- YCYuri Castillo5 days ago1.0Rude people and give you the wrong items when they ask for the vehicle and year....i trusted them when they gave me some wipers i needed for my car and i threw the receipt paid with my debit card now i cant exchange them for the right ones because they cant look up the item with my debit card 🙃 money wasted
- WBW BellNov 22, 20251.0Called to see if they had a part I needed. Said they did , found a ride up there to find out they had looked up the wrong part and didnt have it. Was told they would order it and it would be available to pick up in the morning. Found a ride up there in the afternoon to be told they cant find the part anywhere and they will call us once they located it. They never called back. Extremely unprofessional.
- NCnathan chamberlinJul 30, 20252.0Attempted to sell me a used coolant temp sensor and argued that it was not used. The store eventually agreed to swap it for a different sensor that was not used.
- JMJonathan MallanJul 22, 20201.0Poor customer service it seems like when you call on the phone they don't know what they're actually doing my brother called about a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 and told him that engine size was a 6.0 Vortec and they told him that truck does not have a 6.0 in it Andy ask for a specific part and they said we didn't have it and I went there and it was right there on the Shelf

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.
