On numerous occacions you call the damn store and they won't answer. You wait on line for 15 to 20 minutes and they hang up. Is this what customer service is all about? people get tired of waiting and leave. If this persist..

this is the Morovis PR store.

I was treated horribly in this store for being a woman. ” It was very inappropriate and I was highly uncomfortable for the entire duration. I will never be returning to your business and I will be posting this all over social media and any of your website.

I will also be contacting your corporate office. If this is tolerated outright to a customers face I cannot imagine what else goes on in your company.

My first trip to autozone was Thur 4//28/19 and was told after a engine check that I needed a battery, I would have purchased it but they had No one to install it, I then went to Auto Zone in Carson Ca On Sat 3/29/19, and asked if someone could check my care due to engine light coming on I was told by the manager named /wilbur to pop my hood and

he would be out there, well my hood was already open so I stayed in lobby at this time only one man was behind me in line, I stood there for 15mins then noticed the man behind me was being assisted outside,I went Outside and told him I was first in line he told me that he did'nt know I was waiting, I went back in and

asked the manager and was told he went to lunch. I stood there for 20 mins and by now the store was full. Not only did the manager…

I've been a loyal customer of Autozone for many years but my experience in customer service has been deplorable. The Autozone is located at 5418 Cleavland Blvd. Caldwell Idaho 83607. The person I'm have a complaint about is Luis, he is very rude and unwilling to even ask if you need help.

Today I came in to pick up parts I ordered and he just ignored me, I didn't get help, he didn't even offer to help, the store wasn't even busy. I saw another employee walk out from the back and he was Jonny on the spot, saying how can I help you, and so on.

This has happened multiple times, and that's why I'm filling a complaint.

Store manager in Bradenton in 57th Avenue I believe his name is John D, not really sure Was really rude and very nasty, inpatient. I made a purchase at an other location, I paid for 2 items but they only had 1, with my receipt I can pick the other one from that store He called me stupid, and didn’t want to listen to what I’m saying.

He walked away from me while I’m talking. I felt really mistreated, I’ve never been treated that way in my whole life. One of the my worst day. I will never never go that store again. I hope somebody do something about my complaint.

My daughter had a Battery issue with her vehicle and stopped at an AutoZone store in Hendersonville Tenn. He checked her Battery and told her the Battery was bad. My Daughter said she would buy one and the AutoZone person said he wouldn't be able to put the new Battery in the vehicle cause it was raining and also said the Battery is in a bad spot.

Well I have worked on that vehicle before and the Battery is NOT in a bad spot to get to. So my daughter took her vehicle over to Advance Auto she purchased the Battery their and they installed it in ten minutes.

I called and talked to the manager Randy at AutoZone and told him what happened and he didn't think that was a big deal how his employee handled this. I was shocked when he told me this on the phone.

I was here at the auto zone on Amar and Valinda Ave, I needed a can of Yellow paint, it was busy morning for them, so I waited for about half an hour, I grabbed some deodorants for my car as I was waiting and a ratchet tool that looked cool, When I got to the register I told the gentleman that I needed a can of paint, so he went to get the key and

came back and told me that they where missing the key and was going to not be able to sale me the paint, I was not upset at that, what got me upset is that he asked the other staff members and no one knew where the key was, and none of them even bother to help him find the key, there is a lack of team work in this store and I hope something get done, I walked out empty handed, and upset..

My friend purchased a Duralast Battery from Auto Zone about a couple of years ago maybe under a couple of years. I went back to have battery replaced. They had not put my warranty in under my name or number.

I asked if they could just check the battery for a number or anything cause I could not afford to buy a new one. They said no we need a number or name. When my friend purchased the battery she indicated that the guy was rushing so you might need to keep up with your receipt because you have a three year warranty.

Well I cant find my receipt I've looked high and low for it. What I'm trying to say is so if I had anyone name with a warranty on a duralast battery i could use it because y'all dont have anyway of knowing the battery was purchased from y'all unless it's a name or number…

This is what I wrote on Yelp:

I bought a battery from Autozone on Federal road. I assume she was the manager that told me they do not take brand new, never used, never connected, not a scratch on it, returned batteries bought at the same store with receipt "because they can't resale them". I did not argue with her and I knew she was lying. I went to another Autozone and they took the battery and refunded my 200 bucks without question.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THE AUTOZONE 1210 Federal Road Houston Tx 77015

She straight out lied to me which means you can't trust that Autozone with anything.

I went to Auto Zone at 50-700 Harrison, Coachella, CA on Friday, March 30th 2019 to purchase a new battery. The cashier brought the new battery out and installed it into my 2016 Honda Civic. I went to turn my car on and it did not start.

All panel and outside lights were working but the car was not starting. My car had no problems other than it needed to be jumped to get started. After about 30 minutes, the manager comes to tell me that I need to tow my car to the dealership because Auto Zone is not a shop!

Auto Zone installed my battery and all of a sudden my car doesn’t start and they want no responsibility for it. My 8 year old son and I were stuck in the parking lot for 2 hours with all workers inside carrying on about their business.

I had to pay out of picked to tow my car. If…

Last summer, I took my car to the local Auto Zone because I needed a new battery. I own a 2014 Mazda 6 with about 70,000 miles. The offered to put the new battery on for me. As soon as the young guy did it, my car began to spark and alarms and lights on my car began to flash like crazy.

sparks began to fly and lights and alarms started flashing like crazy. Why? because you guessed he hooked it up backwards also. At this point, my car would not start or do anything. They called the manager at his house and he came and looked at the car.

Now that I have been sitting in the parking lot for 2 hours, they determined that my car was going to have to be towed to the Mazda dealer or something because it was totally messed up. Auto Zone kept my car for 3 days to fix the problem.

The store is supposed to open @ 7:30. I look up the times on line before coming at 8:03am. The doors were locked. I called the number and I where are you located. Just to make sure I got the right one.

The manager gave the location. I informed her I’m in the parking lot and what time will you be open. She ask me why you called you see we’re not open. I tried to spoke and she cut me off saying”we will be open in thirty minutes and hung up.

So rude, I just went to Oreilys.

well first of all you cannot kick people out of line that are standing there waiting to pay . while the guy is getting your part and this child with a goatee in this store comes up tells me . I got to move out of the way. cuz he's got to help his customer. cuz he's too stupid to help the other customer. The lady had to go fix his problem on his register. he clears the register of all my stuff. Yeah Fuck that.! That's bullshit. That kid needs to lose his job.

I've spent over 20 to $30,000 at AutoZone restoring vehicles. I will never spend another penny in this store or any AutoZone anywhere.

I sent this complaint last month to BBB. I am a 100% severely combat disabled veteran. I need to make sure that my vehicles are operable in case of an emergency. I have been an AutoZone customer for about over two decades and so far the service has been outstanding.

However, on 4 October 2018, I bought two batteries which one was for my 2005 Mustang. Recently during the past month, my car would not start and I jumped started my Mustang and the battery worked. This week my car would not start at all including a jump start.

On 25 Feb 2019, I took the battery to AutoZone and the customer service representative checked the battery. He stated that he can charge the battery. I told him that is not acceptable because it appears the battery…

I'm the Service Director at a Toyota dealership, a few blocks from the Auto Zone on Route 12 in Volo. We purchased $500.00 worth of parts last night. This is, what we thought might be a start of Non-Toyota parts to be purchased as your company has solicited us. We've worked with the local NAPA dealer for years, but lately wanted to branch out.

The person was rude on the phone with a curt demeanor. When one of our employees arrived to pick up the parts he felt interrogated by questions and was solicited to work for your company. I was quite surprised as we are not a competitor of this establishment nor have any knowledge of previous confrontations . Your employee's name was Jaimie Q. (not sure of the full last name) but he did identify himself as the manager).

On Friday march 15 I stopped at the AUTOZONE store at 1242 capital drive Pewaukee WI ,store #4338 on bought a dome light bulb at 705 pm. I installed the bulb and realized it blew a fuse and my car wouldn't shift out of park after looking thru the owners manual it didn't give the exact fuse to replace so at 738 pm I decided to buy some fuses to hopefully fix the problem.

As I was checking I mentioned that my car wouldn't shift out of park,his comment was sounds like a fun project, I stated yes, considering I was parked in front of their building stranded at the moment, not once did they offer to help as I was trying to figure out what fuse it was. I saw them starting to get ready to lock up the building at this time it was 800 pm, they shut off the lights locked the door and left.

I went to the Autozone in Pittsburg Kansas 66762 looking for a gasket for my vehicle. I talked to a colored guy named "Eddie" he brought me 2 different gaskets of different sizes from the back for my vehicle. I asked him how I could be sure which one would work as my car only used 1 kind of gasket for the fix.

He looked at me and rudely said he wasn't my mechanic and he was only there to sell parts! So I replied with so you only sell parts and are not there to be helpful to customers? His reply again was he wasn't my mechanic and he wasn't going to check anything to see if it would actually fit.

I initially had a superb experience at the store in Ontario, California. Sadly, it turned ugly, and I did not return for the remainder of the items I wished to purchase.

The salesperson Dan (not the manager named Dan) gave me superb service advising me about products and helping me get the best deal. I was truly impressed.

Sadly, when I asked for a recommendation for a mechanic, he advised me to go to someone who apparently was a good customer of the store and seemed to be a friend too. That would have been all good if Dan didn't emphasize that the guy was "white" and, seeing that I had no response to that, repeated, saying he was "white and middle class." Apparently, Dan doesn't like people of color or people he might not think are "middle class," whatever he means by that. I took it as…

I bought the wrong product for my car as my mechanic explained to me and returned it within 3 days unopened wth the receipt. A young white cashier took it, open the top, shook it and weighed it in his hands.

He then left to get another one of the same. I asked him Was there a problem. He said this is used. , I never opened it or used it. I asked to speak to the manger who was standing at the next counter.

The manage Walter blatantly said we don’t take those back anyway and it’s used. I was appalled and shocked at what i heard. He rudely said comeback tomorrow the manager will be in. I couldn’t believe my ears. I asked about the refund policy and he said we don’t returned items.

Have been going to location for a long time and I spend lots of $ there. They wouldn't swap my warranty on a tie rod end because they said it was returned already. They pulled up my file and I showed them all of the parts I purchased on that date.

I also showed the duralast part in my hand. How could it have been returned when I'm holding it?? You have recently changed management in the store and the manager blew it off and stuck the red shirt with the problem.

This isn't the first time I've had a problem with warranty exchange. But at least the previous management would work it out.

He then tried to sell me felt washers and lube, I said know and he said it would voice the warrante. He was arguemenitive, I told him all I want is a battery. He said all he was waiting for is how I was paying, I had been holding my Discover card the whole time.

I sent my daughter who is 22 years old to Autozone for a car battery for her car in bayville NJ. Jessica was the person who installed the battery. When doing so, she hit the neck of the radiator that attaches the hose and broke it.

I have trying to call the bayville store and finally got a hold of Scott. After telling him what happened, he said is was no way she could of done this due to where the battery location was. I told him he was wrong and I have a letter from toyota stating different.

I agree after looking at it. I do not believe this happened going to the store after I checked the battery. Toyota wrote me a letter to the fact and the toyota service manager told us exactly what happened to cause this.

I visited this Auto Zone on 12/30/18 at 11:11 am in Levittown, NY and the woman in this video, claiming to be the Manager without being asked, was behaving very unlady like with me as well as yelling, raising her voice and rufusing to sell me a product! This was a terrible experience as I came here to get a part that wasn’t available in your Auto Zone in Bethpage.

Terrible service and a terrible woman !! I wish her better days.
