- MCMatthew CaseyJan 23, 20261.0I called the store to make sure they had the product I wanted in stock, was told they do have them so I immediately purchased online for pick up. When I arrived I was told my order was never pulled from the shelf and they sold out. Horrible will not be returning to this location ever again.
- EMErin MJan 14, 20265.0Getting my car battery replaced here was a breeze! The cashier who checked me out, Justin, was very personable and helped me figure out which battery I needed really quickly. They even made sure to test my battery for free just to make sure that was the problem, and it was technically still good so they offered to drip charge it over a few hours free of charge. I opted to buy a new battery just in case, and they installed it for no extra charge in a very timely manner. I didn't catch the names of the other employees that also helped me, but everyone on shift was very nice and quick to help.
- DMDelaware McDonnellJan 8, 20261.0Stopped by to pickup tuneup items needed before work so I can install tomorrow. A couple vehicles parked sideways getting detailed was first red flag. Went inside, stood at register for a bit then left. Disappointed is an understatement. Certainly hope employees vehicles are in pristine condition since it's a priority.
- BGBrett GDec 16, 20251.0Pretty sure battery is bad. Have battery tested, told it's good, just needs charge. A week later I drive for 8 hours because it "just needs a charge." End up stranded and buying a battery near where I'm stranded. Next time I'll test the battery for crank amps myself. Can't afford to trust anyone knows what they're doing these days.
- VFVanesh FarmahNov 1, 20255.0Went there today and got excellent advice from the taller employee with glasses. Forgot your name but thank you so much for being helpful! My battery was still under warranty from another store and he saved me $250!

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.
