- JHJohn HortmanDec 4, 20255.0Patrick was a great help and went above and beyond helping us install our new battery :)
- KFKirk FranklinNov 24, 20251.0Customer service sucks...not helpful ,like I was Bothering them. Spent my money elsewhere.
- STStephanie TrulyblessedOct 16, 20253.0My vehicle had broken down a couple weeks ago and thankfully Kevin the manager there was kind enough to allow me to leave my vehicle there. I just wish they would have diagnosed my vehicle properly because I was told that it was my alternator but it was my alternator it was my starter that went out. Thankfully I got a second opinion because I would have been highly upset having to spend almost $500 for part that didn't need to be replaced
- KWKaren wudtkeSep 29, 20251.0Sign said they install wipers. Neither employee could help me or show me how to do that at the Zebulon Rd location
- SDSteve DavisJul 27, 20205.0Great lady working there, but a bit slow to get item paid for with what seems like only one person working.

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.
