Carlos from Auto Zone on Hillsdale was extremely helpful! This was the second time me and my boyfriend bring his car to this location and Carlos has helped us both times! Definitely coming back to this location because Carlos is always very attentive and gives amazing customer service. 10/10 experience

Outstanding, excellent customer service. I am so impressed at how welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable Edgar and the employees were here. I had a terrible experience at the San Tomas location and despite not being responsible for the other store at all, he apologized for my bad experience and helped me out, even replacing a broken part purchased at the other AutoZone. I was so impressed how thoughtful and considerate he was. And it reinforced how I am typically very happy with the AutoZone experience. Despite this location being further away, I will come back to this store for any future needs. Thanks to this store for being so great and for fully representing the values and ethics of AutoZone. You guys take customer service to the highest level and it’s very appreciated.

CARLOS The manager is a kind soul and Extremely informative ! I went there To return something after my mother has recently passed that she bought. He had to do some extra work cuz her card expired. He was able to return the item and we had a brief talk about life And his experience’s he told me most of all to stay positive. Never thought I would walk out of an auto store feeling revived and with the right mind set for my day ?! Cashiers these days are especially robotic especially with returns. We need more people like Carlos! 🙏

I tried to turn in a used can of air conditioning refrigerant but I was told they never sold this brand. I am positive I bought it about a year ago but the person in charge told me I must have bought it from a different auto parts store. I have been going exclusively to AutoZone for many years so I am confused why I was treated this way. I finally found the date of the transaction but decided not to go back because what would be the point. It was only a $10.00 core deposit and why go through the aggravation.

The manager at this location seems to know parts and cares. Wish they had parts in stock. Twice now Ive left without the parts I need. Today I realized, after I left, they called two locations to find what I need and only gave me the details on one. What a waste of time.

I usually go to this place and I have always been well served, but today the person who served me at the checkout gave me the impression that as soon as he realized that I was Latino and did not speak English well, he proceeded to look and review and review and check the 20 dollar bill with which I was paying, and I am a person who is always impeccably dressed, I reserve the name of the person because everyone has the right to their privacy.

Its cliche, I know, but Id give these guys negative stars if I could. Do not believe anything that you see on their website as far as what they have in stock!!! Placed an online order, all of which was shown as being in stock at the Hillsdale store. Stopped by to pick up my order, only to find that NONE of the items were in stock. Was promised that everything would be there next day... and you guessed it, the next day I received a call saying that at least two of the items were not available. All the while, the items STILL showed as being in stock at the store!! Their corporate-level customer service is equally poor. Dont even bother; just go somewhere else.

Went there to purchase an oil filter. While there, found the engine oil I was looking for, but was about $9 more than Walmart. Figured, just for convenience, that they would be able to price match it for me, so I don t have to make another stop at Walmart. However, when I went to pay, the manager there said that AutoZone s price match policy means to match the competitive price plus any shipping and delivery charges by the competitor. I tried to explain that this is not how price match works, since I could just pretty much go to the Walmart a few minutes away and get it at the lower price, but that didn t seem to make sense to him. In fact, he wasn t just being rude, but seemed to have zero experience on how to speak with a customer, and kept saying that he knows better than I do. Sure, why not. I hope he also knows that nobody needs this kind of poor treatment, and if you don t wish to earn my business, I ll go somewhere else that would be happy to, which is what I ended up doing. Really terrible customer service. Wouldn t want to step in that place again.

I was trying to buy car batter for my Honda CRV. I went there late Saturday afternoon, Feb 27th 5:05 pm, waited 5 mins to have one guy coming to help, ask him whether I can buy car battery and have him replace it, got told it was too late for the day, and then I ask him whether I can come in next day, he told me try not cause it will be too busy. Seems to me he just dont want my business. Really disappointed with the attitude.
