Walked in on a Saturday for a new battery and installation. They offered a drop-off option, which was great. Emil helped us and turned the screen to show a total of $287, but didn't explain what made up that price. It seemed high, so I asked if that was just for the battery and install. He said yes--that we were only paying for the battery and installation. Later, we realized he had added a "Pep Up Your Battery" package (which we did not request and makes no sense for a new battery) and a "Battery Relearn" (also not requested and, based on my own research, not necessary). Together it was only about $33 extra, but that's not really the issue--the problem is adding services without consent and not being upfront about the pricing. On top of that, when we checked the battery at home, there was still corrosion on the connections. I understand if cleaning that is considered an extra service, but adding unrequested charges and then leaving corrosion that could have easily been scraped off is dishonest pricing and poor service. We only chose this place because we had a coupon for a free install package, and the added charges essentially canceled that out anyway--which feels intentional. read more

If I could give them a zero review, I would 100%. I'm not sure how you can be a mechanic and mess up an alignment. Also, their guarantee on tires is just trash, they won't give you credit for tires used under their guarantee policy. They kept going in circles trying to go around their "policy". Trash customer service, I work in customer service myself and I would never put the blame on the customer if their going off of their policy. read more

I had a great experience at Pep Boys! The staff was very friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. clearly. The service was quick, efficient, and reasonably priced. I really appreciated their honesty and attention to detail. Definitely a place I can trust and will come back to in the future. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going there for a while and dealing with the "issues". Quoted price is never what they say, you bring a coupon and you have to remind them when you are checking out, or they won't give it to you. There used to be a guy that worked there that was great. Whoever is there now doesn't check the schedule so even if you make an appt, it doesn't matter. You're still treated like a walk in Got tires replaced and they don't reset my tire pressure monitor so low tire came on while I was in Sonora. The last straw was I got my oil changed. Left my car, picked it up, discussed pricing and left. Noticed oil in my driveway so made an appt. Decided that maybe I should take it to the dealership so I could at least feel better about being overcharged. They showed me a picture of my oil cap wasn't screwed back in the last time I got my oil changed. That's it. I will not be going back. No charge for screwing in the oil cap all the way. Did use a coupon to get the oil changed and now I'm only going there. read more

Did some shopping around comparing rates on new tires and NOBODY beat Pep Boys!! Not only did they have the best prices, their customer service was top tier and the staff was nothing short of amazing Definitely my go to spot in the 209 area. read more

I called on a Sunday for a brake inspection as I was hearing a cyclical squealing sound when I drove my 2019 4Runner. Pep boys was one of the only places open on a Sunday that could perform the work. I called ahead, they told me to drop it off whenever and they'd take a look. They were busy and had many appointments but to my surprise they had found the issue within 2 hours. Had to get my front rotors changed and new brake pads for under $400. The price was really fair, and Juan, who I worked with was kind, professional and answered all the questions I had. Pleasant experience, would recommend! read more

Emil at Pep Boys was awesome! He was able to help me out last minute and got my headlights fixed on my Lexus quickly and without any hassle. Super professional, efficient, and really saved me in a pinch. I really appreciate the great service & highly recommend Emil if you need work done! read more

Love this place! I come from the Bay Area so wait times are much longer there. Every time I've came to this location my car is done by the time I get to the Mail to all around. They're fast and get the job done. Again, I'm comparing them to the Bay Area Pepboys so my review may be different from others. The staff have always been helpful and kind. Remember to always check their website for coupons!! My only issue was the surrounding area but with the Starbucks the area has improved slightly. Additionally, they no longer have the lifetime alignment!!!! I'm so sad! I have it for my older car but wanted to get it for my new car but they only have a 30 day and 1 year. read more

I recently got new tires and was beyond impressed and appreciative with the top notch service I got from Emil! He provided excellent customer service!! The service of putting on new tires and alignment was fast and proper too. They also have very good, competitive prices compared to other tire businesses in the area! But the customer service from Emil is definitely the stand out part of this experience and I would recommend Pep Boys to anyone based on his excellent service! Pep Boys should consider themselves lucky to have such an outstanding employee!! read more

Came into Pep Boys today 7-27-25 around 2:00p and was having a problem with the pressure light coming on found a little screw. I asked if i should replace tire. I was told because the tire had a alot of thread that they could patch it. They did the work i asked how much they said don't worry about it. Pep Boys you guys Rock!!!!! Thank you read more

I bought my tires online and had Pep Boys mount them. Less than a month later, I had a slow leak. They fixed the wounded tire for free. Many thank! read more

Upon arriving, I was warmly greeted by John, who seemed friendly and approachable. However, my overall experience was a bit mixed. I explained that I had a 3:30 pm appointment for two items: a car inspection and a tire rotation, as indicated by the sticker I had just removed from my windshield, recommending rotation about 3,000 miles ago, along with a car inspection form to be completed. John's response was less than satisfactory. He questioned the necessity of the tire rotation but agreed to check. He took my car inspection form and requested my keys, instructing me to wait at the counter the whole time. As John completed the inspection form at the counter, I asked if he could also perform the tire rotation. To my surprise, he declined, suggesting it could wait until my next oil change. Despite my insistence, he refused to provide the service. Frustrated but not wanting to press the issue, I proceeded to thank him, pay for the car inspection, and stated I would just stop at Costco for the tire rotation. John then followed me outside. Instead of accepting my decision, he continued to explain why I didn't need a tire rotation. I calmly expressed that I was just not used to being declined a service altogether- I was taken aback that he was persisting in this conversation, as I visibly did not want to continue. He snapped back, stating that I would have to pay for it, to which I responded that I was willing to pay for the service. Unfortunately, he didn't understand that my peace of mind was worth the additional fee. At that point, he reluctantly agreed to service it, but by then, I was already in my car and pulling away. Ideally, he would have given his recommendation and allowed me to choose while at the counter. I will not be returning here; having an appointment was pointless. read more

I love this business!!! But what I like most is they answer all of my questions.... I don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge so it feels good to have your questions answered. Without feeling stupid. Thanks guys!!!! I appreciate your patience and getting me on the road quickly... read more

PepBoys has been our mechanic of choice for our five vehicles for over a decade. They are always straight forward and don't try to be oversell. They try to work with you as best they can to keep costs down and Frank and Ravin are awesome technicians. I'm always a happy customer. read more

My husband had his vehicle towed from Stockton to them and they said it was a transmission line which they charged him 400.00 to replace! The next day on his way home from work the exact same problem happened and they would not even help to reimburse him for the tow or the previously incorrectly diagnosed problem. Completely ridiculous and now my husband is out for two tows and a service charge that should have never been completed by them!! If I could give negative stars I would!! read more

Pep Boys in Modesto is awesome. I recently ordered tires from Tirerack.com and needed them to be installed. Pep Boys is tied into Tirerack system so you can select Pep Boys and make your appointment when you buy your tires online so it is very convenient. It is ~$25/tire to install which is also one of the cheapest of the installers on Tirerack. I got my tires installed on time and quickly (about an hour) and even did an oil change while I was there ($125 for my Mercedes which is cheap). But why I am giving them 5-stars and why I will go back to them is they fixed the flat in my spare tire for free! I just had to go buy the stem valve (from an Autozone nearby) which was leaking and they fixed for me for free. Thank you Pep Boys! Btw, for some reason Pep Boys isn't showing up as an installer on Amazon anymore (which is where I usually buy my tires) which is why I bought on Tirerack. Pep Boys says you can always just bring tires in from Amazon and they will install them for the same ~$25/tire price. read more

I experienced fast professional and kind employees with one and his crew at pep boys on McHenry. Great service!

Definitely the nicest and most responsive customer service. My car was up and tires removed within 15 mins just for the inspection alone.

I purchased a battery from this store two years ago and I never really used it due to mechanical issues but the battery died and I was told the battery was no good. The store closed the end of 2021 so I had to call "corporate" and Johan and Eddy were really dry and useless they would not let me speak to their supervisor or any higher up. All I wanted was an exchange or a discount for a new battery. I never was able to speak to anyone in corporate. Not a happy customer. read more

Had window car paint on my car that didn't come off at the drive thru car wash, so I stopped by looking for cleaner for my windows. Cole was very kind, he handed me a towel and window cleaner to use! Then when I was outside cleaning my window Emil came out with a razor blade which helped tremendously and finished cleaning my windows for me! Thank you pep boys :) read more

Update: about a month ago I walked out of the gym to find one of my back tires was flat. It was a nail I had stepped on. It was almost 6pm I got anxious because most tire places close by 6pm and I needed to get to work early the next day. I called pep boys quickly, they said they would be able to fix it for me. I was able to get help putting the spare on and drive to pep boys. They were able to patch up my tire and I was out of there! I stand by the five star review...these guys are awesome! read more

Went for Lyft inspection. Didn't have appt. Was in and out in no time. Emil had excellent customer service. Will definitely be doing more business there read more

Dropped my car off, they said it was ready. We asked to pick it up later, they said no. Showed up and no one was in The office for at least a good 15 min. Wouldn't recommend until they get more employees to cover the front desk! read more

I have been taking my car to Pep Boys in Modesto for tires, batteries, and minor repairs for several years now. Their prices are far lower than the dealer, and their work is guaranteed. I've always been satisfied. I want to recognize Trent - who was working the desk in the service department today. He was extremely professional, friendly and welcoming. He went out of his way to let me know how long my service might take, and explained potential delays. His level of professionalism outshone some I've had at dealerships. I hope his boss sees this and rewards him somehow (with more pay, preferably!) He's a great asset to the McHenry Avenue Modesto Pep Boys! read more

I would give 5, but had some issues. Will give a 4 due to Juan and they way he came up with a plan and got it fixed and talked to me with respect and acknowledged my concern and remember me from my last visit. He was ahead of the game before I came in for my appointment. read more

Front and rear brakes replaced on my 2020 Q50 for a great price and completed it in just a few hours. Also gave me a coupon that saved me an additional $80!! Emil helped us out and really went above and beyond what was expected. Definitely recommend. read more

I came in today with some concerns about my car & Emil handled everything perfectly. He listened to all my concerns, regardless of what the computer scan said & we ended up finding the actual problem. Emil is very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He made sure I knew what was going on with my car at all times & took the time to explain things to me when I didn't understand. He is an amazing employee and awesome human. Pep Boys really has a valuable employee here & I wanted to highlight Emil & also recognize the entire crew at this location. They're all hard working & deserve the recognition. Shout out to Emil & his crew !!! Thank you xx read more

Was quoted $150 to install a Bolton hitch. That's a 20 minute job. Then when I stated that was a little excessive for a 20 minute job I was told to go to U-Haul and then hung up on by an employee named "juan". Super professional, ill be dropping by to confirm that name so i can make a complaint read more

Emil was amazing. He and the gentleman at the front desk were very responsive and they were able to fix my dead car battery on a Sunday when no other shop could. They were very fast, informative and they gave me a great deal. I highly recommend this shop and I will be back for my automotive needs. read more

do NOT take your car here, for ANYTHING. They will attempt to SCAM you. Let me share my story. For 3 years in a row, I took my car here to have the oil changed. EVERYTIME I came, they would try to find some BS excuse for me to replace something in the car that doesn't need to be replaced. Instead of changing the oil in a timely manner, they took their time trying to find anything they could charge me with. Every time I would be told I needed this, or that etc. They would turn a 40$ Oil change into a 250$ bill. This last time I went was the final straw. The Technician, a younger guy, called me over into the work area as I was waiting for my car to have the oil changed. He said that the threads on the screw plug of my oil pan was shredded, that I would need to leave the car in the shop overnight and pay 350$ for a new oil pan. I said "What?!" I can't leave my damn car overnight, how am I suppose to get to work tomorrow morning????? The guy behind the counter offered to give me a ride home in his personal car. Right, like I'm going to get in a car with a total stranger. The Technician even had the nerve to say "Wherever you went to change your oil before, they shredded the threads on your screw for the oil pan." I was furious. I told him that for the last 3 years I ONLY went to pep boys. He was speechless, then proceeded to make up some more Bull crap about why I needed my pan changed. The Pep Boys Technician was the one who shredded my threads by using power tools carelessly. He then tried to cover his mistake by blaming it on someone else, at the same time attempting to charge me for HIS MISTAKE. That day, I told them to change the oil, plug the screw back in, and give me my damn car back. I swear, this establishment needs to go up in flames. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY CAR HERE AGAIN. I RECOMMEND YOU DON'T EITHER. read more
