Actually I hesitate to recommend these guys now. Both times I brought my car in they missed a major problem, so after I paid it turned out my car was not fixed at all. The first time they went above and beyond to make it good. The second time they made good but I had to fight for it. It was very stressful and disappointing to happen twice in a row, which tells me maybe someone's not doing their job in the shop.

These guys have been our mechanics for 7 years now, and they are good people!
I even recommended them to my ex-husband (who is NOT my worst enemy, ha ha) who was SHOCKED they didn't try to sell him all kinds of services he didn't need like some other shop did!

Good luck!

If you are looking for a bit more extensive reviews and feedback then visit yelp.com BTW, for entertainment purposes do a search for Pep Boys within Yelp and you will run with fear reading the reviews.

Pep Boys is the worst place. I used to work there, and man were the customers on average the most irritated bunch out there. Not really due to any of their own doing, but rather because Pep Boys is a "hack" automotive store at best. If I had a beater car, I would think about taking it to Pep Boys. If you have a car you actually value and like to drive, don't go to this chain store from hell.

Can't beat the convenience because he comes right to you. He was referred to me by a friend and I have recommended him to friends also, so far I'm really satisfied.

Do it yourself and save yourself $850 and learn something in the process. Screw up? It's fine you have a spare $850 to try again.

p.s. lol at the adverts in the posts above me! ^^^
