The person who helped me was very kind and patient and went above and beyond with their customer service. Everyone I encountered was very helpful and kind and assisted us as we were changing the battery. Thank you everyone! 😊
- CCClapmydiaJun 30, 20255.0Came in here thinking it would be a lost cause after going to other auto shops looking for a simple part. This store and the management are lifesavers who not only got me the part i needed but also helped with giving me info and advice about future projects builds i’ll be working on. Got to thank Senester and her team for being that helpful and assisting me when I needed it the most. This will be my main store to visit from now on
- GTGracyn TaylorJun 28, 20255.0Great store. I love going here due to Senester. She makes sure her customers are taken care of. Her team is amazing and are always helpful. They do thorough research on parts and issues if you ask for help.

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.
