Mike helped me with my battery and wipers and was so kind and professional! He made me feel comfortable and never like a burden, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much. I’ll definitely be back! Great customer service.

Came in with battery problems, jordan happily diagnosed the problem got me set up with a new one and installed it with no problems even in 100 degree weather.
This all came after going to another local auto parts store where they refused to install because of the heat and effort.

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.
