Needed a new car battery, ordered online, picked up in-store for installation. Staff were very helpful, everything went very smoothly and quickly, they even beat me to my car with the new battery and tools while I was finishing up inside. Will be back for my next battery (hopefully not soon!).
One thing I will note, the check-out process *for their website* was not easy. It kept glitching when I tried to use Paypal, which they advertise as accepting. Of course this is not the location's fault, just thought I would note it for others!

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.
