Fast service. Lacks attention to detail, manager sold me the wrong battery, after looking at a picture of my battery that needed replacing and telling me he knew that my car needed a specific configuration for the positive/negative hookups.
Had to pay $20 for an uber there and back after trying to install it myself. I knew I lacked knowledge on the subject and was hoping I could trust in theirs. Disappointed. No apology offered when I brought the battery back

Always has the parts I need for simple fixes. Staff is helpful when asking for assistance. Not the best parking lot to try and navigate, hence not 5 stars.

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.
