I went there to check to have my oil checked the gentleman came out and check. My oil said I needed 3 quarts. I asked him are you sure he said yes he walks back in. There’s two employees out there smoking cigarettes I put the oil in ask them if they would check the oil again. They said it’s fine This morning. I wake up cars making a funny noise. Has-white smoke come out of it And making a noise My mechanic says it’s a quarter a half over. I hope it doesn’t hurt my car So not only to lose money by buying the oil from them I had to turn around and have oil change $90 because they don’t know how to check oil very inexperienced I’ll never go there again I would like to To speak to someone in your support center if you could leave a number

Stopped in for engine air filter and cabin air filter. Total came to $34.68. I gave the guy $40.00. He gave me $4.00 back. I told him that’s not right. So he gave me another $1.00 and put the merchandise in a bag with the sales slip. He handed me the bag. I told him you’re still short 32 cents. He handed me 32 more cents and I left. Do I really have to do the math??

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.
