They Charged me over 800 to Fix my A/C and didnt fix it.
I took the truck, because the A/C was not working, I am an older lady, and I don’t know anything about cars, I asked the attendant to please run all the necessary test to identify the problem with my A/C and they told me ( and charge me) that they would run the DELUXE A/C check. They said that the problem was a faulty hose. I told them to fix the problems. I paid and I took the truck home. As soon as I drove of, I notice that the air was blowing cold in the front, but the back of the truck remained REALLY HOT. I took it back to the shop, and after days there, they called me to tell me that they didn’t know what the problem was and that I needed to take the vehicle to the manufacturer dealer. I asked what had happened, that the vents in the back were working when I had brought it in, and that even when they ran the diagnostic they hadn’t found any problems with the vents, but they just started to act REALLY rude, and started harassing me for asking questions.
I asked to talk to the manager, but he was never available to speak to me. I escalated the situation to the service area director Mr. Christopher Roach and after we called him several times, he answered saying that he was on a meeting and that he couldn’t help me at that moment and he hang up on me.
I spoke with Lea Kelly, the store manager, but her demeanor couldn’t be any ruder. She would roll her eyes every time I tried to explain my situation. I felt so frustrated; no one seems to be willing to help. I called the 1800 number and when I explained the situation, the customer service lady (Kayla Thomas) told me that the system was down and that if I wanted to do anything I needed to call back at a later time. I wanted to speak to her supervisor, but I was told that Mr. Martin Thomas was unavailable to me. I felt even worse, but since she didn’t mention anything about the system being down but until I mention the complaint, then I called right after she hang up. Once I reached another customer service rep, he took the complaint and gave me a reference number: 149-405.
It made me wonder if all the rep wanted was to get me off the line. The company supposly has a 100% satisfaction guarantee or they offer a refund. I demand that they honor their guarantee and refund me my money, or fix my AC.

Rip off
I purchased a Baja 50cc ATV four wheeler from Pep Boys for my son. That was the worst mistake I have ever made! After 1 1/2 hours of driving time on this machine, it failed to start. I contacted Baja within the 90 day warranty period to let them know about the problem and they refused to fix it. Not to mention hanging up in my face. Pep Boys also refused to have any part of it. Pep boys did refer me to a hole in the wall mechanic shop, Acworth Cycle. Talk about a bunch of losers!!
I took Pep boys word that they were good and that they refer all of their ATV work to them. Boy do I feel like an idiot! I was quoted between $40-$60 dollars to clean the carburetor. And that it would be ready in 3 days. Ten days later, I contacted the mechanic and was told that my Baja 50 was just finished this day and that the cost of fixing it would be $250 by the owner of the place. When I questioned him as to why he would do unauthorized work on my machine without contacting me first, He told me that I should just come pay it and make my kid happy. Then told me if I brought him $215 cash, he would give me a discount. Hilarious! As we argued the point, he asked if I wanted them to put it back like it was. I told him yes! Then he told me... OK, I'll just *** it up then!!! Then he told me that that's what I get for buying a piece of sh#t! I was told that I would be contacted when they were finished f#cking up my machine so I can come pick it up. I apologize to any readers for the language in this letter. I am only quoting his words. Avoid any of these 3 companies mentioned here at all costs. I can't wait to have my day in court. They will all be summoned. Do not buy BAJA! Save yourself a lot of money and headaches. This BAJA 50 is still new and I'm sure that my child will never get to ride it again.

Scam and cheating
I dropped my stang off for a tire replacement on sun 7/27/08 and was told by the service dept mngr that he would have it "rush delivered" in 2 days. When thur came and went we called down there and a diff girl said "he" the service mngr, lied to you it won't be here till mon the earliest. we don't even have 2 day rush delivery. we were pissed but w/e. still needed a tire. So, mon came and we got a call from the mngr that the tire was "here, bruing the car down and we'll put it on for ya". We said you HAVE the car. He said, I do? Yeah and you EVEN have the keys. we just dropped them off with a dude last night (sun). He said he couldn't find my car and long story short it was stolen the ight before. So now i have no tire and no CAR!
He even had the balls to say "well i'll save th tire for ya". lol. we said what the *** we gonna put it on ***!

They are the worst
PepBoys they are horrible! I had to go back to their Newhaven CT twice for not knowing how to fix front end knocks and didn't even put in a battery I bought. I immediately had to bring my car to their Staten Island NY garage for something that should have been fixed at pepboys CT. and my car has been there 5 days now and they can't tell me when I will get my car back. They are the worst! My suggestion to anyone is don't bring your car there. The level of incompetence and poor customer service is the worst that I have ever seen.

I'll never go there again
Last Monday (Aug 25th 08) I went to Pep Boys to have a Truck Tool Box installed.
I left my truck at Noon, said they would call me when it was done, I live across the street from this Pep Boys, here comes 3PM, thought it would be done by now?.
They hadn't even touched my truck, still sitting in the place I left it! I said it has been 3 hours and you haven't even touched my truck, they said it would be another 30 minutes before they could get my truck into the bay.
So I told them to give me a call when it was done.
Here comes 4PM and guess what my truck was still sitting there!
Boy was I pissed at them, I said 4 hours and you haven't even touched my truck!
They were taking customers before me, I was pissed! Nobody seemed to care about my situation, they could have cared less! I said give me my keys I'm out of here, they couldn't even find my keys, no name on the attached tag!
I had to find them myself, went out to my truck and threw all the attached service records etc. on the ground and got the *** out of there!
I'll never go there again!

Bad oil job
Took my 2001 Toyota echo to Pep boys for an oil change and they overfilled the car potentially causing damage to my engine. The car only has a capacity of 3.7 quarts yet they billed me for 5 quarts of oil! Even Jiffy Lube only ever had the balls to charge me for 4 quarts of oil!
I won't dare let them touch it to drain the excess oil -- have read to many horror stories from people on hear who've gone back for re-work only to have their AC or something else mysteriously and "coincidentally" go out. What a crock of a place - no wonder they're going under.

Poor service
I took my car to pep Boys to get a free Brake Inspection, They had told me that I would need
new rear brakes, Master cylinder, two new tires, and to repack the barings. I t would cost $450.00 verbal estimate. No written estimate was given to me, they told me that my car would be done that Friday.
I called it was not done now it would cost another $100.00. Then on Saturday I was told it would need a Mastercylinder and it would cost another $100.00.
I had to miss my mini vacation with my son and he was disappointed. It was not right all customers should be given a written estimate, something to fall back on when this type of business likes to play around and not tell you the whole story.

Terrible experience
I used to be a constant customer of Pep Boys that does not care about their customer service. I took my car into Pep Boys in January 2008 for them to repair my brakes which I was charged very close to $600.00 of repairs. Well it is July 2008 and I am having the same exact issue for Pep Boys to tell me that I have to pay an additional $130.00 for more brake work. When I went into the store to get my car back I was immediately attacked by an associate letting me know that nothing was going to be done in my favor which I had no business with this individual. It is strongly advised that we as the consumer save our money and go to an organization that is worthy of the service and going to complete the job correctly the first time. The bad thing about all this is that people are amazed that I paid $600.00 for just the back brake job.

Horrible service
Patchogue N.Y. went in for 4 tires on Tuesday, when I went to pick up the car they said 1 tire had a hole in the side and had to order a new one. So they put 1 different brand tire on, ok. Than when I got home I realized that they ruined the rim. Just had the correct tire put on tonight and they said they would look for a junk yard rim to replace it. Ok. when I went outside to leave I saw the lower body moldings popped out and cracked from putting the car on the lift improperly also dragged the greasy air hose across the top of the car scratching the sh-- out of it.

Awful company
I took my car to PepBoys on Lafayette road in Indianapolis IN they told me I needed struts and I told them to change my serpentine belt because 2 weeks prior there was a small squeak they changed the belt broke my pulley to my water pump which caused engine damage. They broke the screw on one of the struts and did not tell me until they were about to close the store and told me I had to come back the next day to pick it up. There Insurance company came out and totaled my car but never PAID.
