Joseph from Valvoline was so helpful. He was in the process of putting away product but stopped everything and walked us through multiple purchases. He also had suggestions and recommendations. If he ever applies for a hire position, I hope he gets it because his customer service is extraordinary!!!

5 guys standing around doing nothing. Not helpful at all, wouldn't scan codes even though it's advertised on the website. Had an attitude when I asked about the service politely.
Went across the street to O'Reilly's and was scanned in under 5 min and spent my money there.
Next time I need anything I'm going to advance past this dump and go across the street. 😂

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
