I had an issue with my battery and an employee named Alex helped me install a new one and temporarily fixed my battery terminal so I could get home and take to a mechanic and replace the piece tomorrow. He did an incredible job and was amazingly helpful even as they were closing the store for the day!! 5 🌟 🤩 ⭐️

Hire people that can speak English please, couldn't get what i need cause she was rude and didn't want to speak English. EVEN WORSE, when she refused to give me any kind of service twice, I approached her coworker and he was able to help me and find what I needed in under 2 minutes. She did nothing but waste my time.
People need to be able to find the product they are looking for if half your items are behind the counter.

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.
