FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
like the title says, ---- AUTOZONE. DONT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE ----------ERS. i feel like using all of the busted ass parts that i get from there and cracking whoever orders their parts skulls open. they offer "lifetime warranties" on many of their parts. well... i have had to use the warranties MANY times. i have had to return my starter five times already because the solenoid on them keeps ------ going out. now its going out again. i have returned my distributor twice. the brake master cylinder i bought from them is going to ----... i get lots of brake pedal travel >:(. the rear brake drums i got are getting rusted as ---- after only a few months. now, for the third time, my alternator is going out. i was driving today and all of a sudden my voltage light on my gauge cluster kept coming on and off depending on how much gas i give it.

moral of this long story... unless you like replacing your parts CONSTANTLY at the most inconvenient times possible, go to somewhere else besides autozone for your parts. they are the cheapest for a reason. now i gotta find a ride to work, then, when i get off, i get to waste my time changing a ------ alternator AND starter again. >:( >:( >:(

I actually never had a problem with autozone. It sounds like you have bigger problems.

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You went there couse it was cheap right?Now that youve removed and replaced the starter five times dont you wish you would of paid a little more and gone to get a quality part frome the dealer.Yeah parts at the cost more but I have never had a problem with anny OEM dealer part.

It does sound like you have more problems than just A.Zs shitty products though.

I love there comercials that show all the riced out cars and the beaner lowriders with the air suspensions. You can't buy any of that stuff at Autozone so why are they advertising it like you can? One shot shows a truck with a blower under the hood, since when did Autozone sell superchargers? In my area they dont sell any aftemarket performance parts at all, a few chrome tips and open element air filters is all. And yes I have had problems with there rebuilt parts also.

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
most the parts i bought when i switched out the longblock in the accord were AutoZone. This included an alternator. I also had a 1000watt amp hooked up to it with 2 farad cap. at full output it would put a drain on the alternator, lights would dim like a bitch at full rpm....lol...The alternator is still chugging away, so i dont see why u have so many problems. Oh yeah most the parts u buy are remanufactured, so they are geniune honda parts that have been rebuilt

Todd 09-03-2003 09:56 AM

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think you can buy all that stuff there.. its not a normal stock item but they have catalogs there to order all kinds of stuff.

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i think you are having other problems with your car. after 5 starters go out? come on, you still think its the starter that are junk?

J-SMITH69 09-03-2003 05:03 PM

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
all those stores get their parts from the same place ROFL

its not like autozone manufactures their own starters and parts for ever single type of car!

maybe you keep puttin the ---- on their wrong. or you just have bad luck


are you buying rebuilt parts? maybe they do shotty jobs on them. brand new parts should be fine

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yeah my dad has had to replace 2 starters from autozone (lifetime warranty also) for his caravan... I stay away from cheap ass parts esp for imports (read:HONDAS) honda parts cost more but its not worth the headache in most instances.

the only parts autozone sells are rebuilt. even worse... right before i pull up to autozone, my alternator all of a sudden starts working fine again. i had the dude come out and test my car anyways though. it tested fine. he said come back when it starts acting up again. yes, i have very shitty luck.

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The AutoZone here sells ALL the ricer ----. They have everything. Seriously, they have all that ---- you see in the commercial except for the body kits, but I'm sure you can order those. ::) It's disgusting. Everytime I go in there I feel like they are trying to push me to buy rice, when I just want a gasket or something stupid. Pretty soo they will only sell rice. It takes up two HUGE isles right now. You would not believe. This explains why the fags/car clubs in this town don't know what a performance mod is.

Dude, no really. Since I put the Fast and The Furious brand LED lighted 27" tip on my clamp on muffler and added the same graphics kit everyone in town bought, I'm running a 10 second 1/4 mile. You know, I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time :-)

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
you have to paint your drums so they don't rust. they usually come coated with some ---- so they don't rust in storage but it will melt away. clean it off with CRC brakeleen and paint away. also, I think you might be having a problem with whatever grounds your engine to the body because the alternator and starter ground through the engine but that needs a solid electrical connection to the body and battery.

I don't know what you're talking about, my SiR sticker and 2f2f steering wheel cover are holding up great.


I dislike autozone because around here it is disorganized as ----, so I am trying to use car quest and napa.

Brett store #5098 (Poughkeepsie NY)

well first off... ---- you too. :o
second, i dont give a ---- if you sell the most parts, cuz the ones i get are ----. and because i have had a bad experience, i am sick and ------- tired of dealing with autozone bullshit. i am also sick and ------- tired of dealing with ------ autozone jerks like you who act like i am personally insulting them because i complain about bad parts. after like the third time replacing a bad starter, when i went to exchange it for another one, i asked the guy if he could test the starter BEFORE I WASTE MY TIME PUTTING IT ON. guess what? it tested ------- bad, right off of the shelf. am i still an ignorant ----? to his embarrassment he had to send me down the street to the next autozone for a replacement. also, i dont have any "ghetto hack job install jobs," i am not ------- stupid... i know how to replace a ------ starter/alternator/distributor/whatever simple little ----/etc. keep in mind that most of the parts i needed to replace, other than the starters, took long periods of time before they went out, like six months or sometimes more than a year usually - thus indicating i installed them correctly, but they just ------- went out. i personally know other people who have had to use their "lifetime warranty" for parts on their car. you say your car has all autozone ---- on it, and everything works fine, that is great for you. in your defense, my moms truck is full of autozone parts that i personally put on(cuz i am not an ignorant ----), and her car has absolutely no problems. look man, i am not here to try and start ---- with you, but try and understand for a minute how annoying my situation is. if you had a less than pleasurable experience somewhere, wouldn't you be upset and tell people about it?

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Man, BoostedBSeries must own Autozone or something. I couldn't imagine defending Auto Zone like it's a career or anything. :P

Autozone sends everyone to the "store down the street" for ALTERNATORS. They've tested their alternators for me before too. The first guy hooked it up backwords on the machine, the second guy said it was no good. ??? I'll go to autozone for spark plugs though. ;)

Re:FUCK AUTOZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
you must have bad karma or something ,i have used parts for my fiero from autozone and never any problems ,except for my fuel relay pump switch but that is something in my eletrical work. I like autozone down here they usually have parts for my fiero where some don't and they get my stuff in fast when i order it. When my radiator had a huge gash in it ( DAMN ROCKS) and i couldn't drive home ,i left it at work. Well i ordered my radiator from autozone and they had it in the very next day and in the morning.

But working at a harley dealer i have seen one guy come in plenty of times because his speedo/ tach mount would completely snap in the same spot ,this happened 8 TIMES. Point being it does get annoying and is a major inconvience but maybe you are just having bad karma and ck your grounds.

I am not trying to piss you off although lets go into this more.. You Live in NY Brett. I am in ohio I know 3 people that work for AZ. It is not YOU THE STORE that is ------- up it is the cheap ass POS remanu's AZ gets there stuff from. I have had more electrical parts from AZ go out than any other store.

Now onto the cheap thing. You walk into AZ to save money.. They are out to Sell you parts that could be defective.

Solutions

A: Dont ------- shop there
B: Test the parts before you leave
C: Open your own store and stop bitchen.

I cant help that in NE. OHIO AZ will hire ANYONE that can read and write. Each store is owned by a seperate person or group. YOUR STORE seems to possibly have there head on straight or so they think....

That doee not mean every store dose. SO I give you PROPS for your store.. For the rest of them in NE. OHIO

---- AZ
