- JVJavier VallesSep 2, 20255.0Whenever I swing by the store to grab a part for my car, Ashley, Jacky, and Araceli always ask if they can lend a hand. It’s so great that they’re happy to help me pick the right part for my car! I’d definitely recommend this store because of the amazing service and the friendly vibe that makes everyone feel like part of the community.

- JGJose A GomezAug 28, 20251.0First of all, I don't like writing these things or leaving businesses in a bad light, but this is the third time that this has happened to me, I arrive 15 minutes before they close and I find the door is closed, and they say that it is already closed and that they can't help you when really what I needed didn't take more than three minutes. Maybe one day the manager or the person in charge of that store can read this message and take action on the matter, because it is not fair that they close before the time they have set or have in the system.

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.
