This evening, Shon and Troy provided me with outstanding customer service which went above and beyond any reasonable expectations. I’ve recently been experiencing problems with my engine turning over when starting the vehicle and they quickly diagnosed that the battery had reached the end of its useful life. While installing the new battery, they determined the terminal stuck to the post and the post was coming out of the battery. To help me avoid the vehicle having to be towed, they “chiseled away” at the terminal connector until it dislodged from the post. Many thanks to your dedicated employees!

My go-to auto parts source! I received a 100% positive buying experience. They always have what I need, and if not track it down and get it for me. Steve and Tim do anything it takes to satisfy their customers! They answered all my questions, and went out of their way to resolve any issues. Reasonable prices, great inventory. I will return. I recommend Autozone for all your vehicle needs

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.
