- RTReggie Thompson5 days ago5.0I had an issue with my car cover and drove to the McKinney location, because the Plano location is closed. I spoke with GM Ken and told him the issues. I was frustrated because I had drove to closed location. He truly calmed me down and just went to work looking for a solution. Thanks so much for the help.
- LCLuis CJan 2, 20261.0Not reliable closed 10 mins early saw me at the door and turned around.
- LJLoumonth “Lou” Jack Jr.Dec 31, 20251.0Very poor customer service, walked in the three associates were in the store at the counter. I was looking for coolant and the only customer in the store, no greeting, nothing. After 4 mins of looking, I just left. This store is ran poorly and/or only cares about certain customers. I’m not sure, overall bad experience.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
