Pep Boys Reviews
William
Incompetent engine repair service
I had my truck towed to a Pep boys shop because it overheated and cut off. The reported that it needed a replacement hose and fresh coolent. That was $500.00. I started the truck and it was running very badly. I went back into the shop. The checked it with a diagnosis scanner. Then I was told that it needed a tune up. That should have been done at the same time as they replaced the hose. The had to schedule the tune up for the following morning. The next afternoon I arrived while going to work. I and was told that they had not gotten the job done. Wednesday morning I had a message on my mobile that they had found a small leak in the intake manifold and would need to order a new one. I work every day and am taking Lyfts to and from work. It costs fifty dollars each way. But I have to be at work. A week ago I spoke with the manager and he said that the part would be here in a couple of days. Monday arrived. No manifold. Wednesday got here and they sent a message stating that they could patch the manifold until the new one arrives. I asked why they didn't suggest that a week ago. They said that it would be ready in around an hour. I arrived at the shop an hour later the took the truck from the parking lot back into the garage. I was told that they were checking to make sure the seal was good. Over an hour later they pulled the truck to the front door. I jumped in and cranked it up. It wasn't running any better and definitely wasn't drivable. The engine shut down right there. They then informed me that was of the cylinders was dead and the engine would have to be replaced. It didn't just go bad since it was pulled from the garage to the front door. They couldn't explain why a five hundred dollar hose was put on a bad engine or why it also needed a tune up. They then told me that the new manifold they ordered wouldn't help. But they informed me that I wouldn't be charged for the tune up.avoid Pep Boys. I haven't received much interest from their customer service yet. I told the manager that I would not use them again. He said cool. I told the counter guy that I would leave bad feedback for this shop. He said that he didn't care.find a good shade tree mechanic.

My Vechicle
This is going to be the 5th time in a month that I have too take my car to Pep Boys in Biloxi Mississippi. I just got it out of the shop 3 weeks ago and I am still having the same issue that I had when I first took it in. My car is stalling out. I have paid Pep Boys over 1300.00 dollars to fix my vechicle and it is not fixed. Not to mention having to take Uber to and from work. I want my vechicle fixed and I will not pay for it. It is going to have to be towed because it is stalling out. This is ridiculous. I feel like I have been taken advantage of because I am a women. Mechanics think women are stupid. I can assure you I am not. I have receipts to prove how much I have paid this company to fix my vechicle. Any help you can give me on this would be appreciated. Thank you

Complaint
I went to pep boys in December of 2022 to get an oil change, only to find out the tech that did the oil change didn't put the plug in correct and all my oil leaked out. My car detected there was no oil in the motor and shut off. After refilling the motor with oil, of course all the oil was leaked out by that morning. I went back to the location and the manager apologized and fixed it giving me 2 free oil changes. I went to another pep boys location and the granted the free oil change, only this time they loose my center cap to my right tire when I arrived with all my center caps prior to the oil change. I called as soon as I saw this and spoke with the manager to find a solution. The manager grated to replace the center cap taking responsibility of the damage. Somehow I am unable to receive my center cap still since the part has been on back order for now going on 2 months. At this point I don't want apologies, I want my car fixed!! Till current date I still don't have my center cap and continue to get the run around. Horrible experience and I will not be using pep boys services anymore or recommend their work to anyone. Issue is still unresolved and might not know when this would be fixed. Looks like I have to take a loss on this and replace the part myself!

Overpriced. Took way too long and poor customer service

Your story 173 didn’t do all the free check I ask for. I came In for ABS break light on, I have a bmw 320i 2014. They said nothing wrong. I need breaks on 4 wheels. The could kill me
Your store 173 could have gotten me killed!!! Out of country till January 3 , what management from Florida pet-boys to call me
William
They never did the work right at store 173
They should have never did the nod if they couldnt compete it, they never did any of the free checks twice after I asked them too, after paying you $600 I still have to get my car fixed. I call 3 times, and the store 173 keeps closing the case. An no one in customer care ever call me back

Battery
Went to Pep Boys found out my battery was low from my Ford dealership. I had purchased my last two batteries at your Pep Boys store in Las Cruces. No information on me and buying my battery there. No longer have your parts store there and couldnt help me unless I had a receipt. Gave me at one800 number to call and they were no help.

View your cameras, your employee broke the cover under my hood of my car
Original review Nov 18, 2022
Your employee pulled my car to the garage after about 15 minutes he called me to the car and said the cover that covers the engine was broke. When he raised up the hood, so I asked to view the camera because my car was not broke the day before I had my oil checked by my neighbor thats how I found out I need an oil change ,and I was standing right there when my neighbor was done checking and that cover was not broke. Your employee broke the cover under my hood, and I asked to view the cameras, and was denied.

Overcharged on billing
Hello I had my brakes done at PEPBOYS in Hollywood in Nov 2021 sorry I tried contacting Consumer Affairs first . The business locations is actually closed now But they charged me 2,000 for brakes . The breaks were still squeaking and I only used the car since then to move it for street cleaning . I went to pursue getting a oil change and the brakes were so loose as if not anything was done.

Original review Oct 24, 2022
$1015 for brakes pad and rotor replacement? $500 for oil pan and gasket replacement. --this all at pepboys Fairless Hills well ignorance is bliss --found that these are robbery prices-- Later found the dealer would be happy to do brakes for 900 and another service station quoted 800 As for pan, it is a case of textbook price gouzing

Scam period
Original review Sep 12, 2022
Had Pep Boys install a new battery, did not do it correctly and within a couple of weeks auto would not start. Had to get a jump. Took into Pep Boys to make sure did not have bad battery and charging system was working. They said all ok, however, needed a new connection on battery terminal as it was corroded. OK, so order it. A couple of weeks later still was not it, however, they charged me for part and charged double for installation. Still no part, but they insist on payment. FACT is the battery connection was just loose and since tightened down, zero issues. I called and told them to cancel the order, as of my call they had still not received. STILL are demanding payment, some 3 months later.
