Haven’t had anything too major but I’ve had two different guys come out and check out my car and they were super kind. I didn’t feel rushed and they even tried to figure thing out with me. The first guy even helped me with the process of elimination and really knew his stuff so I actually knew exactly what to tell the mechanic

Buying a part, so kind! Don’t make a return bc you’ll be called a liar with a smile. I’m guessing it was the manager, I have no clue bc he was in plain clothes and no name tag. Just bc you’re smiling sir doesn’t mean you don’t have an attitude! And has the nerve to tell me ‘we won’t be doing this again’ no worries, I’m never shopping with the company ever again. App deleted!!

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.
