Great that they were open on a Sunday morning. Even better was the fact that the guy questioned my choice and then pointed out that I had picked the wrong one. Thanks for going out of the way to make sure I had the right product.

Crystal was outstanding. She managed to multitask effortlessly—training a new employee while still providing me with knowledgeable, and exceptional service. She truly went above and beyond to assist me, and I couldn’t be more happier.

Can’t begin to describe how helpful, professional and knowledgeable Crystal was today (Nov. 24). She went above and beyond helping me find the correct battery replacement for my car and even assisted in looking under my hood to make sure I purchased the right unit. She did this all with a smile while assisting other customers in an obviously understaffed store. Thank you, Crystal. Fantastic service.

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.
