- JVJason VuoloNov 3, 20255.0Had great experience as always today but Britany was so helpful . And Mr. Cephas. Is the reason I always drive 10 extra minutes to his store?

- PBPaul BuchholzSep 29, 20255.0Great place to find auto parts
- SAStephen AlgerAug 31, 20255.0Came here with a dead battery after stopping by another national auto parts chain. The other store told me that the car battery I needed required a computer reset by a Ford Dealer and was over $270. I was helped by a young man at this store who sold me battery for $195 and installed it in about 3 minutes. The dude working here was awesome and no nonsense. Just finds a solution and makes it happen. Only shopping here from now on.
- CKCole KoenigAug 19, 20251.0I was in the store for over 15 minutes and couldn’t find a single employee. There were at least 6 other customers, and none of us could check out or get help. Ended up leaving and buying what I needed at O’Reilly’s instead. Very disappointing experience.

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.
