My smart key needed a battery replaced and the staff member stated that he might break it. After…read moretaking it apart, not removing the small screw that I'd asked about, he indicated that he didn't have the battery. He claimed that the small screw was for holding the motherboard and didn't need removal. He had the keys to my home and handed me back the single key. When I asked about my keys, he took a couple minutes to locate them. Didn't appreciate his sense of humor, nothing funny about getting locked outside in the cold weather. I purchased a battery from Walgreens that didn't appear to work. I noted the polarity when removing the battery. Next day I went to Honda. Honda informed me that the battery had been installed incorrectly. They indicted that the screw should have been removed rather than stripped. Well he did warn me that he might break it. Wish he would have mentioned putting the battery back in the wrong way.

Also missed the smell of the tires rubber and gasoline I experienced at other stores.

The guys at the register are always slow to respond and ultimately indignant if they have to help me find an item or even answer a question. But this last time was a new low. Once again it took about 5 minutes just to get their attention in order to ring me up, but this time, there was about seven or eight "friends" of the two guys working there. Literally like eight guys all standing behind the register counter staring at the customer. Honestly, it felt and looked more like a gang then anything else. And of course, all of them staring at me while I bring my items to the counter for purchase. So sorry to interrupt! I'm just the dumbass customer that's doing the shopping, and not a part of the gang-related activities behind the counter! Well done AutoZone!

When I didn't get the confirmation email that they were ready to pick up, like I usually do when I order something from them online, I stopped by the store to find out why. It all ended up okay, because they refunded me the cost and sold me a different pair, but I'd expected it to be a quick trip, and it instead turned into more of a project. On the other hand, Adam, who installed the one headlight for me, was great -- excellent customer service on his part. The guy who was supposed to call me and didn't (and admitted it while I stood there)? Not so much. Fortunately, because I've purchased from them several times, I know this isn't the norm. It's just a shame that it happened.

Big, quintessential Chicagoans with a south side accent and heartfelt knowledge. Between all of them, they might know the entire history of the automotive world. Can't imagine they'll know it for long though, given the intense smell of paint throughout the store! :) I went there to pick up a pint of touch up paint for a vintage car. I walked out with way more knowledge about how to apply it than I asked for. They really seem to care almost to a fault: I was gonna hear what they had to say whether or not I wanted to hear it. But that's OK. My guess is that 99% of the time their customers WANT to hear it and the other 1% probably NEEDS to hear it (like me).

Clowns I brought my truck to A Trendz for suspension work…read morewith a clear focus on safety and long-term reliability. I specifically discussed replacing key components such as leaf springs, shackles, and bushings, and also mentioned the possibility of a lift kit during the process. Unfortunately, all I got was a lift the work performed did not reflect what was discussed. The majority of the requested suspension components were not addressed. Existing bushings were left in place, and my passenger-side splash guard was removed and never reinstalled. Communication throughout the process was poor. I was never contacted to review the scope of work, confirm parts being used, or approve any changes. I had to repeatedly call for updates, and even then, the information provided was vague and inconsistent. At no point was there any transparency regarding what parts were installed or why certain items were not replaced. Additionally, tires were installed, yet the tire pressure warning light remains on, raising further concerns about the completeness of the service. Upon pickup, the final cost exceeded the original quote without prior discussion or approval. No walkthrough of the work was provided -- I was simply asked to pay and given the keys. Given that suspension work directly impacts vehicle safety, this level of service, communication, and execution is unacceptable. I cannot recommend A Trendz based on this experience.

I was told the DRL installation could be done, and at no point was I informed that the shop lacked experience with this type of work or was unsure of the proper installation process. After several hours, I was told the DRL kit was "not the correct fit." After contacting the manufacturer directly, it was confirmed that the kit is the correct and only compatible option for my vehicle and that the installation requires specialized headlight work. It became clear the shop did not know how to perform this installation, yet instead of communicating that professionally upfront, they attempted the job anyway. During the badge replacement, no photos were taken of the original OEM silver badges to ensure correct placement, spacing, or alignment before installing the aftermarket black badges. As a result, the black M60i badges were installed crooked and spaced too closely together, which is unacceptable from a professional shop. Additionally, because the front bumper was removed during the attempted DRL installation, I later noticed a paint chip on the driver-side front bumper panel near the headlight seam. This damage was not present prior to my visit. If a shop is not experienced with specialized installations, the professional course of action is to clearly communicate that and decline the job--not to proceed without proper knowledge or preparation. Between the lack of transparency, poor execution, and resulting damage, this experience fell well below an acceptable standard of professionalism.

I go back to the store to be compensated and Greg tells me it wasn't their fault, why should he trust the mechanic (idk maybe bc he actually fixed my car), the mechanic is just angry I didn't go to him to replace the battery (mechanic is super honest and I've been going to him for years), his "Zoners" are all experts and would never mess up, (the kid who did it is off from college for the summer and has been working there for a couple months lol).
