- MCManuel CastroFeb 16, 20261.0Went in for a battery and alternator test and they decided not to check my alternator because the battery "was good". I explained that I had the battery dash light on and they reassured me it was fine. Went and got a second opinion at AutoZone and not only did they tell me it was my alternator, but they even let me know that my battery was halfway drained. You guys shouldn't offer free services if you don't want to do them.
- SPS. P.Jan 29, 20265.0Great experience at the Pat Booker Rd. location in Universal City, Texas! The store team provided excellent customer service! Ray's professionalism and candor helped me focus on safety in figuring out a battery issue; whereas others might upsell or exaggerate to capitalize on the problem. Ray and his team's approach is how you earn repeat business and help to keep customers safe. Well done and please keep up the great work!

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.
