Autozone.con me
January 14, 2025

I bought blend doors from Autozone.com and paid the extra shipping to have it delivered it 2 days. I called the day after I ordered to check the status of my order to find out that Crown hasn't even shipped it yet. Frankly, I'm very displeased with Autozone.com and will never purchase from them again. My vehicle interior is completely dismantled due to replacing the heater core. I noticed the blend doors were bad and went online to find the fastest replacement so I ordered them with the guarantee of 2 day delivery if I paid the extra. I missed work for 2 days waiting on a part that hasn't left the supplier. Now I'll have to put it all back together just so I can get to work and then dismantle it all again when the part comes. If there was a way I could sue them for the loss of work I would. I won't step back into an AutoZone either.

Broken windshield
October 28, 2024

I bought wipers employee install them a few days later I put on wipers, it flew off causing to break my windshield. The manager doesn't want to take accountability for the employee. A billion dollar company and never take accountability for the mistakes of the employees. This happened a few months back now it's gotten longer and will get worst as time goes on. Just not fair I have to pay for something I have no fault of.

Pure lies
September 29, 2024

My other review, I typed 2.50 I meant they have part and $250.00 of my money and still, nothing. Wanted to correct that mistake. As you can see, The one they sent is way bigger shaft than the one I ordered in the photo. So update, I did get a refund from AutoZone and I thank them but still say their customer service people can't tell you nothing. They only know to say what you want to hear.

Sent me broken, returned headlights
September 5, 2024
Updated review

I ordered online from Autozone.com. The headlights I received were previously opened, returned and are no longer functioning. This was clearly a return, with greasy fingerprints, security label removed and damage to the box.
I've lost my faith in Autozone.com, Im super disappointed in them. I have come to expect some kind of problem from every order

They really tried hard to screw this one up
April 16, 2024
Previous review

Paid for my purchase on the 5th, a shipment to someone else arrived on the 11th, quoted the 7th at checkout. I immediately contacted customer service, it took 24 hours to get a response. They were not interested in getting me the correct parts, their focus was only on getting the incorrect parts back to them. It took me 5 days to get a return label for the incorrect shipment. (I'm still waiting to see if they will ship my package)
Autozone was not willing to correct their shipping mistake and customer service seams designed to make the process more difficult.
25 years of loyalty properly rewarded

Designed to die car batteries
August 22, 2024

My battery just died on me exactly 2 months after my warranty expired. The AAA assistant technician showed me 5 batteries in his trunk, all purchased from auto zone and all died between one and three months after the warranty expired. I spoke with Elda the rude and unhelpful manager of this God Forsaken store in Northridge, and was told that I was not eligible for any kind of battery replacement nor any discounts. I've been going to Auto Zone for my car parts since I was 22 years old. Is it a coincidence that all batteries purchased from Auto Zone die 2 months after the warranty expires. There's no coincidences, and don't expect them to give you the time of day either.

Worst Customer Service at store 3886
August 14, 2024

I went to store #3686 to replace my car battery that was under warranty, and the acting store manager (I believe that is her position since she wears a different uniform) denied the replacement, I mentioned that I had already talked on the phone with a manager that asked me to bring the vehicle for the replacement, and this "manager" laugh at me and said: "good morning, have a good day", turning her back on me. I went to store 4269, the store where I purchased the battery, and the manager, great at customer service, responded immediately honoring AutoZone warranty. Store 3686 supervisor erodes AutoZone brand and frankly, she is in need of training. She showed no compassion, care or even interest in the case and set the wrong example for the employees in the store. One of them was trying to help me and she overrode his actions and cancelled the case. She was disrespectful and made fun of what I was saying, was rude and does not understand AutoZone's pledge: always put customers first! Simply unacceptable

I purchased and installed their top of the line gold series pads and rotors in my silverado 1500. After 5 months of mostly hywy driving they are shot! I talked to others and they have the same complaints. I will not attempt to even return the parts for the so-called lifetime warrentee as they will probably not honor it anyway. Also these were ceramics and were supposedly being ceramic should not create brake dust, which they did, EXCESSIVELY! Cheap Asian quility parts in my humble opinion. I now have purchased and installed OEM ROTORS AND PADS. ON my last truck I did that and got over 2 years out of brakes and no rotor wear. They can keep anything made by Duralast as the stuff don't last!

Bad News Battery
May 21, 2024

I purchased a car battery in January, 2024, with a 3 year guarantee, in Portland, Oregon. It failed in May, 2024. I returned it with proof of purchase for a replacement. The young man at the counter insisted that I must also furnish my phone number. I had not given them my phone at the time of purchase. He was demanding and refused to honor their guarantee. I had to buy a $130 battery elsewhere.

Don't get ripped off like me
April 15, 2024

Don't go here. My experience started 5 months ago. I needed a new battery. Went and placed it, ensured there was a warranty and drove away happy. Cut to this week. I go out to start my car. Nothing. Completely dead. I get a jump, it starts right away. I drive to this store and I was told that they would need to test the battery to make sure it was ok. They tested it but I was not allowed to see what the test said. They denied it was the battery and told me it could be my alternator. So I bring it home, have my son (a mechanic mind you) replace my alternator, and assume I'm good. I had an appointment at my dealer for an oil change (I still get them for free) so I asked them to check it when I brought it in to ensure my battery and starter was ok. Half hour later? They tell me the battery is completely dead. So dead they can't even tell if it is the starter. They give me that, in writing, so I head back to the store to get it replaced, thinking well now two people have told me it's the battery so they have to honor their warranty, Right?!

I arrive at the store. Another gentleman parked next to me, in a brand new car, is also asking about his battery. They refuse him a new one as well. I try to enter the store, following the salesman who was testing this gentleman's car. He dropped the door on me. I stand in line and get the next person, not this man, and tell him my problem. Before the words come out of my mouth, this man broke into our conversation and told me we'd have to test it first. Several times. I called out his rudeness but he proceeded, while he was "helping" his own customer (he left angry too). He then again tests my dead battery and again says it's good, without showing me. Tells me he won't replace my warrantee part like it was coming out of his pay. He was the most disagreeable man I've ever encountered.

So now I hear I sit, out of $259 because this store won't honor their warranties. The man next to me was about as happy with this news as I was and he left angry too. I could almost tolerate this if it wasn't also for the complete lack of respect I was shown. I don't need to be treated like a princess, but raising your voice to me in a store where you are employed is just plain outrageous. If anyone is wondering, this man's name I did not obtain but he looks like if Meatloaf had a baby with Skeletor. Avoid him at all costs. He does not deserve to have a job with his complete and utter lack of customer service.

So, do not go here, especially as a woman, or you will be talked down to like you know nothing, even when you are correct and have paperwork to verify it. I will never enter this store again and I urge everyone to do the same. I will mention that the man I encountered the first time was nice, and the other man who tried to help me today was lovely. But this guy? Deserves to be fired.

Great value, Poor customer service at Pittsfield, Ma location
August 12, 2023
Previous review

The Store manager at this location is wonderful but the assistant manager is miserable. I ordered parts and when I came to the store they said it was not in yet come back later. So I did and the box that was there earlier was mine so I made 2 trips for no reason plus one of the parts was the wrong size. Plus the hired a guy that was a former manager at Mavis tire that ripped off many customers. WOW! I do love Autozone but they need a employee overhaul again the store manager is wonderful.

Mean store clerk treated me like a dog
March 2, 2024

I was given the meanest treatment in any auto shop at Auto Zone store #6030 near Magnolia Avenue Pearland Area, thanks to Terri who was on her personal phone texting and made we wait for awhile when there were no customers. Even when I said can you help me she looked irritated and I asked her if she can look up the battery for my car on the computer and she refused. I would stop buying Auto Zone stock because of the worst customer service and thoroughly boycott them until they learn to treat their customers like human beings and not dogs. Surprised how people like this still work for Auto Zone! 😭

Worst corporate company ever
February 27, 2024

I cant be specific enough. This company is the absolute worst when it comes to customer service as well how they choose to staff their locations. It seems like every location I've been to in gainseville is equipped with kids that have little to no knowledge of automotive knowledge. The few people ( adults) they did have working at these stores are no longer with them company and I can't blame them. Here's a real kicker too AutoZone discriminate against people that's are handicapped or have disabilities. A damn shame. And they should be embarrassed of their corporate staff that condone such behavior.

No kidding
February 21, 2024

On January 16,2024, I purchased a muffler and an exhaust gasket from AutoZone.com and paid an extra $4.99 for 2-day delivery.

Problem #1: The muffler was late, arriving on January 19.

Problem #2: The muffler is dented, which came as no surprise considering that it came in no package whatsoever, just a muffler wrapped in a little plastic—not even bubble wrap.

Problem #3: The two muffler support arms, which get installed through hanger holes, do not bulge at their ends, leaving the support arms at risk of sliding out of the hangers.

Problem #4: While I was waiting for the exhaust gasket to arrive so I could fix my car, I was using the only other vehicle that I own: a motorcycle. But coming home every day with hands that were nearly frostbitten left me with little choice but to reuse an old gasket of mine and install AutoZone's muffler, which I did on January 23. (I had to rig the muffler support arms with thick zip-ties to reduce the risk that the arms slid out of the hanger holes.)

Problem #5: On January 25, I called AutoZone customer service number and spoke to a "Louis." When I told him I wanted my $5.60 back for the gasket that never came, he told me that he could not issue me a refund and that he must "submit a request" for one because my order for the gasket was "special." Dumbfounded, I asked him what made my order so. He replied that what made my order special was that it was coming from Memphis. Say what? AutoZone's headquarters are in Memphis—headquarters, by the way, that it would take me all of three hours to drive to from the address that the gasket was supposed to be delivered to. Louis might as well have told me that my order was special because his favorite color is blue. So I told him he needed to have my $5.60 credited back to my card within "a few days."

I waited until February 1 to see if AutoZone had credited my card, and they had not. So that day I wrote and mailed a letter of complaint to their headquarters in Memphis, telling them what happened and that I wanted my $5.60 credited back to my card by the close of business on February 14.

Well, we are now one full week past that date, and I still don't have my $5.60 back (or the new gasket, which I ordered over a month ago and which of course is useless to me to now).
