I went there after my battery was having connective issues with the battery terminal. I was helped by Kevin as soon as I came in. He helped me very quick and helped explain stuff to me and I definitely will come back.

The employees are very helpful. I had my car lock get jammed next door. I went in to get a lubricant, Kevin Baker(the GM) came out and helped me get it unstuck. He helped turn a bad situation into a manageable one. Thanks again!

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.
