Autozones I've visited recently. They used to clear but I think they've changed their minds about clearing codes (liability?). If you really wanted to get a code cleared you could still ask.


Same here.

The last time I had an issue, they refused to clear the code and told me it was against company policy.

I believe that disconnecting the battery for a few minutes will still clear codes on most older cars, however.


Yes, but then you have to go to those places.

For people like me who drive cars into the ground, a code reader/clearer is almost a necessity. I wouldn't go to Autozone to clear a code all the time.
