Ahmed H was extremely helpful to me in selecting and changing the wiper blades on my car. He was friendly and had a big smile throughout the transaction. Because of Ahmed, I will definitely return to this location.

I visited to replace my car battery and key, and the staff member, Darrin (apologies if I’ve misspelled his name), did the work quickly and efficiently! He was very professional and kind, paying close attention to detail during the battery installation. I will definitely return next time. Thank you!

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.
