Breckin was perfect! Efficient knowledgeable and genuinely friendly ..but the best part is He answered all my questions thoroughly !! Especially when I asked why he began with the electric wrench but finished with the manual one when installing my battery?? He said because the manual wrench allows for a tighter and more secure installation of my battery!!!! That’s why he always finishes with a manual wrench….

I had windshield wiper failure and sales associate Sheridan came to my rescue. He identified the problem, helped me pick the right replacement parts, and installed them quickly and professionally. I will always come back to this store as I always get the best service.

Got replacement wiper blades during my lunch today. The cashier recommended an alternative option for me, got them & applied them onto my car for me within minutes. Super friendly staff & great customer experience. I will definitely use them from now on!

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.
