One of the staff members working was very welcoming and helpful. He had my online order ready upon pick up too which really made buying from here even better. I always have a difficult time when it comes to auto shops because I know absolutely nothing when it comes to cars, always seems overpriced or just hard to find what I’m looking for directly. so it was very reassuring to have the right guidance- from purchasing online to receiving great customer service in store. I always shop around and compare prices before buying car parts and id say the prices here are the best you can find in store and ready for really quick pick up and availability (hard to find for a good price) Professional and clean and definitely will be shopping here going forward!

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.
