With the weather getting warmer and gas prices on the decline, more people are thinking about their vehicles. This has AutoZone gearing up for the spring selling season in a big way. In anticipation of their busiest season yet, AutoZone is hiring
10,000 additional employees through April. The leading retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts and accessories in the United States has shown incredible growth and stability, especially since their recent rebranding and increase in the number of mega-hubs. With over 5,100 locations, AutoZone has also pledged to hire more than 20,000 transitioning service members and military veterans by 2020.  Since last year, more than 4,600 current and prior U.S. Military Service Members have already been hired.  AutoZone continues to secure its long-time place in the automotive replacement parts market. With most American adults both needing to own and maintain a vehicle as well as the deep affinity many consumers have for fixing and enhancing their own vehicles, AutoZone is the perfect destination for everyone.

Putting customers first and instilling AutoZone brand loyalty has always been a motto for the automotive retailer and distributor. During the company’s recent fourth-quarter earnings conference call, AutoZone CEO William Rhodes said,

The first trulyomnichannel auto repair system is upon us as AutoZone partners with Openbay. The partnership, launching this month, will allow consumers (beginning in the Boston area) to comparison shop service and maintenance packages with local repair shops for their specific vehicles. The service combines AutoZone store parts with Openbay's online marketplace for auto repair. Learn more details about the partnership on Openbay's blog. The partnership enables true omnichannel retailing from both parties, combining the online comparison shopping enabled by Openbay and the in-store experience consumers have come to know and depend on for both parts and service from AutoZone.
