Autozone employees can only do so much with their scan tool. They're not mechanics and I don't think they're pretending to be one either, they're just trying to give you some indication of what might be wrong. To get a proper diagnosis take the vehicle to a mechanic. You need at least to run a compression test to determine if head gaskets failed.
