Why they don't hire more workers... No one was available to do battery check. I ended up went to another shop for it and bought a $200 battery. Losing business because of worker shortage is dumb

These guys at this location have 0 idea on how to test a car battery if it’s good or bad. They don’t know how to use the machine and will always tell you that your battery is trash and that you need a new one. They did it to me TWICE. I went to another advance location after in woodside and both times they tested it properly and charged it fully and 2 years with those batteries still running good 👍

After being on hold for over ten minutes, I decided to drive on over. They didn't have what I needed. (Would've of avoided the trip if the phone was answered) And if I ordered the part I needed, it would've been more expensive then purchasing it from the dealer. Which was my point for going there. Never again.

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.
