You could always ask to see the ASE Certified Auto Zoner, it’s just me but when you where a dumbass kid, did you know everything there is to know about a subject?

Consider cars for a moment there are over a hundred manufactures and they make vastly different cars. There are only 3 battery manufactures in the united states. Z Net provides them with the information needed to suggest to the customer what they should buy. A lot of people see the price of the actual recommended battery and spaz out.

This is the deal well I work for autozone I’m a As. Manager I know how it must be frustrating to have dealt with this individual but you have to understand not all the autozones are going to be that way If any of my employees ever did that their hours and job pretty much you could say fire that is not acceptable I bet you step foot in my store down in Florida and that would not happen but you go down to Advance and or even the other autozone i dont work at and the people their pretty much suck but that all falls down under management not doing their jobs right bottom line is it does not matter where you go but compare brakes in autozone and advance and you will see the difference and autozone has better and more durable parts than advance does but please dont go in with any issues … leave problems at home

look man…i work for autozone i see all this crap everyday. my manager hires people that seem cool to him. he told me once that he needed to hire a girl and i picked the most capable one in our applications and she turned out to be the most laziest pretty girl in the world.
I always help my clients but then again i have been a car enthusiast. as for the asshole employee Fabio…well that guy should have been fired or at least gotten a write up. i totally understand that most autozone employees are jerks and they are super lazy but just remeber that theres always that one guy who is currently suspended from work because he helped a customer with her alternator on his lunch hour in a parking lot across the street.. me…lol…..well heres to autozone from an awesome employee… SCREW AUTOZONE!!!!

My husband and I regularly work on our own vehicles. We build and rebuild them as needed. As far as the car parts stores are concerned, I doubt it really matters which one you go to. They both suck. Autozone/Advanced I think have an unwritten policy that they are required to be within 1/4 mile of each other. This makes it easy for someone who is currently dissatisfied with only store to run across the street and pick up their parts from the competitors. We constantly are confronted with stopping in to pick up something that has to be installed in pairs, but the store only has one in stock. They can order it for you, but that will take time. The clerks typically know little about the parts and we are constantly arguing about the part. Heck you can even bring the old (OEM) part in and they still can’t match it right.

With the way they mutilate even finding the right part, I would never want them actually working on my truck. I would be scared they would wire the battery up wrong and have it explode.

I too have both an Advance and an Autozone across from each other. I hate going to Advance. The employees there are rude and can’t speak English. One thing I hate about both places are the whiney customers. I always seem to get stuck waiting behind some idiot who doesn’t know the year or engine size of his car. Worse are the morons who demand that store employees make other (paying) customers wait while they perform “Free” services for them. I don’t mind it it’s some old lady who needs her wiper blades put on for her but not if it’s some able bodied guy. Here’s a hint: if you don’t know how to put the parts on your car you have no business buying them!! At least Autozone and Advance offer the free services. When was the last time someone at NAPA or Carquest came out and tested your “Check Engine” light for you?

Just a note for the sake of fairness - I generally will only go to Autozone for my parts, even though an Advance Auto is just across the street from the Autozone that is nearest to me.

I’ve had great experiences with Autozone for the most part. They recently did not have the brakes I needed in stock, so I went to Advance. They also didn’t have them but were able to hold them at another (relatively close) store. I’ve had bad experiences at Advance more often than Autozone - they just happened to pull through that time for me. I think it’s more of a localized issue. You find a local store whose employees care, and you stick with it.

I have noticed recently that Auto Zone’s cs has gone down the tubes. I have exclusively used Auto Zone in the past but have found that like you that Advance Auto is much better at having the parts I need and their salespeople are very helpful.

Poor management or? I don’t have any affiliation with any auto parts stores/suppliers, just an everyday ordinary customer.
