User Reviews of Pep Boys Automotive

DO NOT use these guys. Rude, unprofessional, long waits. Absolutely no customer service. You can also get cheaper.

This is my first time writing a review online but I had such a bad experience with pepbboys that I had to. Do NOT use this place. You may think they have the cheapest prices but if you shop around you can get...

Yelp.com Review - by Eliza M.

1.0 of 5 stars. I hesitate to post a review of an experience I had five years ago, but based on these reviews, nothing much has changed. Long story short, I tried out this Pep Boys when I moved to Chicago, when I…

1.0 of 5 stars. Uh, I took my car in here this weekend as a pipe fell off my car, I needed my tires rotated, and fluids topped off. They were right about the pipe (it was a heat guard and not super important, and…

Worst Experience with an Auto Mechanic Shop Ever Completly INCOMPETENT STAFF, who is in charge?

This place takes hours and day's to diagnose your car. Paperwork is all over the place. Good luck talking to anyone that know's the status of your car. Misdiagnosed my car and tried to charge me an...

Yelp.com Review - by Leah P.

1.0 of 5 stars. My rating would actually be a half star, if I had that option. I have been a loyal and patient customer of Pep Boys for 5 years. This past year has been enough to make me NEVER want to go back to them…

1.0 of 5 stars. A NIGHTMARE. I would rather go to the Post Office, the DMV, and the County Court Office on Christmas Day than step foot in this place again.

2 hr oil change and a flat tire....you do the math!

I was the first, and ONLY, person in their store when it opened on a Monday morning for an oil change and the usual tire pressure check, etc. The guy at the desk (who would rather die than say three words to...

1.0 of 5 stars. Hmmmmm. Kick my shins, yell in my ear, pull my eye brows out one by one with some rusty-ass tweezers, put tabasco sauce in my ear or my eyes, but please don't make me take my car to Pep Boys!

1.0 of 5 stars. Less than one star. We brought our Honda here for new front brakes. The brakes still made noise after we got the car back so we took it back to Pep Boys. They said they would take a look at it and…

1.0 of 5 stars. Honestly, I should be reviewing myself for 1 star - I was dumb enough to take my car here for years as it was close to my house and I was lazy/stupid. I'm embarrassed to admit how much of my money…

Horrible Service, Rude Employees

I'll never come here again unless I'm interested in more rude treatment by the employees. I have no idea how there people stay in business.

3.0 of 5 stars. The place is accessible (after you get away from the fullerton/elston intersection from hell) and they have what you need for your vehicle. My only issue is that "mechanics" must troll the parking…

Rude staff, Long wait, and was told that my car was fixed only to find out it wasn't

1. Was told that it would take 2 hours tops, and it took 4 hours 2. They lost track of my car, and misplaced the paperwork. 3. My car's temp. gauge had been running all the way to hot, and that is the reason I...

Rude and Unprofessional from start to finish

They make promises and don't deliver. Specifically, they don't know how to pick up the phone and let you know what is going on with your vehicle. They promise that they will look at your car by noon, and it...
