May 1, 2021
Parts buying innovation geared toward your success.

Since its inception, AutoZone has worked towards one singular goal throughout the years: to help people who take care of cars. AutoZone knows that time is money and that turning bays, maximizing tech time and increasing efficiency means more repairs and more profits. 

AutoZone's commitment to the professional customer is why we they have invested their time and money into building revolutionary technologies that provide a better customer experience—and help you achieve your business goals. 

You need to get the right parts the first time and manage customer expectations while reducing mistakes because your reputation is on the line every minute of every repair. AutoZone offers shops a "Professional Edge" with enhanced search tools and extended catalogs and delivery networks to get you parts faster, with notifications on orders so you and your customers stay up to date. Efficiency is everything in the chaos of the shop, and AutoZone has dedicated its resources into modern “Professional Edge Solutions” not only geared towards your business success, but also to take the worry and work off of you.

Easier Parts Ordering

Get the exact parts you need even faster with the most advanced 24/7 online search tools and intelligence.

  • Search Multiple Terms at Once: The improved search functionality allows you to search multiple terms together, such as “brake pads rotor hub assembly.” All the results are returned to help speed up your parts selection. 

  • Search by Job or Create & Save Your Own: Get everything you need faster and search by preset jobs like “brakes – complete front” and the search results will include front calipers, pads, rotors, and the hardware kit. You may also create your own part lists that you typically buy together; for example, if you have a common recon list, create “Recon Level 1” and put battery, wipers, front brake pads, rear brake pads, front rotors, and rear rotors in the list. All of these part types will be pulled when you click that job. 

  • Search the Extended Parts Catalog: Now you can search more parts including OE dealer brands and non-stocked parts from the AutoZone vendor network so you have access to nearly everything right from your own desktop and save time calling and searching elsewhere. 

  • Search Results Images: All search results have accurate, multi-view images to verify you get the right part the first time.

  • Create Estimates on the Site: Save time by creating professional, printable estimates right on the website when selecting parts, and include services and terms of service plus labor via ALLDATA labor. Store customers’ names and information within the platform.

  • Mobile App with VIN Scanner and License Plate Lookups: Find parts and prices from anywhere with the improved AutoZonePro mobile app. Whether in the bay, outside the office or on the road, vehicles and parts are automatically added to your desktop account.

Faster Delivery

Maximize your profit potential with less waiting, less idle tech time, and more bays turning.
