- AKAmy KoudryJan 25, 20265.0With a major snow storm coming, I wanted to make sure my vehicle was ready. I made an online purchase for new wiper blades, de-icing and regular wiper fluid, and a couple of bags of salt. The store was very busy, as well as short staffed, but everyone was so friendly and helpful. It didn't take long at all for them to get my items, loan me a cart to carry out the salt, and install my wiper blades for me. In stock selection was much better than other local auto stores, as well. Very happy with the items, prices, service, and employees.
- MCMaximo CuelloJan 23, 20261.0I purchased two salt bags online, when I got the confirmation email to pick up. I went the next day to pick it up, and they didn’t have it, and no other store near by had it. I believe they gave my product to someone else
- DWDavid WattsDec 16, 20255.0Very friendly and very helpful.
- FUFranklyn urizarOct 23, 20251.0Late open. Others stores opens at 7:30. Very disappointed was going to work need to get some tools was close, had to waste my time by waiting for them. Lots of people are waiting to open.
- KZKate ZimmermanOct 3, 20252.0Fast 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

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.
