I came in with battery issues and a different store had told me it was my starter. Johnny did a thorough investigation and was able to fix my battery and recheck and Explained why the starter code would've happened with the lower battery. He took time energy and effort to help and it was so appreciative.

Came in to dump oil and Nick was the associate that assisted me and made sure I had anything and everything for my next oil change. Asked if I knew of all specials for oil changes and gave great recommendations for other car care options. Amazing and positive personality....Go To Associate!

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.
