My experience today was great. I went to the location on Western Ave and they did not have my wiper blade in stock. The gentleman there was very helpful, looked in the back, and called Central Ave to see if it was in stock. I went to Central Ave and Jake knew what I was there for, pulled the blade from stock, rang me up, and offered to install the blade for me. He came out to my car and put the blade on. I offered him a tip and he refused. I don’t normally leave reviews but, I was so blown away with the level of service. Thanks AutoZone and thanks Jake at the Central Ave. store.

I hate giving negative reviews but the incompetency here is astounding. I truly encourage anyone reading this to use any other auto parts store on Central Ave. There are several options. Needed a driver side mirror for my car. They didn’t have it in stock, no problem they were going to order for me. They gave me a stick on temporary mirror in the mean time which was helpful so I give 2 stars for that. I paid for expedited shipping for it to still come in late. (I realize this is not entirely their fault). But they ordered the wrong side mirror after multiple conversations about which one I needed. This happens. It was frustrating but it’s fine. When I called to request an exchange and ask them to order the correct mirror, the man on the phone was clearly annoyed with me for whatever reason. He said it would come in in one week. One week later, still no call. I called them on day 8 and they informed me that they gave the mirror to someone else and installed it for them… my name was on the order. There are an abundance of car part stores on central in colonie so I encourage anyone reading this to go literally anywhere else other than AutoZone :)

On Jan. 6th, traitorous insurrectionists stormed the capitol building where one person was shot and killed. The president told those people that he loved them and that they were special. What does this have to do with Auto Zone? This location has had a truck parked in their lot all day that predominantly displays for all to see Trump flags and a large sign that reads Stop the Steal. This truck is deliberately parked so that it can be seen by people driving by. This person is proud of the events that happened yesterday. This person is either an employee at this location or they are parked there with the blessing of management because the windshield is blocked and it has been there for many hours. People can believe whatever they want but I can also decide to no longer support a place of business that puts beliefs like this on display for all to see.

Be careful when swapping broken NEW purchased parts, especially when there is a core part on hold in the process. I explained the issue and what happened, few times. The front guy didn t care about any of it because the way it got registered in their system. It was too confusing for him. I couldn t process the core refund when I have proof for everything processed.

Check engine light was on, so I stopped in and they plugged in their code reader so they could tell me what was wrong (this is a free service) and luckily it was just one easily fixable code. The employee was so pleasant and helpful with any questions I had about the o2 sensor. They also did not push me to buy the part from them which I highly appreciate.

They have many auto part items for cars and engines that you cant find at other auto parts stores, which I like. However, when I went here once they did not have the part for a bike that I was looking for, so I had to go to Napa instead. I like that Advance auto parts also puts the windshield wipers on your car for free when you buy them.
