This store was great. Justin had everything I needed ready for me when I got there. The other guy carried everything to the car for me and they were clearly happy to have my business.

I've always had positive experiences here—until today. I came in looking for a specific valve stem, even had it in hand, but was sold the wrong one. Unfortunately, the associate didn’t check the system for the correct item, despite my clear request. I later verified online that it was actually in stock. Now I'm unable to get a refund.
The young man who assisted me seemed unknowledgeable and appeared disinterested in helping, which made for a disappointing visit. In contrast, I've previously been helped by older staff members who were exceptional. It seems the quality of service really depends on who you get.

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.
