- DEDane EdwardsNov 3, 20251.0Dishonest Service — Avoid This Place Took my car in today to have the battery checked, and right away a guy came out with a testing machine. Within minutes, he claimed my alternator was bad — despite barely looking at anything else. Something didn’t feel right, so I went to a reputable auto shop down the street for a second opinion. They performed a full diagnostic and confirmed the real issue: a bad cell in the battery I purchased from this same location last year. The alternator, which had also been replaced last year, was in perfect condition. Instead of honoring the battery warranty, they tried to blame the alternator to avoid responsibility. Completely dishonest and disappointing. Do not buy a battery from this place — save yourself the trouble and go somewhere reputable.
- MCMichelle L CiscoOct 21, 20253.0It was fine, gentleman was professional and helpful, though it would have been nice if he'd offer to put my wiper on like they do at Autozone
- ERElla RobbinsOct 16, 20251.0Nobody lately seems to know what they are doing and no help at all! I was told "We only sell auto parts"!
- MMmelissaOct 14, 20255.0I just want to say thank you so much. I'm literally in tears I've had some issues with my car because someone else installed the incorrect battery. It was not this advanced Auto parts but the manager Scott helped fix my issue. My car has not ran right in 2 years. My stereo has not worked right in 2 years I'm a single mom who had to restart my life and I'm just so grateful for their knowledge and kindness So thank you so much!
- HPHugo PachecoSep 29, 20251.0I am very disappointed with the service I received today, today I went to the store with my father because he was looking for some parts for his vehicle (my father does not speak English very well) since we arrived a guy named "Jason H" served us with a very unpleasant attitude, which my father and I ignored, my father had problems asking for some "brake pads" the guy started treating us even worse telling us that he did not know what they were to which my father went and pointed to them but even so it seems that the guy did not understand him after that he said to us "tell me if this is all you are going to want so you do not have to go back and forth again" I understand that he did not want to go back to the counter just for a little oil but I believe it is his job to try to serve people well, after all that his partner spoke to him and said "how are you" and Jason replied "this guy who drove me from one place to another" to which I said "what you said" and he only said to me "what kind of brakes do you want" I replied "I heard what what you said and I understood it too” he didn’t make any comment about it and his attitude changed a lot when he knew that I did speak English and that I understood what he was saying, it’s not fair to treat people who don’t understand a language badly just because you know that they are not going to understand you, if you know that you don’t like a race of people, why expose yourself to having to take care of them?

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.
