Never, ever go to Pep Boys for any reason!!! Years ago, I moved to Houston from FL. I had no friends or family where I could go to work on my car. I had very limited tools and space. When things went wrong that I couldn't do, I took my car to Pep Boys thinking that if anything went wrong, I could at least call the corporate 1-800 and complain, and be made right. I learned eventually that the Pep Boys 1-800 was crap and the service was even worse. It varied from mildly, maliciously irritating to horribly and completely incompentent. (really, I think 98% of my problems were due to gross incompentence with very little "let's just screw him, he'll never know the difference") Fortunately, I did know the difference and didn't let them intentionally screw me, but I did bear the brunt of the incompetence.

Reminds me of the rant from Lethal Weapon 2
