- RZRal z4 days ago3.0Guy was nice but the didn't have any 10mm sockets. I know it's a joke but seriously that had to be the number one socket there is and to only have them in $30+ kits is ridiculous
- DSDarren SchwartzFeb 10, 20265.0Came in around lunch time and the staff were attentive and helpful. Prices seemed fair and reasonable. Store seemed well stocked. Will come back for the wiper blades they told me about when I'm not in a rush. Nice place.

- Hh -Feb 9, 20261.0Don't bother ordering online from them. They are rude and crabby when you go to pick it up and have zero interest in helping you.
- JJJeff JacobsJan 31, 20265.0I was having battery issues with my die hard battery, so Riley was there to swap it out for free and retest everything to make sure everything's good. Riley was very customer service oriented, and made life easy

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.
