I am a female and was in line to check out at this store. A man came in the store and instead of checking me out, the male employee behind the check out desk completely ignored me and helped the man that came in after I was already in the check out line and refused to acknowledge me in any way or check me out. The sexism was clear. I walked out without making a purchase of course and will never go to this store again. I recommend ladies think twice before giving this store your business.

Never helpful, never friendly, poor inventory. You can walk in and out without anyone acknowledging you or asking if you need help. Usually 2-3 20 something’s looking at their phones or talking to each other and not to the customer.

Car broke down on highway. We knew it was the battery or alternator. We asked if we could buy a battery to try it and return it if it ended up just being the alternator.
Employee said yes as long as it's not a mess. We drove the one mile back and it ended up being the alternator. Was told they wouldn't return the battery. Manager said the employee was new and it wasn't her problem "that's not on me." Apparently being a manager means nothing.
Correcting your employees mistakes is on the manager.
Employee came out later and apologized about the manager saying she’s done it for other people.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
