lies that the tester is broken. Somehow I thought he was lying so he reluctantly agreed to test and didn’t say a word to me. Next time just say you don’t want to do anything.Being at the front desk is customer service and sometimes its not about the sale, In this case, just because it wasn’t a sale, I didn’t feel appreciated

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.
