Rafael hooked me up with a battery switch for a good price. better than the dealer, and he found it super fast. All the other stores didn’t even try to help and lost the sale. Rafael the one who really knows how to take care of customers.

It is a hit and miss at this store. You can get a really committed employee then you get somebody who's just on the clock. If not for that five stars would be easy. Their biggest issue is cashiers maintaining long drawn out conversations with customers who have already accepted the store doesn't have what they need. Yet, a cashier will allow the no paying customer to hold up a line in a pointless conversation while paying customers wait. I've witnesses this first hand go as long as 5 to 10 minutes.

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.
