Dude
1) Auto zone can counter sue you for suing them by law
2) any place would say anything just to get you to buy parts
3) exploding alternetor? Never in a million years has that ever happened. If the alternator get over charged it will mostlikely melt the coils and break the electric current which by default the car is to either stop or drain its next power source which is the battery.
4) i kinda think your making this such a big drama and should settle down.

Sorry, I think your information isn't correct. When driving, if the terminal comes loose, all that is going to happen is that the alternator will not be able to recharge your battery. The battery is used to start your car, and after that, your alternator is what supplies the power to run it. Most alternators these days actually have a max load of 120 amps, so if your car was "cutting off" you have other problems.

Which is the price of the battery and any labor your may have spent. Changing out a battery is not hard and can be done by anyone. Sorry to hear he messed it up but since you should have been under the hood with him why didnt you notice. Also the chances of the car exploding were small, even the chances of the battery exploding were small. That was drama and in Wal-Mart's case it was getting you to buy from them next time.

I'm a an ex employee any thing an auto zoner does once they leave the buildings the kindness out of their heart. So no warranties I mean I always told customers '' Is their anything you signed? Think about that before someone touches your car. No agreement no liability at all.

unless it is the alternator that has gone bad. Ol' Lisapooh never mentioned that she had the battery tested, just that she went to Auto Zone to purchase a battery.

I haven't worked on cars in years but the cars I used to work on (70's and earlier) would run without a battery at all once you got it started. If the battery got disconnected the battery light would come on but the car would run until it was turned off. The alternator had enough capacity to run the engine without the battery at least for a while. Then of course it wouldn't start again. Will they still do that?

You paid ZERO to have the battery installed, and that is all you will get in compensation. First, you have this report posted under the heading of "Mechanics". AZ has no mechanics. They have parts sellers. You went to AZ because you knew repair shops with Mechanics would actually charge labor for installation, plus the typical markup on the baterry itself. You figured it would be CHEAPer to go the Zone and have one of their NON-Mechanics install it. Second, whoever the genius is who told you an alternator will cause your vehicle to explode is a blithering idiot.
