- LPLuke PerryDec 19, 20251.0Typical low brow Mt Vernon establishment. Waited 15 minutes in a empty store. No one at register. When she finally sees me I ask for a wheel nut and she tells me there's 6 in stock. She dissapeared another 12 minutes. Comes back and tells me there's none. Avoid this place like the plague .
- JBJoshua BanksDec 5, 20255.0my car wouldn’t start and I was panicking because the dealership was charging me 900$ for a new starter and battery to install saying it was the culprit so i called this store. A kid by the name of dj answered(that’s the name he gave me) he insured that he would be able to test and figure out if it was the battery starter or alternator that was the problem and told me to come over he’ll take care of me. When I got there he tested my car and found out that it was the battery and he gave me a brand new battery for a good deal with three years warranty and installed it and my headlight. This store never fails to impress with its kind helpful employees, the employees at autozone are always miserable and never want to help, I will always support this store because they support me thank you advance.
- HSHelimah SaidNov 23, 20251.0I call this store regularly for parts and it never fails that we have to wait on hold for over a half hour then to be rushed when we finally get through . Sometimes I have to call back a few times because the employees hang up the phone when they decide they are too busy in the store . I spend too much money at this location to be treated like that. This location either needs more employees or new employees

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.
