AutoZone opens at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and 9 a.m. on Sundays at most locations

Most AutoZone stores open at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. on Sunday. Closing time is usually 9 p.m. or 10 p.m., depending on the location. However, hours vary by store — some open earlier or later, and a few locations have different weekend schedules. The only way to know your specific store's hours is to check directly.

AutoZone does not publish a single company-wide hours page. Instead, you need to look up your individual store. The fastest way is to visit AutoZone.com, enter your zip code or city, and the store locator will show hours for each location near you. You can also call the store directly — the phone number appears in the same locator.

Key Takeaways

  • Standard AutoZone hours are 7:30 a.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and 9 a.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. on Sundays, but individual stores vary.
  • Use the AutoZone store locator at AutoZone.com to find your nearest location and its exact hours.
  • Calling the store directly is the fastest way to confirm hours if you need to know right away.
  • Some AutoZone locations inside other retailers (like Walmart) may have different hours than standalone stores.

How to find your store's hours online

Go to AutoZone.com and look for the store locator, usually near the top or bottom of the homepage. Enter your zip code, city, or street address. The site will show all AutoZone locations within a certain distance, listed with their addresses, phone numbers, and hours.

The hours displayed are the store's regular schedule. If a store has special hours on a holiday or is temporarily closed, that information usually appears below the regular hours. If you are planning a trip during a holiday, call ahead — holiday hours change year to year and are not always updated on the website when ready.

Calling ahead to confirm hours

If you need to know hours right away or want to confirm before making a trip, call the store. The phone number is in the store locator. When you call, you can also ask whether the item you need is in stock, which saves a wasted trip.

AutoZone does not have a central customer service line for store hours. You must call the individual location. Most stores answer during business hours, though wait times can be long during peak times like early morning or lunch.

AutoZone inside other stores

Some AutoZone locations operate inside Walmart, Kroger, or other retailers. These stores keep the hours of their host location, not standard AutoZone hours. For example, an AutoZone inside a Walmart that closes at 11 p.m. will close at 11 p.m., even if a standalone AutoZone nearby closes at 9 p.m.

The store locator will show you whether a location is inside another store. If it is, the hours listed are the host store's hours. Call ahead if you are unsure, because these hours can change if the host store changes its schedule.

What to do if your store is closed

If you need a part outside store hours, you have a few options. Many AutoZone locations offer after-hours pickup — you order online and pick up from a locker outside the store. Check the store locator to see if your location offers this service.

You can also order online for delivery to your home, though delivery takes longer than in-store pickup. Some areas have 24-hour AutoZone locations, though these are rare. Use the store locator and filter by "open now" to see if any locations near you are currently open.

Holiday hours and temporary closures

AutoZone closes on Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day. Most other holidays — including New Year's Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day — have modified hours rather than full closure. Hours on these days vary by location.

The store locator does not always show holiday hours in advance. If you are planning to visit on or near a holiday, call the store directly. You can also check the AutoZone social media pages or call customer service to ask about holiday schedules for your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AutoZone open earlier on any days?

A few locations open at 7 a.m. or earlier, but this is not standard. Use the store locator to check your specific store. If you need parts very early, call ahead to confirm whether your location opens before 7:30 a.m.

Can I order online and pick up after the store closes?

Many AutoZone locations offer after-hours locker pickup, but not all. Check the store locator for your location — it will show whether after-hours pickup is available. If it is, you can order online and retrieve your part from an outdoor locker outside business hours.

What if I need a part at 2 a.m.?

Very few AutoZone locations are open 24 hours. Your best option is to order online for after-hours locker pickup if your store offers it, or order for home delivery. Call your local store to ask whether they have a 24-hour location nearby, though this is uncommon in most areas.

Do AutoZone hours change seasonally?

AutoZone does not change hours seasonally. Hours remain the same year-round unless the store changes its permanent schedule or a holiday falls on a regular business day. Check the store locator if you have not visited in several months to confirm hours have not changed.
