Tonight I went to buy a gallon of oil, I asked one of the two guys if he could put the oil in my car since I couldn't do it myself, and they didn't have any other customers.
The older one told the other that it couldn't be done, that they could show me how to do it but the policies had changed and they couldn't help me. I told them it was a long time since they had helped me before. Very bad service, it's very disappointing.

Had a great experience getting my car quickly diagnosed that I needed a new car battery (as opposed to alternator or spark plugs); then had a new car battery installed in 15 mins by Eric. Eric was very experienced in removing the old car battery and installing a new one in quickly and with care.

My motercycle stopped running near this place and the staff went up and above to help me. They allowed me to borrow tools, took their time helping me find parts, and genuinely cared to see my bike get started. 10/10 service!

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.
