- GWGary WhiteOct 22, 20251.0Told the general manager what part I needed and asked him to look it up using a vin #. He did a quick search and tried selling me the wrong part. I was asking about a coolant thermostat. He kept pushing an A/C pressure sensor. When I told him that wasn’t the correct part he then tried to over talk me, in what seemed like an attempt to belittle me. Wouldn’t listen, very poor customer service skills. Highly recommend going to one of the two other auto parts stores that are super close.

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.
