Pep Boys

Pep Boys is an American-based automotive service firm that was established in 1921 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was first referred to as “Manny, Moe & Jack,” after its founders. Still based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, Pep Boys began as Pep Auto Supply; its core business is automotive maintenance and repair services.

Pep Boys has a chain of service and tire stores throughout the country that offer both routine and advanced repairs to vehicles. The services include oil change, brake repair, tire fitting, tire change, wheel alignment, battery change, and engine checkup, as well as general vehicle checkup. These are the services that are administered by qualified automotive technicians to assist customers in maintaining vehicle safety and vehicle performance. Fleet services of 3-3000 cars are also offered by the company. Numerous service destinations enable patrons to make appointments on the internet and have their cars checked prior to the commencement of repairs.

Another product line Pep Boys offers is tire sales and tire care, along with products from leading tire manufacturers, as well as installation and balancing. It sells a variety of tires based on requirements, including all-season, winter, trailer, tire warranties, shop tires, and shop makes and models. The customers are able to buy tires at the company’s site or service centers and have them installed in the neighboring places. Tire services usually involve balancing, checking, and alignment of tires with the view of extending their life span and enhancing safety during driving.

Pep Boys can be found in more than 750 stores around the nation and has more than 4,500 qualified technicians, who work on millions of vehicles annually. Over the years, the company has changed its strategy of selling auto parts from consumers to the main target of professional service and tire centers. This transformation is indicative of the general trends of the automotive aftermarket industry, where an increasing number of vehicle owners prefer to employ trained technicians to maintain and repair their vehicles instead of repairing them themselves.

Pep Boys still aims at tire services and automotive repair, and still helps the drivers with professional care of their cars in the United States.
