- CCCorey CallagherDec 2, 20251.0I used to come to this location all the time. However the last 6 months when I go into this store, the female manager is always in a bad mood about something. Every time I’ve gone in there lately the employees are complaining about this and that. Her and the guy that sits in the back at the desk are always complaining about how the company is doing something wrong, and how they can’t stand working there anymore. Seems to me that if you’re in such a bad mood every day you need to get a new job. I used to think that maybe they were just having a bad day, but it’s been like that constantly now for as long as I can remember. I recently stopped going to this location and I visit the one up the road in the shopping center next to the PF on Garners Ferry. The employees are WAY more friendly and it doesn’t have the crappy atmosphere in the store that this location does. It’s a little further for me but I’d rather be in a store that appreciates my business and not one where the employees act like it’s an inconvenience just to ring me up and get my parts.
- CCCorinneNov 25, 20251.0I came here to get my battery tested because my car barely works. The guy at the desk said he was the only guy on the floor so he will have to clear it and then come out to my car. I waited for 20 minutes and went back inside and he finally was getting ready to come out. I heard him ask someone else if it was okay to come out and help me and they seemed to give him a hard time but he was going to come anyways. When he saw it was drizzling he said “not in the rain” and walked back inside without a word. I gave it a couple more minutes to see if he would come out again and he didn’t so I left. I have previously had good experiences here but I’m very upset with this interaction.

- THTom HolmstromOct 18, 20253.0Unfortunately they have still not trained their clerks on automotive repairs or explained that ASE certified mechanics know what they need and its not an argument because the computer doesn't agree...I needed a hose of a specific size due to customization of my car which did not show up on the computer list.

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.
