Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Payments | Note B – Share-Based Payments AutoZone recognizes compensation expense for share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Share-based payments include stock option grants, restricted stock grants, restricted stock unit grants and the discount on shares sold to employees under share purchase plans. Additionally, directors’ fees are paid in restricted stock units with value equivalent to the value of shares of common stock as of the grant date. The change in fair value of liability-based stock awards is also recognized in share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense (a component of Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses) was $12.7 million for the twelve week period ended February 10, 2018, and $10.9 million for the comparable prior year period. Share-based compensation expense was $23.8 million for the twenty-four week period ended February 10, 2018, and $20.7 million for the comparable prior year period. During the twenty-four week period ended February 10, 2018, 234,114 stock options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $278.69.

The Company made stock option grants of 283,290 shares during the twenty-four week period ended February 10, 2018, and granted options to purchase 290,805 shares during the comparable prior year period. The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted during the twenty-four week period ended February 10, 2018, and February 11, 2017, using the Black-Scholes-Merton multiple-option pricing valuation model, was $128.99 and $139.80 per share, respectively, using the following weighted average key assumptions: Twenty-Four Weeks Ended February 10, 2018 February 11, 2017 Expected price volatility 20% 18% Risk-free interest rate 1.9% 1.2% Weighted average expected lives (in years) 5.1 5.1 Forfeiture rate 10% 10% Dividend yield 0% 0% See AutoZone’s Annual Report on Form 10-K For the twelve week period ended February 10, 2018, 609,435 stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because they would have been anti-dilutive. For the comparable prior year period, 645,561 anti-dilutive shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computation. There were 844,912 anti-dilutive shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation for the twenty-four week period ended February 10, 2018, and 605,065 anti-dilutive shares excluded for the comparable prior year period. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note C – Fair Value Measurements The Company defines fair value as the price received to transfer an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are set forth below: Level 1 inputs Level 2 inputs Level 3 inputs Financial Assets & Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: February 10, 2018 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Other current assets $ 30,007 $ 1,928 $ – $ 31,935 Other long-term assets 61,534 24,248 – 85,782 $ 91,541 $ 26,176 $ – $ 117,717 August 26, 2017 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Other current assets $ 18,453 $ 120 $ – $ 18,573 Other long-term assets 53,319 28,981 – 82,300 $ 71,772 $ 29,101 $ – $ 100,873 At February 10, 2018, the fair value measurement amounts for assets and liabilities recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet consisted of short-term marketable securities of $31.9 million, which are included within Other current assets, and long-term marketable securities of $85.8 million, which are included in Other long-term assets. The Company’s marketable securities are typically valued at the closing price in the principal active market as of the last business day of the quarter or through the use of other market inputs relating to the securities, including benchmark yields and reported trades. The fair values of the marketable securities, by asset class, are described in “Note D – Marketable Securities.” Non-Financial Non-Recurring Certain non-financial non-recurring non-financial non-financial non-recurring Financial Instruments not Recognized at Fair Value The Company has financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities. A discussion of the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s debt is included in “Note H – Financing.” |

The Company holds 112 securities that are in an unrealized loss position of approximately $893 thousand at February 10, 2018. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery of fair value or maturity, and does not deem the investments to be impaired on an other than temporary basis. In evaluating whether the securities are deemed to be impaired on an other than temporary basis, the Company considers factors such as the duration and severity of the loss position, the credit worthiness of the investee, the term to maturity and the intent and ability to hold the investments until maturity or until recovery of fair value. Included above in total marketable securities are $85.0 million of marketable securities transferred by the Company’s insurance captive to a trust account to secure its obligations to an insurance company related to future workers’ compensation and casualty losses. |

During the twenty-four weeks period ended February 10, 2018, the Company did not make contributions to its funded plan. On December 19, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the Company’s pension plans, effective March 15, 2018. Benefit accruals have been frozen, and the plan closed to new participants on January 1, 2003. The Company has commenced the plan termination process and expects to distribute a portion of the pension plan assets as lump sum payments with the remaining balance transferred to an insurance company in the form of an annuity. The total payments distributed will depend on the participation rate of eligible participants. Based on the estimated value of assets held in the plan, the Company currently estimates that a cash contribution of approximately $20—$30 million will be required to fully fund the plan’s liabilities at termination. The pension plan termination is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2018, and the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the termination and future settlement accounting on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

Under the Extension Amendment: (i) the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement was increased from $1.6 billion to $2.0 billion; (ii) the Company’s option to increase its borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement was “refreshed” and the amount of such option remained at $400 million; the maximum borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement may, at the Company’s option, subject to lenders approval, be increased from $2.0 billion to $2.4 billion; (iii) the termination date of the Revolving Credit Agreement was extended from November 18, 2021 until November 18, 2022; and (iv) the Company has the option to make one additional written request of the lenders to extend the termination date then in effect for an additional one year. Under the revolving credit facility, the Company may borrow funds consisting of Eurodollar loans, base rate loans or a combination of both. Interest accrues on Eurodollar loans at a defined Eurodollar rate, defined as LIBOR plus the applicable percentage, as defined in the revolving credit facility, depending upon the Company’s senior, unsecured, (non-credit On November 18, 2016, the Company amended and restated its existing 364-Day 364-Day (non-credit 364-Day The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated at $5.049 billion as of February 10, 2018, and $5.171 billion as of August 26, 2017, based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms (Level 2). Such fair value is greater than the carrying value of debt by $5.4 million at February 10, 2018, and $90.3 million at August 26, 2017, which reflects their face amount, adjusted for any unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts. All senior notes are subject to an interest rate adjustment if the debt ratings assigned to the senior notes are downgraded (as defined in the agreements). Further, the senior notes contain a provision that repayment of the senior notes may be accelerated if we experience a change in control (as defined in the agreements). Our borrowings under our senior notes contain minimal covenants, primarily restrictions on liens. Under our revolving credit facilities, covenants include restrictions on liens, a maximum debt to earnings ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a change of control provision that may require acceleration of the repayment obligations under certain circumstances. All of the repayment obligations under our borrowing arrangements may be accelerated and come due prior to the scheduled payment date if covenants are breached or an event of default occurs. As of February 10, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants under our borrowing arrangements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | Note N – Segment Reporting The Company’s four operating segments (Domestic Auto Parts, Mexico, Brazil and IMC) are aggregated as one reportable segment: Auto Parts Locations. The criteria the Company used to identify the reportable segment are primarily the nature of the products the Company sells and the operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the business units and to assess performance. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segment are the same as those described in Note A in its Annual Report on Form 10-K The Auto Parts Locations segment is a retailer and distributor of automotive parts and accessories through the Company’s 6,088 locations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Brazil. Each location carries an extensive product line for cars, sport utility vehicles, vans and light trucks, including new and remanufactured automotive hard parts, maintenance items, accessories and non-automotive The Other category reflects business activities of three operating segments that are not separately reportable due to the materiality of these operating segments. The operating segments include ALLDATA, which produces, sells and maintains diagnostic and repair information software used in the automotive repair industry; E-commerce, The Company evaluates its reportable segment primarily on the basis of net sales and segment profit, which is defined as gross profit.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note O – Income Taxes Our effective income tax rate was (74.7%) of pretax income for the twelve weeks ended February 10, 2018. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory federal rate primarily due to a $111.9 million provisional tax benefit resulting from the enactment of the Tax Reform as described in further detail below; $32.1 million of excess tax benefits from option exercises; a $35.3 million benefit from the previously reported quarter one tax expense due to the reduction of the U.S. statutory rate from 35% to approximately 25.9%; and a second quarter tax benefit of $24.2 million due to the reduction of the U.S. statutory rate from 35% to approximately 25.9%. Our effective income tax rate was 4.2% of pretax income for the twenty-four weeks ended February 10, 2018. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory federal rate primarily due to a $111.9 million provisional tax benefit resulting from the enactment of Tax Reform as described in further detail below; $34.3 million of excess tax benefits from option exercises; and a $59.5 million benefit from the reduction of the U.S. statutory rate from 35% to approximately 25.9%. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates its effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effects of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status are recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. On December 22, 2017, Tax Reform was enacted by the U.S. government. Tax Reform contains several key provisions that affected the Company. The enacted provisions impacting the current financial statements include a mandatory one-time th year-end, non-U.S. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations where a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of Tax Reform. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of Tax Reform is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of Tax Reform. The ultimate impact may differ from provisional amounts recorded, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, and additional regulatory guidance that may be issued. The accounting is expected to be completed within one year from the enactment date of Tax Reform. Based on the current analysis, the Company recorded a provisional income tax benefit of $111.9 million in its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended February 10, 2018. The Company was able to determine a reasonable estimate for the mandatory one-time re-measurement As of February 10, 2018, the Company has estimated the following obligations with respect to the mandatory deemed repatriation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The estimate may change, possibly materially, due to among other things, further refinement of the Company’s calculations, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of Tax Reform.
