Friendly. Honest and well educated. Professional and able to explain the dynamics of my battery and alternator when I asked. Did not try to sell me anything extra and explained what was needed very well. Tom was amazing.

I went in on 9/13 to the store in Kearney. Nebraska to get a tool to remove some grommets to change the taillights on my Ram pickup. Even though there was a line of people (the Husker game had just gotten over) the man working, Jim J., was very helpful and even after I managed to ruin the old grommets he helped me find new ones that would fit perfectly. As a district manager for a chain of convenience stores I found this to be very refreshing and wish all of my employees would handle customers as he did. He obviously cares about how he treats others, and I'll be back because of Jim. You are lucky to have him!
Thanks!

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.
