Horrible horrible horrible. Please never go to this shop. They took forever with a simple repair to milk the service hours. Guys standing around slap boxing and giving each other pounds. Terrible service and a waste of time. read more

Do not go to Pep Boys on sunrise highway in Baldwin New York manager Abdul is rude. Disrespectful told me I was stupid and they damage my wheels. Tires are no good. Car is wobbling on the highway took it there three times. Could not fix. Ask for my old tires back and he told me no very disrespectful place including the employees. Take your business really respect you. read more

Must say the leave of professionalism experience at this location is next to none other that I have been to. From the attention to detail to the humbleness of the staff truely made a stressful situation a lot easier. highly recommend , do ask for Abdul the service manager he is always eager to make sure each and every customer is taking care of with no prejudice. My car needed an oil change and while getting the oil change I asked to be humored to put some new rims on my car and they did not hesitate . However the rims was too large so they had to take them off . They worked fast and informed me on how I could fix my current issue. So thanks Ryan and Abdul: read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced anywhere. If you want good customer service avoid this place . I will say the corporate office was very helpful with my complaint. The manger Abdool and Christian 2 thumbs down . In fact I don't ever plan on visiting another Pep Boys after my experience in this location. read more

If you want to be underwhelmed and overcharged then this is your Pep Boys! The service desk attendant, who also appeared to be the manager, was arrogant and impertinent. Read the numerous 1-star reviews and take them seriously if you value your time and vehicle. Spend your hard-earned money at an establishment that deserves your business. read more

I requested an oil change and tire rotation. Within 15 minutes they told me I need rear brakes and brake fluid drain and replacement at a cost of approx $700. I told them no thank you but they could proceed with requested service. I definitely got the impression that they don't like dealing with women as the tone was very condescending. When the car was ready they told me that the tire rotation could not be done because the lug nuts were too tight and were on wrong and they would need to replace all of them. I told them that they were the last ones to do tire rotation and I had the receipt in the car. They told me the lug nuts tighten as you drive. I questioned this and got a nasty attitude back. . I also asked them how they checked the brakes without even removing the tire and they said they could see through the wheel. I feel like this was an attempt to jack up the price. I had the tires rotated the next day at Costco and they said there was no problem with the lug nuts. I also had the brakes checked by a real mechanic and they do not need replacement. Also while waiting in the customer seating area I was subjected to listening to their conversations at the desk which included cursing, sexist comments and general conversation that is not appropriate for a workplace, especially next to the customer waiting area. Corporate was contacted. read more

Awful customer service. I called to see if I could have a brake light changed while I waited. I was told sure, bring it in. I brought it in 10 minutes later and was told it was a long wait. When I asked why they told me they could fix it while I waited just a few minutes before, the guy smiles and said I never told you how long you would have to wait Thanks but I'll go elsewhere read more

While I'm almost always reluctant to rate a business poorly, some places make it easy for me to do so. From a customer service perspective, this Pep Boys location has failed time and time again over the years. I'll skip past the details of all the times I had to wait excruciatingly long hours for routine oil changes. I'll even avoid mentioning all of the apathetic employees that I've encountered over the years (starting now). I really just want to focus on my final three visits to this place. My last third-to-last visit to this Pep Boys was for an oil change and an inspection. I only had to wait an hour and a half in that depressing waiting area before I was summoned back to the service desk. I was told that the car failed its inspection due to the window tints being too dark. It was a hassle, but I got the tints removed at a nearby tinting place the following week. During my second-to-last visit, I found myself waiting in the same desolate waiting area for about 40 minutes, waiting to get the good news that my car had finally passed inspection. Much to my surprise, my car had once again failed inspection due to there being tint over the third brake light on the rear glass. Puzzled as to why that wasn't specified after the first inspection, I took my car back to the tinting place and had the rear glass tint taken care of as well. My final visit to this Pep Boys was, to my great relief, a success. Initially, I was told that the complex process of putting on a new inspection sticker would take an hour and a half, but when I asked if they could possibly do that colossal task a bit faster, they reduced the estimated time to 30 minutes. After paying the additional $10 to finally have to sticker slapped on, I left Pep Boys for the final time. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1 star is because I didn't die of frustration, as I thought I would during my last visit. Small victories, I guess. read more

Do I really need to give this a star? My honey and I had gone to have his SUV inspected. My honey is very obsessed about taking care of his car and checks everything before he brings it in for inspection. After waiting 3 hours, they found $400 worth of repairs including $22.00 for a light bulb. He looked over the bill and all the parts were doubled in price, plus they charged a hefty price for installation. We were exhausted from all the waiting, and so he decided to just let them do the work, rather than have a 10 day permit and have to start all over again, plus the $37.50 again for re-inspection and our time and aggravation. Never, ever again will we bring our cars here. Please read this as having negative four stars. read more

I use a company owned car and I am responsible to maintain and take it in for maintenance and repairs. I am limited to where I can go because of the leasing company. So I have to take it to some big chain place that accepts their payments. Don't know how or why an Oil change takes 3 hours here. Or replacing a battery involves leaving it overnight. Or changing a tire is 4 hours. While waiting over an hour for an oil change I walked outside and around and saw the mechanics just standing around doing nothing. I went back inside and asked how long and the guy said "does it matter aren't you getting paid to sit here and wait" Thankfully my company changed the lease plan and we are able to take it to jiffy lube where it takes them 30 minutes or less. read more

Wish I could give this place NO STARS. I dropped my car off with a busted brake line, and pep boys called me and found $800 worth of "necessary" repairs, I kindly said thanks but no thanks I'll pick my car up. Took my car to a another place, and guess what, my brake line ended up costing me $100....buyer beware, these guys are scam artist read more

I'll preface this by saying that the Service Manager is a good guy. He did the right thing by me and I wish I could remember his name so that I could thank him. That being said, Pep boys is a total SHIT SHOW. I had a leak in my tire so I made a service appointment online for 7:00 pm. Arrived early at 6:30 pm, was told they can't take the car yet. Fine. 7:30 pm...car still hasn't gone in. They finally take the car in around 7:40 pm. I'm looking at it through the service window just sitting there in the garage. It's now 8:00 pm. Patching a damaged tire should take all of 20 minutes. I've been here an hour and a half. (I should add that multiple people were waiting for their cars for hours, and no one's work seemed to be getting completed) I get the car back around 8:20 pm. 2 hours of my life gone forever...but hey, at least it's fixed right? Wake up the next morning...SAME TIRE IS GOING FLAT. I have to take the car back to Pep Boys at 8:00 AM, Service Manager finds the hole that they obviously MISSED the night before (because the tire is deflating at the same speed it was deflating at the previous day), but he tries to tell me it's A NEW LEAK. Wants to charge me AGAIN...C'MON MAN... **THE ONLY REASON THIS WASN'T A 1 STAR REVIEW (AND A CORPORATE COMPLAINT TO PEP BOYS) IS THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER ENDED UP DOING THE RIGHT THING. HE DIDN'T CHARGE ME TWICE. HE FIXED THE TIRE.** That being said, I'm not sure I'd ever go back to Pep Boys. Overall it's just a miserable place, no one (customers or employees) seem content to be there, and judging by the other Yelp reviews, the work they do is pure shit. Find yourself a trustworthy garage and avoid this place. read more

I've been here with many friends over the years, only because I'm a good friend, though I refuse to bring my car to this dump for any reason. If you want an oil change, especially if there is an advertised sale, you will still be overcharged even after you member card is rung in. If you have a nail in your tire, they will still try to tell you that you need to purchase 2 new tires, no matter what. They will recommend 3 other services that you are not interested in, no matter how firmly you tell them YOU ONLY NEED ONE THING. If you for some strange reason, decide to let them rotate your tires or perform some ridiculous service that you don't need just because they said it would be free, it will not be free and they will use any excuse to try and scam your money. The last time I was here, a friend needed a tire plugged due to a piece of glass. He told us to come back in 2 hours. Wow. We had no choice but to wait because the tire was leaking air badly. 3 hours later, they were still not done. The employee at the desk could not help us ring up and go home because he was trying to explain to a teenager and her 2 elderly relatives that they lost their car keys and thought perhaps the employee left their keys underneath the seat of someone else's car, whom had already left. I wish this was a joke. It never gets better here. read more

Could these people appear any less interested??? Came in for a NYS inspection. 1 1/2 hours later and now they just took my car in. No eye contact throughout. No smile. No care. Ughhhh...thank god it's only once a year. read more

I called ahead and was told Tuesdays and Wednesday are the slowest days. When I arrived I was told it would take an hour for a basic oil change. Meh. Since it had taken 30 mins to get there I figured I didn't have much of a choice. At an hour and 15 mins I inquired how much longer it would be, when I was told "he is going to start it now, and crack it out in 20 mins" WOW! Don't waste your time at this place, worst customer service. read more

Needed a new tire for my Civic, so I stopped in an hour before a nearby doctor's appointment and asked about a tire. The clerk proudly announced that it would be a two hour wait. A sign out front said that they would open at ten on Easter so I showed up at 10:05 and saw eight people lined up ahead of me at the desk and nobody there. Even as a retired person my time is more valuable than that. read more

Ronald is the man! He gives out the discounts, I got my brakes done and instead of 580.00 for front and rear brake pads and rotors he did not give me 50% off he gave to me for 65% off with full synthetic oil change for FREE! Thank again Ronald never forget the discount. read more

A dead car battery meant an early morning visit to my local Pep Boys. They took care of me quickly and professionally. Strolled through the store while I waited for the work to be done and the store is clean and well stocked with auto related items from headlamp bulbs to mudflaps. They also carry every type of air freshner you could need because maybe your gassy from dinner at Chipotle and you can't help it if sour cream, beans and spicy chicken didn't sit right. read more

It is incredible how they wait almost two hours for an oil change and in the end they charge so much money for something that they have not done they charge me for a complete oil change service and when I check if the filter has been changed I find the same filter wow are they liars and that's called stealing they rob people of their time and money read more

I needed a tire replacement quickly and Rayon and team were fantastic and really saved the day. Highly recommend this location

I brought my car in to get a tie change. They told me they would call when it's done (I did offer to leave it there instead of waiting) but the service guy said he would call me.... 2 hours later... Nothing... I continued to wait... Nothing... The next day they opened at 8 or 9 (I forgot) .... Not a call.... So I called them and complained that I did not get a call and I asked if it was done. It took him 4 minutes to finally come back to the phone and he told me it was done. I asked him when it was completed because I've been waiting to come pick it up and they did not have a time... Poor customer service read more

I took my car there for a state inspection. They were very professional and had me in and out in less than an hour. Service Manager Abdool was very thorough and explained everything to me read more

Ok...I go there for a simple inspection. I'm in the waiting area for about 20 minutes and an associate comes in and asks me for my wheel lock key. I go to my car and get it for him. Another 20 or so minutes go by and I get my car back. When I get inside I noticed that my glove box was emptied and thrown about, my door cargo area was rummaged through, as well as my center console. Their answer, they were looking for my key....I was in the waiting room 10 feet away why not ask me initially???? Instead you go through my stuff? And leave the contents on my passenger seat? Unbelievable! read more

Use to be my favorite place to take my car. Sadly they failed me. Bought new tires 9 months ago and now one of the has a bubble on the side. They won't replace something that is obviously a manufacture defect. read more

I came in with a punctured tire. Took a little bit of time but the staff was helpful and friendly. Popped on a few new tires and I was all set. Thanks :) read more

They screwed up a simple oil and filter change. Left out the O-ring on the filter, oil squirted over half the engine bay, and lost half the oil they put in. Would not come to check the car and oil puddle in my driveway. Opened a case with corporate and no response after days to refunding my money. Had to have the car towed to another station to correct. WILL NEVER GO BACK. read more

I just went to auto zone they gave a reading print out and told me it was a misfired didn't take two hours to figure this out. I myself plugged the reader and told me within one minute what was wrong. Before you take it to any place I suggest go to auto zone. read more

Way to lose business telling me the computer won't let you put in a conventional oil change. I don't want synthetic, I get trying to up sell but to tell me that the computer won't let u put it in so rather than get any business you lost business. PLUS word of mouth, I will be telling others the horrible customer service given. Never again, yes sir you're right I rather take it to a little corner shop. Horrified with this place! read more

Got there early. Price was good and service prompt and professional. Special shout out to the guy who changed all 4 tires--Phillip. Thanks again for making it fast and stress-free. read more

I brought my Car in for an oil change, I had a scheduled appointment. I never took my eyes off my car while it was being serviced. I watched the mechanic put it up on the lift. I saw him move the giant funnel and catch can for the old oil under my car. I saw him take out the oil pan plug and the old oil drain into the large catch can. I never once moved or took my eyes off my car. The mechanic then put the plug back in and lowered the car. He filled the car with a jug of oil pumped from a large drum. It turns out it was the wrong oil he put in. My car had 28,000. miles on it. They put in high mileage oil? I specified semi synthetic. I dont know what thats about? He then checked the level of the oil and closed the hood. But wait a second whats missing from this oil change? Exactly, he never removed the oil filter cartridge from under the hood where its located. I noticed right away and immediately told the person working at the counter. He went in the shop, spoke to the mechanic and then brought the manger into the shop area too. They all talked, and then the mechanic opened the hood & proceeded to remove the engine cover and located the oil filter cartridge cap. He then went and got a ratchet and removed the dirty filter cartridge from the canister. It was pitch black and well used. Now notice, if the car was not even started yet and already had a new filter in it; it would have shown up as a still new white or a yellow filter element. They never intended to change my filter, but I caught them, so they did reluctantly. I dont know how often they pull this stunt on people. But I was pissed. The manager, never spoke to me about it and the guy at the counter said he was unavailable. I also had discount coupons, I told the guy what I paid last time and he lied to me about the bills too. I have all my receipts in a file for the past 4 years using pepboys. Im deeply disappointed with this experience and most likely will not be a return customer any longer. Dont bother with using this place for service, try Jiffy Lube instead it may be the same price as Pepboys but aleast they will honestly change your oil and your oil filter. read more

Management at this location is non-existent. Guy seems more interested in running around the parking lot monitoring whats going on outside rather than inside. Inside people appear to have morale problems. Glad I dont work here and I certainly wont shop here. read more

I usually don't like to leave a bad review for a business but pep boys in Freeport really made it easy. Scheduled an appointment for oil change at 4pm and its now 5pm and my car is still sitting in the parking lot. I'm the only one sitting in the waiting room. The people at the front desk are useless! They keep asking me about my jeep when I have a Honda accord! Why take an appointment if you can't keep it? You make an appointment at jiffy lube and they come out in the parking lot and bring your car right in. Would have never made this appointment if I had known I'd be sitting here for an hour and still looking at my car in the parking lot. I think it's safe to say I will not be coming back to this shit hole. If you think making an appointment would be more easier and convenient for you think again. read more

Worst place I've ever been to. I went to get an alignment today 8/24/17. I was there when the store opened at 7:30am. My car is the only on there for an alignment. I was told to come back at 12 because I don't have an appointment. This place is the worst read more

Good deal on tires. Service was quick and efficient and so was notification of completion. Friendly staff.

I'm just another person adding to the bad reviews of Pep Boys was there tonight an hour before closing no customers in sight they refused to fix my leaky tire. I called before I went to the store that I was coming in and was assured they would fix the tire. So disgusting having to drive there 20 minutes and back terrible workers there. I had to tap a star to post this review what a joke they get no stars here. read more

yeah so I went in last Thursday luckily I had my friend t Nikki they call him in Baldwin best mechanic with me in front seat . They took my donut off very aggressively he claims and he doesn't lie having a business for 7 years in the Baldwin region . it's just not fair being that my ex wife and my kids used to live in Baldwin I like to give back to the community . With that being said u guys lost my business and my membership card as well . Looks like I'll be a frequent Costco member now read more

This place is a joke. A complete waste of my time. I usually take my car here explicitly for oil changes and have been wary to have other things done. Usually they get me in and out in about an hour or so, no problems. But recently I've needed an alignment, and with Pep Boys being the closest and convenient place to my house I said why not right? They haven't failed me yet despite being aware of all the terrible reviews and things everyone has told me about this location. Well here we go, so I take my car in there and say I need an alignment, it's about 5pm, forgot if it was Christian or Abdool but they told me it wouldn't even be until around 8pm until they could get me in. He told me come back in the morning, So I said fine I get it I'll come back. Come back the next morning at 9:15am, and it apparently can't be done until 1pm. At this point I'm kinda annoyed but can't be that upset since I never made an appointment. So I said you know what? I'll just make an appointment for TOMORROW then, 9am. Should be fool proof right?? Wrong. I get back there for the THRID TIME in four days expecting to get in and out with my appointment and this is when it really gets good. I walk in and get behind the only lady in line at the service desk. One advisor helps her out and I overhear she's getting two new tires and an alignment. They get her in no problem, then a new service guy who wasn't at the desk when she was being helped comes out. He tells me the alignment machine is down and cant get it done until this afternoon and he has no idea exactly how long. At this point I'm furious and am confused because the lady in front of me was clearly getting an alignment on her car, albeit the two new tires. Also, if someone has an appointment for an alignment and the alignment machine is down, wouldn't it be a smart thing to call the customer and tell them that so they don't come in? Completely unprofessional. It just sounds fishy to me, and I'm annoyed that I woke up early to get my car taken in even after two attempts of getting work done. I'm giving up on this place literally don't even go there for an oil change unless it's your last resort! Went to Freeport tire and literally walked in for my first time off the street and they had my car on the alignment rack in 5 mins. Finally some good service around here. read more

I just came here to get tires to pass NYS inspection. The service advisor called and allegedly discovered all these other issues including the removal of the factory tint on the rear windows!!Just to note the car was previously checked by another mechanic who said the car just needed tires!!! Nevertheless the held the new inspection sticker hostage because I refused all of the other non-safety related work. Never coming here again or any other PepBoys. Robbery at its finest. read more
