Store front
Emmett T.

I've had a love/hate relationship with this branch of Pep Boys over the years. The location is very convenient for me, but I have seen the business evolve and not necessarily in the best way because it's all about cost cutting and the bottom line. The hours of operation and availability for walk-in service are certainly positives. I don't think I have ever been scheduled for an appointment more than one day out. They also offer free WiFi so you can sit in the waiting area and surf the internet to kill time. That being said, Pep Boys used to be more of an automotive supply store and repair shop. The first attribute has disappeared, and they now just sell tires and service vehicles. The exterior signage has been reduced in size, and the inside has been gutted and whittled down to a small footprint. The furnishings in the waiting area were minimal and formerly had a communal TV, but that was removed. Complimentary ride share service was previously offered, however that was discontinued several months ago. The service I have received seems to vary depending on who you get as an advisor. Some of them take the time to explain the work in detail and provide follow-up via phone calls over the course of the day. On other occasions, I have had to dial up the main line to ask for updates and a cost estimate. Now that I am switching away from a gasoline-powered vehicle, my recurring visits to Pep Boys will be minimal.

Entrance to loosing your money

I would give 0 stars, came here with no car problems. I only got new tires from here and not only did they not put the bolts correctly on my tires... the car started having problems that it never had before. Hemorrhaging money from customers is morally wrong. They not only take their time, they take away as much money as they can even if its for something thats not needed. Don't trust this place my people, i wasted hours here and it's not worth the headache.

Is it that difficult to remove old reminder stickers???  Just noticed this today when my new reminder sticker was peeling off!

I made an appointment online yesterday for 12:30 pm today. I showed up almost 30 minutes early and within an hour, my car's oil change was complete. I like the fact that they have wi-fi and a waiting area so I was able to get a little work done while waiting. I also like that they have a "bring your own oil and filter package" for $22 labor and offer military discounts. Only two minor issues came up: 1. When I got in my car, I noticed that the new service reminder sticker was peeling off and then I discovered that they did not remove the old ones! Then again, the Chula Vista - Tierra Del Rey location did the exact same thing which I discovered today! 2. Two of the three credit card swipe machines didn't work so I got moved to another register a few times. Very minor inconvenience. Other than that, I am happy with the work that they did and will be going back for my next oil change. Thanks guys for the fast oil change and great customer service!

The value is whatever you're able to pay. There's a parts store next to them. They have the technical know how, equipment, and tools to do just about anything to a vehicle. Discounts are available.

Made appointment at 1pm. Oil change took 5 hours. Nice workers, but the service is really slow. Much better shops to go for service.

Kassandra was also very welcoming and thoughtful, she even recommended a small bakery nearby if I wanted a comfortable place to relax while waiting. As a woman, it can sometimes be difficult to find a mechanic you feel comfortable with and can trust not to take advantage of you. This was absolutely the best place to go,I felt respected, informed, and completely at ease throughout the whole process. Overall, an AMAZING experience. I truly appreciate the great customer service!

Are you going to warranty issues that arise to the switching to an oil that would void a mfg…read morewarranty? I bet not! Higher viscosity leads to higher pressures which lead to seals leaking and failing. I'm really surprised you haven't researched this. How about the leaking oil filter a day after install? Seems like a sure way to get more money outta a customer once their engine gets starved of oil. How about the sloppy work with oil left all over my car? Lack of care and integrity. How about the scratches from resting my tires on the paint of my car? Lazy and inconsiderate. Pulled from the article that copied and pasted "Engine Design Changes: Newer Toyota engines are designed with tighter tolerances and specific lubrication needs that necessitate these thinner oils, such as OW-16 or OW-8." Exactly my 2019 Lexus ux250 is a newer Toyota engine if you weren't aware , so why are changing it?

Brought my Jeep Wrangler back to Life!…read more I feel safe driving my 2007 Jeep again, it even drives noticeably better! After leaving me stranded, Meineke found out it was just a broken transmission cable and repair was ~$600. Not accusing my old mechanic for the broken cable, the Jeep is from 2007 after all, but he told me it wasn't worth fixing and offered me $2K for it. Thank goodness my boss, a VP, recommended I towed it to Meineke in PB! Not only they did the repair but took the time to ask me what my goal was for the Jeep, keep or sell, and gave me confidence keeping it. It has a few leaks but it's in good shape for my commute and some camping trips out in Anza. Although they were closing on a Friday, they even took the time to teach me, LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER, how to keep an eye on the coolant and oil to make notes on the leaks to go over on our next oil change. Thank you Meineke Team!

The owner was kind and helpful. He told me exactly what I needed and was straight and to the point. He was also very knowledgeable and I can tell he has some real experience.

Sorrento Valley, Miramar

Bottom Line Upfront: Miramar Auto Repair is one of the best values of any auto shop in San Diego…read more Jason and Pedro were exceptional in taking care of me, and finding a solution to a very technical challenge. I brought in my Honda Ridgeline for an issue with my AC. Jason worked with me at the front-desk and went above and beyond to understand my issue and the troubleshooting I had already done. He explained to me CONCISELY what the feasible issue may be, and how they were going to approach a diagnosis. Jason was extremely knowledgeable, and followed up promptly to discuss the fix. Pedro was also exceptional. He found the issue (rodent-chewed wires) and repaired it perfectly. When I picked up my car, he was as excited as I was to have helped me. Before Miramar Auto, I took my truck to the Honda dealer, and they charged twice as much for a diagnosis, only to tell me that I would need a new compressor (incorrect diagnosis) and that it would cost twice as much as I ended up paying out the door at Miramar auto. I couldn't believe how easy Miramar Auto made it. To say that Jason, Pedro, and Miramar Auto are honest, fair, and made me feel taken care of... would be an understatement. They have rightfully earned another lifelong customer. Thank you Miramar Auto!

I came in for a Toyota hybrid brake calibration since I tripped ABS codes when doing a brake bleed…read moreat home. Wife and I communicated to Miramar Auto Repair first thing Monday to help us do the calibration. Plans changed so we rescheduled for Tuesday. That reschedule got us a different sales representative. He thought we needed a simple brake flush. This miscommunication lead to a 1-hour appointment with a $200+ bill for a service I already did to the car and the original problem wasn't solved. After some problem-solving and listening to the recorded phone call, we found where the miscommunication was. There's nothing better than a shop who listens to their customers, understands exactly what they need, and executes. Miramar Auto Repair did exactly that once we talked it out and removed the charge for the flush. I was out in 10 minutes after the calibration and am very happy with the end result. Thank you! I have found my trusted shop now.

One of my favorite things about working with them is how streamlined their communication is -- they text you for service updates, confirmations, and even invoices, which makes everything so efficient and easy to manage. No phone tag, no waiting around -- just clear and consistent updates throughout the entire process. Both times I've taken my vehicle to Minsky, I've left impressed by not only the quality of service but also their attention to detail. They go above and beyond to accommodate scheduling needs and are transparent with pricing, which I really appreciate. They're flexible, fair, and make an effort to explain exactly what's going on with your car. It's rare to find an auto shop that feels trustworthy and considerate -- and Minsky nails it on every front. Whether it's routine maintenance or more complex repairs, I've had nothing but great experiences here. I've already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so. If you're looking for dependable, professional, and genuinely kind service for your Mercedes or BMW, Minsky is the place to go.
