They often have parts unavailable elsewhere. Additionally, they still recycle used motor oil for free. On this visit, store personnel were polite and helpful.

This afternoon I just needed to get a second opinion about my engine light on my Nissan Rogue knowing they can't do much and the older man staff came out to run a test, it was so helpful. I'll probably get it checked out at my hometown mechanic I just appreciate his time and helping to educate me.

Our car broke down with 5 hours left of our 12 hour drive back home, we were able to pull off the interstate and make it here, everyone was so nice and helpful. Made sure my husband had what he needed to try and fix the car, and made sure my dog and I had water and let us stand inside to cool down. Everyone working both days we were stuck there really made a horrible situation a little better.

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.
