This place always has an issue whether it’s they can’t open because they don’t have enough staff or their system is down. It’s always something. Out of the five times I have stopped at the store I’ve been able to once go in and buy what I need. Absolutely ridiculous.

Quick and easy but no returns if you open the product 🤨. Amazon has 30 day returns 🤔

Bought a steering wheel cover and asked if they could help put it on they said they aren’t allowed to go outside and “work on cars”. Since when did y’all stop doing the wiper blades or changing batteries or easy headlights? It’s not like they were low on staff either I saw MULTIPLE workers there. I understand it’s not mandatory for them to help but at the same time how do you expect customers to continue to come back if that’s how you treat them.

Walked in and the clerks were having a disgusting and loud homophobic conversation full of curse words. Wouldn't come here if you're gay, someone you love is gay, or are apparently wearing a sweater because that's gay too. Or have kids that you don't want to learn the F word yet. I've never been so disgusted in my life. What on earth is wrong with you? You've lost a lifelong customer for life at this location.

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.
