It's like going to any other auto parts store. Some items/parts are priced decently and other items/parts are priced too high. I only go if they have what I need in stock at a decent price. If I don't like their price or they don't have what I need in stock, I look elsewhere. Usually order what I need online and wait for it to ship to my house.
For example I was working on a 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee and needed two lower front ball joints. Advanced Auto had them in stock but wanted too much for them so I ordered online from another business and saved around $30. Yes I had to wait a few days for the parts to arrive to do the job, but it was worth the wait since I saved money!

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
