August 10th water pump goeas out on my work truck, head to Auto Zone for NEW part (not rebuilt). Installed part and drove 22 miles . . . wnew pump starts to leak. Back to Auto Zone I go. Manager gives me a warranty replacement NEW pump. Ins...talled and drove around the block a few times - "OK" until the next day. Drove 70 miles away and on the return trip the water pump blows up . . . right through the radiator and damages to othr front end parts. Call for a tow truck and called Auto Zone to let them know I will be visiting them real soon. Manager says they will cover all parts and tow bill. WOW! that's great. Next day the regional manager puts a stop to it all. Says they need the defective part to be sent to the corporate office to examine. Here we are on November 1st and a $900.00 repair bill and Auto Zone doesn't give a rip! What I thought was going to be a real outstanding backing of a corportation behind their product, has turned into a joke and a company I will never recommend and actually tell friends, family, car enthusiasts to AVOID!
I DO, however, recommend Motion Auto Parts (Federated Auto Parts) for all ther quality parts that are now installed in my truck and running very WELL!See More
