Auto Zone's lifetime warranty is only valid until they lose your invoice. I went to my mechanic for new brakes in 2013. He purchased brake pads with a lifetime warranty. When it came time to replace the pads, my mechanic called to get replacement pads but they couldn't find the invoice. My mechanic went through his files and found his copy of the invoice, made a copy and took the copy to Auto Zone before they would honor their lifetime warranty. Fast forward to today, 03/24/2020. My mechanic calls AutoZone for replacement pads. They tell him that their records show that he bought the pads and immediately returned them. How could he have immediately returned them if he just took them off of my car and the pads were sitting on his office desk? Auto Zone refused to honor their lifetime warranty.
In 2016, I went to Auto Zone to have a headlight replaced. I pod for the headlight and when we went out to replace it, they had issues with the fit. They went back in to get the correct headlight and said everything was fine. A few days later I noticed that the headlight was not working. I went back to Auto Zone to get it fixed. They had never replaced the faulty headlight but left the bad headlight in. I stopped using Auto Zone then. They are a bunch of rip-offs. You should stop using Auto Zone before they rip you off too. read more
