Had a battery issue with my vehicle, that turned out to be more complicated than any of us expected. They had the right part, diagnosed the issue immediately, then worked hard to get it installed and address the issue, and they got me back on the road right quick. Couldn't have been happier with the experience.

Just lost a frequent customer! I got to the store at 8:55 (store closes at 9:00) and was met by an employee outside leaning on the trashcan while on his phone who told me “We’re closed”. I mentioned it was not 9:00 yet and just needed 2 qts of oil and his response was “we still have to close the registers”. I’m not impressed with the lack of customer service.

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.
