After being told that Autozone doesn’t help replace batteries, I calls these guys to see what they could do to help. They were very knowledgeable and friendly and provided excellent service helping me get my car back on the road. Benjamin was extremely professional and thorough, and I commend him for taking the time to make sure I was all set. These guys will definitely be my first stop going forward!

grumpy young lady seemed irritated that I walked into the store. Asked her if she could plug in the error code machine so I could see what part to order.
Once I got the error code, I asked her if she could see what part I needed to order. She said it doesn't work that way and that I needed to find out myself. She told me to take a pic of the machine....
I went across the street to Auto Zone to purchase the $200 oxygen sensor.

I walked in and the girl at the counter didn't acknowledge me. No one asked if I needed help. I eventually found what i was looking for and placed the item on the counter where she was now on the phone. I waited and waited. I was there across from her looking at impulse items to kill time. At least 6 minutes had past and nothing. Not a nod or glace or a "hi." I put my item back. (I wanted to leave it there and storm out. But I took the high road.) I won't be back. So many orher places I can buy my auto related items.

Decent prices on diesel products, but always check the prices as they ring up your items. There always seems to be something rung up at a higher price than what they have advertised. Staff is friendly and willing to help you find whatever you're looking for.

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.
