- JSJohn SalazarSep 15, 20255.0Attentive and friendly staff, and competitive pricing.
- BMBrandon MedinaJun 24, 20255.0Always outstanding customer service at any center. But the price to pay for it is in your wallet.
- JGJose GarciaJun 3, 20251.0The manager Josh Daper made me feel like I was trying to rob the store. He basically called me a liar. I try to return a part without a receipt and he told that he couldn't verify it was me who bought it. I understand and went home and found my receipt. But it was the way he talked to me and made me feel that angered me. I do not believe that he should be in this line of work, because he immediately made me feel like a criminal.

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.
