- LMLaura MMay 5, 20265.0I stopped by yesterday to have a code read on my VW Tiguan. I was helped by Nick, who was helping from his regular store, Woodbridge. I’m so glad he was there. My last experience getting a code read there wasn’t nearly as good as this time. Nick took time to not only tell me the code number, he also told me what it meant, explained how the codes work, etc. and made sure I understood what he explained without talking down to me or patronizing me. I’ll return to his store if I need help in the future. Thanks Nick!

- KPKirby PeelerJan 25, 20265.0We were greeted & helped right away. I just needed wiper blades, which I could have found & installed on my own, but it was really nice to just chill & have it done by someone else on this particular day. Super appreciate the extra hand today. 🙏🏼
- MEMark ElwellDec 1, 20255.0I went in there fully expecting to pay full price for a battery but mine was under warranty & cost me nothing. Also Mr. Eric swapped battery out for me and was amazing. Ty ME.
- ESEsme StyleNov 29, 20255.0Eric helped me with my battery after a bad experience with another employee. He was respectful, friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend his service.

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.
