It was on company property, with company property. So, double jeopardy, we're fine.

I wont ever go in an autozone to get parts unless its the last place that I can go. Ive delt with some stupid people in there. I was an ase certified tech at honda, and the lady was telling me that wasnt what was wrong with my car and wouldnt sell me the part I wanted. I yelled at her in the middle of the store in front of everyone. She was also the manager.

I went to another parts store and got the part I needed to fix my car. Never again will I deal with vatozone.

- Fri Sep 18, 2009 2:24 am #144666 Yeah, there are a bunch of idiots that work for AutoZone. I'm not one of them. My store is full of knowledgable mechanics and enthusiasts.

Honestly, the only thing I buy at AutoZone is oil, oil filters, wiper blades, sparkplugs, car wash stuff, K&N recharge kit, and other measly minor shit. I will not put anything on my car that is Duralast unless I just absolutetly NEED to have the part, Honda/Acura is closed or doesn't have the part, and I can't afford the OE part at the moment. If those three planets align, I will purchase a Duralast part.

AutoZone is a company that is simply all about the money. We are required to upsale and sell certain shit. If we don't, we get fired. Period. I only work there now because I need a job to pay for student loans until I can get a real job in aviation where I belong.
