I came in the store because I have purchased some wiper blades the previous day and I couldn’t get them to fit. I brought them back the next day and Luna a sellers associate helped me with the wiper blaze. They wouldn’t fit, even though the system said they would fit we tried a different pair and Luna with her patience and kindness went out and tried to put the blaze on, and those wouldn’t fit either so we went back in and found a third set of wiper blaze and this time it was a success, and Luna did it without complaints without hesitation. She was the best salute.

Update: deleted my last response about this store. Management was extremely professional and they truly care about your experience. If you have an issue, I highly recommend just talking to the manager. She was extremely understanding and sincere.

I just left and I’m so incredibly grateful to Randy and Xavier for their exceptional customer service. I was the third customer in line and got to witness them help those before me. & they did a great job! Kind, prompt, and educational. They replaced the battery for my key fob and my windshield wipers on my vehicle. A man came in after me stating he had just left AutoZone and the part he needed would take two weeks. This location has it stocked on the shelves! Stop in and let them help you today!

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.
