Used Yelp's business finder to get a few quotes for my two non-working low beam headlights, and…read morethis shop stood out right away. They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

I had been here once before and had a great experience, so when my car's AT light went on…read moreunexpectedly one night I called them first thing the next morning to see if they could get it in. They said they could and gave me a timeline for working on the vehicle that matched my needs. While I appreciate them getting me in on short notice, they consistently over-promised and under-delivered on when they would be able to work on my vehicle. They were able to diagnose a couple of leaks that they thought were the problem and sent me photos to show me what they were looking at. In the past when I've left my car at this shop for work they sent over a detailed estimate before starting the work, but this time I only received the verbal estimate over the phone. I drive an old car, which isn't worth much, and I did let the person know that I wasn't interested in investing more in repairs than the vehicle is worth. As it was, the two leaks were just over $1K to fix, and I OK'd the work to begin. After fixing the first two leaks, they then came back and told me there was a third leak, which would require a more major repair to the transmission and they would have to have their transmission person (who wasn't there that weekend) send me an estimate the next day. While I understand that it's plausible that the third leak wasn't something they could have originally diagnosed, it felt a bit weird that the photo they used to show me the leak was one of the original photos they had sent before starting any work. If the leak was visible in that photo, I'm unclear why they couldn't have diagnosed it earlier. The added cost of this additional repair definitely tips the scales of worth-it/not-worth-it to repair vs replace this car, so I wish I had had all the information before deciding to make the initial repairs. Unfortunately, despite stabilizing the ATF level, fixing the leaks did not resolve the transmission issue. On a smaller scale, they didn't check or top up the tire pressure, which most mechanics I've gone to have done as a courtesy when working on my vehicle. The day after I picked up my car the tire pressure light went on, and when I checked my tires all four of them had low pressure. It's a small thing, but especially when dealing with expensive mechanical items like cars, the small things matter a lot in creating a sense of security and trust with your mechanic. They did mention that they were under new management since the last time I had been in, which may account for the different experiences.

When my long time mechanic left town, I was recommended to Tom's and I can honestly say it was an A+ experience. Victor was knowledgeable, friendly and (most importantly) honest. I authorized certain services if they were needed and they declined to do them since they found they were not required at this time, which saved me a bit of money. The shop itself was very clean and professional, and packed-they have a lot of business. 10/10 for everything!

The service was professional, and they explained everything to me. They let me know that when one wheel bearing goes bad, the other one might do it shortly after. So I'm watching for that, and if it happens, I'll be heading right back to Ghassem's shop. It's on the corner of Clark and Atherton, right where the Strawberry stand always is. I've heard from a lot of people that this is a very trustworthy shop, and now I have firsthand experience.

Now three times, I have had wonderful service at this Pep Boys. I love the people behind the counter (I'm starting to recognize them) and I never get upselled into oil or other things I don't need/want. This time, aside from the oil change, I let them know I was having issues with squeaky brakes. I was taken back and shown my brake pads and given a quote. The price was reasonable and they were fixed in no time. I'll always drive right past Jiffy Lube to Pepboys for fast, honest service. Shout out to the manager (I can't remember his name) for his pleasant demeanor and helpful attitude.

I called Sunday to check on it and they said a technician wouldn't be in until Monday now. Monday rolls around and I call them again first thing in the morning and they tell me the technician doesnt come in until 11am! Not once did I receive a call/email/text regarding my car. I had to constantly call them (if I even got through because they will put you on hold and hang up. Multiple times!) Finally, they tell me that I just need a fuel hose clamp. It is now 310pm on Monday and they are requesting $300 for service and parts and I have until 315pm to decide, for the part to come in the next day. I agree and call back for an update the next morning and they said they would call me as soon as the part came in. Did they? No. Of course not. Then after extending our hotel checkout AGAIN (we are from out of state) at around noon, I called and was on hold for 30 minutes before the rude woman tells me, "oh the part came in and your car is ready". My car was filthy when I got it back. $300 and 4 days later for a hose clamp is ridiculous. Plus the lack of communication and respect for their paying customers should tell you to GO ANYWHERE ELSE! This place deserves 0 stars and I highly reccommend not bringing your vehicle here.

I requested a quote to recharge the AC system on a truck by method of evacuating and recovering the existing freon gas, vacuum testing the system for leaks, and then pumping the recovered gas back in along with any extra gas needed to meet factory spec. They were the first to respond (in what seem like less than 10 mins) with a base price plus a TBD cost of add'l freon I'd need. Their price was the lowest compared to all other Yelp responses I received by at least $40. Based off this very limited interaction, I'd recommend reaching out to them if you ever need any services.
