- JJJohnny JacksonSep 28, 20265.0I felt like we was stuck like everything was falling apart. Samuel was an angel from God. He replaced the battery when he didn't have to. Really cared about me. I would advise this place and that worker. Phenomenal.
- ABAndrew BransonSep 7, 20265.0I received one faulty brake pad (out of 4) from this store. I put the first pair of brake pads in my truck before attempting to return the faulty one, without removing the other two brake pads from my truck. Went in to this store and D'avion(?) called John (Jon?) from the S Plaza Trail store, they worked together, pulled some strings, and resolved it immediately. Incredible.
- MCMiranda CoenAug 29, 20261.0my husband came here to get a new battery bc he was told that they do free installation with purchase. they told him to remove his old battery himself and someone would come install the new battery when they got a minute. the guy comes over, proceeds to tell my husband that he will "probably not" install the batterv for him. my husband asks why not, seeing as how they supposedly offer free installation with purchase, and the guy says since my husband already started touching things (removing the battery like he was told??) he wont install the battery because he doesnt want to be responsible if something goes wrong!? he spent over 30 minutes waiting for a battery that i ordered online and was already ready before my husband even arrived. $150 spent just to be treated like crap. definitely would not reccomended and definitely not coming back here. worth it to spend the little bit extra and go somewhere else to get better customer service.
- AFAngela F.Aug 28, 20265.0Kevin is, by far, the best employee they’ve most likely ever had. He is handsome, funny and went above and beyond to help me out. He deserves all the accolades for his professionalism and personality.
- NANicole A.Jun 29, 20265.0Great experience. Gary provided excellent customer service. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He was able to figure out exactly what the issue with my car was and explained the different options I had to resolve it. The shop I went to previously had difficulty determining the cause, whereas Gary was able to tell me very quickly.

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.
