M. One lady ahead of me in line being helped. Waited in line 3-5 minutes, did not get acknowledged or greeted by any staff, I saw at least 2 people on duty. Went to go look at other items, to waste some time.

Then decided to go back and wait behind the same lady in line once again. No hello, no I will be right with you as soon as I can. Nothing. That's what Autozone made me feel like. In closing I have been a customer of the Autozone in Mission Viejo for years, I use to shop their when they were called Chief Autoparts.

In closing, I would like to say that usually this place has good service, I don't know what went on their the night I went but I have never had such a negative experience like this at Autozone. Just thought someone might like to know. Sincerely, Joe Riserbato

I was rudely approached by your store manager who was asking me what I had wanted I told him I was just shopping now because the paint wasnt the right kind and he responded by telling me to leave I thought it was only because the store was closing but I went outside and checked the posted sign listing the hours of operation so

I go back inside because it was only 7 30 and this branch closed at 9 but he kicked me out and started speaking loud islamiah remarks I couldn't understand so I left before he gave him self a heart attack this sort of behavior is not appropriate especially coming from a man in a leadership position.

I am a disabled veteran exposed to Agent Orange. I have no right leg, poorly functioning hands, eyes, cannot be in temperatures over 81 degrees or heat exposure, possible heat stroke. I need a MAP Sensor for a 1991 Chevy G-20 350 V8 Disability Van so I can go to VA and doctor appointments.

I have two degrees in auto mechanics. It is 102 plus heat, but well be cooler for a few days shortly. so I need replacement part. I tried to order it today from Auto Zone, Nob Hill, Yakima by phone, to be picked up by my Care-giver after payment by card.

I was told Auto Zone only allows the purchaser to pick up the part in person, which I cannot do because disability van does not run without part and it is over 81 degrees out (can't go out). This of course is discriminatory against disabled.

I contacted customer service today through email and did not get a response back yet, but that is becoming the norm. I placed 3 pickup in store ordersyesterday the 19th, and my orders are all still processing??? Still did not get an email saying my orders were ready. Also I have a $20 rewards credit that is not showing up online so I can use it to make my next purchase. Also my gift card is not showing up either???? What is going on with Autozone anymore????

I just had to cancel an order for shocks Thursday night the 18th because it was next day shipping and a couple days later they still were not shipped, the customer service rep said that place was the only place they could ship these common everyday shocks from. So I had him cancel the order, and refund the money!!!

I went to Auto Zone in Riverview, Fl. They said the battery was bad. I replaced the battery. The place put the battery in for me. The next day I found out that the cable wasn't tightened and was loose. My car wouldn't start.

When I lifted the hood that's when I found out that the cable was off. I went to the auto zone on palm river rd. They put a piece on the cable make it tighten. I find this dangerous because I could have been in a wreck or even death.

I don't trust auto zone anymore for putting my life in danger.

Jose the cashier of Portage, IN Autozone got loud with me and threaten to "beat my ass" and followed I me outside saying "if you want a problem to come up and say what's up". Jose should be fired. Customer service should be first priority.

When a customer asks for a copy of a receipt and gives a specific time and date along with register why can you not provide me with a receipt for the property that I have purchased. Jose should have never told me to get out if I'm not buying anything and he should not have followed me out and refused to provide me with a receipt.

Jose is an overweight Mexican man with glasses and a beard and AutoZone hat. A customer should never be yelled at and when I asked for manager he said he was the only manager so try again. Terrible customer service the other…

I went to get my alternator checked and get a new battery if needed. They could not check the alternator because their computer was dead. I just bought a new battery and then they tell me that they do not install it on my make and model of car.

I don't have the tools to do it myself. I came to AutoZone because they are supposed to install it and they didn't.

I purchased a defected part from Autozone. I was driving my car and the housing that is on the thermostat broke and Antifreeze spilled all over my engine. I pulled over in the Advanced Auto parking lot because my car started smoking.

I contacted Auto zone and right away they agreed to reimburse me the parts. All of the parts. My problem is I don’t have full coverage and my car is stranded at advanced auto and I cannot afford to have it towed and fixed again by mechanic.

I have left several messages on the phone number that auto zone provided 423-708-2057 and stated it was corporate number. The voicemail stated they will call back ASAP. Today I called 901-495-6500 and spoke with Eroy who said that there was a 24 hour return call policy.

They will call me in 24 hours. I have missed work…

My wife and kids went to return some gloves that didn’t fit me and pick me up some rca cables. 00. She walked in store with receipt in hand and product but unfortunately because they apparently don’t have cameras and the manager didn’t see her walk in the store with it,he presumed she was pulling a scam.

He also called police to embarrass the hell out of her with these accusations. The police came And saw no wrong doing on my wife’s part. The worker had police give her a criminal trespass even though she did nothing wrong.

He at first refused the refund of the gloves but did ultimately give the refund. 00 plus dollars in merchandise she was about to purchase before all this and i told her to leave it. Not only will I never shop at autozone again ,but I will let everyone I come across…

Store #1252 7/13/19 This store is not close to where I live now, but I've been coming here for years because of the customer service. The last battery that I purchased for my car at this location was in March or April of 2015.

It came with a 24 month warranty and has lasted until now. That's very good considering the hot Florida weather! I'd noticed that when turning the key to start the car, it's been taking a while longer; I figured it's time to replace this battery.

This morning I drove to store #1252 and was immediately greeted by Ino who asked how he could help me. I said that I needed a battery for my car. ' I laughed. Good way to engage with the customer.

But then came the disappointment. Ino asked me for the make/model/year of my car. ' I did not ask for nor did I merit such a…

To whom it may concern: I currently live in Baltimore Maryland and recently traveled to Bridgeport Connecticut for a funeral and a wedding. As I was driving to Connecticut, my alternator stopped working. 00. This delayed my trip causing me to miss most of the two important events I traveled to attend.

On my way to the wedding, the battery light came on in my car but I did make it to the wedding. After the wedding, I had someone take me to the Auto Zone in Stratford Connecticut located at 1425 Barnum Avenue, Stratford, CT to see if it was the battery. We replaced…

At Tiffin Auto Mart we buy a lot of parts from you and the 2 other parts stores in our town. We sell about 40 used cars a month and that requires many parts. Today I ordered 3 gallons or Shell Rotella oil. 99 a gallon.

I figured our cost would be less so I ordered them this morning. 99 a gallon. He didn't seem to care or appreciate our business. How many other parts are we being overcharged for? Do we need to call every time to make sure our price is lower than retail?

I told my shop manager to stop buying from Auto Zone until we find out why and how much we are getting ripped off. We are on NAPA's best prices because of our volume. Please find out why we are paying over retail and have your "manager" check our account to make sure we are getting your best prices.

My husband pre ordered a radiator on Saturday; paid the money to have them ship it from Columbia, SC to Sumter, SC by the next day. He went to the store to pick it up and the order wasn't even put in for them to send it to Sumter. They then gave him one they had at the Sumter, SC store; come to find out after taking it home and trying to put it in; its the WRONG ONE. Went back to the store AGAIN, and they switched it out for another radiator and CHARGED him $27.00 . I just think its ridiculous and I would like for someone to contact me as soon as possible. My name is ANNE ADAMS.

What can I say, I get ignored in your pyramid highway store and then no one answers the phone when I try to call. This pattern has repeated itself numerous times and has made me a customer of your competitors who at least acknowledge my existence as a human being.

I really don’t care for the internet as you cannot really see the product or have the interaction you get with a brick and mortar business. I really believe in buying local, but your store is changing my shopping habits more toward Amazon or Rock Auto.

I feel horrible complaining about something this trivial, but I used my gas and my time to shop at your Sparks Nevada store ,and by golly I want to be approached by someone thanking me for visiting your business. Old tactics just don’t work anymore. Regards Kevin O

Store manager Irene Hernandez at store #5623, literally while trying to ask a question told me ( she didn't have time for this and that she had other things to do) end quote, as a customer and as a manager myself, that is never acceptable even if you don't know the answer, while walking away from a customer who was not rude or impolite at any time.

The questions was in regards to tax exemptions in which my status is,and trying to apply or receive the information to apply for tax exemption through autozone, which she was not capable of handling, that was ok that she didn't know how, but how she handled it was very unperfessional at any standards.

And basically trying to force a tax exempt American Nation Native to pay taxes is against the Law! This must be remedied, CEO,CFO thank you!

So the Auto Zone on Southern Blvd. in Rio Rancho NM , right across the street from O’ Reilly’s , well there is a old man named Craig, he is a rude , grumpy, un-friendly person. This is not the first time this has happened.

The most recent bad experience with him was today 6/14/2019. This guy has no business whatsoever dealing with the public. He was such an ass today that my son who I sent in to get parts ended walking out and taking our business across the street to O’ Reilly’s.

Corporate needs to look into his poor attitude. Because of him we will not be using this Auto Zone again. He has a rotten attitude and he is very condescending towards customers. If this was a one time incident it could have been overlooked but this is a day to day practice of his.

On June 12 I purchased a clutch set for a 1997 Plymouth Neon at the Elizabethton TN store. The description shows the flywheel and alignment tool was included, but there was no flywheel or alignment tool in the package. Store employees argued the pressure plate assembly was the flywheel.

Is autozone going to supply the missing parts? The employees need better training to be more knowledgeable on the parts they sell. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or brain surgeon to know what a flywheel looks like. My number is 423-534-6436.

Please advise me on how this matter is going to be taken care of. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

I purchased a Duralast Gold battery (prorated) 11/10/2018. The battery had to be charged and jumped, then my keys were released. I went straight to Auto Zone to get it checked out. The technician/clerk burnt his fingers it was so hot on the positive post of the battery, trying to get a reading on his diagnostic tool.

The manager took his place because the store was packed and he swapped the battery and did a diagnostic scan and said my alternator was bad and that's what was causing the drain on the battery, and that the new battery he just installed would not last long to get the alternator checked out,he said his tool reading was showing a bad/dead alternator.
