As soon as I walked in they had Spanish music playing, My point is this, when you deal with the general public, and you are playing music, try tp be sensitive to other peoples likes and dislikes, in other words a common ground or a common language.. English is that common ground, or at least it was.

Mr [redacted] , In response to your email below, let me repeat what I’ve mentioned in multiple attempts to communicate personally with you via email and phone: I continue to be available to discuss your concerns in person or by telephone whenever you can make yourself available As of this email you have refused to discuss your battery purchase or your concerns about the product that was sold to you and have asked to communicate via email or regular mail (for which you have not provided a mailing address) We have not disputed that [redacted] installs a size battery in new vehicles of your make and model, and this is the OE (original equipment) specification for your vehicle Our battery supplier, [redacted] , manufactures batteries that are original equipment across most brands of automobile, and as such they are very aware of the technical specifications required to support the operation of those vehicles I would be more than happy to explain this in more detail at your request Alternative battery sizes do exist beyond EO specifications, and AutoZone, as well as most if not all other automotive aftermarket retailers, has been successfully providing those options at a lower retail price than OE-specified batteries for decades In my last email I offered to file a claim on your behalf with the manufacturer of the battery Despite the fact that you chose not to accept that offer, I have opened a claim with [redacted] and we are in the process of getting them the battery you returned so they can do a full technical assessment of that unit and provide both you and AutoZone with their expert opinion on the function of that product We are expediting that process on your behalf At this point, instead of engaging in a conversation, you have threatened to sue AutoZone and continue to send disparaging and factually incorrect emails to a large number of AutoZoners as well as other individuals You are demanding that we confirm something — that the battery you were sold was not a functional battery for your vehicle in fit, form and function — that we simply do not believe, nor does our supplier We look forward to answering any formal inquiries from legal authorities, Revdex.coms, or other agencies with which you have chosen to share your experience As I noted in an earlier email, when you brought the battery back to our store and insisted that we provide you with the OE specified battery, we not only provided you with the battery you requested but installed it for you We did not charge you the difference in price between your original purchase and the OE specified battery despite a significant price difference AutoZone is in the business of helping customers by providing alternative options for repairing their vehicles, in many cases at a substantially lower price than the OE option If you will allow us to engage in conversation we will be happy to complete the claims process and communicate the findings to you at our earliest convenience Thank You, [redacted] Cincinnati Regional Manager Customer Satisfaction AutoZone Office: ###-###-#### Cell: ###-###-####

My name is Pastor Joseph L. Ross 3rd of Philadelphia, and my experience at store 6795 with Lisa and Shanice was very refreshing. I Brought in my battery to be charged, found out it was no good. These two ladies were not letting me leave the store without purchasing a new battery. They took me through every possible way to purchase a battery from AutoZone, where I was ready to go to a salvage yard and spend a couple of bucks for a refurbished one. I brought the new battery, and am very pleased with the customer service that I received that day. Thank you Shanice and Lisa
