The guy that helped me today was Great!! I was having battery issues and he took the time to test it for me so we could figure out what is going on. He was honest and helpful and saved me from a battery that I didnt need. Will definitely go back next time I need something.

Poorly managed, lacking in customer service. Purchased two of their nicer deep cycle batteries for my RV. In 90 days both were totally flat, 2.7 volts. Took them in, they charged them for 3 days and only got them back to 727CCA out of 800CCA. Refused to warranty because their machine says “good”. What battery loses 10% of its CCA capacity after only 90 days and is still “good”? Guy tried to tell me it would only be an issue if it was 40 or below. The daytime highs today was 48…so I guess I’ll have bad batteries again soon. Disappointing. Will take my business elsewhere from now on.

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.
