- GGgrippysockghostSep 21, 20255.0Great service and always friendly when I go in
- RKRyan KnickAug 14, 20254.0I've been here twice over the past 5 years to get new batteries. Both times I've had to install the battery myself because they only had 1 employee there from 7:30am to 11am. Not a big deal for me, but others might want to call ahead.
- SMShawna MarieAug 12, 20252.0Came in for a 7 way adapter and wanted to make sure it worked before I tried it. Staff told me my whole truck electric didn’t work - the truck is under a year old. He was incorrect and I went to auto value down the road and the issue was a trailer wire. My truck and adaptor were in perfect working order.

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.
