AutoZone locations are open six days a week in most places, typically Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

These are the standard hours for most AutoZone stores across the United States. However, individual locations vary — some open as early as 7 a.m. or stay open as late as 10 p.m., and a few locations are open on Sunday with different hours. Holiday schedules also differ by store, so a location may close early on Christmas Eve or remain closed on certain holidays.

The fastest way to confirm your specific store's hours is to visit AutoZone.com, enter your zip code, and select your nearest location. The store page will display current hours, phone number, and services available at that location. You can also call the store directly — the phone number appears on the location page.

Key Takeaways

  • Most AutoZone stores operate Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., but hours vary by location.
  • The AutoZone website lets you search by zip code to see exact hours for your nearest store.
  • Holiday hours often differ from regular hours, so check the store page before visiting on holidays.
  • Calling the store directly is the most reliable way to confirm they are open right now, especially during unusual hours or weather events.

How to Find Your Nearest AutoZone and Its Hours

Go to AutoZone.com and use the store locator tool at the top of the page. Enter your zip code or city name, and the site will show all AutoZone locations within a set distance, ranked by proximity. Each location displays the full address, phone number, hours of operation, and a map.

The store page also lists services available at that location — not all AutoZone stores offer the same services. Some locations have battery installation, oil change, or other services, while others do not. If you need a specific service, confirm it is available before you visit.

Why Hours Vary Between Locations

AutoZone franchises and company-operated stores set their own hours within corporate guidelines. A store in a busy urban area may stay open later than one in a smaller town. Staffing levels, local demand, and lease agreements with the shopping center or strip mall all affect when a store opens and closes.

Some locations also adjust hours seasonally — a store in a cold climate may open later in winter when fewer people are out early, or a location in a college town may extend hours during the school year. These changes are reflected on the AutoZone website, but calling ahead during unusual times of year is still wise.

What to Do If Your Local Store Is Closed

If you need a part or service outside regular store hours, AutoZone offers a few alternatives. Many locations have an after-hours phone line where you can leave a message, and staff will call you back during business hours. Some stores also partner with other retailers — certain Walmart locations stock AutoZone parts and can fulfill orders.

You can also order parts online through AutoZone.com and pick them up at your nearest store during the next business day. This option works well if you know exactly what you need and can wait until the store reopens. For emergency repairs, check whether any 24-hour auto repair shops in your area stock the part you need.

Holiday Hours and Special Closures

AutoZone typically closes on major holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Hours may be reduced on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and the day after Thanksgiving. Some locations remain open on other holidays like Memorial Day or Labor Day, though hours may differ from regular schedules.

The AutoZone website updates holiday hours several weeks in advance. Check your store's page in early November for Thanksgiving and Christmas schedules, and in late December for New Year's hours. If you cannot find holiday information online, call the store directly — staff can tell you whether they will be open and at what time.

Using AutoZone's Online Tools to Check Availability

Beyond store hours, AutoZone.com lets you check whether a specific part is in stock at your nearest location. Search for the part, select your vehicle year and make, and the site shows availability at nearby stores. You can reserve a part online, and it will be held for you for 24 hours.

This feature saves a trip if you are unsure whether the store has what you need. You can also see the price at different locations, which occasionally varies. If a part is out of stock nearby, the site will show you the next closest AutoZone that has it in stock.
