Visited today (12/27/20)! Not impressed with lackluster service and borderline dismissive attitude of clerks and other Autozone gentleman who appeared to be a manager. Tsk tsk tsk!
I was not advised concerning use of the code scanner which was dropped into my hand almost rudely as the clerk gave me no instruction other than "Plug it in." I know the staff is not allowed to enter customer vehicles as per Covid-19 dictates, but those dictates do not mandate poor, irresponsible customer service nor do the current restrictions call for abandonment and disregard of patrons. The BRIGHT SPOT of my visit , and recipient of many KUDOS, is HERO 'Officer Zannie,' the security officer who lent me the light from his flashlight and google-searched to find the location in my ILX of the scanner input port. From his front door post, he described the location of the input port, and I was able to end 20 minutes of unsuccessfully searching for the port, a search during which I received not one bit of help from the members of the Auto Zone staff. On the contrary, one Autozone clerk had the nerve to walk to the store's front door and ask indignantly and aloud, "She didn't get the code YET??!" How rude, unprofessional, and irresponsible! Nonetheless, thanks to the courteous, professional, responsible 'ZANNIE," I completed an unfamiliar and difficult task. Good thing he actually cared, seeing me stretched upside down across my front seat, my head stuck under my dash and my mind in utter dismay! He came to my rescue for customer safety purposes and to help an abandoned damsel in distress! It is that type of qualitative and caring service that will help businesses maintain patronage during these times of economic downturn and crisis! Thank you, Officer and Gentleman Zannie! I hope AutoZone gives you due commendation and reward! I hope this store starts to value and appreciate customers! If not, more of us will be patronizing Salvo and other such auto parts businesses just as I plan to do the next time I need auto parts! Needless to say, when the negligent Autozone clerk pulled up the part that I needed to buy as per the code which showed on the scanner, I passed on buying and politely informed him that I would not be purchasing the part at that time. I should've added: "...nor in this store at any time". read more
