I came in looking for a headlight for my Dodge Durango. TeeJay did not miss a beat! He greeted me as I walked in and asked if I needed any assistance. Was he not only knowledgeable, he was fast. He went right to the bulb I needed. We chatted for a few and guess what? We have the same truck! I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to this time, because of the level of service I received. I will be back!

They are unknowledgeable about cars. They don't know what the codes are on their engine readers so if something is wrong, and the reader shows it they can't tell you what any of the codes mean. It's pointless to even attach the meter, if they have no idea what anything means. And the employees kept yelling back and forth with each other instead of just walking two extra steps to talk at a normal level smh.

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.
