Refused to take my oil and said has to stay at counter for customers and I was the only one there in the morning. Gave me the wrong oil filter which was the first time that happened.
This store is lazy and don't know what they are doing. I hope to see this store close

I had a very bad experience at this store. I ordered parts and paid with my card over the phone, when I got the call that they came in , I went to pick them up , when I got to the store I was very rudely told I never ordered them, the store employees were very nasty to each other in front of me and other customers. The only employee that was helpful and eventually found my parts was Ken. I don't know why I tried anywhere else but Napa

The gentleman that helped me it was very knowledgeable and friendly and even though it was not a typical part for the exhaust he was helpful in locating a part that would work for my need.

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.
