- DBDouglas BrockNov 12, 20251.0I called Tuesday at 3pm to see if I could buy and get a battery installed and was told that they would do it after 5pm. I went home and came back after 5 to be told they could not do it after dark. So I bought the Battery and had to get someone to install it as I am disabled and couldn’t do it myself, went back in the morning to get my $22.00 refund and got attitude because I needed someone to get it out of my trunk and the kid was told I needed an install, all in all they made the experience a unpleasant one and can’t recommend your business again
- MSMatthew SmithSep 13, 20251.0Wouldn’t even consider a price match even though advanced auto has price match guarantee. Instantly told me no without asking any questions. Also very rude manager
- JPJohn ParkSep 11, 20251.0새로운 배터리를 사는데 배터리 보증기간이 4년으로 되어있었어요 그런데 품질보증워런티로47불정도를 추가로 지불했더군요 참고로 제딸이 먼저가서 금액을 지불했습니다 몇분후에 제가 도착해서 이것저것 보다가 영수증도 보게되었는데 터무니없이 비싸더군요. 그래서 물어봤더니 워런티를 해야된다네요. 어이가 없어서 캔슬한다고 줄서있으니까 매니저가 와서 워런티를 캔슬해주겠다고 하더군요 여기는 손님을 봐가면서 어수룩해보이면 바가지 씌우는 그런 점포인것같아요 다시는 방문 안하렵니다. 참고로 몇달전에 제딸이 배터리를 바꿨는데 그때도 그리했는지 모르겠네요. 여러분중에도 착해보이거나 어수룩해보이면 그리 당할수도 있을지모르니 참고하세요
- PYPınar yükselAug 17, 20255.0Very honest people
- PYPINAR YÜKSELDURSUNAug 17, 20255.0This place has such good people working there, very honest. I dont know if the person we met was the manager or not, but he gave us valuable information and did not try to sell the product, instead he suggested we take a second opinion and make sure of the problem in the car before buying the item.

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.
