Reason why I dont go to autozone anymore

[El Capitan]

I wouldnt trust autozone on two reasons

1) I called autozone and asked if they had a radiator for a 1972 VW Beetle and this is what they said and i quote "No we do not have it in stock, but we can order it." hopefully everybody knows except this autozone that VW beetles are famous for being air-cooled.

2) Friend called autozone for spark plugs for his 1986 C4 Corvette the woman on the other end asked "Who makes that?" He said "Chevrolet." then she asked "Is that a 4 or 6 cylinder?" he hung up the phone


any one else had any of these stupid responses from autozone?

With a bad economy, people are going to be working at stores (autozone) that they don't have expertise, just to put food on the table.

Give them a break and just do your research before you show up and that way you won't have any trouble

see what they say about getting plugs for a diesel. or pistons for a rx7. should be fun.

I dont go anywhere for anything without my part number in hand. I always research and make sure I am getting the right parts. You can't blame the people they hire but more the company. Funny thing is back in the day I would apply like every couple of months. I went to 2 interviews and was never hired. And I know everything there is to know really lol. I would end up seeing a girl who didnt know anything get hired. that was crazy

not everyone is going to know everything about that specific car man, you gotta take it easy on em.... what size motor did a 1984 delorean have???



they never made a 84 delorean. its just something that ppl wont know about. Not everyone is going to be smart on that shit.

There's no such thing as an '83 Vette either.

So why go off on somebody who doesnt know everything about cars? im sure theres alot of shit you guys dont know about cars either.

I didn't know beetles had no radiator =X

Also yeah, the guys who work at autozone are not ASE mechanics. They are just cashiers who look up stuff on the computer system and tell if they have it and where it is, and if not then how long it will take to order it for you.

yup.. No need to mess with them. Just trying to make a living.
