- AWAndrew WilsonNov 8, 20255.0Great customer service
- JSjosh secrestOct 6, 20255.0Quick and convenient to get what I needed
- PVPob Tsuas VajSep 22, 20251.0Went there for an alternator check because car stalled on me a few days prior. Replaced the battery and now I hear a whirring sound. Guy comes out, does his thing. Says everything seems great. Doesn't know what the sound is. I wasn't convinced. Went to O'Reilly's across the street. Young man comes and checks, says alternator is definitely bad. Day and night difference. Trash.
- SBSid BlevinsJul 21, 20253.0There were 2 of us there, and we were both waiting for an employee to help.
- BBBkxyJun 28, 20254.0Staff are usually very helpful. Most of the time, when I'm looking for something specific, I'll go in and ask. An employee will usually help me right away in finding what model I need, and if it's in stock, they take care of me. Large inventory. Most of the time, the parts I need are in stock. Good location.

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.
