This Is the place to go?
- JJJalenGamezOct 27, 20255.0The manager Thomas was EXTREMELY helpful! Even drove me a part and helped me fix the problem I was having because the new alternator I purchased was faulty. Definitely recommend talking to Thomas when going in. Super cool guy, extremely helpful. Will come back in the future!!
- LRLucas RozumalskiSep 15, 20251.0Very disappointed in the quality of service I received at this store. I bought a valve cover gasket and received the wrong part at no fault to that employee due to not having enough info at the time. After this realization I returned the part and had to have the correct part ordered from Indy and delivered. They shipped the wrong part, so now we're on try number 3 on trying to get the right part and still haven't received it and saying it should be here tomorrow. How do you guys send a gasket that is clearly labeled FORD 4.0 for a Chevrolet product is beyond me. Or put the right part number sticker on the wrong part, there is a severe lack of thoroughness. I've registered my email through you guys numerous times, linked to my number just to be told on several occasions my email is no longer registered and I have to keep re adding it. Am I even guaranteed warranty replacement on my parts I buy if you guys can't find my email? Even with providing a receipt? Makes you wonder. Wasting 3 trips to the auto parts store cause you guys aren't double checking your work is unacceptable. At this point I expect the cost of my gasket covered with what time, fuel and runaround I've been given.
- AWA WhitfieldSep 8, 20255.0Thomas was extremely helpful with helping me select the correct item I needed. Also offered to help install it.
- LBLen BurressJul 29, 20255.0Much more customer oriented and friendly., more knowledgeable and courteous than the other location over by walmart. Other than stephanie, all the others don't really know anything much,

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.
