AutoZone store hours vary by location, so you need to check your specific store rather than relying on a general opening time

AutoZone does not have a single opening time across all stores. Most locations open between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., but some open as late as 9:00 a.m., and a few locations have earlier hours. Closing times also vary — most stores close between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., though some close earlier. The fastest way to find your store's exact hours is to search for the location online or call directly.

If you need a part today, knowing whether your nearest store is open right now matters more than knowing the standard hours. A store that usually opens at 8:00 a.m. might be closed for inventory or a private event, or it might have adjusted its hours seasonally. The methods below will give you the current status in seconds.

Key Takeaways

  • AutoZone's opening time depends on your specific store location, not a company-wide schedule.
  • The AutoZone website store locator shows hours for each location and whether the store is open right now.
  • Calling your store directly is the most reliable way to confirm hours and check if a specific part is in stock.
  • Google Maps displays AutoZone hours, real-time open/closed status, and customer reviews for any location.
  • Most AutoZone locations open between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., but you should verify before making a trip.

Use the AutoZone website store locator

Go to autozone.com and click the "Store Locator" link, usually found at the top or bottom of the page. Enter your zip code or city name. The results will show all AutoZone locations near you, and each listing displays the store's hours for today and the rest of the week.

The store locator also shows whether the location is currently open or closed, which is useful if you are checking outside normal business hours. You can see the phone number for each store on the same page, so if the hours listed do not match what you need, you can call to confirm before driving there.

Search on Google Maps

Open Google Maps and search for "AutoZone near me" or type "AutoZone" and your city name. The map will display nearby locations with a card showing hours, a phone number, and a green "Open" or red "Closed" label. Click on any store to see its full hours for the entire week.

Google Maps also shows how busy the store typically is at different times of day, which can help you decide whether to go now or wait. Customer reviews sometimes mention wait times at the counter, which is useful if you are in a hurry. The directions button will estimate your travel time from your current location.

Call the store directly

Find the phone number through the AutoZone website, Google Maps, or a general search. Calling takes two minutes and gives you the most current information — if the store has closed early for a staff meeting or opened late due to a delivery, the person who answers will know.

When you call, you can also ask whether the specific part you need is in stock. This saves a wasted trip if the store is open but does not have what you are looking for. Many AutoZone locations will hold a part for you for 24 hours if you ask them to reserve it over the phone.

Check your phone's default maps app

Most phones have a built-in maps process (Apple Maps on iPhone, Google Maps on Android). Open it, search for AutoZone, and tap the nearest location. The hours appear when ready, along with the current open/closed status. This method works even if you do not have AutoZone's website bookmarked.

If you have visited an AutoZone before, it may appear in your recent searches or favorites, which makes finding it even faster. Pinning your regular store to your maps app means you can check its hours without typing anything the next time you need to.

What to do if your store is closed

If your nearest AutoZone is closed, check whether another location nearby is open. The store locator and Google Maps both show multiple locations at once, so you can see which one will be open soonest. Some AutoZone stores are open 24 hours, though this is rare and depends entirely on the location.

If no AutoZone near you is open and you need a part urgently, consider calling ahead to a store that opens early tomorrow morning. You can reserve the part by phone, and many stores will set it aside so you do not have to search the shelves when you arrive. Some AutoZone locations also offer same-day delivery in certain areas, which you can check through the website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are AutoZone stores open on Sundays?

Most AutoZone locations are open on Sundays, but hours are usually shorter than weekdays — often 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. or 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Check your specific store's hours because Sunday schedules vary by location.

Do AutoZone stores open earlier on weekdays?

Many AutoZone locations open earlier on weekdays than weekends, sometimes as early as 7:00 a.m. compared to 9:00 a.m. on Saturday or Sunday. Your store's schedule depends on its location and local demand, so check the store locator to compare weekday and weekend hours.

Can I order online and pick up today?

AutoZone offers online ordering with in-store pickup at many locations. You can order through autozone.com and select a pickup time, though same-day pickup depends on whether the item is in stock at your chosen store and how soon you need it. Call the store to confirm pickup availability before ordering.

What if the store locator shows different hours than when I called?

Store hours sometimes change without the website updating when ready, or a store may close early for inventory or staffing reasons. If you see a discrepancy, the store's phone line is the most current source. Always call before making a trip if the hours matter to your plans.
