Re: Auto Zone

Overall I guess I'd have to say they're ok here in the Phoenix area. You just can't beat their Lifetime guarantee. I put 10 Autozone alternators in my 82 Olds in a 10 year span. At $90 USD each it would have cost me a fortune, but I only paid for the first one, the rest were free. When the original Alternator went out, I replaced it with a $90 NAPA alternator that only lasted 6 months, I replaced it again and the 2nd one lasted another 6 months. When the NAPA guy refused to honor the warranty on the second one I went to Autozone. I get free brake pads every year, and free spark plug wires every tune-up.


I have had some problems with their products, but I can say that about EVERY parts store I've used. I've come to the conclusion that we don't live anywhere near "Perfect" when it comes to Auto parts stores.

If you the mechanic know what you're doing and don't take everything they tell you as gospel you should be O.K.
