Default Auto Zone Brakes for my TJ?

I need to replace a caliper, both wheel cylinders, drums, rotors, basically everything. The brake shop didn't like AutoZone parts. But was he trying to upsell me? I am going to do the work my self and I would love to hear what any of you think. and Any tips for me? I've never had to bleed lines or replace fluid.

i have sworn off doing biz at AutoZone - after they fired employee Devin McClean (Air Force Veteran) for rescuing & protecting his manager & coworkers, when a SERIAL robber held him, the store manager & coworkers at gun point in a back room of the store !

I personally don't usually buy parts from their but if there closer to me I'll go there with no problem.... they sell the same parts that Napa, pep boys, or mechanics auto parts..... And any other parts dealer online will have the same parts..... I see no reason not to use their parts.... That shop was trying to upsell u.... As long as u know what to do to do ur own brake overhaul ull be fine using their parts

theres nothing wrong w/ their parts - ive used 'em for years on our cars/truck etc.

oriely & advanced auto are just as good - ive been dealing exclusively w/ advanced auto (just put new rotors & pads on my superduty f350, front and rear)...im happy w/ advanced auto product quality & selection.

Thanks guys! I got it done. I've never had to bleed the lines but after watching a couple YouTube videos it was really basic.
