Tony is an angel! I called to see if I could get a new battery and install tonight, even though it was almoat 7pm. He was worried he wouldn't be able to due to loss of daylight and we hung up. He called me back 3 minutes later and asked me how quickly could I get there, since I didn't have anyone to help me at home and might get myself stranded the next day if the car wouldn't start. I tried my luck and it started for me to get over there. He helped me install the battery just before the sun set. I really appreciate how willing he was to go out of his way to help me as best as he could.

not helpful at all , called to see if they could put a part on my vehicle because i just got a battery installed at there other location by my house and the location by me that did the install did not have the part so i called this location and asked if they could put them on for me because the lady told me if i hit a pothole my battery will come unconnected, they told me yes they could , i drove all the way up here for them to tell me they couldn’t put them on because they need to be put on when they are replacing the battery which i just got my battery put in not even 30 minutes ago from the location from my house. i would not care and just go to my mechanic monday to get them installed if i was not told they could one be put on from whoever worked at this location and the location by my house as well told me they could put them on for me at another location. This is honestly upsetting when i just paid 220$ for a battery to be basically half installed because IT CAN COME OUT AT ANY TIME ! Update: I went back to the location that installed my battery with the shims i bought from the odenton location, by my surprise they did not have to take my battery all the way out like the odenton location told me they would have to do, all they had to do was put them right on top like i thought, honestly your employees just didn’t want to do it. They genuinely have terrible customer service skills and do not want to help people at all. Maybe train them on people skills, or don’t have them work at a job where they actually have to do things.

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.
