autozone

yeah i bought a clutch from them, and 3 months later, my pedal went straight to the floor, no pressure.
300 labor to do it all over again.
I went back tried to return it...and they said they wanted to gimme another one. I said "Mofo you think i'ma take another chance and pay 300 MORE dollars when this one eff's up. Boy please... gimme my money back. "
- he then inspected the clutch visually, whatever that was supposed to tell him.
- Got my $ back and went to honda for a nice oem clutch.
- Eff autozone and their 5 month alternators and starters.

you know come to think about it i'm having problems with my cv's now and it hasn't even been a year and i already have replaced the passenger side twice and going to have to replace the drivers side soon and i just replaced them BRAND NEW! And of course I bought them both from Autozone (Lifetime Limited Waranties Suck!)

Sometimes its worth getting ripped off by honda for some parts...

Anything major like that, id definatly go to honda (or a TRUE honda parts dealer) and get them, ive had so many problems with checkers/autozone. Like today, i paid $40 for a Main Relay that looks NOTHING like what ours is, ive yet to put it in, but ill find out tomorrow.

I can say one thing about Autozone, keep your receipts. Their computer doesn't keep your information like it should. If I didn't have my receipt on a few things, could have lost my warranty. Example-battery.

I keep all my receipts on my purchases on their store along with any autoparts store I have parts with warranties on.

photocopy your receipts,they print them on disappering ink

just go to a napa store. their parts are just as good as honda parts and they cost less than the dealership, but about twice what autozone does...

i have bought many parts from autozone, never had a problem. i have never had to return any parts. however... we got 2 autozones in chico, and i will only go to one of them. the quality of service just depends on what kinda employees that particular store has. in one store we have older guys working who actually know a little about cars and are friendly. the other store we have younger guys who don't know anything and are often rude.

ok check this. i dunno exactly when, i think it was a little over a year ago i bought some Silvania Silver star headlight bulbs. spent the about $45 on em. so after finding out that they shined dimmer than the GE bulbs i bought at Wal-mart, i wanted to return them cuz i felt i had paid too much for something not worth a shit, IMO. they wouldnt let me return them. so i asked my grandma who i live with to try returning them for me. so we go up there a few days later and she goes in. so they see a sweet old lady and let her return them! granted they did give her some shit, but she sweet talked em, lol. i dunno, that's my Autozone story. and yeah, i dont buy a lot of stuff from there. mainly paint and car care products, that's about it. dont every buy their brake brand Albany, those were the worst brake pads i've ever used! fade like hell and wore out fast. i should have used the warrenty on em, but i couldnt find the receipt. that's why i like O'reilly auto parts, they know me by name. pretty much because i go in there for just about everything all the time.

oh i forgot, about the receipts. they are like done with disappearing ink. i left some of mine in the garage and the sun erased the ink! so i keep em in a drawer in a zip lock bag.

whats funny is this is an old thread and they still suck! they can't get most of my suspension parts i can go to the autozone like 45 miles away and get them but not here at this store. figure that out? everyone waited for months for this store to open and when it did they sucked. the other store 45 miles away is a good store,but this one is like a dumping ground for their worst employees. why can they get a brand at one store but not at another??!!

sorry for resurecting such an old thread.... it's just an interesting topic to discuss though.... won't happen again.... I hope....

at least it gave everyone a chance to vent at autozone again,you think they would have tried to improve by now, but in the words of pee wee herman
NOT!

you know, i was just thinking. half the time i go to autozone and ask them something i know more about the shit than they do! like they didnt believe me that my '76 datsun was FI. when they looked it up they were all, oh ok. yeah. just about everything i've bought from them gets returned, meaning major parts i've got from em. to think, i was thinking about getting a job there. i'd get discounts, but on crap parts. i'm going to call those dumb assess up there and ask them if they can find spark plugs for my '89 jetta diesel, then i'll make my decision on how stupid they are. lol.

HAHAHA! i'm kinda ashamed to admit it, but i worked at autozone for a week before i quit. those jackasses at the counter don't know anything about cars. they kept everybody (me, for instance) who knew the difference between gas and diesel engines back in the stockroom.

autozone-less parts in fewer places. oh the how to clinics, if i want to watch a how to on a tv screen i'll watch speed channel and trucks or something not go into a store with a bunch of dumbasses and stare at a screen. this---------is----------your----------air---------filter. ohhhhhhh
. :sad2: do you have any more of those diesel spark plugs? :lol: i could sell them on ebay,someone would buy them. oh yea i need a diesel dis. too. you do have to admit they've got rice though. any kind of ricy crap you could ever want. :rice:

iv never really had a prob wit autozone. but i do know that the people working in these kinda stores does make a diffrence. i went 2 knecht's off 11th and they told me it would take 4 months 2 get my short shifter. so i went 2 the 1 off of hwy 99 and they said it would b in next day. think bout it.
