AutoZone Return Policy Explained

AutoZone Return Policy in Summary

AutoZone's return policy allows returns of eligible products within 90 days of the purchase date. You will need the original packaging for the product, the receipt, and in most cases, a government-issued photo ID.

For AutoZone returns without a receipt, you need to call their customer support at 800-288-6966. They will give you the information about your purchase and instruct you on how to return the merchandise.

Non-Returnable Products

Before returning a product, be aware that some products are not eligible according to the AutoZone return policy. These include:

• Gift cards
• Customized products, like floor mats with logos or trims
• Products marked as 'final sale' at the time of purchase

How To Return AutoZone Items Bought at a Store

Products bought in an AutoZone store should be returned in their original packaging, and you will need to show your receipt. If you used a credit card for the purchase, bring it with you for immediate processing.

You may also need to present your government-issued ID for their return activity database. Here are the IDs they accept for returns:

• U.S. or Canadian Driver's License
• U.S. State ID
• Canadian Province ID
• U.S. Military ID
• Mexican Voter Registration Card
• Passport
• U.S. Laser Visa

How To Return Items Bought Online

Products bought online can be returned in two ways:

• Take them to an AutoZone store
• Ship them to an AutoZone.com's Fulfillment Center

Returns to an AutoZone Store

To return merchandise bought online to an AutoZone store, follow these steps:

1. Drain all fluids from the product (if applicable)
2. Pack the product in its original packaging
3. Take the product along with the receipt to the nearest AutoZone store

AutoZone will refund shipping costs only if they made a shipping mistake or shipped a defective product.

Even though you should look for the cheapest carrier, AutoZone encourages choosing one that offers package tracking for safe delivery.

Returning AutoZone Cores

The AutoZone core returns (without a receipt or with proof of purchase) are similar to the returns of any other products. Use the standard procedures to return these items to a store or ship them to the AutoZone.com Fulfillment Center, but note the following:

• The core return shipping costs are not refundable
• The amount reimbursed for the core will be equivalent to its value after inspection—if it passes the inspection
• Returning merchandise to AutoZone can be considered transfer of ownership, and the company may not return the core to you
• The parts must be free of any flammable and hazardous fluids before shipment
