- RBRyanne BalserOct 26, 20255.0Mike was extremely helpful & was quick to give multiple options for a solution to my problem. Give that man a raise!
- JBJason BoydSep 23, 20253.0I get the parts I'm looking for but sometimes the service is lacking or slow. Saw a guy eating a sandwich while working the register one time.
- ARA RSep 4, 20255.0I came in after work one day to buy a battery for my car and I am beyond thankful for Mike from this store. As a woman wearing heels and a blazer, Mike took the initiative to not just sell me my battery but also grab his cart full of tools and walked me outside to put my battery in for me. I work in hospitality and I just want to say how kind that gesture was and to not make me have to ask for help either. That’s anticipatory service right there. Just before this, I was at another store who did not have that level of care and initiative. They didn’t have my battery so they directed me to this store and I am so glad they did. I know it’s likely part of mikes job to install these but his calm kindness really made my day! Thanks, Mike!

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.
