Ive had nothing but issues from day 1 .that lasted over 3 months . From taking my car in for same issue. Because mechanic was shady. Broke a part and tried to patch it .which leaked. Don't ever take your vehicle here for service. Learned that the hard way. Store manager is not a manager. Email corporate. They don't care about the customer or the business. Take your business. Some where else.Not here. I shouldn't have to Email corporate over and over. And to call and still not 1 person from corporate has contacted me by phone yet. Its been going on for 3 months. ​ read more

Pep Boys - Part mechanic broke and tried to patch up with. A sealer - Auto Repair Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Made an appointment for 10am got there early to drop off my car for an oil change, the guy at the counter was a complete ass and not helpful.. ended up taking my car somewhere else that was cheaper, quicker and kinder. Never again for anything read more

This shop literally saved my life! I was an hour into my three hour drive when I stopped for gas and my car would not start back up. An amazing couple helped jump start me enough to make it to this Pep Boys. I also had my two dogs with me, no leashes or collars, so I'm thinking I'm stranded. I had no idea Pep Boys was pet-friendly. The team were amazing with my crazy pups and so accommodating. My panic turned into the best experience with an auto shop. They changed my battery, did an oil change, and tire rotation, and I was back on the road in no time. I cannot thank the staff enough. Shannon, both Richard's, and Mason deserve all the praise. You can tell the entire team works so well together and have a great system in place. Beyond grateful, thank you all again!!! read more

There was a mistake made when placing our online order. We were totally unaware of this before hand because the order confirmation email didn't contain a clear description. My wife completed the transaction without seeing it or knowing the tire was totally the wrong size and completely useless to us. We walked back inside immediately. Then the associate informed us we were intelligible to return the tire because we ordered online and paid cash in store, also we didn't receive a paper receipt. At this point, we were standing there with a new tire paid in full and no options. We didn't have any use for a tire that wouldn't fit our wheel. I mean this tire was basically trash in our opinion. This store did an amazing job helping us correct this issue. This compelled us to post the experience online. We were very thankful and expressed that to this associate. Didn't get his name but he's truly a decent guy for helping us apply the purchase price towards a correct size tire. We can vouch for this ending as a very positive experience. You can expect to be in good hands with this store and staff. Thanks again, Keith read more

My husband placed an order for tires over the phone. We went over for installation and they did not have the 4 tires in stock. They were supposed to have the tires in by noon. At one my husband called and they said they would call him as soon as they arrive. A little later they called and said they were delivered. I went right over and they had told my husband and hour and half for installing the 4 tires. When I arrived I was told 2 1/2 to 3 hours. My husband came by to pick me up 2 hours later and they said another 2 hours (5 PM) and they would make it happen!! We got there about 5:10 and they were pulling my car into the shop to start the work!! So we refused and took my car home to find someone who keeps their word. If it were possible, they would get a negative star rating. Avoid this location! read more

a whole mess. i showed up 3 days in a row and got turned down every time for this state inspection. the first time i literally made an appointment online, came in and got "its first come first served". so the next day i come in at 2. still not early enough. so today i come in an hour before the shop even opens - STILL cant guarantee that i get it done????? hello?????? like i said. a whole mess. read more

I made an appointment for 11am on a Sunday and drove 40 miles for a service. They took all walk-ins first and service guy told me next time to show up at 8am and I have a better chance of getting serviced. Bad business. Don't accept appointments if you won't honor them and don't waste people's time! read more

Have a small nail hole I needed patched that was well over the inch rule, not near the side wall. Am met with a grumpy service writer, that when asked about how long it would take says they're already behind. Mind you it's 9am, I say the tire is off and I can bring it in and come back. I proceed to lug my tire across the parking lot, appreciated the help with that! To be told the don't patch tires unless it basically dead center. A complete waste of time and a money grab to get me to buy tires. Wouldn't recommend to anyone wasting their time here read more

Pep Boys - Tire in question - Auto Repair Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I brought my car here back in March 2026 I told them my flex pipe was busted and needed to be replaced. However, the car was reading faulty codes and it was giving the air intake system map sensor, but that's only because the flex pipe was busted and when I brought it to their attention, they said there's nothing to do with it, but it does so they freaking me $1000 for the air intake system which I didn't even need it wasn't wrong and four months later check engine light comes on because my flex pipe is still busted and when I bring it back to them, Richard, the manager tells me that the flex pipe has nothing to do with the faulty codes or the air intake system. I'm telling you guys do not take your car here. They don't know what they're talking about, but I'm trying to reach corporate if they don't handle it I'm suing them back for my money cause I want my refund. I will get my refund and I will end up getting my flex pipe fixed by a real mechanic. Do not take your car here by any means. read more

Set up an appointment at 10am on Monday for a state inspection and an oil change. Arrived at 9:15 to drop off vehicle and was told it would be 6pm at the earliest. I verified my phone number asked for a call if it wasn't going to be done, arranged a ride. 6:20 pm I call only to be told that now there were 3 vehicles in front of me somehow and it would be lunchtime if I left it overnight. I agreed and at 2:45 pm I called to see if it was finished since I had not received a call. The man at the desk Eddie I believe said yes. I arranged a ride to get there and at 3:07pm I walked in only to be told " you are the next one up" 24 hours - the first day there were only 4 ahead of me, the second day there were only 3 ahead of me, they told me it was ready when I called 29 hours after I dropped it off. Then when I arrive they decided to say it was going to be brought in. Worst customer service and communication ever . Can't speak about the service after 29 hours I needed my vehicle so now I look for another place to get it inspected and oil changed. Ridiculous!! What is the purpose of the online scheduling read more

Great professionalism by "Adolfo Suarez" this man is so knowledgeable as he broke down how the tire pressure monitor system works. This was my visit today at PepBoys!! Thank you Sir!, you deserve this shout out on Google. Pep Boys is the Best place to visit when you feel like you can't go into dealership due to economic reasons. In these hard times , I feel like dealerships take advantage of the economic situation on car owners when it comes to a simple thing like tire repair or something like "tire pressure monitor system " and lights showing on dashboards. I went to a dealership to inquire about the light on my dash, but I was told that the monitor system needs full change for all 4 tires at $120 per tire, do you know that most of the time-women are the ones taken unfair advantage of because, we know nothing about car repairs. I would have paid $480 for something that could have been fixed by "adding air"..to a low pressure tire. I decided to visit PepBoys to get a second opinion and "Mr. Adolfo" shared that my car just needed some air on the tires and the lights will disappear, and that's exactly what happened. I was so elated that a simple air was all I needed. I could have wasted $480 in a dealership if I did not check a second opinion... Lol. Darius, the technician who did the final check also professionally attended to me , very courteous and he was equally knowledgeable. I want to express my gratitude to PepBoys in Germantown for great customer service today. You deserve my "shoutout",plus a 10+. Thank you so much. I will be back next time. All my friends, community will visit too for oil change, tire repairs and purchases etc. Dealerships only cater to money not the customer or their car. Lol. read more

I googled nearby places to have a MD inspection done and chose this Pep Boys because they had next day availability and online scheduling. I selected 9 am and selected that I'd wait for my vehicle. I arrived the next day and was told that they "don't do" waiting for your car. Despite my 9 am appointment, I was told the tech was working on an alternator that would take at least three hours and would get to me once that was finished. I am dumbfounded that they have such a complete disregard for people's time as to offer meaningless appointments. I am a SAHM so while this was annoying and frustrating, I simply found a locally owned shop via Yelp that could help me. But this is incredibly rude and inconsiderate to people who have to take off work and rearrange their schedule, expecting to have their car serviced at the appointment time, only to arrive and have a completely different set of rules dropped on them. read more

Story time: I bought a car out of state and came to Pep Boys to get a state inspection. I brought my car in at 8am and they told me they would be able to get it done this morning since i was one of the only cars there. I call at 12 to see what the status is and they said my car was next. I call again at 4pm and they said they can't get to it today and that it would get done first thing the next morning. That is the 2nd time they told me it would get done "first thing in the morning" I don't recommend getting your car serviced here is you want a same day service or even decent service. read more

Would like to thank the team at Pep Boys on 1120 W Patrick St for helping us with our vehicle on a late afternoon. They went out of there way to help us so we could get back on the road for our vacation. A Special thanks to David C at that Pep Boys for helping us and for going out of is way. I would recommend using that Pep Boys because the people there go above and beyond for there costumers read more

Go elsewhere!! Bought 4 tires, talked me into 3 yr alignment special. Then show us 1 front strut needed replaced for $1200!!! Said they couldn't align vehicle. Took it to my local mechanic, said nothing wrong with strut and aligned vehicle w/ no problem. Won't refund my $150 I paid for 3 years of alignments. They will scam you!!! read more

Traveling through the area and realized I had a bubble on the wheel of my car. Called around to a few places but Pep boys was the only last minute one I could get. Not only were they extremely nice and accommodating by ordering the tire size needed but also installed them all the day of. We got there in the afternoon and were out by the evening. Overall they were so accommodating, because we were traveling through they let us sit in the waiting area (with our dog) and finished within the same. Wish I had mechanics likes this in my town, especially thanks to David! read more

Pep boys changed my front brakes and rotors for a reasonable price and paid for a Lyft to and from my house so I didn't have to walk!

I wouldn't give them 1 star but I had no choice.so I go in for a oil change at the pep Boys on west Patrick st. They take my car back 45 minutes later they call me up to the counter they proceeded to tell me my brakes need to be changed and my tires are in bad shape. He said he has all the materials to do the job right then. Here's the catch my car had only 30,000 miles on it brand new I said what? It's a brand new car he said to me you must run it hard I laugh at the guy told him I did not want any of the work done he wanted to charger me 1999.00 for the brakes and tires also I call them to make the oil change and he told me it would be 88.00 it ended up being 112.00 I said WHT happen to the 88.00 you told me on the phone he said that was without the oil filter lmao the guys name was Darwin folks please don't take your car there they are crooks.so I took my car to guy I have known for years he has his own shop and I gave him the invoice pepboys gave me and he check everything they said I needed to change and he laugh Crooks thiefs never will I ever go in there again read more

I had been to 5 dealerships prior to coming to this Pep Boys for a new tire. NTB, Volvo, Tires Plus- NTB had me wait all day and then told me they didn't have the tire. Nick, Store Manager, of Pep Boys, got in his truck and picked up my tire from another location. I'm in sales, and know that when you have customer service like this or provide it, then there is no reason to go elsewhere. Shanda, Assistant Manager, and the team are all top notch. I know I'm getting the best service and product and quality. Don't go anywhere else- trust me! read more

Store, Service Desk and restroom are filthy. I made multiple appointments for service, this Pep Boys is unable to honor the appointment time window. Moreover, as a customer they don't make you feel appreciated. read more

Pep Boys - Filthy Pep Boys store! - Auto Repair Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I went in today to get an oil change. They found a nail in my tire that they said was "too close to the sidewall to patch" and they tried to sell me four new tires, quoting me $175 each, plus extra "shop costs," and labor. The hole is clearly able to be patched. They also said my rear wiper was torn, and quoted me a new wiper for $10 and labor for another $10. I'm incredibly disappointed in this store, they are clearly trying to make money off of people who they think don't know better. Know better. Update: it has been more than 24 hours since I sent an email, as requested, to the customer service center of pep boys with zero response. read more

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! Don't go here. Old location, ancient computer systems and not worth a dime. I made an appointment and they gave me the wrong oil for my oil change. I asked for synthetic and they gave me the conventional oil for my Nissan. For Nissans (that are notorious for needing proper oil and regular oil changes) this is UNACCEPTABLE. I usually go to my regular Pep Boys out of state where this never happens because they are knowledgable. These ppl clearly don't have sense and don't care. When I called, Tony was unapologetic and frankly didn't care. He said "I'll see what my manager wants to do when you come in." So when I came in and told them again what happened, I hear Tony come by the woman who I was speaking with (Shanda) and say that the conventional oil change was asked for...which it wasn't. So I guess blame the customer is the new practice, huh? And why didn't you say that on the phone with me when I called, huh? Bcuz you're lying. Shanda then told me (when I showed her proof that the appointment was made specifically for a synthetic oil change) that her system doesn't show that, it just shows a blank slate. Hmmm...and who's problem is that? Mine? As the customer taking the time to make the appt., providing specific details to make your job easier? Or YOURS as the company with faulty systems? She even complained with the Sales Manager while I was there saying I hate these systems. So clearly you all are a COMPLETE MESS! GET IT TOGETHER! If I take the time to schedule a detailed appt with what I need, don't then tell me foolishness about YOUR mistake. She then told me oh I'm going to take off the $30 you already paid for the oil change and for a coupon I had. Oh please! Keep it! No apologies for their screw up or for my wasted time. 2 plus hours for services that should only take an hr at best. And then you want me to pay again? For your screw up? No way. I got a full refund and walked out of there. I will be going elsewhere until I am out of state at my trusted place. This place needs to be shut down! Isn't this the oldest PEP boys location? It definitely shows. TRASH! Never again! P.S. they all smoke too. No thanks. I want none of you working on my car ever again! read more

So after making an appointment for an inspection, driving a half hour from my home in bad weather to get there, I am told I am they won't do the inspection because of the weather. Now my appointment is for 8 am, and they open at 7:30. So why couldn't they call me? Because they are poor service assholes. Never. Ever. Again. read more

I made an appointment online a week in advance to get a tire patched and my oil changed. Even took the day off from work. Thei website even asked if I would be waiting or dropping off and I chose to wait. I get there 15 minutes early and I'm told that they were not allowing customers to wait, drop offs only (due to covid19). He then proceeds to tell me I had 3 cars in front of me and they wouldn't be able to get to me for 3 hours. I said "cancel it" and went to Costco tire center who got me right in. Manager at pep boys didn't apologize or ask if I would like to reschedule. Never going there again. read more

Flat tire on route 15 on a Friday at 6:00. Nobody was open except pep boys. Nice guys working there. Quick service. Fair price. Mostly I'm just thankful that they were open later than 6:00, or else I would have been getting a hotel for the night. Thank you Pep Boys! read more

Couldn't ask for nicer people. Shanda in the Service Dept is amazing...professional, courteous, friendly and so helpful. I'm going to be a return customer, for sure. I really like the way this place is run. (Shout out to Justin in service, also...) read more

I had ordered tires for a work van from Amazon and it gave me the option to have them installed at Pepboys so I decided to give it a try, the tires arrived, we set up the appointment for 4pm on a Wednesday, I arrived on time they told me that I could leave the vehicle there so I did and told me to come back at seven or they will give me a call if they could get it done before that I didn't receive a phone call so I went there at 6:45 to pick up the vehicle and when I get there everything is closed I didn't get no phone call. Everything was locked and I didn't have the key for my work vehicle for the next day. I called them the next day when they open and they told me that they couldn't get the van down that day, so I told him just to do it there and they took the whole day with Shop at 4 PM the next day and the van was still not ready when we show up and tell us that the Lugnuts were stripped and that they needed to install new Lugnuts so I figure that it was OK when we receive the van at 5 PM they wanted to charge me $250 for new Lugnuts and I I just want people to know how they perform work there so they don't run into the same issue as me read more

Great service during these difficult times. The other day my car started to shake violently. Mind you my car has been on its last leg for a while now and my first thought was "oh no, this is it. I'm gonna have to buy a new car or pay a lot of money to get this junk fixed." Buying a new car was not exactly in the budget at the moment. I took it to my local PepBoys so I could hear the damage. I let Tony know of my situation and he immediately set me at ease and said "don't worry we will take care of you". A great shout out to Tony. He could not have been more right. Not only was the amount I paid way under what I was expecting but they had my car working within the hour and I was back on my way to work knowing I could wait until this world wide difficulty was over before worrying about buying a new car. Thank you PepBoys. Thank you Tony!!! read more

If you're trying to get a state inspection it doesn't count if you do an appointment online. I got there and was told that there are no appointments and it's based on a "first come, first serve." I understand the frustration because this a corporate thing, rather than their doings personally. But I still think that they need to make these changes online so that the shop is responsible and informing people if they do or do not do appointments for inspections. The guy was very pleasant to talk to and recommended other areas to get it done. Luckily I'm not in too much of a hurry to get it done, it's not a complete disappointment, just a minor inconvenience. read more

Great service from Tony and the team. They got my car fixed up aardvark ready to go in no time. I'll be back in the future....hopefully not too soon. read more

I went to Pepboys auto on Patrick Street in Frederick for an oil change, tire rotation and a new battery. I was charged more than quoted over the phone and did not receive a tire rotation after being there for more than an hour an twenty minutes. This place is a RIPOFF read more

My car needed a new set of tires. I called Pep Boys about a particular tire I wanted, but they only had 3 out of 4 in stock at the location. The man I was speaking to told me over the phone that there was a fourth tire in stock at another location and he would send a driver down to get it for me. Very helpful! Once the service was complete, I noticed my steering wheel was a bit crooked from the alignment so I took it back in and they fixed it in a timely manner and free of charge. Excellent experience. read more

Went to get tires put on my boyfriends truck. Waited for a while and was told to leave and come back because their was a wait. Later in the evening they would sell him the tires and replace them. Left and came back and was told no he couldn't get tires tonight because of someone else's headlights. 2 trips to Frederick for nothing and now he's missing a day at work. Never again. read more

I wouldn't recommend going to pep boys for an engine replacement but I've had good luck with them on routine maintenance such as oil changes and brake jobs. Unfortunately they're developed a first come first serve reservation policy that I'm not too fond of. I tried to set up an appointment to change from summer tires to winter tires. The guy at the counter refused to give me a date or a time. Instead, I was told to bring the car in at 8 am and leave it for the entire day. When I asked for a 9 am timeslot I was told I would have to leave the car overnight. Sorry, Mr. Pep. No can do. There are way too many repair shops that are willing to work with customers to waste time on you. read more

This story starts of bad but the way Pep Boys handled the situation was outstanding; hence the 5 stars! I went in there this past Wednesday to have my cabin air filter changed on 2004 Mazda 3. I had the part; I just needed someone to install it for me. For those of you are unaware, installing the cabin air filter on a Mazda is extremely difficult. In Mazda's (at least mine), you have to go under the glove box, remove the fuse box and then install the filter. Anyways, I went there and the guy that worked on my car did a good job to install the filter. But he did not put everything back correctly as after the filter was installed, the electrical system for my car would not work. Wipers, hazard lights, tail light, courtesy light etc were all not working. Since it was late in the day (8:30pm), the people working at the front (Erik and martin) told me to come back during the day (8am-5pm) and have it looked by a master technician. So I called Pep Boys the next day and spoke to Carl (service manager) and he was really accommodating. Carl also guaranteed that if his technician could not fix the issue, he would send the car to Mazda to have it fixed and Pep Boys would pay for it. He (Carl) made an appointment for me and it was seen by master technician Nick. Nick knew what he was doing! He fixed the electrical issue in about ten minutes. He also checked to see if the cabin air filter was installed properly (it was not earlier). Pep boys did not offer me any freebies (and to be honest, I was not looking for anything free.. I just wanted my car fixed). I asked them to install a complimentary engine filter for me and Nick did that as well. As Nick was pulling out my car, he noticed that my check engine light was on. So he stopped and run diagnostics and it turns out the check engine light was on because of removing and installing the fuse box when installing the cabin air filter. Am I going to go back to Pep boys? Probably not since Nick only works from Monday - Friday from 8-5 and I work during those times. It was a pleasant surprise to see that a company stood by their work and fixed it for me in a reasonable amount of time! read more

They don't honor appointments, so don't even bother. Guy at the service counter didn't even seem to care or want to make an effort to resolve the issue. Just said, "it's first come, first serve." So what's the point of making an appointment? read more

Not sure of the love everyone else has for this place, but the service center is horrendous! They are generally incompetent for anything more than replacing tires, but on top of that, they are outright rude. Recently, my daughter went in for a road hazard warranty claim for a leaking tire through a company that has a direct account with Pep Boys. As soon as they heard that it was a warranty claim, they went from polite and helpful to dismissive and rude. She was told it would take about an hour and after three hours they hadn't even looked at the car. Finally, with my daughter at the desk, the service attendant took a phone call and then began to speak badly about the person who had called after they hung up. No telling what they said about my daughter! On top of that again, they failed to make the repairs or resolve the issue. When I called to complain to the warranty company, they were still waiting to hear from Pep Boys--my daughter said they tore up the paperwork. This was not the first bad experience I have had with this Pep Boys. Had it not been recommended by the warranty company, I would have avoided it all together. I will NEVER have ANYTHING done there again! read more

Can't speak for the auto parts section but the shop is way above average! We got a slow flat tire in the snow a month ago, ran over a curb and cracked the aluminum rim. It was Sunday, nothing else was open. Drove around looking for a tire repair shop and stopped in at Pep Boys 15 minutes before they were closing. The mechanic on duty stayed 15 minutes AFTER closing trying to help us... we were screwed without them. In my mind Pep Boys is great, every other shop would have just told us we have to leave it overnight (making us late for work the next day) Customer service like that is increasingly rare, Two Thumbs up for Pep Boys! read more

I made an appointment online and I called a few hours earlier because I need a synthetic oil change and it didn't give me the option online. They did not see my appointment I told them I have the email confirmation and text. The rep didn't care he said they have nothing available how rude. He didn't even ask me if I wanted to reschedule or just say he will fit me in. I made an appointment it's not my fault that he doesn't see my appointment I have proof. I'm super pissed we are going to the beach tomorrow I need an oil change. This is such an inconvenience. read more

I'll be the first to say that going to places like Pep Boys can be a gamble. However, I think I found an honest and proficient group at the West Patrick Street location. Scroll down to the last paragraph if you want to get to the "punchline" quickly. Let me take you back to Memorial Day weekend 2016. My SIL and her 3 kids came into town with their mini van. Given that my family doesn't have a van or comparable sized vehicle I ended up driving all of us around. I immediately noticed that the brakes had the worst warp and pulsation I ever felt in my life. No way would I let them take a 8 hour drive back home in this condition. So being a good BIL, I went to Pep Boys and purchased some parts. Long story short, replacing the rotors and brakes were a pain. [Cliffnotes: It took MUCH longer than anticipated, and screw you Dodge and your different "duty" brakes for the same model and using the retention clips from hell.] After I installed the rotors, I took the car for a drive and the rear brake was smoking! I had the vehicle towed to Pep Boys on Memorial Day Monday. I fully expected to have to pay mucho dinero and have to house my SIL for extra days. HERE'S THE PART YOU SHOULD READ: I forgot to clean off the anti-rust treatment off the new rotors when I installed them. The Pep Boys guys cleaned up the rotors and charged me $0.00!!! The van was back on the road the same day! Kudos to Pep Boys! read more
