I've bought 2 things from this store, and it was the same item both times because the part lasted 2 months (not really Advance's fault, I'll do a review on their page for that part).
First time when ordering the part I needed before a 700mi trip the upcoming weekend and I called them. They said 'we can have that tomorrow' when it was 8:30pm. I made sure they knew what time it was and they reassured me. When I called at 5pm the following day after work they told me they don't have it (expected that). When I called the next day, they still didn't have it. So the 3rd day it came in.
When this part broke 2 mo later they honored their limited lifetime warranty but told me they didn't see it in the system. Their servers went down and lost my info. But thankfully they were kind and still told me how I can get the refund on the 2nd part I purchased.
The people are very nice, hence the 3 stars, but I will not be going back. Don't even get me started with their competitors.
I'll be ordering my parts from online competitors from now on.

I’ve called 3 times in the past week to order a part or check availability. The people I’ve talked to act like they don’t want to do their job and treat you like a nuisance for calling. I know exactly what I need, I have a part number but damn you can’t please those sassy guys. Answering calls/ attitude training much needed.

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.
