I had a really disappointing experience at this location. I went in to have my battery tested and potentially purchase a new one to be installed, especially since there’s a sign posted outside clearly stating that they offer battery testing and installation services. However, when I asked for help, the employees refused to assist me.
I was given no clear explanation as to why the service wasn’t being provided, even though it’s advertised, which I found especially disappointing given that they were promoting the service to customers right outside their store but weren’t following through. I understand that there may sometimes be circumstances that prevent certain services from being performed, but that should be communicated clearly and professionally.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience today. I left feeling misled and disappointed.

Very friendly and informative staff. My battery died and I need a replacement. They had it in stock and they even installed it for me at no charge.

Amazing customer service! Thank you to Eduardo for helping me change my car battery, even when it was super cold outside. I don't know what else I would have done! Truly above and beyond service, and I'm super grateful. Totally saved my day! I'm so glad that there are kind people in the world.

Eddie was willing to walk across fairly deep snow to replace our wiper blades. Awesome customer service!

I bought a windshield wiper blade replacement for my car and was not offered windshield wiper installation at the time of purchase. After trying to install it myself I came back and asked for help to install it. They refused. I'm sorry but if you don't take the time to help your customers out with a small request then I can't trust you guys to handle other requests in the future.

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.
