| - I went out of town for Memorial Day Weekend & when I went to start my car on Tuesday to go to work, it wouldn't start. From previous experience, I knew my battery was dead & had my roomie jump start my car. Called my dad & he told me to let my car run for a while to charge the battery...my drive to work its roughly 10-15 mins, so I figured that was plenty of time - but just in case, I made sure to bring the jumper cables, planning to take car to get battery checked on my lunch break.
Welp, at lunch, my car needed to be jump started again....which was a ton of fun in the Vegas heat...I made my way to this autozone & left my car running, b/c I learned my lesson & ran inside.... Amber McKey was the person that helped me. I told her what was going on & she said it sounded like the battery wasn't completely charged & to try driving it a little longer to see if that would do the trick.( which is what my dad said too) I was surprised that she didn't immediately tell me I needed a new battery, b/c most car places try to sell you something no matter what.
Anyway, I forgot to mention, my gas light was on..so driving around a bit was risky & pumping gas with car running could have gone really wrong...in the end, I decided to drive around the block a few times. When I got too close to running out of gas, I went back to Autozone. s/w Amber again, and asked her to go ahead & check the battery & replace it if needed.
She said she would look at it first...opened the hood & immediately told me what the problem was. Apparently, whatever that thing is that connects to the battery to the alternator (to charge battery)wasn't attached properly & she attached it for me. voila! my car started.
This is my first yelp review- but I had to do it! I have never had someone offer car suggestions, that didn't include me purchasing something. I would definitely recommend going to this autozone & asking for Amber anytime you have a concern. She will be honest & she didn't seem to have any hidden agenda, which is so refreshing in the automotive industry.
Thank you, Amber!
