- CCCharlie Marlow - Financial CoachMar 30, 20265.0The young man that helped my went above and beyond my expectation when I went to buy a new battery for my Outback. The terminals were corroded and he cleaned the battery and terminals, saying that that may have been preventing the car from starting. He said I may not need a battery and we should try that first. When that proved not to be the case, he looked up the right battery and have me options with different price points and warranties. He then installed the battery I choseand I was in my way in less than 30 minutes.
- APAnthony PatrickJan 2, 20261.0It seems like the owner reads the reviews, I’m leaving one because I hope it helps to better the training of staff in the future. There is a young fellow that works there, He wouldn’t stop dropping f-bombs and making inappropriate racially charged jokes while there were customers inside. I also noticed him getting aggressive with an older gentleman which is what prompted me to leave this review. This is my neighborhood AAP and would like to see tighter training tolerance or risk losing customers. I shop here all the time and would love to notice positive changes after this review and I will happily change my review to a 5 star! Otherwise keep helping the community get their cars on the road 💪
- JAJenna AsmirJan 18, 20245.0Brandon the associate was super helpful and super informative to somebody who’s not super well rounded in cars and it’s always scared to get up charged. I felt very comfortable and felt I got good service at a good price.
- KCKevin ConleyOct 30, 20155.0Oct 20 2015 we arrived from Ft Myers Fl for a 10 year wedding anniversary trip. When we arrived at Regan airport my wife scooter was dead and had a tough time. getting it to go. We were going to go downtown DC that night but could not have done that with out help of Nick and William(manager trainee). They were abl. To get the battery out of the case and found it to be cracked and leaking acid. After about an hour we were on our way to hotel to charge it up. With out these 2 fine men our trip was doomed on arrival. Thank You both, Kevin and Cathy Conley

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.
