- CCCrazyDogsGoneWildOct 24, 20251.0Bought a battery from there two weeks ago for 305 and found out I don’t need it just a new starter so went to take the unused battery back and was told they don’t take electronics back even they take batteries back if unused on the direct website and the I believe Mexican I believe at least he was Mexican or something similar and said his name was Tom, but I doubt that was his real name as I told him I’ll be talking to corporate about him. Which I haven’t yet done so quote unquote manager as he stated he was, was very rude and started before I even said anything to him. Was very unprofessional. I will never go back there again and would never recommend them ever again. I’ve always done my business there but after two weeks ago with the way I was treated I’ll never again! I’ll spend my money else where even if I have to order what I need online. He’s lucky I had other things to do as he was getting close to get punched. And I’m not one to get that upset. This was in Watertown on Arsenal Street.

- LHLela HoustonSep 14, 20252.0The cash attendant was inept. Couldn't find my account even when I showed him a receipt from the same company with my account clearly visible. He seemed uninterested in my business.
- PCProfit ChasersJul 30, 20255.0Gentleman named Brandan makes this location a 5 star. He’s always been extremely helpful, recently he made an honest mistake and made it right giving us excellent service while most wouldn’t. Will continue to bring all my business here as long as he’s there. Deserves a raise!
- DCDavid ChaseJul 11, 20195.0Very good knowledgeable and helpful. A lot of detailing products.

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.
