If I could give it a 0 I would. Went to return an item, went though the whole return process swiped my card and they said 3-5 business days my money will be back.....its been 2 weeks of fighting because they claim they never got my return but can send me a gift card. Utterly ridiculous. I have all the proof.

Very positive experience at this location recently. The two gentlemen working 10/28/25 were able to get my 2016 jeep grand cherokee batteries replaced quickly and were very professional throughout the entire process. I was able to get to work and didn't lose my entire day with their quick service.

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.
