Customer service here is by far the worst that I’ve seen out of the local auto parts locations. Even in an emergency, I’d rather drive to another location.

It seems there was an issue with the store's opening on Sunday, as the employees arrived late, and the store did not open on time. Perhaps it would be beneficial to find employees who are available and committed to working on Sundays.

The white man who assisted me seemed to be irritated and not wanting to assist he asked where was another employee whom wasn't anywhere around then come to find out he gave me the wrong break pads for my vehicle how ironic, and they had to be returned by my mechanic for the correct ones 😒 😑 🙄. I informed him of the car make, model, and year he looked it up, but I still received the wrong parts smh. It was very unprofessional, and I was very disappointed 😞. That's one I will never go to again. I've never had this issue, b4.

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.
