2022 RAM 3500 they refuse to replace batteries so I had to do it myself at parking lot 20 minutes. Their statement of we will install batteries for free is not accurate.

The staff was very rude and unprofessional. They gave me the wrong part would not exchange the park or refund any money. I would never go there again or recommend anyone go there.😢

A new young man in training tried help me with mom Honda Accord battery issue but then asked senior Associate Christina for further help which she did best of her knowledge very professional and explained me in simple terms what was going and solved. My mom lives Wilkinson Blvd area and we drove to this location store because we had good customer service experience before I hope store manager and district manager give them kudos.

The store has poor management and poor customer service! Malcom or Adam should be running the store! Not Christina! Don’t apply here… you’ll have a better experience at another store!

Service Was trash , They was supposed to order a part. Said it was going to be here by 11am. 11am comes and they said it’s not here and it will be here by 2pm. I stop by at 5:20ish and they said they don’t have it. They never even ordered the part i needed. I tried calling to have them order the part and they ignored me. They put the phone down and was doing other things. I could hear them in the background not caring. Don’t go to this location. Their customer service is 0/5. UNACCEPTABLE

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
