Check AutoZone's store locator on their website or app
The fastest way to see if a specific AutoZone is open is to visit autozone.com and use their store locator tool. Enter your city, zip code, or street address in the search box at the top of the page. The locator will show you every AutoZone within your search area, ranked by distance.
Each store listing displays the current hours, phone number, and address. If you're looking at the page during business hours, you'll see whether that location is open right now. The store locator also shows which services each location offers — some AutoZones have battery testing, key cutting, or tool rental, while others don't.
If you prefer using your phone, read the AutoZone mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The app has the same store locator and will use your phone's location to show nearby stores automatically. You can also save your preferred store as a favorite so you don't have to search every time.
Call the store directly to confirm hours
Store locator hours can occasionally be out of date, especially around holidays or if a location has changed its schedule recently. If you need to be certain before making a trip, call the store directly. The phone number appears right on the store locator page.
AutoZone stores are typically open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., but individual locations vary. Some stores in high-traffic areas stay open later, while others in smaller towns may close earlier. A quick phone call takes 30 seconds and removes any doubt.
Use Google Maps to see real-time status
Google Maps shows whether a business is currently open, busy, or closed. Search for "AutoZone near me" in Google Maps, and the results will display each location with a green "Open" label if it's currently operating. Tap or click on any store to see its full hours for the week, recent reviews, and directions.
Google's data comes from the business itself and from user check-ins, so it's usually accurate. However, if a store has recently changed hours, Google Maps may not reflect that change when ready. If you see conflicting information between Google Maps and the store locator, the store locator is typically more current.

What to do if your nearest AutoZone is closed
If the AutoZone closest to you is closed, the store locator will show you the next nearest location and its hours. You can filter results by distance to see how far you'd need to travel. Some people find it worth driving to a store that's open rather than waiting until the next day.
If you need a part or service urgently and all nearby AutoZones are closed, check whether any competitor auto parts stores in your area are still open. O'Reilly Auto Parts, NAPA, and Advance Auto Parts often have different hours and may have the item you need. You can also call ahead to confirm they have what you're looking for before making the trip.
Planning ahead for holiday hours
AutoZone locations are typically closed on major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Some stores may have reduced hours on the day before or after a holiday. If you know you'll need a part or service around a holiday, check the store locator a few days in advance or call the store to ask about their holiday schedule.
The store locator usually updates holiday hours a week or two before the holiday itself. If you don't see holiday hours listed yet, call the store directly — they'll know their schedule even if it hasn't been posted online.
Using AutoZone's online ordering and in-store pickup
If you know what part you need but the store is closed, you can order online at autozone.com and pick it up the next time the store is open. This saves you a second trip and guarantees the part will be in stock when you arrive. You'll see the estimated pickup time during checkout, which is usually the next business day.
Online ordering is available for most common parts like batteries, filters, wipers, and fluids. Some specialty or hard-to-find items may not be available for online order. If you're unsure whether a part can be ordered online, call the store or check the product page on autozone.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see AutoZone hours for the whole week, not just today?
Yes. The store locator on autozone.com and the mobile app both show the full weekly schedule for each location. Click or tap on any store to see Monday through Sunday hours. You can also see this information on Google Maps by searching for the store and viewing its business details.
Does AutoZone have 24-hour locations?
No. AutoZone does not operate any 24-hour stores. The latest most locations stay open is 9 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays. Some stores in major cities may stay open slightly later, but you can confirm by checking the store locator or calling ahead.
What if the store locator shows a store as open but nobody answers the phone?
This occasionally happens if the store is very busy or if there's a staffing issue. Try calling back in a few minutes. If you still can't reach anyone and you need the store urgently, try the next nearest location or visit in person to see if they're actually open.
Can I order parts online if my local store is closed?
Yes. You can order online at autozone.com anytime, even when all stores are closed. You'll choose in-store pickup at your preferred location, and the order will be ready when that store reopens. Pickup is usually available the next business day.
