I rarely have the opportunity to write a positive review for a company or sales person but today was different. My vehicle failed the NC Inspection due to a parking light being out. I had the pleasure of having Matthew as my sales associate. Not only did he quickly locate the type of bulb I needed but he offered to put it in. How refreshing to to meet conscientious, caring knowledgeable people that go above and beyond!
He replaced my bulb and with purchase and his time spent to replace it, I was on my way within 10 minutes. Thank you Matthew for your quick, courteous, kind service!

I had a great visit yesterday. Jacob was fantastic- he helped install my car battery and checked my alternator. I can’t thank him enough. Great service!

Got there right before closing because my boyfriends car had a flat and we needed a Jack. I ended up locking my keys in the car and Olivia and Angie (god bless them) helped us find options for locksmiths and were so helpful and kind. Wish I could leave a six star review

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.
