- DODana O'Brien2 days ago1.0Twice in a row I’ve attempted to be a customer but had to walk away due to the associate being incredibly disrespectful.
- ALApril LoganDec 27, 20255.0What a great experience. From ordering online, to getting a great on sale price, to picking up my product in 30 minutes, to the fantastic clerk on duty. Would definitely recommend this store.
- JEJack EbrightOct 1, 20255.0Came, as usual, for windshield wipers. Needed 1 for the back window and the gentleman came out to take it off and ran into difficulty. He checked with other staff and they all agreed that it would be best if it was replaced at a dealership. I appreciate it when people don't try to force things and recognize unusual situations.
- JGJeff GipeSep 13, 20255.0Do all of my auto part shopping at this store. Close by and good prices. Knowledgeable people and very helpful.
- BWbrandon wehrlySep 8, 20255.0Stopped in to purchase a tool for a mechanical problem I was having on the side of the road. Instead the cashier overhead my conversation about not needing the tool forever and kindly gave me a loaner with no hesitation. I appreciate the kindness and the trust! Made me feel like I was back in the older days where people looked out for one another!

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.
