I had a great experience at Pep Boys. Even though they were understaffed and overwhelmed that day, they still got my brakes and rotors replaced in a couple hours, gave me multiple pricing options and talked me through the warranty differences. Friendly, clean, and professional. Saved me $200 compared to quote from Meineke.

Tell me one thing when I got there they couldn't do the job or wouldn't do the job I just left me sit there until I got tired of waiting and left

I had to order a set of tires twice on October 8 and October 2. Both times I was redirected from the store because they did not have my tires. I drove 30 minutes back-and-forth to the first store to wait 45 minutes while in store to be told by the employee that they don’t have my tires. I drove 40 to 45 minutes back-and-forth to the second store as I was told that was the only location that would have the tires after the first order Was unsuccessful. I called customer service twice now after being told that they would look into a discount for my wasted gas in time, as a result of their lack of awareness of when and where the tires that I ordered would be. I’ve been informed both times that I’ve called in that they’ve successfully updated my customer service case, and then I should be expecting a call. I have yet to receive this call and it is over a month after I made my first order later.

I had to use this place due to an emergency. At first glance I was not really confident. But the assistant manager Karen was amazing. She handled my warranty claim to get my repair going quickly. She answered all of my questions and made me feel better about using this shop. She recounted to me that corporate had plans to close up this shop and had pulled some support but they were soldiering on and improving their stance every day. While I was there several local business operators came in to discuss business relationships to help everyone involved. Karen is keeping this shop together with a lot of help from her techs. Michael was one that I met and he was a nice guy that seemed to know what he was doing. All in all, I would definitely recommend this shop if you are close. It's not actually close to me normally so I doubt I will be back but only because it's not close to me.

Car trouble is never fun and trips to the mechanic could be rather nerve wracking. However, the store manager Karen and the knowledgeable tech Mike took great care of my little family’s Chevy Cruze (coil pack and spark plugs). I’m grateful for empathic employees in these post covid times. Thank you.

I am from Out of town and my tire was going flat. Picked up a screw along the way. They were a little busy. Karen was absolutely the best. The tech that fixed my tire was so kind and got it fixed in a timely manner. Thank you both. Best service I seen in a long time.

Karen was friendly and professional. Got me in and out with very little wait time.

Karen, the manager, was so amazing. After I ignorantly ran over a curb in the worse way possible, damaging axle, ball joint etc., she and her team showed efficiency ,understanding, and compassion. they really do care. it was an excellent experience and so far, the car drives better, tighter than before!

Karen went above and beyond to make sure my car was ready by the end of the day! An unexpected problem with my tire locks caused a delay and Karen searched e very supplier she could find to get a new key and was able to get my car back to me in great time. James, the technician did a great job fixing my steering coupler and my car rides like new! Thanks Pep Boys!

The Pep Boys location off Lafayette Rd. has given me the worst experience ever. They took over 3 weeks longer than promised to repair my car, they did not repair everything that was promised, my car was dead when I picked it up, no one explained any findings from the inspection, no one called the number I left to have my car picked up when it was ready, all the workers were uncoordinated, the entire shop is a mess! I will not be coming back. I'm extremely disappointed that I have problems each time I come. Absolutely ridiculous. And all just to get a 5% discount. A true embarrassment to the Pep Boys name.

Heard a noise while driving. Took the car to Pep Boys and they got us in immediately. They assessed the situation and made the necessary repair. Would visit this location again.

Wasted time. I made an appointment for Sunday, only to drive all the way there to find the store closed. The funny thing is they have this huge banner above the workshop bay door that says "OPEN SUNDAYS".

Great honest and fair service!

We had a great experience. My car was towed in with a flat tire the day after Christmas. They were very busy, but told me they would get my tire fixed that day. My car was done when promised. They made it super quick and easy process.

Fast, efficient and affordable. Guys inside were fun and helped pass the time easier. Will definitely be back!

Felt taken advantage of. Didn’t provide me no info on vehicle and kept it for a full day when it was just supposed to be a FREE service. But ended up with 100 out of my pocket. Very displeased. Was told I was gonna pay something either way. Terrible.

Really kind staff that helped me in a pinch! I am grateful that they were able to help me so quickly and I was in and out in a few minutes.

The shop was open on a Sunday, on Christmas Eve, and fixed our flat tire in about 30 minutes. Really, really appreciated their being open and able to help us out of a jam.

Always friendly and helpful...Willing to take the time to explain!

Made appointment online and had installation price set for my daughter’s first set of tires. When she left she paid $169 more than she should have. Advice- send your daughter to a more reputable shop where they don’t rip off young women. Cross Pep Boys off the list. lesson learned.

The Manger was rude and unprofessional. Tried to get me to accept the amount they wanted to charge me for the damages done to my lug nuts etc

The location was stripped down to just service, no shop. Short staffed, not a fault of their own, but made scheduling service within certain time frames difficult. That plus online service via website was not pertaining to the location. So if you set something up online, there's a chance the location won't have what you need. But the staff they did have were friendly and courteous. Just seems like a company spread problem, a shame really.

The manager was extremely helpful. Gave me a great deal on tires. Was in and out quickly. Have also had an alignment done there also. The quality and turn around time is consistent. Would highly recommend!

There is no follow-up after the service if it is not successful
