We waited 4 hours for them to put on 4 new tires that not only ended up being deflated but they didn't even tighten the bolts on one of the tires. EVERY single bolt was loose on the back left one. if we hadn't noticed when we did the tire could've came off on the highway on my moms way to work. It could have potentially caused harm to my family or others. if I were you I would take my money else where. They don't seem to care about their customers or the SAFETY of their customers. read more

Absolutely Horrible. I made an 11:00am appointment to have a battery installed. I told them that I would wait for it to be done. Two hours later they still had not even looked at my car. When I inquired, they took it into the bay. Still no visit from the technician or the counter person to let me know what was going on. Finally I asked again and they said that I need a new battery. I knew that, that's why I made the appointment in the first place. It took them 3 hours to install a battery, with absolutely no consideration for my time, when they knew I was waiting. I would strongly suggest no one ever visit this place. Let them go out of business. The worst service imaginable. read more

This location of pep boys led me down the most blatant and disgusting bait and switch I have been exposed to in the industry, quoting me hundreds less than what the service ended up costing. The upcharge in service was not stated until my car was already in the process of the service. On top of that, they delayed my appointment by 3 hours and had not even started! They did not resolve the issue, sent me a blank inspection report so I do not even know what work was effective or ineffective to the problem, and now management is dodging calls and refusing to make the issue right. I have spent hundreds of dollars only to be at square one. Do not trust them with your vehicle!! read more

This place is a joke. I waited 6 hours to have my tires replaced. Had an appointment at 11:30am, was told it would take 1.5 - 2 hours to complete, that's longish for tires but I was ok waiting. After 2 hours was told I was told my car was next up. It wasn't. Every hour I checked in only to be told by 3 different employees, oh your car is next up. It must be their default line. My car was never next up. 5 hours later they still hadn't even looked at it. I got my car back after 6 hours waiting there from 11:30am to 5:30pm. Never go here! read more

Made an 8 AM appointment for tire installation + alignment. Got there early, dropped off car for what I was told would be about 2 hrs. Returned in an hour to see my car still in the parking lot. Was told no tire technicians had come in yet(!) They had my number & could have let me know about the delay. Took my tires (pre-purchased from Tire Rack) with me and made an appointment with my local mechanic. Same price there. read more

I've been waiting 4 1/2 hours for a tire replacement that I had an appointment for. I was told 2 hours ago that the technician was going on a lunch break for 30 minutes and would be working on my car immediately after. I just called and was told it would be another hour and a half which will all told will make the waiting 6 hours total. Short staffed or not, this is unacceptable. read more

Completely incompetent, ignorant, unprofessional, and rude. STAY AWAY. Had an appointment for a tire rotation. Assistant manager tried to lecture me that the staff had 35 years of experience and knew what they were doing. Then they refused to do the job because the mechanics felt "uncomfortable' pressing 2 buttons on the dashboard which needed to be pressed according the manufacturer before any 'jacking' up. A toddler can press 2 buttons, but your 'highly trained staff with 35 years experience' is too incompetent to do that. Wasted 45 minutes driving to the location and another 45 minutes driving home. Completely useless. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. I repeat, STAY AWAY! read more

When they replaced my tires, they broke all 4 hubcaps. Recently, i went there on a Sunday for a new thermostat and they destroyed my radiator which now needs to be replaced. read more

Another horrendous experience. They took 4 hours to tell me I needed new brakes. They wanted over a thousand dollars. Stay away far away.

Awful..3 hrs for 2 tires when I had an appointment. Then ended up almost stranded with a flat cause valve stem was leaking. Balance was not right. Also the kid doing the job had no idea what he was doing..took him 20 mn to get tire off rim. Put q of my new tires on someone else's rim and broke my hubcap. Then come up with some bs excuse to not do my alignment cause the kid had no idea what he was doing...I watched him the whole time..I should've recorded him and put it on tick toc it was so comical but not funny Cause it wasy whip! Went back at 9 next morning, no mechanics was in so had to wait znother hr and a half for anyone to even show up for work. stay away from these clowns read more

I made an appointment online for lifting services specifically as it said they do those, and when I got there, the service manager said they don't do those at Pep Boys after taking awhile to even find my appointment and said he's from Rhode Island, so he doesn't know and just try another Pep Boys. He was pretty rude about the whole thing and felt he was being dismissive. If you don't do something the website says specifically that you do, maybe at least be nice about it and not speak to me like I'm completely ignorant. I do most of my own restoration work but just don't have access to the equipment I normally would in the before times and didn't feel like breaking my back redoing the suspension. No way I'll ever go to another Pep Boys after that. read more

Actually Zero Stars! I chose Pep Boys for the coupon since an oil change in my BMW can be pricey. This is what I get for chasing the 30%off dream...My appointment was at 10 I was told it was going to take until 11 ok im fine with that I have to be. 5 min in I am told that they dont carry German parts/filters and they have to get it from the place down the street (since they do not have a parts store anymore!!) Ok fine no problem but I ask "will this add any time to my wait"...he says NO. Clock check: 10:55 rolls around and I look outside and notice my car is still sitting in the same spot I parked it in at 9:45 so I go to the counter to inquire about what is going on...."The store down the street did not have the part they had to get it from another one further away" It would have been nice to know that so I ask "how long" 45 MINUTES he tells Me and that the technician has to talk to me about taking off one of my tires...I am here for an oil change that should be max 20 minutes And I gave you an hour... I dont need you to attempt to man-splain a fake tire issue to upcharge me. "No thanks take it off the lift forget about it I say" Moral of the story chasing a coupon is not even a good reason to go here. My first and last time. read more

Came today with an appointment and it's been over an hour and my car hasn't been seen, and when I asked the manager tried to talk me out of an oil change even though the light is on. Next time I'll be taking my business elsewhere for sure. I know they are short staffed, but it's not right to discourage service. I guess safety and customer service aren't high priorities here. read more

Even if they offered to do all my work for free I'd still rather take my car elsewhere. Ordered tires to be installed after purchasing them online at tire rack. When I got there, the place looked like a bomb had gone off inside it and then they made me wait for two hours before they told me that they did not have the tires even after I showed them a delivery confirmation that I ordered from tire rack. In addition they refused to talk to any Tire Rack representative to resolve the issue. I left without tires. I created a yelp account solely to warn anyone that might read this. read more

Made a appointment for 1pm and there's a 2-3 hour wait. I have kids home with husband waiting on me instead of sitting around. I'll find a different place. read more

I wish we could give 0 stars. These guys are scammers. They will always find something in your car. How do I know? Well I have brand new parts and they told me I needed those parts. Kept me waiting for 4 hours when I was told it would take 30 mins to an hour. Incompetent or just a terrible place to go to. I chose to go here because of convenience but next time I will drive the extra 10 mins. Awful dont go there trust me. Terrible!!!!! read more

completely rude management and only one technician works at a great pace with efficacy. despite its location the place is severely understaffed and needs better management read more

My son took his vehicle in for a courtesy inspection of the brake system. His low brake fluid warning level message came on. The tech/hack claimed the left rear caliper was leaking along with the brake hose, and that the front brakes were "low". The caliper and hose had been replaced by me last November, and it is fairly obvious to anyone with eyes that they are fairly new. Right away, as an honest tech, you'd be advising that yes there is a leak (at the caliper only, I might add) but that considering how new the part is it likely has a warranty (which it does, lifetime by the way). Not these jackasses. They put together an estimate over $900. The front brakes are not low, the pads are wearing evenly and each one has about 7 mm of pad material. My son called me with this diagnosis, and I told him to decline the repairs, and bring the car to me (I am a retired Ford Master Technician, the car is a 2015 Ford Flex). I put the car up on my lift, and couldn't get the lug nuts off with my impact gun. I had to put the car back on the ground and use a 3 foot breaker bar on all 20 lug nuts to get them loose. Torque spec on these is 100 ft*lbs. Not cool. Here's why https://youtu.be/DA4ug4gHccM?si=xF8nQ30ERQakKX-q Sorry if the job was declined, don't offer courtesy inspections if that's how you clowns are going to behave. Sadly you can't give negative stars. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

This place sucks. My service agreement from purchasing my car unfortunately operates thru pep boys so I have to come here for service. An oil change takes 4 hours (even with an appointment), they can never find the information the need for said agreement and honestly the staff is always so frantic and never very apologetic. It's pretty ridiculous, idk what kind of appointment system they have but it's not working. You can tell that everyone in the waiting room is having a very similar, frustrating experience. Definitely do not recommend. read more

If you are in need of car service and excellent customer service, look no further! Kevin and the team do not just "fix" things, but rather provide tips, maintenance and the type of service where you leave as family. I had a scenario where I needed tires and where most places want you to purchase the most expensive tires, Kevin and his team provided me with options based on my everyday car use. Plus, Kevin served our country in the world's finest Navy! With Christian and Oscar (I believe his name), Kevin and crew truly look to provide the best customer service experience when needing car service. Do yourself a favor and check them out; you won't be disappointed. Cheers, Damien read more

Harry the Manager is SO nice. He helped me with my dead battery. Very accommodating and considerate. I would definitely use Pep boys in the future because of Harry. Eugene on the other hand could be a little nicer and less sarcastic. read more

To the worker that called my friend stating his parts has arrived on Friday, March 2, 2018: My friend went on Wednesday and an older gentleman stated that the parts will be there on Thursday because that is when they receive shipments for all orders. My friend received a call Thursday evening about his two items were available for pickup. My friend went to pick it up on Saturday afternoon. The associate could not find one of the two items on the order and the person that happened to call him, just left for the day and they do not have their number to call and ask where it was placed. The manager tried to help, but it was misplaced and the associate offered another brand, which is better and the inventory displayed they had the part for me. The associate came back and told my friend that it was not there and they can't do anything about it, but only to refund. Another suggestion was to come back tomorrow, "maybe" it will be available. My friend went there twice, time wasted, and nothing can be done but just a refund was suggested; and why would he travel again? Two hours at the store with no results! My friend called corporate checking if the part can be shipped FedEx as he had an appointment with the mechanic to have it done the next day morning, plus it was not safe to drive as he has two young children. The customer rep. told my friend that they cannot do it as the order amount does not meet the free shipping. They can't even manually adjust it to fulfill the order that was supposed to be there for my friend. Overall, time wasted, no substitution and pretty much time wasted on the scheduling for the mechanic and safety for his children. Reason he purchased it at Pepboys is because of the sale price and the reputation they carry, but unfortunately, this company just plainly sucks! Just wasted time, had no inventory, and can't fulfill a simple order. He highly suggests that all customers go to Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts, or even O'Reilly, than this company that has NO INVENTORY; anywhere! Sale or no sale, they do not have inventory period. Lie to their customers of their order being fulfilled and ready to pickup. Satisfaction is NOT GUARANTEED! Pepboys should change their motto to: Can't trust the boys to get you anywhere" read more

Good affordable service , recommend everyone who have problem with auto repair Good location and hours of operation read more

Wasted soo much time to not get anything resolved. The manager was rude and didn't seem to care about the needs of myself or any other customer. Never going back again. read more

This place saved me again! The plate covering my engine came loose as I stupidly drove over a curb, and it was dragging. They fixed it for me for free. Who does that? I had had a tough day and wish the gentleman who served me knew just how much this completely brightened my day. read more

Never heard from anyone at Pep Boys until yesterday when I got a call from the store to tell me that American Auto Security had inquired about my car (after I had notified them that Pep Boys had told me that they had denied the request for the AC condenser to be replaced and was told that they had no such request for my plan). I took my car to QUALIFED mechanic and he told me that I did need some brake work which he did and that the only thing wrong with the AC was that the freon had been drained. He filled and tested for leaks or damage andd he found none. So Pep Boys attempted a scam but got caught!I wrote an email to brian_kaner2pepboys.com, the CEO, but as expceted heard nothing back! NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE AT ANY LOCATION, THEY ARE CROOKS!!! read more

Good service & good people Fix my vehicle w same day

WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS. Today I had a horrible experience... 4 days ago I made an online appointment to change my car tires. On the day of my appointment I was there on time and they took my car. One of the employees told me it would be an hour of waiting for the car to be done. After an hour and a half, I asked how much longer it would take and the guy told me that they didn't even have my tires ! When I asked him why he didn't tell me they had no tires before I waited ask that time, he went off on a tangent about how "people just tap away at their phones while on the couch and want services like magic." Well ...... What else are we supposed to do ?? This employee was so rude and I walked out of there just feeling disrespected. So very disappointed. read more

Made an appointment for noon. Showed up around 11:30. At around 3 pm, they were just taking my car in. Other people who were here after me left before I did. I was getting a tire replaced. That was it. I will not be back. read more

Scheduled an online appointment 4 new tires for 1pm - arrived at 12:45 - they took my keys, I left for 2 hours, figured that was sufficient time for a tire replacement. They had not even started on my vehicle. Sat in the lobby area that offered ripped chairs, trash all over, unsanitary to say the least. Jeff comes over to tell me the tires I ordered online were not available but not to worry they will replace with better tires for the same cost. 4 pm they tell me my car is ready, walk out the door oh no! Tires they put on my car were the wrong size, total bait and switch, they knew it was the wrong size and tried to cover it up by saying these were super nice tires only for some other vehicle. A blonde older gentleman began yelling at me when I walked back inside to ask if he could help me , he said you're not next in line I'm busy ( he was not doing a thing ). Then Christian comes out and tells me his area manager will only give me my money back if they give me my old tires back - or they would find a set of tires that did fit my car and replace with those. So after 5 hours of my day I either get nothing or I try to get it resolved. My hands were tied at this hour due to my having a work trip next morning needed my car. So I wait again another 1.5 hours - 7pm they come out to hand my keys, I get into the car and 5 minutes later a pop and car is shaking - call Christian back he says they didn't rebalance the car and to come back in... these are NOT mechanic, and at this point I'm not safe in the car. Arrived at 12:45 left at 8pm and still not sure if my car is safe to drive. Furthermore the credit they claimed to refund to my credit card did not show. They stole my money , tried to bait and switch , put my back into an unsafe vehicle and stole 8 hours of my day where I lost business appointments . This place should be shut down immediately- horrible service, inexperienced and incompetent staff, not mechanics I repeat not people to send your vehicle to they have not been trained. Becuase they are understaffed they will hire anyone and that becomes unsafe for the consumer read more

I called and gave Eugene car make model and Was quoted $69 to install tires on my car. I set up an appointment, drove all the way to this location and he told me due to TPMS the price goes up to $169. I'm not replacing the tpms it's just install of 4 new tires...... thanks for nothing! read more

WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EVER! Story time, gather around boys & girls. CHAPTER 1: DEEP IN CYBER WORLD I walk in with an exchange, it's a small item, K&N recharge kit. Costs no more than $12. I wait inline as one employee is finishing up a convo with another customer from behind the counter. I notice another employee behind the counter, she's sitting on 2 red wash buckets while playing with her cellphone. She looked very comfortable and entertained with her instagram/Facebook/twitter/tinder/Snapchat. I didn't want to interrupt so I stood there without her even knowing of my existence. CHAPTER 2: EXIT CYBER WORLD, ENTER WORK Soon the other employee finishes his convo and greets me. I tell him I'd like to make a return. He points me over in the direction of the register Miss Oblivious aka 2 buckets, 1 cellphone girl. To keep this novel short, I didn't have my receipt and we go back & forth. After a 3rd trip back from playing monkey in the middle with myself and the manager, the actual manager comes out. Her name is DONNA. Maybe if I returned a wash bucket, it wouldn't have escalated to DONNA because then she'd have a third bucket to kick up her feet! Heyyy! CHAPTER 3: DONNA DONNA starts to reiterate everything. I explain to DONNA I work in retail, I understand a receipt is needed for exchange/return but mostly it's to deter false returns from theft. Can you please make an exception for a $12 item? DONNA's answer? You guessed it! No! Unsatisfied with her answer, I rant about how this has been the worst customer experience ever beginning with 1 GIRL 2 BUCKETS. DONNA stood behind a fixture with her hand over her mouth.. after 5seconds of silence and no response, I ask a rhetorical question asked with a smile, "You really don't care at all?" "Really going to lose a customer over $12?" I start making my way to the exit. CHAPTER 4: PARKING LOT PARADISE I've always noticed the trash in the parking lot from my previous visits but that day that garbage glistened like glitter while I waited on the phone with a representative from corporate customer care. The rep said I would be given a follow up call with a resolution within a couple days. CHAPTER 5: WENT DOWN DA ROAD Took my business down the street to AutoZone. They took great care of me, I grabbed the supplies I needed that day, made the exchange, asked if I had a receipt, told them no and they got me on my merry way. CHAPTER 6: ART'S ANSWER I got a call from ART THE STORE MANAGER OF PEPBOYS DEDHAM. He apologized and told me to come in and he'd take care of my return personally. Ah too late I already down da road to AutoZone and they took great care of me. ART: "Well if you have any other future returns, I'll take care of you personally" ME: "okay" INNER ME: "how are you going to take care of my future returns when I won't be making any more purchases from PEPBOYS?" CHAPTER 7: THE END, THE END OF ME EVER SPENDING A GODDAMN DIME IN A PEPBOYS ESTABLISHMENT EVER AGAIN. Really? That was the resolution? Pepboys lost a lifetime customer over a $12 K&N air filter cleaner kit. This Dedham location needs to take a crash course in Customer Service 101. Honestly my experience is that of the training videos portraying an over-the-top exaggerated poor customer service scenario. I'll be back to edit this review when Yelp updates and allows ZERO STAR rating. read more

I want to start out by saying I give them -5 stars.......Well I booked an appointment for 8am on a Friday was told to come back the tires would be in later that afternoon. Called at 4pm was told "your car is next on the lift". So I headed down there at around 530 figuring it should be close to done, no such luck truck was in the same location in the lot I left it. So I decided to take a walk and come back around an hour later still the truck is in the parking lot. Truck makes it into the garage about 715, 45 minutes prior to closing. 745 rolls around and no work is being done so I tell the man at the front desk I'll be back tomorrow. At this point I'm told no problem it will be done. So I take my 25$ Uber home. Wake up in the morning no one at the store will pickup the phone, so I head down around 1pm Saturday assuming the extra time will allow them to finish the 4 tires and I'll be on my way. Well when I get there to my surprise the vehicle hasn't been touched and is on the lift and no one is working on it. I ask the front desk associate when I would be able to expect the job to be done he replies, "my tire installer is at lunch I will have him work on it immediately upon returning". At this point I don't have time to wait around as I had prior obligations Saturday afternoon. So I leave with the promise that my vehicle will be all set upon returning the next day. Sure enough return the next day vehicle is still on the same lift with the same tires on I dropped it off with Friday morning. I made them take my truck off the lift, because at this point I had no vehicle for 2.5 days and have had to Uber around or catch rides from family and friends. Worst service I've ever had. Weird how I went to another tire shop and seemed to have no issue getting new tires in 3.5 hours the following day. Great job pep boys, I will make sure I tell everyone I know about my experience and to recommend they never go to this shop. read more

To bad you cant give 0 stars. The worst experience at a tire shop. I scheduled an appointment at 9:30am to change all 4 tires i called also to confirm how long would take they said about 2hrs i dropped the car off and they said about 3-4 hr because extremely busy im like fine. Around 12 i called to check just to see the progress they said we dont have ur tires u looking for but we have ur car up on the lift and around 2 should be done i gave em a bit longer so went there at 4 to pick up the car my car was still on the parking lot where i left untouched. I went inside they said could you wait another 1.5 hr I couldn't after 8 hr that I dropped it of so i took the keys and left. read more

Went in with my car because it wasn't starting and they said nothing was wrong with my car. A week later the same thing happened again and found out that i needed a new battery when i went somewhere else. I do not recommend going there if you are having issues with your vehicle. Poor customer service. read more

Came in for simple oil change they told me one hour and now it's been 2 and a half hours. Only things to be said for them is same day service and that they did the job. Customer service was minimal and no one was wearing masks read more

Ok. Had a tire prepaid and delivered here. Same day after looking they said they could find it. I had to call the tire company who then called them and miraculously my tire was found. That was just the beginning. Asked them to put the tire on. They refused saying I had mechanical damage on my axle/tie rods and it would cost 2200.00. Ok. I bring the same Pep Boys invoice to Meineke. Same exact work performed. I paid 700.00. New axel and tie rods and tire replaced. So glad I didnt listen to these jack a****. read more
