- KWKathleen Weessies1 day ago5.0I have never never had anything but a totally positive experience . On the number of occasions that I have been in for one reason or another over many years, I have always found every member of the staff to be friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Today I came in to purchase a wiper blade, which they installed about 6 million times faster than I could’ve possibly ever done myself (if at all) They were also kind enough to install a second wiper blade that I had purchased elsewhere and had been tearing my hair out trying to install myself. Lee is a great guy!
- FVFastlane Motorsports club Vicksburg5 days ago5.0Very friendly and had the part I needed.
- BMBen MorrisNov 10, 20255.0Replaced my windshield wiper quick and perfectly, thank you!
- AGanthony gartheJul 2, 20255.0Cody is the best manager I've ever met from paw paw to Kalamazoo he's always done a terrific job with customers
- MZMarty ZoernerJun 7, 20251.0The manager refused to honor a return that his employee previously said they would do. Proper training isn't the customers responsibility. If the representative isn't authorized to transact on the stores behave, make that clear with a sign that says every transaction MAY be reviewed and altered by the store manager. Shifting the problem to the customer isn't right.

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.
