I went in to get headlights for my 2018 ford fusion and ask a young gentlemen at the front wearing a black beanie and an army sweater of which headlights fit my vehicle. At first I asked what are the brightest I can get which were led and of course it didn't have the right plug in for my vehicle and said it's the one that looks like an L that I know will fit my headlights. Then I proceeded to ask does the number on the top right of the box matters for an example 9005 9006 H11 and he said no it doesn't matter so I took one and went to the front and I declined the warranty thinking these were the right ones and comes to find out I get home try to switch them keep in mind I dont know anything about electronics lights or anything of the sort and doesn't work and unfortunately the policy doesn't allow me to return them but I am very upset that I was lied to and wasted money.

They had what I needed at an excellent price and I love the fact that I earn coupons every time I go there. Currently I still have $30 worth of coupons that I can use towards anything in the store

Quick checkout. The employee who helped me was helpful, answering my questions and went as far as retrieving the oil and filter while I waited at the counter. Exceptional service! This saved me from having to go to another store. Overall a pleasant visit.

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.
