Been here a few times and employees are uneducated at what they are selling and lazy. Was there today and younger fella couldn't figure out how to scan my $5 off perk and pretty much said it's not working and gave up. Been there 3 times and all 3 times where negative experiences. Worst auto parts store I have been too, and I have been to many.

Nolan was the best! Willing to help, assist and even found the exact transmission fluid I needed. Give him a gift card to Potbelly next door and get that man a “wreck” sandwich. Well done!

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.
