I was originally going to rate 3 stars as I felt as though I could not ask for help with the employees talking amongst themselves, however there was a staff member who did not get distracted and answered all my question. Will be going there a second, third time and recommend. Look for the guy named Fodey or Fo!

If they change your battery for you, CHECK THEIR WORK.
They didnt strap mine down and it eventually came out of its holder under the hood. Also they didn’t tighten the clamps on my terminals and one of those worked loose too!

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.
