I bought a battery last spring. The last 2 weeks I have had to jump start my car every morning. I went to the Anderson location to see about getting a replacement. First they check my alternator and starter and found no issues there. Upon checking my battery there was a small issue. I was told the the battery wasn't bad enough to be covered under the warranty but yet I continue to have to jump start my car every morning. The employee suggested that I leave my vehicle for 24 and up to 48 hours to do a slow charge. I drive 2½ hours every morning. That should be enough to recharge the battery but doesn't. I can't leave my vehicle that long and I don't want to have to buy a new battery this soon. Any suggestions?

I had a gentleman who helped my son and I out the other night. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. He mentioned that he just recently started. I’m sorry I can’t remember his name, but if the manager reads this, they’ll know who it is.
I suggest keeping him around because he’s probably the friendliest person. I’ve ran into in a long time. Seems like he really cares.

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.
