- NDNoel DieppaNov 11, 20255.0Issues with my battery. As I began to remove the old one found out that my '12 Dodge Journey has a battery currency sensor on the negative cable and it was damaged. Did some research online and found it at this location. Called the store to verify it was in stock and the customer service representative was very helpful and patient. I gave 5 stars because upon picking up the part they made sure to ask questions regarding other accessories that I had forgotten about. Thank you
- IAIsaac AndersonNov 11, 20255.0Kudos to Chad! Great service, always great help when I stop in. Always friendly, willing to help, and very knowledgeable. Stopped in to replace a battery on my vehicle today for the winter season, as my battery has out lived my car payments. Chad got me all squared away making sure I had exactly what I needed. Chad even went outside ahead of purchase to make sure we were getting the correct battery. Chad got the battery installed and my car back on the road in no time. Always impressed with the service here.

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.
