    waiting room
    Dave K.

    Just like some recent reviewers have mentioned, I'm surprised by how bad the reviews on here were, that did not match my experience at all. I choose pep boys simply because they had the best deal on the tires I wanted for my car. Starting a story like this usually ends with me being disappointed b/c of uncharges, or poor service, or being given a hard sell. None of that happened here. I initially made my appointment for 8am, hoping to be the first one in and get the work done before I had to go to work. Unfortunately, when I spoke to the shop, they mentioned that the online system was wrong and that they don't generally take appointments before 9:30 because they want the extra time to finish any jobs from the prior day. Would have been nice if the online system knew this, but at least they told me before I showed up, so points for good customer service there. I showed up about 15 min prior to my appointment was was checked in very efficiently by the person working the desk. She was friendly but gave me the not-so-welcome news that even though my appointment was for 9:30, they like to allow a couple hrs for service and that It may not be until noon when they are ready for me to get my car. Unfortunately, I had nowhere else to go as I had been planning to just go to work late once the service had been done. I settled into their waiting room figuring I would just hope for the best. In another unexpected turn, the car before mine took them a little longer than anticipated and my car didn't get started on until almost 10am. Only a 30min delay, and they were apologetic, so no big deal. I was able to see them working on my car through the window. Although the service took a lot longer than I would have expected (aprox a full hour) I could see that they were working the whole time, and we doing a very thorough and professional job. In the end, I was out about an hour before the noon estimate. At the end they took my payment and alerted me that my breaks were in need of a service. They didn't hard sell me, they didn't say it needed to be done then and there. They were more professional and less pushy than almost any repair shop I have ever dealt with. TLDR: Great experience, great service, don't expect them to do a super quick job, but they will do it professionally within a reasonable period of time.

    Sloppy grease
    James B.

    Ok service and sloppy work. I had a simple tire replacement. They changed the out ok but left all four tires a very dirty mess with white grease all over them. I was in a hurry and it was freezing so I didn't inspect the work before leaving. If they can't even clean up brand new tires to look nice before giving it back to rhe customer then what other things are they not doing right?

    Living on their laurels

    Living on their laurels is not a good thing. At some point one has to live up to their reputation. Wish someone would let PepBoys in Catonsville know this. Can't tell customers one thing then do another. If you don't have enough workers close up shop and go home. Customer service is still King!

    Repaired Tire - Less than $10 and about 10 minutes Stay away from Pep Boys

    I wrote earlier of a miserable experience with the predatory fraudsters at a Pep Boys Store located at 6515 Baltimore National Pike, Baltimore, MD 21228. After my first review, I received this note (via email on January 31, 2021) "We apologize for the poor experience you had. Please send us your contact info and the details...." I wrote and received another email on February 4, 2021 "Thank you for reaching out to us. We do apologize for the poor experience. "We can file a case on your behalf to be reviewed by Senior Management in which you will be contacted within 48 hours..." I informed Pep Boys again and commented that I had already sent the details previously. All attempts to call have failed. No one has called me. At 5 AM 2/7/21, a poorly note from someone name L.Z. stated, " Thank you for your email, we spoke to you over the phone and filed case # ********* which was resolve at the senior management level." No one has spoken to me, no. one has called me, no one from Pep Boys 6515 Baltimore National Pike, Baltimore, MD 21228 has attempted to resolve a thing. PepSocial (I guess a corporate entity) adds to the attempted fraud by lying about a resolution and contact with me. The people who have written have no command of communication and make no solid points. They obfuscate all truth and pretend they will help with a resolution to the attempted fraud upon me. In summary, Pep Boys, from franchisee to corporate work, in concert to defraud customers and obfuscate the truth.

    Do not get your car serviced here if you value your vehicle. The repair turnaround time is…read moreextremely long, and aspects of the service process left me uncomfortable with how vehicle and keys are handled. I have witnessed concerns about the possibility of unauthorized access or key duplication after servicing. I would strongly advise others to use caution and consider alternative service locations.

    I had a previous terrible review posted for Caton Auto. It was a fair, accurate review and I stand…read moreby it (I will post it at the end). However, eventually I complained enough that they "unretired" a general manager who seemed the only one to understand how to address warranty issues and they agreed to repair my vehicle. It took a year to get the warranty honored and to be heard. Let that sink in- a year. And they had to "unretire" a person to get customer service to happen. Crazy. So I scheduled almost a month in advance. It still took them three days with minimal communication and maybe I'm just bitter but I am very surprised the unretired general manager (Mr. Kenny, if you're wondering who it is) never contact me again to see why I was frustrated about the length of time it was taking. Or to see if the problem was finally resolved. Or to see if I'd change my reviews. So, I am happy to report they honored the warranty but I would never recommend these guys unless you're desperate. If you're a woman, I would recommend you drive away as fast as your car can go.
