I can't say enough good things about Curtis' helping my mother with replacing and changing her battery while the store was short staffed and busy after the weekend snow storm. Working in customer service I know it's no easy feat and he was personable, helpful, and efficient getting the job done. If he isn't already a manager, I would highly suggest promoting him and could see your reviews improve over time. Good work is VERY hard to find nowadays.

The guy who answers the phone never wants to help, give information or any service whatsoever. Extremely terrible customer service. Got the help and parts I needed at a different branch 40mins out, with great customer service. This location sucks.

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.
