Never again! I agree with some of the other reviews. They LOOK for things to run up your bill. I…read moretook my car there for an inspection and they said i needed new wiper blades. I put new blades on 2 months ago because they weren't working. I know they were fine because it rained a lot last week. My entire family used to take our cars there to try to support a local business. After they overcharged several of my family members none of us take our cars there. The former owner Sam was honest. The current owners are not

We took our car in for inspection. They told my husband that the rear brake caliper was seized and…read morethey recommended a new caliper. The brakes were working just fine for us so we declined the service. We took the rear tire off and discovered that the issue wasn't the entire caliper, it was the E-Brake cable bracket. A little PB blaster and WD-40 fixed it right up. They wanted to charge us $600+ for something that was fixed for $8. Overall, they LOOK for something to charge you for in order to pass inspection. Only go here if you want to be scammed. Edit in response to business response: The brake cable connects to a bracket on the outside of the caliper (picture included). This bracket is attached to a physical cable in order separate this actuation method from the brake pedal which works via hydraulic actuation. When we received the vehicle, the brake cable was unattached so I think that's what you mean by "much better condition". The bracket was also stuck in the open position. Therefore it was not engaging the caliper in order to compress the brake pads against the rotor. This was verified by viewing the caliper actuation when the brake pedal was pressed. So I disagree strongly that it was stuck in the on position for the entirety of the inspection. In fact, in the pictures sent to me, you can clearly see it's in the open position. It was obvious to me that the caliper was in working order and the problem lie elsewhere. The jiggling handle went away after I re-attached the brake cable. So I guess I should thank you for diagnosing it, but not for trying to sell me a replacement when all it needed was a repair. I agree it wouldn't and shouldn't pass inspection before some penetrating oil was sprayed on the bracket. I'd also like to add that the person who explained the problem to me barely knew anything about the issue when questioned on specifics. All I got was "it's seized". This was another indicator that there was a severe gap in knowledge for some of your technicians and I needed to scrutinize the result. I am a car enthusiast, engineer, and have rebuilt the front end on my Cooper. I know what I'm talking about.

This Pep Boys location is different ... The guys that run this shop are just awesome. They are busy…read morebut ... isnt that a good thing? If a shop is not busy ... there is a reason for it (because they suck) Bill the manager is awesome and takes pride in the work that comes out of his shop. I drive past 15 other shops to bring my business here. Brought them a set of fresh painted wheels with the plea to be careful not to scratch the paint for a tire mounting and balance... Not a single nick or scratch from the guys here. Pep boys in general can be sketchy ... this place is the exception.

I came here for an oil change and tire rotation. Brad at the front desk was very friendly and…read morehonored the $25 coupon I had found online. I was in the waiting area for about an hour (I was a walk-in) and they had a TV hooked up to a Roku for entertainment. Unfortunately the tire tech left grease stains on the steering wheel, driver's seat, and interior driver's door, presumably when he drove my car in and out of the service bay. Despite this I will probably continue to visit this location because I they offer 50% off oil changes for healthcare workers on Wednesdays. UPDATE: I am updating my review to two stars. The tire technician did not use a torque wrench, so when I later went to a mechanic for maintenance, the mechanic had to use eight feet of pipe to remove the lug nuts. This (unsurprisingly) destroyed the lug nuts and I had to front the replacement cost. Brad keeps two stars because he refunded me for the services I received at this locations. I will also be contacting pep boys in an effort to be reimbursed for the cost of the new lug nuts.
