I've used this AutoZone a couple of times, and have to say I've been impressed with the both the speed of service and helpfulness of the staff.
First visit was to diagnose a suspected misfire on my wife's car that caused the check engine light to come on, it had happened and it had been to the dealership too for it. This time I wanted to see the codes for myself before we took it in, and AutoZone will look-up the OBD-II codes (as they are called) for FREE. Do this anytime before you take your car to the dealership, if you do the research on what the codes are it can save you money since many times the light comes on its for some silly reason or a momentary sensor glitch. In this case there were multiple misfires over a fairly short period which is unusual, but the issue - nothing more than a bad gas cap seal, that's right folks, took 2 minutes to fix and reset it - and exact same code that the dealership indicated before and because of which they had changed ignition coils and other things that are part of the engines firing/ignition process. Reset the code myself, hasn't occurred again and that was several months ago.
(Disclaimer: If the light will not reset or keeps coming back on, it's probably a more serious fault, some can cause damage to your engine if not taken care of. If you are in any doubt on what a code means, go to your dealership - but I'd still make sure you know it first and research on-line, stops any BS if you do need to take it in to get it fixed).
Seconds visit was today, for nothing more than a couple 15A fuses for the internal power sockets in my car and a replacement for a burned out light bulb for my center tail light. Easy things anyone can fix even on modern vehicles. 5 minutes in the store to get the parts, about that long to switch them out and all good now!
I'm definitely a fan of, if I can do it myself I would rather. Saves a lot of time and money when you can!
Very friendly and helpful store and definitely a fan of AutoZone in general. read more
