Robert the manager was very helpful. He tested my alternator for me when he could have just said it was new and held the alternator for me when I was waiting for money to be sent for the part. He also did a charge test for me. I appreciate the help bro. Thank you!

Great experience. My wife’s vehicle had a sudden battery failure on a Sunday, and Aaron was able to diagnose and replace in under 20 minutes when other competing retailers in the area said that the work was too complex for them to do. Great job, he deserves recognition and I will be back for additional purchases!

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.
