I had a wonderful experience here thanks to Omar at the front desk. He is highly knowledgeable and gave great advice about my car. When I went to install my new battery, I almost shocked myself. Omar stepped in and explained the exact, correct order to connect it so I could finish the job safely. Top-tier customer service!

Called and asked if they had crash wrap or something to use to cover a broken car window. Our insurance company told us auto parts stores should have it. The person on the phone questioned what I was asking for, said they don’t have it, and then just sat in silence for 30 seconds. He then hung up the phone. Super odd experience. Our insurance company literally told us to do this and he made it seem like the dumbest request on earth.

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.
