[@adamfrancois1575]

Those other five employees aren't actually avoiding you they don't have counter privileges and it's just as awkward for them that they have to keep walking around doing their job while the customers stare at them like why aren't you helping me.... because I literally cannot access those computers that's why! Lol

[@gamerdan2310]

Every AutoZone in my experience is always an AutoWait. Too few employees + almost always two or three people ahead of me in line equals too long of a wait. And who knows how long they've been waiting! I avoid AutoZone if at all possible here in the Rio Grande Valley.

[@UnyieldingSeraph]

Just the opposite here. You can't get 3 feet into the oreily's, advanxe or napa here without employees asking if you need help. They're almost too aggressive in their offering to help, some people like to just look, and with some of the employees they hire the customer probably knows more than they do

Have been going to O'Reilly for a long time. Went to one years ago looking for parts for my riding mower. They didn't have all of them. But the manager got out the phone book (before cell phones) and wrote down the info for a mower place in the next town. That customer service impressed me.

[@kokolovitch56]

Last month an employee at an Auto Zone was so sorry, he kept walking around the store while I was waiting to pay for something. Then he came behind the counter, went to a register next to me, looked right past me and called for the man waiting behind me. What an AH. Just went to an O’Reilly recently and bought something, and they were friendly and extremely helpful. I’ll drive extra to go to an O’Reilly from now on.

[@lewis2553]

Yep, I've had that happen. I've had to wait because they got a phone call, but been put on hold when I called them. Now that we have cellphones, I think I'll start calling them from the line (and getting other customers to do so) whenever they take a phone call - just to tell them they have customers waiting.😂😂

[@lewis2553]

I also have a nickname for them when they do things like that. It's Putozone or Putazone. I'll give you a hint: the first half of the word is in Spanish.

[@JohnDoe-ld8nr]

It's been a year since you posted this comment. Have you figured out yet that you are the Karen in the wrong in this situation? I don't have faith in you so I'll explain it. All autozones are built the same. They all have that same area surrounded by those waist high racks with impulse purchases on them in front of the registers. This area is where a "line" should form. This "line" consists of people waiting to be helped. This is what normal people realize especially when there's a sign indicating that's what you're supposed to do. So when YOU waltz up to a random register before you're called any workers assigned to another register are going to naturally assume that you're already being helped by another worker or else you wouldn't be at the register because no one would have called you up. So that worker you speak of saw the first person waiting in line and called the first person in line. Autozone is a yearly billion dollar business, you're not. It's a well oiled machine in how it works, you're not. So next time don't randomly go storming up to a register and expecting them to read your mind that you hadn't been helped yet when you're the one out of line.

[@BenJehovah6969]

Mechanics are in garages working on cars, not behind the register looking up locations of parts in the back of autozone or anywhere else. if you're working on your own car its up to you to know the right parts to get. Some things you can skimp on and buy cheap, some you cant. Starters arent one of those things no matter where you buy them. They dont have mechanics rebuilding them in those wherehouses, they have cheap labor swapping out the parts. Either rebuild them yourself with quality parts, or find a mechanic in your town that has a stator motor repair shop.

I can tell you, it is hit or miss these days regardless of where parts come from. I have owned a repair business for over 14 years. i spend over 50K a year in parts and source them from just about everywhere. Alot of the parts stores source parts from the same warehouses. I have failures with all of them lately. I buy probably 5 figures from Rock Auto a year and had a few of the Remy Reman alternators fail. They don't make the parts either so it is still hit or miss. If you don't own a business, you are only buying a few starters or alternators in a lifetime. I buy them almost every week so the odds of a failure go way higher. The best I have found are Brand new TYCs, Rebuilt Denso or Bosch starters and alternators. No failures on those in over a decade. They rebuild their own here in the US to OE specs and not rebuilt in Mexico like most. Even the new ones in most parts stores are built in Mexico.

[@Trainwheel_Time]

@@marcsmith3881That may very well be. However, the price difference can be huge. For example , I just replaced shocks, shock mounts, rear wheel bearings and rear stabilizer bar links on my mazda. Total price of parts from Rock Auto? 157 bucks. Same parts from autozone or advance? 320 bucks. The parts from rock are Monroe shocks, moog mounts, mevotech stabilizers and Timkin bearing and hub assembly's. All with warrantys and so on. The parts from zone and advance were whatever the cheapest they quoted... some of which I'd never heard of before and would have had to wait a week for them to come in. My days of buying at autozone and such are over. Even with 25 bucks shipping I was still way ahead and with better quality parts. As for alternators and such? I could probably get a rental car and wait for rock to ship me an alternator and still not spend as much as autozone charges. Discount parts my butt.

It is called a Dot Matrix printer. The only other place I see them anymore is in banks. As antiquated as they are I love the sound they make.

[@stinkycheese804]

It beats the thermal register printers that autozone uses, because those thermal receipts fade away to literally completely blank white after a number of years, even if stored away from sun. You have a lifetime warranty but better remember your phone # and be in their system, but also, "some" things they used to sell with a lifetime warranty, no longer have one, so your receipt is your only proof it had the lifetime warranty when you bought it. This is why I always make a scanned digital copy of receipts, which is not only for warranty purposes but if I were to sell a vehicle and my maintenance records are full of blank receipts, I can give the new owner the digital copies.

[@CommodoreFan64]

I'm a long time computer tech, and I can say for a basic printer the dot matrix printers work, and they are cheap to run compared to an Ink Jet, or even a lot of Laser printer, and most important they can handle the special paper where you get the top white copy, and they keep the pink and/or yellow copy for their records, and as others have said they last longer then a thermal receipt. you can still buy Okidata Dot Matrix printers all day long, and the tech is much much older then 1981. I use to work for a tractor dealer in the early 00's and yes we used Dot Matrix printers back then as well. also if you are getting jams in something like an Okidata dot matrix printer, you need to check your ribbon, and the print head might need cleaning.

Bottom Line: The best auto parts supply store is the one you have the best experiences at. For me, it was Murray's Discount Auto Parts (a CSK Auto subsidiary) which has since been purchased by O'Reilly's. The store may look somewhat different in terms of color, but the people behind the counter are still the same. As such, I haven't had any issues. So, it all depends. Just like whether you think Chrysler builds good cars or not. My experience says YES they do, but others say No they don't. It's all about your experience. As they say...

Open it up and you could see that it was just been cleaned on outside. I am retired now and Autozone is the last resort and always stick to other than their private brand. NAPA is higher but quality is much better. Also Advance is better too. Hired a former Autozone manager and he said that their Autozone store would send back 8 totes a week of defecting products.

Either some A-hole called the city, or code enforcement just happened to be driving by, but they were all up my rear end within an hour or so. They rattled off codes that it's illegal to work on vehicles in a residential area, blah, blah, blah and told me I needed to stop right now and I wouldn't be cited. I asked them how much the ticket would be. Well, the price of the fine was cheaper than the cost of having a tow truck take the truck to a shop and the cost of a mechanic, so I laughed and picked the wrench back up. I was cited, fixed my vehicle, went to court and the judge threw the ticket out. Some people are just ridiculous.

Well soon after the "new" distributer crapped out. Upon replacing that one the timing issue went away. The distributor was bad out of the box! A year later the second one goes out so I replaced that one. About a year after that the 3rd one went out! When I took it back to replace it for the lifetime warranty, the guys at the O'Reilly gave me hell. "Why are you having to replace the distributor every year or so?" I said because they keep going out! They're not rebuilt properly. "Well if this happens again we'll need proof the distributor is defective. " okay, next time it craps out I'll have you come tow me.

I went back the next day and there they were at the counter waiting on me. I've not been back to an Autozone since. I always go to Oreilly's.

If its between Autozone and O'Reilly's I would have to go with NAPA

[@DayRider76]

I used to think that to? Don't think because it say's Napa on the box you're getting a better part. Chances are you just over paid for the same Chinese crap!

[@samuelgilbert8570]

I dont usually buy NAPA. I buy Ford motor craft parts but NAPA is in the nearest me and I seem to have better luck with them. They are also the only ones that can get ford parts without a struggle. I dont think any of them provide better than Chinese crap

@@DayRider76 You are actually getting better quality, believe me.

@@ElLeonidas2009 I've been certified since 95 with 30 years actual mechanic experience! I say shop around, know what your looking for. I heard that for years, " just go to napa"? In my experience, napa will bite you just as much as anyone.

Scott, just saw a commercial during this video. It was O'Reilly's.

[@nmtay]

I think Napa Auto Parts is the best place to go for parts. Had a bad experience with a rebuilt alternator that was advertised as "new" at O'reilly's, I was young so I didn't know any better, but it only lasted about 3 months and I never went back. And, I only go to Autozone for things I can't normally find at a place like Walmart, like motorcycle oil and Techron. I would never buy parts there.

[@samanthatrost8347]

Thats because rebuilt is basically new. The inside is completely new, hardware is completely new, the only recycled part is the metal casing.

I feel ya about O'Reilly. I went in one a long time ago when I had my truck and needed light bulb for it. Think it was a headlight bulb. Anyway. I went and found the bulb, went to check out at the register and no associate would help me. It wasn't that busy. No one asked if I needed help or said they would be with me in a minute. I saw employees coming in and out of the stock room and they looked at me standing there and NOTHING! So I just put my light on the counter and walked out. NEVER again will I shop at ANY of their stores. I know that there might be some that are good but, I love AUTO ZONE. Always had a good experience with them and they've always been friendly. Oh! The light that I was gonna purchase from O'Reilly, I went and got at AUTO ZONE. When I checked out, I told the guy checking me out that he was friendly and that they've always been nice so I'm gonna by a hat from them. I did! I bought an AUTO ZONE hat.

I had to ride my bike to Chief Auto Parts as a kid to buy parts for my dad to fix our cars. I miss that place.

[@jamessatterfield7667]

@Randomizzer, I remember going to the Chief’s Auto Parts in Upland,Ca in the 70’s and 80’s to get parts for my ‘71 Pinto and later my ‘84 Nissan mini truck. The staff knew their stuff and the parts, new and rebuilt, were top notch and affordable. Amazing that they were owned by Southland Corp., who also owned the 7/11 convenience stores.
