The person at the front desk literally seen me walking into the door and locked it and closed early. Mind you it was 440 on a Friday… please avoid this place. The customer service is poor and they are super rude.

Uniformed workers running the store while their manager hides in the back. Went to do a return on a car battery that wouldn't even fit in my car and when the manager had to come up and assist they refused the return after glancing at the battery for only a moment. He said in a rude tone of voice that it was installed so they won't return the battery doesn't matter that I was given a battery that wouldn't even fit under my hood. Was not approachable or willing to have a conversation just dismissive. Felt like this was nothing but laziness and a refusal to serve customers. After explaining I never had any issues like this while shopping at O'riles I was told that they weren't O'riles so I guess Ill just shop there from now on since AutoZone doesn't want to help their customers when they pick the wrong part to being with.

You would be absolutely fool to give this location any of your money. The disrespect that was caused by one of them. Pleayes, but I want to be employees. It's uncalled for and I know. I'm not the only one that has doubt with the attitude of that certain employee. The lack of knowledge and the lack of customer service will have me never stopping at this location with my business again.

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.
