Santiago and Jose will help you out with ANY problem you have. It took them 5 minutes to find a solution to a problem I was dealing with for 4 hours with another location. Best experience and service!

Santiago assisted me with a signal/stop lamp. I really appreciated it. Im 55 years old and financially live paycheck to paycheck. Therefore I can't afford to have things done sometimes. He was very professional and knew exactly what he was doing. Great employee!!!!

Came in for a headlight bulb. The associate that helped me ,I didn't catch his name, was both determined and dedicated to getting my stuck bulb out. A huge help! It took a bit in the cold, but he didn't give up. Many thanks!!

Came in on my way from work and I was frantic and a hot mess so I already knew the workers were gonna hate me cause I needed help finding a part of my jeep since I know nothing about cars so I was already dreading this visit BUT Josh was a life saver and actually looked like he wanted to help me out! He was able to find what I needed and suggest the best brand out of the options I had. It was even cheaper than the autozone by my house too. There was another kid there who also looked happy to be apart of the search and gave me some recommendations for detailing products. I think his name was Jack or Jax.. overall I will be back here as needed because it’s rare to find younger employees like these guys happy to be at work these days. Thanks yall!

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.
