Haven't visited this store in quite a while. Workers, before we're real kind and helpful. Today's experience was a lousy one. 1 employee there were very nice. One employee was very arrogant and rude! I see why millions of people shop online 🙄 I guess it's okay to treat select people like garbage

The manager I believe his name is Wesley is always so helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. Today I only needed fuel stabilizer and a battery for my key fob. He found the correct battery by opening my key and took the time to replace the battery. This type of service is why I will always go back here. There are 2 other parts stores next to this place but you will not get this level of service there.

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.
