Never did I anticipate that I would be leaving a 1 star review. When i spoke to this Autozone on Friday I was so impressed by the young man I dealt with that i chose to buy my new battery from Autozone even though their quoted price was $30 higher than Pepboys. He was polite, smart, and thorough. He spent time trying to identify the correct bracket I needed whereas other stores I spoke with just mumbled that they had "universal" brackets and "something would work."
I ended up having a busier weekend than I anticipated but I spoke to this Autozone three times today to confirm how late they'd be open, that there was an employee who could change my battery, and even reminded them to pull the bracket that they'd ordered for me.
So wasn't I shocked when the employee just popped my hood, spent about 20 seconds looking at it, and then walked to my window to tell me that my battery is under the air filter and they don't change batteries if other items have to be moved. Not once in the 6 times, with three different employees, over 3 days, did anyone say that the "might" not be able to change my battery. Not once. The employee tonight told me to go to Pepboys!!! Pepboys - who I spoke to on Friday, who had a cheaper battery, but I ruled out because I was more impressed by the Autozone employee I spoke to that day. Unbelievable.
Now I'm in a terrible spot. My car will not start without a jump and i have no one to help me jump it tomorrow. So I ended up spending $80 for a portable jump starter so that I can start my car tomorrow. $80 to Autozone so that I can go to Pepboys tomorrow for a new battery. Unbelievable. read more
