Didn’t know they hired unprofessionals that lack common courtesy. Went in to grab a couple of items and looked all over for an oil drain plug gasket for my fiancé vehicle. After looking around I asked the worker if they have it and with a disservice response all I get was, “look harder on aisle 6.” Sure enough it wasn’t there. I didn’t even get what I came looking for.

It s the worst AutoZone in all the areas, turns out it never has any thing, what s the point of an auto parts store if you go three times for different items and you ll never get any of them because this store it s ever out of stock?, THATS WHY I PREFER O REILLY, however, staff is friendly but store pisses off

Got great service on the phone and in person from Bernardo V.! He helped me find and install both the battery and the front wipers for my 2005 Acura TSX and was very transparent about the pricing and options (and even told me a handy tip about the wipers; apparently there is a little clip the dealership puts on just to make sure you go back to them to replace them there!) Would go back to this location in a heartbeat.

Horrible service. I called the store and was asked if I could hold and I said yes. If I would have known that it was going to be for over 20 minutes I would have said I just have a quick question . I decided to drive to the store and I was still on hold. One associate was helping a customer while the other 2 workers were talking with each other and ignoring the phones and other customers. I don t know how this store is still in service.

Great experience. Perla on the line was understanding and got us what we needed in quick time. Dead battery first thing in the morning starting the car and they had a mechanic (Christian) at our house in 15 minutes with a brand new battery + 3yr warranty and no installation fee. No fuss and was on the road within 30 minutes of calling them. We ordered the wrong battery originally and Christian drove back to the shop, got the correct one and came back all in one trip. Great service and know their stuff. Only thing they asked was to leave a review!

I called them to enquire availability of the part. I was told by an agent that they did not carry the oart. I told them that I found the part on their web site and would like to give you the part number so you can check in your computer system. He didnt say anything, just transfered me to another person who asked me: what do you need man? I told them what part I was looking for. He said I had no idea what I was talking about. His language soon changed and became more like a street language, rude, and threatening. I had no chance to reply. He hung up the phone. Unbelievable.

Guaranteed you will drive right past this place especially at night. The AutoZone sign has its lights turned off even at night. You have to go down a dark narrow unmarked driveway to get to the parking lot in back. After that its just like any other AutoZone in the world. So when your nav system says turn right she means right now. Its not a street. The photos the back of the store.

Disappointing experience at this store! I was looking for a specific model of tire snow chain and the autozone website indicated that it s on stock at this store. To be extra sure before my long drive, I called up the store and the staff confirmed the availability (mentioned that they have seven in stock). Upon reaching the store, I was surprised to hear that the information was wrong (both the online availability and the confirmation on phone). Surprisingly, the autozone website was still showing availability. I understand that online nos could be wrong at times but could not really understand why the staff would also give incorrect information.

The store was pretty empty when I came in for a couple items. No line for register, but as I headed for checkout i was in line for what seemed like 20 min while the two employees helped customers look up parts. The check out line was getting longer or maybe it was the help line for looking up parts in the store. I think they should have two lines one for customers ready to pay and one for parts lookups. That should help with keeping customers in the building longer than they have to be because that location is really not that big. The employees working were fine, its the method of operation that should be looked at to help get patrons out the store in a timely manner. Just my opinion.
