I had the opportunity to visit this place during a work trip. My car broke down. I searched the internet for the best options, and they sent me here. It was a wonderful experience. The employee, Rob Ramirez, was extremely professional and helped me install my car battery with excellent service. I thank this place for its employees and Rob Ramirez for his professionalism and kindness. 100% recommended.

Literally stood in line for 10 minutes with a jug of DEF while a employee played on the computer next to me and another acknowledged me but kept pulling parts and bullshitting with the guy on the computer 3 feet from me. Left the DEF on the counter after I was in the store for 20 minutes. Went to AutoZone across Scalp Ave and was in and out under 2 minutes

Seem to have a nice clean store with plenty of products to keep your car going.
Remember, a few bucks spent now will save you costly repairs in the future. Don't wait, keep your engines vitals in check. 172 thousand miles on my 2009, and still running strong. 40 mpg, I must be doing something right.

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.
