- APAndy PurvinsDec 3, 20251.0I was in the Standale store yesterday and purchased a thermostat kit for my Chevy truck. I stopped in today to have the code cleared that resulted from the faulty thermostat, and the counterperson told me it was against company policy. This was surprising, as I’ve had codes checked and cleared at this same store three different times this summer on my other vehicles without any issue. I’m not sure if the policy changed or if I was given incorrect information, but the inconsistency is frustrating. At this point, I’ll likely start using another parts store in the area. I wanted to share this feedback so you’re aware. Thank you.
- JUJim UtrupNov 8, 20254.0Friendly and knowledgeable staff; only issue was device to check batteries was not working and that was the entire point of the trip.
- MRMillicent RuggSep 19, 20255.0Needed a new battery and installation. Anthony helped me and he was awesome. My previous battery was corroded and left a mess, but he happily cleaned it up prior to installing the new one. Great customer service, fantastic attitude. Give that man a raise, he deserves one.
- LRLoka Vamshi ReddySep 11, 20251.0Good attitude
- DFDorian FlowersAug 22, 20255.0Employee or manager on duty, Anthony went well above and beyond to assist me while I was stranded in the parking lot! I needed a tow, all be it that I was 2 hours away from home!!! He referred multiple tow companies to me and came outside to see if it was something he could do to get me up and back on the road. Nice clean store and location, with very nice employees 👌🏾......

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.
