AutoZone's store locator tool is on their website and mobile app, and it shows you hours, phone numbers, and real-time inventory for the location nearest you

Go to autozone.com and click "Find a Store" in the top navigation, or open the AutoZone mobile app and tap the store locator icon. Enter your zip code, city, or street address. The tool returns a list of nearby locations sorted by distance, with hours, phone numbers, and directions. You can also see whether each store has the specific part you're looking for in stock before you drive there — this saves a trip if the part is out of stock at your closest location.

The same locator works on mobile and desktop. If you're already in the AutoZone app browsing parts, you can check stock at nearby stores without leaving the app. The inventory shown updates throughout the day, though it may lag by an hour or two during busy periods.

Key Takeaways

  • AutoZone's store locator is free and shows hours, phone numbers, and real-time stock for parts you're searching for.
  • You can search by zip code, city name, or full address and see results sorted by distance from your location.
  • Checking stock before you go prevents wasted trips when a part is out of stock at your nearest store.
  • The mobile app and website locator are identical — use whichever is more convenient at the moment you need it.

Searching by location on the website

On autozone.com, the "Find a Store" link appears in the header menu on every page. Click it and you'll land on a map with a search box at the top. Type your zip code (fastest), your city and state, or a full street address. The map zooms to your area and lists stores in order of distance.

Each store card shows the address, phone number, hours of operation, and a "Get Directions" button that opens your phone's maps app or your browser's maps service. If you're looking for a specific part, search for that part first in the AutoZone catalog, then use the stock checker on the product page to see which nearby stores have it in stock. This is faster than visiting each store's page individually.

Using the mobile app to find stores and check inventory

The AutoZone mobile app (available on iOS and Android) has a store locator tab at the bottom of the screen. Tap it, allow location access if prompted, and the app shows your nearest stores when ready. You can also type a different address or zip code to search elsewhere.

The app's main advantage is speed: if you're already browsing a part in the app and want to know if it's in stock nearby, tap "Check Nearby Stores" on the product page. The app shows you which locations have it and how many units are available. You can call the store directly from the app without typing the number.

What information each store listing shows

Every store result includes the street address, city, state, and zip code; the phone number; and the store's hours (which may vary by day). Most AutoZone locations are open seven days a week, but hours vary — some open at 7 a.m. and close at 9 p.m., while others have shorter hours. The listing tells you the exact hours for that specific location.

If you're looking for a part, the inventory status appears on the product page once you've selected a store. You'll see "In Stock," "Out of Stock," or "Limited Stock" for each nearby location. Some stores allow you to reserve a part online for in-store pickup, though this option is not available for all items.

Checking stock before you visit

The fastest way to confirm a part is in stock is to search for it on autozone.com or in the app, then check the stock status at your chosen store. On the product page, you'll see a "Check Stock" or "Check Nearby Stores" button. Click or tap it, enter your location, and the tool shows you which stores have the part and how many units are available.

Stock levels update throughout the day as items are sold and restocked. If a part shows as out of stock at your nearest location, the tool will show you the next closest store that has it. Some readers find it worth driving an extra 10 or 15 minutes to avoid a second trip if their first choice is empty.

Calling ahead or visiting in person

If you prefer to call before visiting, the store locator gives you the phone number. AutoZone staff can confirm stock over the phone and hold a part for you for a limited time (policies vary by location, but most hold parts for 24 to 48 hours). This is useful if you're not sure exactly which part you need and want to describe the problem to someone in the store.

If you're already at a store and need help finding a part, AutoZone staff can look up inventory at other nearby locations and tell you where to find what you need. You don't have to use the online tool if you're already there — the staff have access to the same system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reserve a part online and pick it up at the store?

Some parts can be reserved online for in-store pickup, but not all items offer this option. When you check stock at a specific store, the product page will show whether reservation is available for that item. If it is, you can complete the reservation through the website or app and pick it up within the timeframe shown.

How often does the inventory information update?

Stock levels update throughout the day as items are sold and received, though the online display may lag by an hour or two during busy periods. If you're checking stock early in the morning or late at night, the numbers may not reflect the absolute latest changes, but they're accurate enough to tell you whether a part is likely to be there when you arrive.

What if the part I need is out of stock everywhere nearby?

The store locator shows you the closest location that has the part in stock, even if it's farther away. You can also call a store and ask them to order the part for you — most AutoZone locations can special-order items that aren't in stock, though delivery times vary. The staff can tell you how long the order will take when you call.

Do all AutoZone stores have the same hours?

No. Hours vary by location and day of the week. The store locator shows the exact hours for each store, so check before you visit. Most locations are open seven days a week, but some have shorter hours on Sundays or close earlier on weekdays.
