AutoZone Gripe

[workingout]

Two out of the the last three parts I got from AZ were wrong. Nothing is more frusturating than taking your car apart in your driveway just to find out you got parted.

AutoZone really droped the ball.

ive never gotten a correct part from them

ive almost gotten into violent bloody fights with the employees

hell, I know their stores better than they do. But dude...get in the zone...buy tire flys *the led on your valve stem* and chrome air filters!

my uncle used to be a manager at az


and he said that what he knows know about az he would never get a part from them

[tubjub]

hm... my #1 reason why i never shop at autozone, because the parts they give you are rarely the correct part. i'll stick with advance auto or napa

I was buying a new battery at the AZ up the road from me and I had my truck there and they still sold me the wrong one.

My dad had to go back and get the right one...

I think the guys that work at the one here are pervs too...they always creep me out.

Yea I hate autozone too, I refuse to go there so I drive an extra 10min to a discount auto. The service sucks and whenever I was in there, I would have to correct them....always.

That's why I do my research ahead of time. Go onto AZ's site and get the model numbers or whatever. Then just give the dipshits the model number, but be sure to double check. Usually works for me. Or just go to NAPA.

I have always gotten the wrong parts from them. I replaced the same cv shaft 3 times before it was right. Everytime I went to get the part it was the wrong one for my car, it still fitted but it wore out quick. I'm going to have to replace my cv's again here soon, even though they are only 6-7 months old. After the 3rd time replacing that cv I had to run all over the place to get it. So I got into a agruement over the phone with the store up home, needless to say when I went in to pick up the part once again she strted yelling at me. After a few minutes of yellking and swearing at each other (infront of customers). The manger came out and banned me from the store. Oh well, p*ss on them because I get a 20% discount from advanced. Needless to say worst parts store ever!!

Autozone has been fairly good to me in Colorado. I do like the service and KNOWLEDGE that Checker has (easily been the most helpful). I've only been to Advance once. Pepboys is afwul here too. but hey, theres good/bad about every place.

I think what it boils down to is that, customer service and nice people are getting harder to find at retail places such as part stores and other places.

My ex used to work at an AZ in the late 90's and always got the part right, but then she could rebuild engines better than most guys. So I would go to AZ just cuz I still carry a little flame for her, but I dont think I will be going back any time soon.

i'm with you. Know what you're asking for, and always double check

My brother in law worked at an AZ.....he knows nothing about cars....oh wait, that explains everything.
