- SBSamuel Bustamante1 day ago5.0The guy Liam was very nice he helped me to find my tools
- SSSelfEsteemArchitect2 days ago1.0Went on their website and they said it said it had a discontinued product at a great price. Even though the website said it had it in the stock I made the trip and they said they did not have it. They had the same product in a different bottle however they would not honor discount...It was $11 more. I won't be back for anything.
- HSherbert sneed5 days ago5.0The guys were awesome , super helpful
- WGWesley GilpinFeb 15, 20261.0Horrible experience. Went in twice to return a part ordered online and they told me they do not accept returns for online orders. It is in their return policy that you can return online orders at any store. They did not give me any real explanation and simply refused to process the return. There is only one guy working there and the service is slow. I would not return there again for any reason whatsoever!
- TOTJ OlivaNov 30, 20255.0The attendant, Rashid, was incredibly helpful, friendly, and patient from start to finish. Truly great customer service. What really impressed me happened after I left. Rashid contacted me to let me know that an important piece was still attached to the old battery I turned in for the core charge refund. He wanted to be sure I had it, since it’s something I might need. He even offered to hold it for me or leave it somewhere secure if I couldn’t get back before they closed. That kind of service, attention, and care is always appreciated.

How much does a car battery cost?
A traditional lead/acid car battery can range between $60-$120. The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
