Unfortunately, Auto Zone, Advanced Auto Parts, Oriely's Auto parts, average employee doesn't last 3 months. If an employee makes it 6 months, they are likely a store manager. I buy allot of auto parts and do my very best to stay out of those 3 store chains. I have a single local NAPA store. 2 grouchy old guys and 1 in his 30's working toward being grouchy as well. The 3 have 75 years of parts store experience. Yes they can test starters and alternators, batteries, will install air filters and wiper blades for walk in customers. They know how to operate a memory saver when changing batteries, can program key fobs, check TPMS sensors for battery life. A real parts store! Not many left out there.
