Do not go here! They charged me $1,000. Replaced my water pump and it was broken next week. I had to get it replaced. They did a better job in Mexico for way less! The mechanic in Mexico said they did a horrible job and could not believe they overcharged me. I did not know pep boys could scam people this way. Be careful everyone! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Every time I come to this Pep Boys and now it's been on two different occasions I made an appointment for oil change at 1030 Guy tells me we don't do oil changes on the half hour well your website lets you do it. Then today I go in for an oil change at 10 o'clock same excuse I made it at 10 oh we don't have the people to help us this place has the worst customer service and probably the most unreliable place I've ever seen for any sort of vehicle maintenance stay away horrible horrible horrible place read more

Aircon went out. Repair was ASAP, and reasonably priced. Way better and cheaper than dealer. I'm impressed, and grateful.

The people seemed nice, but I feel they are overcharged ASF. They actually did the work without permission and I paid it just because I didn't want to blow a gasket no pun intended. Their services are pretty much doubled anywhere else. They couldn't even explain their troubleshooting process to me which was super sketch. Now they want more money to fix a problem they never fixed the first session. Stay away from this place they will tax you and not even do proper maintenance. I repeat go elsewhere, I learned my lesson, take the warning seriously. read more

Trash ass place especially Pedro! Dude is rude and demeaning! Don't try to talk over me when I'm asking questions about how ima service MY car. Pedro even admitted a service tech from Evan's tire went beyond the bare minimum& helped me more than what Pep Boys would do when I was explaining my issue. Yes I was mad&annoyed to get the run around, but understand where I'm coming from. How was I suppose to know I was to ask for specific questions and details pertaining to the services I need done. Only saving grace from my review was Alondra&Darnel who were the original people who helped me. Last time I am ever going there! I guess what Pedro implied& helped me realize was their service isn't through as to what you're requesting. Never assume you'll get COMPLETE help from them if you don't request specifics. read more

They do a great job at a great price and have a Quick turn around time. There my go to guys for oil changes for sure. read more

Pep Boys, Jamacha Blvd, in Spring Valley. Very poor customer service. Ordered 4 tires on clearance sale, which never came. When a call was made to check on order status, the Store Manager was condescending and rude implying that "you get what you deserve" when you order cheap tires. After several weeks, confirmation notice that the tires were not coming. No surprise that Discount Tires, Costco etc are in a separate upper class of tire stores. read more

I only marked 1 star cuz I couldn't do negative stars. I had a diagnostic scan ran on my truck when the check engine light came on and 6 codes showed up. I then took my truck to PepBoys to be repaired and the same 6 codes came up on the diagnostic scan they ran. They quoted me $2,034 for the repairs & called me later that day and said they quoted me for the wrong part and it would be a $800 difference for the right part my new total would be $2432. I asked if that Would fix all the codes that came up, specifically asking about the p0305 code since I had that repaired by them about a year ago. They said yes and assured me that my truck would be running like new. I paid for it and it was fixed the next day. When I picked it up the mechanic came in with a OEM part and showed me, stating that it was the main reason for my engine problems. He told me they replaced it with a metal one and that my engine would be running like brand new again. I live less then to 2 miles away for PepBoys. my check engine light came back on before I got home. I immediately called and informed them. Returned it Asap & they scanned it and I was told it was a p0305 code. (1 of the codes that they told me was already repaired.) The manager told me It wasn't serious and that I can still drive it but it would be better to bring it in sooner then later. I had to go to work but as I drove away it began to over heat, less then 2 blocks away so I turned around and left it with them to be fixed. Now they want to charge me $5400 to repair it, that's on top of the $2400 I already paid. F@?K PepBoys @ 8888 Jamacha, 91977. This place is a ripoff. There only defense is that the codes were all clear when I picked it up. (There is an option to clear codes when you run a diagnostics test. That's how you check to see if the problem reoccurs after it's been fixed.) read more

My car key got stuck and bent in the ignition and Craig was able to be flexible and helped me on the spot despite how busy and low staff they were. Really appreciate the person and the hospitality. I've been coming to this location for my tire stuffs too and they were able to get it fixed and would recommend me what is the best options too. read more

I am a long time customer here in Spring Valley location. I scheduled an appointment earlier today for 1200 to fix a very simple tire issue. At 1135 I received a voicemail from their employee in the counter (caucasian, bald) telling me that they cannot service it. I was waiting for their manager, Harold to speak with but apparently he was conveniently taking lunch. I was getting a bit frustrated by the way I was being taken care of by their employees. Salvador then came in the show room asked me if I have been helped. I just told him that i just wanted to find out if the tire is repairable since in my head this store is straight garbage for having no customer service on a simple fix and there was a bit of hope when Salvador said he can fix it. Still no sign of Harold. When I went inside, Harold was finally there. I told him Salvador will look into it to which he replied "no, he knows there are a lot of cars to work on today". This was probably one of the worst experiences I have had with Pepboys and will definitely never return. Harold can huff and puff inside that little store of his, I really hope the store will keep on losing customers since the other guy left and you all are left with Mr. tough guy HAROLD. read more

I just called and I said I have a 92 Jeep Wrangler with broken door latches. I asked how much to fix them, how much for the parts and labor. He said he would have to charge me for an electrical diagnostic. I went on to educate him that this vehicle has no electrical in the doors. The doors come off there are no power windows power locks. He went on to say that he would still have to charge me for electrical diagnostic when there is no electrical whatsoever in the doors. seriously is he just trying to pocket the money or what. read more

I appreciate the tech and the store manager so much! They worked really diligently to find the cause of my car issues. And even though my car had to stay 1 day longer than anticipated, it was taken care of. I have been a long time customer and after my recent experience, I will stay a long time customer. I have 2 other cars they service on regular basis. read more

Pep Boys has been my go to the last few years with getting my brakes serviced. It also helps that this location is close to my house. But I wanted to leave a review because of Matt's awesome customer service today. I waited longer than usual today for my oil change. He was very sincere when he apologized about the inconvenience and even offered a discount. I would definitely recommend Pep Boys for any of your car needs. read more

The smog check took me 20 minutes of time and 38 dollars. Danny was very friendly and helpful. I'll come back for next smog check for sure. read more

Worthless place for car service. We had gone in to change the brake pads and had to keep coming back because they screwed the pooch and needed to keep fixing it. Ultimately ruined the rotor and costing us hundreds of dollars more. Meh, for those who need a quickie oil change or whatever, but those are my two cents. And not just that one issue, several but not worth typing all of it. read more

I got a new car last year and my old car has been parked ever since. I needed to renew my registration for the old car, which meant getting a smog check. However, the battery is dead/bad and would need to be replaced first, which meant I would need a tow (I watched YouTube and decided I couldn't do it myself). As you can see, this was becoming a whole production.  I admit, I don't know anything about cars and my husband was busy with work so I knew I had to handle this on my own. I did a little research beforehand to see approximate costs for tow, battery & battery replacement, oil change, etc.  Since PepBoys seemed to be a one-stop shop (including tow), I decided to go that route even if I could have saved a couple bucks elsewhere. I chatted online with a PepBoys representative and she was quite helpful. At the end of our conversation, I had a good idea of what I had to do and how much it was going to cost me so I scheduled an appointment.  A couple days later, it was time to call the Pep tow. I even took the day off for this. My husband kept warning me not to allow them to upsell me anything because they might try to take advantage of me. I was a little worried but was hoping and praying all would go smoothly because it had to get done.  The tow arrived quickly (before I even had a chance to arrive at the location of the car). I didn't want him to wait so we met up at the PepBoys on Jamacha instead. I spoke with Matt at the front desk. He started talking about the different oils for the oil changes and I was just waiting for him to try to sell me something that I really didn't need but, to my surprise, he didn't. He checked me in and told me it would take maybe an hour to an hour and a half to complete.  I did some work on my laptop as I waited in the little waiting area. To be honest, time flew and I didn't even realize I had been there longer than he had quoted me.  When I went up to the counter to pay, Matt explained what they had completed and he even compensated me for the long wait time! I was grateful for that, but I didn't mind the wait because I knew there were other customers and delays happen, plus I was in no big rush. I wanted to tip, but he wouldn't accept a tip either! He didn't even try to sell me anything additional! He even explained how my car's system had reset and how I would have to drive the car around a little before attempting a smog check (which I had actually read about online prior). Since I no longer drive this car, I asked him if there was anything they could do to speed up this process, which there was... but he did not recommend that I pay them a few hundred dollars just to have one of his guys drive my car around town for me (I can't say that I didn't consider it for a second though. LOL). As someone who legitimately does not know much about cars, I was expecting to be greeted by a pushy salesperson, which has happened in the past. I was already expecting to have to call my husband for backup, but I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to here. Matt was extremely helpful and honest and I highly recommend this place for their good work and for their integrity. I will be back for any of my automotive needs (I hope you guys know a thing or two about EV).  Thank you for your service and, more importantly, for the great experience, Matt & team! read more

This team took especially good care of me! Thank you guys! I will return for anything I need done to my car! I had the suspension redone, and a computer reset which seemed to boggle other places the gents handled with ease! Cheers read more

Pep Boys - Tires Near Me - Spring Valley, California

It's my first visit with you guys and the experience was great.. you guys have a nice clean store and I was greeted as soon as I walked in .. I came in during the week because my tire pressure was low and Matt helped me check them . He was very friendly and took care of my tires. Due to the friendliness and fast service I came in to get an oil change. When I came in for the service James greeted me and helped me and was very friendly and personable. I will continue to take my car with you guys and I will recommend my family and friends! Thank you! read more

Second time bringing my Jeep here and very disappointed and irritated both times. this last time I brought my Jeep I called before scheduling and specifically asked if they could replace my front wheel SPEED SENSOR and was told they could do it when I arrived at the appointment I got told I had to pay for an abs diagnostic which was 20 dollars and was confused bc it's just a wheel SPEED Sensor but when along with it I received a call after about 2 1/2 hours for them to tell me i need tire pressure sensors. again I didn't understand why it was so confusing bc I specified that I needed WHEEL SPEED SENSORS multiple times . Then they told me to do that I would have to pay $100 for a diagnostic to tell me something I already know. I just payed the $20 and got my Jeep i will never go back. So moral of the story is don't waste your time with them they have no clue what they are talking about even for the most simple of work. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. I've never once had a problem until I dealt with Harold these past couple days. I called to schedule an appointment for service on my vehicle. Over the phone he was very condescending and rude. He lacks customer service and the way he communicate with customer made me feel uncomfortable. My information is in the system and I had purchased a package that comes with oil change, wheel alignment, and tire rotation. I informed him that and he told me that pep boy doesn't offer any package like that. In my response I told him I had vouchers/book to prove it and he said we'll see if it works. After our phone conversation I told myself sometimes things can't get misconstrued and that I shouldn't think much of it. Nope! He was the same way when I seen him in person. I showed up to my appointment 15 minutes early and he told me that his technician won't be in for another 45 minutes. And that the entire wait would be a few hours. I had to pick up my daughter from school so I told him I set up this appointment thinking it wouldn't take longer than 2 hours for an oil change and tire rotation. Then he corrected me and said yea that's what I said. A couple hours. When he CLEARLY said a few hours. His demeanor and tone was rude. So I left for another pep boy. I went home and told my brother in law about everything that occurred and he told me this same guy has given him fits in the past as well. Don't come get your car serviced at this location or you'll be told your wrong in everything you say from Harold. read more

Thanks to the guys at this Pep Boys for the quick tire fix on our rental. They had the screw out and tire patched in quick order. Special thanks to the speedy skilled tech Salvador and the manager Matt for getting us back on the road. read more

Terrible service. Told the guy at the front that I all I wanted was an oil change. Sat here for an hour while they had my truck in the back. Never sat here waiting so long for an oil change ANYWHERE ELSE. Then come to find out they were about to rotate my tires. Like what are these people doing?!? I made an appointment, go here early. They took my truck in on time but I'm still currently sitting in the waiting room waiting on my truck for what should of been a 20 minute oil change!!!!! read more

Amazing service! I had battery problems and needed a new one. Matt was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. I was in and out quickly and felt I had gotten a great deal paired with, as I said, amazing service. I highly recommend this Pep Boys! @trailmixandchocolate read more

I don't recommend going here. Went here on my day, didn't schedule an appointment due to my hectic work schedule. Brought my truck in for an alignment around 8-9am. Left the keys. Called at 5:30pm to check up on it. They close at 7pm by the way. They said they had a fleet customer on the rack and mine would be the next one up. Was so upset I told them I'd take my keys and get an alignment elsewhere. Last time I checked it doesn't take 10hrs to do an alignment. read more

Update from my previous review: brought my car to the dealership to get my brake check for the crappy job these people perform in my car only to find out from my dealership that the shingles are missing and they put a cheap break pads and they put it upside down that is the reason it keeps on squeaking. Do this people even know what they're doing? It makes me wonder whats the qualifications to be a pepboys mechanic this is so disappointing. I highly encourage everyone to not waste your time coming to this shop if you don't want to spend more than you have plus the bad service and bad attitude of the manager here not worth it -0 stars for me if it's possible! Also They contacted me from previous review I posted saying one of they senior manager will contact me and help resolve the problem but it wasn't. Its the rude guy from the shop that I brought it too who called me. Instead of offering solutions this dude was being a smart ass. Never bringing a car here again ever nor suggesting this shop to anyone I know to save them from the stress. Now I have to pay again for my brake to get it fix from the un-professional work they did only good thing about this time Is I won't have to worry because I know it's in good hands with my dealership. read more

These guys are extremely slow and poor customer service. I took my car in for an emergency repair because it was over heating. They ordered the parts they needed but told me only one guy at that shop is qualified to do the work. It has taken 5 days for a job that should only have taken 3 hours. read more

Had a really positive experience with Rudy. I brought my Acura in for a tire repair - losing air - found a nail. I wanted to get a repair kit for my tire in case of an emergency on a road trip.

Pep Boys - Tires Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I usually use Pep Boys in Santee which has always been great. I tried using Pep Boys in Spring Valley because it is close to my home. Never again, they took forever to do the oil change & were more interested in up selling other mechanical to do's vs getting the oil changed. I've been here 1 1/2 hours waiting & they just started my oil change. It is worth the drive to go to Santee Pep Boys. Live & learn. read more

I stopped by to see if I can get my window repaired for my car. I walked in and wasn't greeted to begin with then I waited about 20 and the guy working the front desk didn't say a word to me or guy in front of me. I ended up leaving. I will never go back to this location and I will tell my friends not to go. read more

David ignore me as soon as I walked with no hello or welcome, he was with another customer but a simple, I will be right with you, would of be nice. Felt little awkward standing there waiting, when I had an appointment read more

I brought my car here because it was in my list of companies that I could use with my warranty. After diagnosis and repair of my vehicle everything seemed ok. Then I needed something else diagnosed and again came here through my warranty company. Dropped my car off with Harold. After having my car all day they had not even moved it from the original spot. When asked what was going on Harold and his bad attitude and lack of customer service caused me to take my car and leave. So then I realized today that the original work that was done on my car is having the same issue. I call to see if the work or parts were guaranteed and what do you know, Harold answered and was again rude and gave me no answers as if they could guarantee the work that they did just a month ago. I would NEVER want to go here again Harold is rude and should not be able to deal with customers. read more

I had a 10:00 a.m appointment for an oil change. I was told I ask to drop my vehicle off and I would get it back a little after noon. Lies the did not touch my car until after 4:00 p.m. Absolutely horrible customer service. This is my first and last time using this so called establishment. read more

I can not give this business a high enough rating...5 just isn't enough. I took my daughters car in to have the alternator replaced. They discovered that the car had a manufacturer recall on the alternator. They did not have to tell me that. They could have replaced it and charged me over $400 but they didn't. They recommended that I take it to the dealership for a free repair. I am so thankful to them for their honesty and integrity. The mechanic Pedro Guerra, the Service Manager Matthew Fasig and the rest of the staff at this Pep Boys thank you very much. read more

I called on Monday to make an appointment for some time this week. They were able to fit me in Tuesday for a high mileage oil change, tire rotation and possibly a new drain plug. The guy at the front desk was very accommodating and let me know they were slightly backed up but would be done with my car in ninety minutes or less. The whole thing ended up taking two hours which wasn't a big deal to me but the technician and the front counter associate apologized for it taking longer then expected. They even competed my entire transaction. Such amazing customer service. I will for sure be back to this location. read more

They are honest and helpful. My mom brought my car here for what we thought was an alternator that needed replacing. But they didn't sell us something we didn't need, in fact they told my mom my car had a recall on that part. I appreciate their customer service! read more

Service was nice but also absolutely terrible and completely incompetent staff who cant fix anything. I had an appointment and was told it will take about an hour so I just waited outside very patiently and than one hour simple evaluation ended up taking 5 hours. Absolutely nothing got fixed just simply wasted time sitting outside waiting for nothing. Absolutely nothing to do with covid just pure laziness and incompetence of the satff who have no idea how to fix anything or even make any evaluation. read more

I have had countless encounters with this shop and the crew. Service advisors James and Terri are always extremely friendly, helpful, and fun to have a conversation with. Also Travis has spent a lot of time with me diagnosing my 350z and helping me figure out exactly what the problem may be. He really does quality work and is very experienced! Lastly the store manager Matthew provides unparalleled customer service and really makes me and my family feel valuable. They all have earned us as customers for like and I will always highly recommend this shop. read more

See all

A few yrs back they were decent garage, but now... they'll try & rip u off work & money wise!!! Tall Manager the worst!! Be careful if u don't know about cars or what's included in "job" he's got a slick tongue to make u feel like ur stupid! read more

I went there to get a tire changed because I had got my tire popped in the freeway while I was with my daughter. I pull in the shop and "Harold" greeted me with "can you move your van we need to pull our cars out" I said, ok. I have a popped tire as you can see (totally visible). Didn't even say Good morning. Looked like he woke up pissed. Then, I'm waiting in front of the door waiting for the shop to open and he comes unlocks, walks back to his computer and doesn't acknowledge me at the door doesn't even have the courtesy to open it and greet me the correct way, like discount tire would. We are already on a bad start. He then tells me he can't switch my tire and tries to get me to buy all 4. You guys are a joke. I'm trying to pay 180 for one tire and was totally fine with that. mightht of bought all four but this jerk made me think otherwise. Took my business elsewhere. Hope you guys don't have to deal with BS service, so I leave this here in hopes that mom and pops businesses get business, Instead of these rude, greedy companies. Do surveys on your customers and have them write reviews on the service wether they were a customer or not because sometimes the service will turn you away from becoming a customer. read more
