I can't imagine that this kind of growth is sustainable

On a long enough timescale, humanity isnt sustainable. Name another Fortune company with a >10% CAGR beyond two decades.

Sure, nothing is forever. Given the reason why AutoZone exists (people who cant afford to let a dealer fix their aging car) ita almost entirely aimed straight at economically disadvantaged car owners. Theres a lot of those folks in the US.

Not just people who can’t afford to let a dealer fix their car, those that fucking hate dealerships and refuse to go to them as little as possible. As someone that used to work there years ago believe me people would rather tear their own shit apart because dealers would always just do what they’re known for. Finesse extra charges, or slightly fuck something else up so they come again later when they notice it.
