I had an excellent experience thanks to Charles. He went above and beyond helping to get our battery replaced. He took the time to make sure everything was done correctly and went further than what was required of him. His professionalism and willingness to help were truly appreciated. Thank you, Charles, for outstanding service!

I'm not sure how I could have a bill with a gold battery and, apparently, the correct light bulb for my headlight, step outside to get my wallet and come back in to a bill $20 higher bill with a silver battery (??) and a different (wrong) bulb. After finding out the bulb isn't the correct one, the initial one, now I'm supposed to pay $38 more for the correct one or attempt to bring back the bulb before 4 p.m. so the supervisor MAY provide an exchange?? I work too.. I trusted the experts to give me the correct product and now they won't stand behind what they sold me. DON'T TRUST THEM TO HAVE YOUR BACK.

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.
