💼 The Jobs AutoZone Is Filling

Detroit at Work's listing names two openings. AutoZone wants delivery drivers in both full-time and part-time slots, and sales team members for part-time shifts on the store floor.

Delivery drivers at an auto parts chain run parts out to repair shops and dealers, so the day is mostly behind the wheel with stops across town. Sales staff work the counter, look up parts, and help do-it-yourselfers find the right brake pads or battery. In a city that still runs on cars, both jobs put you close to the industry that built Detroit, without a plant badge.

Part-time sales work tends to suit students, parents and anyone stacking a second job. The full-time driver slots are the ones to target if you need steady hours.

💵 What It Pays

The listing says these opportunities pay up to $15 per hour. That is a ceiling, not a promise, and the exact rate depends on the role and the store. Ask the recruiter where each position starts and how raises work before you accept anything. The agency has not published hours per week, benefits, or which AutoZone stores are hiring, so bring those questions with you too.

⚠️ Read This Before You Go

The listing asks candidates to register ahead of time, and it doesn't mention walk-ins. With the event tomorrow, call (313) 377-1067 as early as you can to get on the list. If you're after a driver job, ask on that call what license and driving record AutoZone needs, so you don't make the trip only to be screened out at the table.

The career center sits right on Michigan Avenue in southwest Detroit, a few miles west of Corktown. Plan your bus or parking before you leave so you arrive before 1:00 PM with time to talk.
