there is one autozone shop per game region. possibly used as performance shop like most wanted had. they might of been referenced to in the files as "chopshop" Conclusion edit:
autozone is on the shopping cart screen. im 99% sure that it was defiantly the 4 autozone shops that were performance shops.

That would definitely make sense, but I think if all the performance shops were originally supposed to be AutoZone's it would kinda mislead people who have never been to one before. I don't think I've ever seen them sell any legit performance parts unless you count turbo gauges and oil pressure gauges.

Could been just adverts cause of sponsors, most NFS had licensed shops (without usage) in the city.

The interiors of the shops look more like a convineint store than a garage. So...nope.

Well, there are Castrol stations/garages too...and? I think the primary existence is to resemble a regular Auto Zone store (cause sponsor), Auto Zone was licensed in their NASCAR games as well. However, the store itself aside the brand could been a performance shop...but the detail is nothing, the diner's etc have a detailed interior too But we will never know...an theory about it is as useful as drinking vodka on ice without vodka... The 2 Options... The shops were meant to be aftermarket shops but removed to allow a easier access. The shops are just scenery with a licensed brand of a sponsor...

It looks more like a car convinient store. There's a burger king restaurant in Rockport, Rosewood and Camden, but I don't see anyone making a theory about Burger King.

(Sorry if I don't know what's going on, I have been living under a rock when it comes to NFS theories for about 8 months)

Or it was aftermarket shop. You could buy there only aftermarket parts like bodykits and wheels and the autosculpt parts could be accessible only in garage.

Good thing they cut them. It was annoying to have to drive around to get a performance part although enjoyable at times. Heat lvl 5 and cops are in every corner. That's why I'm thankful they cut it

That's why I'm thankful they cut it remember that nfsc was going to be a different game. you could have huge races though the city where other crews joined in half way through... you could also jump to shops like you would jump to the carlot anyway.

I don't see a time the beta requires more than the regular power, it indeed didn't have better graphics, just disabled motion blur which while driving gives the effects of high detailed streets and environment...I proved that by turning off motion blur in the final game.
Tho the PS2 demo had a better sunset and night sky.
