- LTLife at the trackOct 10, 20251.0Store manager is very rude, tried to accuse me of taking hardware out of a sealed bag all because they sell low quality stuff.
- JTJ TSep 15, 20251.0Terrible customer service. The employees act like it's a chore for them to be doing their job. No help from anyone here. I would recommend any other auto parts store over this one, even if you're u have to pay more money1
- NTNicole ThompsonSep 15, 20251.0Horrible customer service and very rude employees. Would highly recommend going to another location.
- TPTim ProsserAug 2, 20251.0This guy wouldn't give me his name. He tested my battery and it tested fine but had a lot of corrosion. He convinced me to buy a new battery but the truck still wouldn't crank. Now, he tells me that he can't return the battery because it's used. After multiple threats, he finally did the right thing.
- KKKatelynJul 28, 20251.0Went in and bought a new car battery and installed it in the parking lot but it wouldn’t work. After I had someone drive all the way to me with jumper cables we realized the brand new battery was dead. They gave me a new battery after some conversation but were no help.

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.
