AutoZone

Love this place! I was visiting Astoria and discovered a gas attendant forgot to put my gas cap on when I filled up. I called Auto zone and gave them my car info and they had a replacement ready for me when I arrived. Zero stars for the gas attendant, five for Auto zone!

The employees at this location went above and beyond expectation for me today. They installed both my new low beams and new wipers, because it’s their policy! I have yet to be given the same courtesy at other locations. Thank you!

Mike Davis, the manager of this location is simply an amazing lad. This awesomeness trickles down to his employees, as each and every time I need AutoZone, they impress the hell out of me. As I have stated in earlier reviews, I hate cars, car issues, mechanical things, etc. Anytime there is an automotive need that is beyond adding petrol to the tank, I get stressed out. AutoZone is my «happy place» that makes it all better.
The latest thing was a brake lamp that went out. No biggie on the grand scale of things, but with a tight schedule and most of my free time is only available after the sun sets, this can be a hassle. Our bored law enforcement representatives seize upon minor issues like this in the hopes of catching bigger infractions, warrants, etc. It normally has a pretty good return rate for them as well (used to play a lot of cops and robbers as a lad, so I know this well – wink). Since I have a security clearance higher than most, I do not fall into that category. My biggest infraction is that I can’t see my tail lights as I drive to know when they go out.
So it was with a groggy head (still hung over from my birthday revelry a couple of nights prior – yeah a 2 day hang-​over — -I am too old for this stuff grrrrrrr.), lack of good sleep, and an aversion to the morning, that I stumbled into AutoZone this fine Sunday morning filled with chirping birds, the first sunshine in months, happy senior citizens out shopping and being traffic hazards, etc.
I was quickly greeted by «Rebel», a very professional, attractive, and helpful lass. Sorry, Mike, I love ya man, but Rebel is much, much prettier (laughs)…the spark is gone lad. She got the bulbs, popped them in for me and even helped me solve another problem (moisture buildup in my boot) with a cheap and easy fix. This advice turned me onto a product line that helps combat it at our soggy house too.
AutoZone & Rebel gave me piece of mind once again.
