I always use this store for my auto needs. Sat in the parking lot for about 45 minutes waiting on a battery test. I needed to use the restroom and was told that I couldn't use their restroom. I had to hurry and purchase a new battery then leave to go use the restroom. Won't be back.

Terrible order pick up experience. 3 employees working and no one in the store, they acted like my arrival was an inconvenience to them. Didn’t offer to install the windshield wipers, forced the windshield wipers into my hands while I was trying to check the items they had put in a bag- just zero customer service all the way around. I’ll head to auto zone across the street in the future.

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.
