- RVReynaldo VelasquezNov 3, 20255.0Have had bath experiences in the past I recommend keeping you’re receipts but there’s a gentleman named Josh that will get you right when it comes to parts and returns A1 customer service
- FRFaith RhodesOct 23, 20255.0I came in to get my car tested since the engine light came on, and left with everything I needed, along with an excellent recommendation for a repair shop. Thank you, Alex!! Definitely will be back.
- JWJanette WolnitzekSep 25, 20251.0Rude and super unhelpful. I left this store and drove up the road to other store where they were much more helpful and not complaining about someone coming “in late” when you have two hours left. If you don’t wanna work clock out and go home.

- DCDavid CeaSep 5, 20251.0Get away from this place, people have an attitude of extreme laziness and don't want to help you. I wanted to test my battery before buying a new one. They told me to wait outside and I waited there and they never helped me. This store is frustrating full of lazy people.

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.
