- CCCarolynJan 4, 20261.0I called and spoke to Brian and asked him if he could check something in my car he said, of course I went there. The manager that was so obnoxious only nice to the men who were there but nasty to the women who walked in told me it would be a long wait I waited 30 minutes and then he said something to Brian and my car could not be checked out. Yes, I'm bringing it to the mechanic, but I needed some help And he didn't want to be bothered. I had a problem with them when they first opened and went across the street to Colvin Who were more than accommodating at that time but they will close today on Sunday, but wow, what attitudes in that place never again while I go there I'll go to the place across the street if I have to, but at this point, I'm just going to call my own mechanic and have him check it, but the manager there is something to be desired. I didn't get his name. I think it was Ron or Roger or something like that but Brian made me drive from three towns over to him to check it just wow somebody should do a secret shopping in that place I hope corporate sees this.

- VGVictor GuerraDec 30, 20251.0Siempre q voy a comprar allí hay alguien en el canter q es muy rudo no te trata de ayudar sino de q te bayas del establecimiento es algo mayor talvez no le caigo bien ojala lo pongan en su lugar.
- LNLinda NicosiaDec 16, 20255.0Friendly and helpful. Will come again when needed
- SSSupportDec 2, 20251.0Came to pick up an online order. Instructions clearly stated that I can either provide an ID, order confirmation number, or my e-mail. Unfortunately, the old guy in there already had an attitude and even though I was nice and asked how his day was, he refused to answer me and gave me the cold shoulder. I did not get to pick up my order after driving 20 minutes so I ended up cancelling my order. Never coming back here again. I'd be miserable too if I was working at a place like this at the age of 55.

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.
