STAY AWAY from this Company. my wheel fell off my truck af getting new tires. Bent my axel, damaged the rim, broken studs. They refuse to document damages after I had the truck delivered to their front door. Wanted me to make a claim. I did and I received the most Ghetto rep with a bad attitude demanding that I have my truck towed to a shop with a lift and wait 3-5 days for a pep boy's claims guy looks at the damages. i Explained that I fixed my truck already and I'm not paying to have it towed. I asked if PepBoys would cover the cost of the tow. She said no and ended my claim. Also, the black rude btch at the Conroe office needs to be fired. After reading the other comments, there are many pe who had problems with pep boys and with this location (Conroe Texas). It cost ME over $1000 to fix my truck. STAY AWAY From PepBoys. Especially the Conroe location. read more

Customer service is awful and not willing to improve. Employee was very dismissive and didn't want to hear my complaint of website. He decided to walked away. When I asked him to simply listen so that he could take to his manager or corporate he said they don't care. Obviously he understands what an employee is. I've gone so far as letting corporate know what my complaints are. Up to them to fix or I'm never coming back. Way too many opting to put up with the lack of service. read more

I was there for 9 hours without communication. They could improve upon the service, efforts, and professionalism. Unfortunately, The management and mechanic lied on the inspection report. They didn't do a walk through of the car and service. One mechanic was assigned my car but another mechanic signed off on the inspection that the assigned mechanic couldn't answer. My experience felt very scheme like. The management walked away and tried to make it seem like I told them what to do (as if I'm the expert....). They changed my battery and said, Your car wouldn't start because there's no gas... (This is while we are both looking at the half filled gas tank).... As that clearly was not true. Their other expert suggestion for why it wouldn't start was "keep trying to start it until it flushes the air bubbles out... that happens sometimes" Don't worry... I receive no answers from anyone claiming to be an expert there. No one answered the next 10+ calls either. read more

Simple battery replacement turned into damaged transmission. They swapped the battery and knocked the transmission vacuum hose out. Truck died and towed into another pep boys. Pep boys even tried to charge me for the second service. Irreparable damage to my transmission after this incident, $5,000 screw up that I'm responsible for now. read more

Ripp OFF and ghetto service. Had my AC messed up by this location a few months ago. 1600.00 and AC still doesn't work. But, i decided to check prices at another Pep Boys (maybe it is just this location that is sketchy?)...Jones Road Pep Boys said 900 to fix my power steering AC condensor. North loop location quoted 2600.00. I said why are all your part 3x what i can get from autozone or carparts? there was no answer. Response was similar to talking to a kid that just got busted for lying. STAY AWAY FROM ALL PEP BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Messed up my tires leg nuts and studs. Please stay away from this place I even had to call off a day of work. Nonsense read more

Pep Boys - result of pep boys work - Auto Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

Why bother with appointment if they are so understaffed??? I'm missing work for this, and find it unacceptable customer service! read more

I needed some new windshield wipers and decided to buy them online to pick up in store. As soon as I submitted my order online, I received the order confirmation; and not two minutes later, I received another email telling me that my order was ready for pick up. I came a few hours later and walked in. There was a sign hanging on the ceiling that says "Online Purchase pick up here" with a picture of a finger pointing down. The problem is, it was pointing down at absolutely nothing! No registers, no desks, NOTHING! I don't even know why the sign even existed. Somebody asked me if I were there to pick up an online purchase. I told him and yes and he shouted at another staff member that I was there for pick up. The other staff member then went behind a help desk to look up my order and of course, my wipers were not ready because he had to go grab them. He then asked me if I was paying with cash or credit card. When I said credit card, then we had to move to the cash register to check out. The check out process was typical. I grabbed my wipers and walked out. Meh. Next time I'll stick with Amazon Prime so I don't have to deal with store staff who don't care for you. read more

Pep Boys - Where exactly is "here"?!?! - Auto Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

Took my car here for a routine synthetic oil change. I dropped it off and a few hours later picked up my car and drove straight home and parked in the garage. A few hours later I left and parked at a park. Turns out, my car had leaked oil all over the garage and there was a huge puddle at the park where I was parked. I dropped the car off at Pep Boys after hours with a note explaining the situation. They opened at 7:30 the next day. I didn't hear from them until I called them around 10. At that time, they said it needed a new gasket, they replaced it, and my car was ready. A few minutes later, they called back and said the car was not ready because it needed a new plug. They claimed the plug was warped, they should have seen it and they'll replace it. They were trying to get a plug and it was delayed getting there. 2 hours later, Pep Boys called and said they replaced the plug, but it was still leaking because the oil pan was cracked. We took our car from them and brought it to our trusted mechanic. Turns out, the oil pan threads were stripped - not an issue PepBoys had pointed out. The only positive on Pep Boys part was they refunded us our oil change. read more

Red Flag #1: When the reviews mention you should stay away, by all means STAY AWAY. Had an appointment scheduled yesterday, when I came into the appointment I was told that "no one is going to be in today to help you get your brake pads & oil changed" on 8/14/23. This was strange because why wasn't there ANYONE to help me get my maintenance done for this day. Red Flag #2: I decided to give it another shot today 8/15/23 in which they could redeem themselves. I had my appointment scheduled for 9:30 AM, so as I show up for my appointment on time, I was told by the front desk that "the guy who will be servicing your car for your brake pads & oil change won't be in till 11:00 am". Which boggles my mind because why have the system let me schedule an appointment for 9:30 AM when the damn person whose going to service my car won't be in till 11:00 AM??!! As upset as I was I still decided to wait after all, it should be quick and fast right? The guy who was going to maintenance my car finally came in and started to work on it. Red flag #3. The wait time here is so horrible. I cannot believe I waited/wasted 5 HOURS of my life from 9:30 AM till 2:30 PM to get maintenance on my car. It's like they do not have no sense of urgency at all and do not necessarily care if you have things planned outside of their location. Can you guys believe I MISSED WORK for what should've been an hour and a half at MAX. I wanted to express my frustrations to the manager so bad, however, I was just so glad that my car finished the maintenance it needed so I could get the hell out of there!!! I could not bear just one extra minute to be there. Overall the value of this location is just terrible. If anyone from corporate/managers/ business owners who actually care, please I beg of you READ the reviews and make CHANGES!!! There is no way that this location keeps having negative reviews back to back and yet nothing changes? However, I just know I may receive a lousy "We'RE SoRRy yOU dIDn'T rECiEVE tHE cARe yOU nEEdED" reach out link. I promise you by all means do not go to this location unless you have 5 hours to spare of your own time. Side note: That one review of the guy who got his truck maintenance here and one of his lug nuts wasn't properly screwed in which made his tire come off on the highway, now THAT's a review that will have forever have me scared for my life especially after driving off from this location and I hope that same review should steer your away from this location from the tire falling off to the poor customer service.. read more

I thought this place will fast oil change for my car but not I've been waiting for almost three hours. I realize that place reviews are pretty bad. I would not come here ever again. read more

On 11/16 Pep Boys installed new brakes, rotated wheels and an oil change on my F-150 truck. On the morning of 11/18 (less than 50 miles after service) while traveling on 1-10 detected a drive train vibration. Immediately exited the freeway. Vibration worsened while looking for safe place to get out of active traffic. While still on active roadway left rear tire fell off. It stayed under wheel well and did not roll away. Called Pep Boys for assistance. They provided 1-800 # for towing. Towing service contacted me via text and said it would take an hour to retrieve me and vehicle. Fearing for my safety I managed to get jack under rear axle and lift truck up high enough to place tire back on. As all lug nuts were completely missing I took one lug nut from the other three wheels to place on left rear. It was there that I found that all lug nuts were hand tight. Drove the truck slowly back to Pep Boys that performed the service and explained to the manager Jose Loera the events leading up to now. The immediately put the truck on the rack. Left rear wheel was removed. Pep Boys repaired the damage to the left rear rotor, two of wheel studs where damaged to the point that the lug nuts would tighten. The I.D. of the rim was severely galled and the mating surface where wheel meets rotor was severely distorted. The manager Jose Loera did not feel the rim was safe to repair and advised he would try and find a direct replacement. Pep Boys later rang and advised they could not find a direct replacement wheel and would I like the spare put on so at least the truck was drivable. I advised them to put on the spare. At time of vehicle pick up manager advised they gave me 5 new custom lug nut to account for the ones that fell off and said it was unlikely they could find a direct replacement rim. He offered me a $400 credit. I declined the offer. My position is that the truck came in with four matching custom rims and that's how I expect to leave. The manager declined this and turned this over to his corporate claims department who wants to try and repair which is fine. Pep Boys has established a claim # 22023964108. It has been over four weeks and Pep Boys has not offered a resolution only stating verbally the local manager does not want to pay to replace all rims and the regional director will not give update on the repair. After retaining an attorney and sending Pep Boys a demand letter, today 1 month later I finally got the call that they had repaired the rim. This could have been much more serious resulting in injury or death should the wheel have fallen off at highway speed. DO NOT TRUST YOUR VEHICLE to this Pep Boys. I will never ever come back. read more

Very friendly staff here! I left my car here for an alignment, and the mechanics quickly got the job done. Although my car was still feeling off after the visit, the workers were able to resolve the issue and redo the alignment for me. I like how they help diagnose any problems with your car at no additional cost. Service is great! read more

Set an appointment up for 2:30. It is now 4:08 and they just started working in my car. Mind you, all I needed was an oil change. Do not come here if you are in a time crunch or just hate people wasting your time. Nearly 40 minutes later I'm still here waiting for my car after being told at 4 that it would be 5 more minutes. Place is terrible take your business to Goodyear or any other place besides this one. read more

I left my car for an oil change and rotation and was quoted 1.5 hours. I left it and called multiple times due to 1.5 hours coming and going. Each time I called I kept being told "within the hour." Pep Boys made no effort to proactively communicate the time delay or give me a heads up that it was on their radar....because it wasn't on their radar. After 3.5 hours, I finally ubered to pep boys and took my truck (still untouched) because I had to run other errands before other stores closed. I get it, people are busy. But an honest representation of timelines and capabilities would've saved me time and kept me from wasting my entire afternoon waiting on my truck that wasn't even touched (parked in the sane spot when I returned). read more

Called and was told if I showed up before they opened I would be able to be seen first. Showed up 30 minutes before they opened only to be rudely told I would need to wait an inordinate amount of time which based on other reviews I elected not to do. read more

This will probably be my last time here and I have been coming here for years. Not much has changed since my last review. I have an appointment and I have been waiting 2 hours now for an oil change. Did not plan on wasting my time here if I have an appointment. There are so many other quality auto shops out there. read more

Here's a phrase I never thought would spill out of my mouth: "I just had the best experience having my oil changed!" I didn't know where to go honestly, my only requirements were: 1. Not too far from work 2. Walking distance to food (I felt I was pushing my luck here) 3. Get the job done at a decent price So, I brought my car to Pepboys for an oil change during my lunch break. I also requested air in my tires since my tire pressure light was on (again). A little history about that light: Lately I've been making frequent visits to Discount Tire because the air pressure light kept reappearing. I presumed this was caused by the roads in Houston. They must have seen me 3 or 4 times in the past few months. That's a lot. I never thought much of it until I received a call from Jennifer at PepBoys only 20 minutes after leaving my car with them. She was calling to let me know they found a nail in my tire & wanted to know if I wanted to have it fixed. Immediately a million thoughts ran through my head: How long will this take? How long has the nail been there?? How much will this cost me!? And WHY didn't Discount Tire find this the first time... or the fourth? Yep, Discount Tire (the one on TC Jester @ 19th) never mentioned a nail in my tire- because they didn't check. It was about $13 to patch and $30 for my oil change/filter. I was back to work within the hour with a full belly since Whataburger is right next door. I drove away with an odd sense of accomplishment- I love killing two birds with one stone. I'm not the die hard discount tire fan I used to be. This Pep Boys is fast (yet thorough), friendly, and know what they're doing. read more

Pep Boys - Auto Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have a 2017 Land Rover Discovery that I needed the brake lines bled on. So went to their website. Selected brake services, Selected my make a model of vehicle, then went to appointments and selected the first available of 11am. Later I receive a call saying "we don't work on land rovers, already have 4 bookings at 11am, and too busy to bleed my brake lines". Their website even offers a Land Rover mileage based maintenance plan... I've lived right down the road from this joke of a place for 8years and because it's my brakes needing to be bled I didn't feel safe going a longer distance. But every single time I've needed service it's been a disaster. They did a oil change for me once, well tried to, and after 60 min of walking around the store waiting they finally called me over and told me they were about to start my oil change. This is the most poorly ran place I've experienced. I'm surprised they're in business and I'll never make the mistake of TRYING to use them again. read more

Worst pep boys in history. Very unprofessional and only help Hispanic ppl.

Some nice workers here but unfortunately the one I had spoke with was completely rude. Acted as if I was inconveniencing him and like I was stupid. I won't be coming back to this location EVER again. The tall bald guy is rude to customers and shouldn't be working in customer service. read more

Decent place to get minor car work done. Sometimes they take a little longer, but the service is friendly

Had an appointment today at 1:30 to replace a headlight bulb. Upon arrival I was told it would be a 2 hour wait. I told him I had a 1:30 appointment and he explained that it's not a real appointment but just the time I may arrive to be put in the que. I wish their automated appointment platform would inform me how far behind they were so I could have gone by Firestone. read more

This is my second time with an appointment for a simple oil change. The first time I waited one hour and half and my car had not been touched. So I rescheduled and I asked how long would it be and was told 45 minutes to an hour. I've been here for 35 minutes and my car is still in the filthy parking lot. Now I'm looking around the waiting room and this place is a pigsty also. This Pep Boys is nasty. HQ needs to see how dirty this place is. The Mexican music in the garage is so LOUD you can hear it in the store and the waiting room. This Pep Boys needs a manager to see over cleaning and the appointments. Dirty parking lot. Dirty store. Appointments are a joke. If you like filth and like sitting and a dirty waiting room for hours for a simple oil change then this is the place for you. read more

I replaced my own headlight! Got great advice and it cost $11 for the replacement bulb. What a great deal. Super nice, friendly staff helped me get comfortable with trying something new. Thank you! read more

Inefficient! The only reason I go there is they are next to my house. Customer service leaves much to be desired. I replaced two tires, and they didn't inflate them. I am driving on low tires, came into the store in the evening and was offered to drop off the vehicle overnight! Like I have nothing to do the next day. You did a crappy job, you should be able to fix it fast with no additional charge! Otherwise I can do it myself at a nearby gas station! read more

Zero personnel at the parts counter. They saw me standing there. Couple manager types walking around. No one acknowledged I was there. After 10 minutes or so I left. And I shop here all the time. Pitiful. I'll spend my $$ down the street at Advance. read more

Thieves! They took my $670 and didn't change anything in my car that the diagnosis indicated and two weeks later my check engine light went back on again and they tried to charge me another $915...same diagnosis code by the way...they said it was a different issue this time. Took my car to another mechanic and they told me they didn't change anything the first time..THIEVES read more

It's taken two hours to replace a battery. It's cost twice as much as if I had done it myself. I'm watching the tech use a mallet for a battery repair and I'm wondering why. There's a lot of questions I have as to why this has taken so long, but really, I just want to get my car, leave, and not return. read more

Just reviewing based on getting a couple of parts here. I do like that it's bigger than your regular Autozone and O'Reilly, so I have a bigger selection than usual. However... I've had mixed reviews with helpfulness from the staff. I had one guy who seemed astounded that I missed the oil pans. Ok, so I don't go here every day and I gazed over it... My bad? I had another who kept talking with her friend, or a guy she was hitting on, as I stood at the cash register for about 4 minutes boring a hole into her back with my eyeballs. She saw me, then turned back around to finish her conversation. What the... I don't think I'd ever get any services done here. So far, the staff just doesn't inspire confidence or seem to care about customer service one way or another. There's an apathy that is exuded from each member. When I think of a good auto repair shop, I think of Discount Tire, where everyone jumps up to help you and has an energetic nature about them. But it's a good place to buy car accessories and parts, so I'll give it a third star. read more

I made an appt online today for 5pm. I checked that it was an AC issue and also checked that I had a Volvo. When I arrived, they said "oh, you made this appt online. We normally don't do AC issues this late. And actually, we don't do Volvos here either." I almost fainted from this 107 degree heat index today trying to get to their location in Houston traffic. Obviously this comes from management issues as they obviously don't have operations in place to avoid situations like this. I will never go to a Pep Boys again. read more

Pep Boys staff was great with me today. I arrived at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning (with an online reservation) Did a Mobil1 Synthetic oil change with a purolator one oil filter for my Honda Odyssey. Printed a $20 off coupon for the oil change. Oil change included a tire rotation as well. They completed the oil change and rotation in under an hour. All service guys (Andres and Juan) were super courteous and helpful. It helps to do a little some research ahead of time to figure out the best option for your car. My technician, Jorge, did an excellent job in taking care of my minivan by cleaning up oil spillage from the filter removal. He spent time showing me the location of the filter and verified that the filter I selected was the one he was installing. A+ job by the whole staff. read more

Quality of Service depends heavily on manager on duty. I have been a customer of their Green Trails store (Katy, TX) for over 10 years and recently I have noticed the quality of service depends heavily on who the manager on duty is. This past Friday afternoon, I stopped by with a flat tire and the lady manager told me it would have to wait three hours (without even looking at the tire), go to another store or come back the following day (Saturday). I came back the following day to be received by a ruder manager on duty who told me I would need to make an appointment for services on Saturdays (this was the first time I had been told that) and refuse to look ay the tire. I ended up going to another Pep Boys store (one mile or so away) where the issue was taken care after a while. read more

I had stopped getting my oil changed here as it takes a minimum of an hour to get done, even when you have an appointment, and the general unfriendliness of the staff. But I went back to get some new tires as they had the best deal on what I needed. I was told it would take 2 hours, and after an hour they called me to tell me they had not yet gotten the tires in from their warehouse, despite my having made the appointment 24 hours in advance. They eventually got them after four hours and put them on. There was no apology for the added inconvenience, and the attitude of the employees in general is one in which they hate their jobs and and the customers are just another annoying part of their day. I'm done with this place for good. read more

I feel bad for everyone who's had such a bad experience here, but I'm pleased to report that my first and only experience at Pep Boys was fantastic. Until a few days ago, I'd never even set foot inside of a Pep Boys, even though I've driven past this location dozens of times over the last few years. I grew up shopping at AutoZone and O'Reilly's, and there wasn't a Pep Boys in my hometown. These days, I'm team Advance Auto Parts all the way! But Pep Boys is now officially on my radar. I was actually on my way to the Elite event at Cacao & Cardamom when my TPMS light came on. I thought it was strange, so I stopped and got out to investigate. What do I spy but this HUGE screw stuck in my tire and bent at an odd angle. NOOOO! I call my friend Eddie S, to have him let Farrah know that I won't make it (boooo!) and I remember that Pep Boys is literally a minute away from the gas station I've stopped at, so I slowly make my way there. I pull up, and ask one of the employees for some assistance. It's somewhat slow, so they're able to get my SUV in right away. One employee comes in a few minutes later to inform me that due to the nature of the tire damage--the screw went in head first, which widens the hole and makes repair very difficult--the tech recommends a new tire. I'm honestly pissed, because this tire is the NEW one I bought a few months ago. But they were able to pull the nail out and plug the damage for now, and I have a little more time before I have to purchase yet ANOTHER new tire. I was in and out within 20 minutes, and they were gracious enough to not even charge me for the tire plug! I was even able to make a late appearance at the Elite event after all, just in time for chocolate and a little bubbly. Wins all around! read more

Absolutely terrible. Avoid . If I could rate lower than one star, I would. Cost me thousands to fix their mess.

$19 oil change after my pep boys rewards :) I have 2015 Hyundai Sonata. They also give fresh coffee for customers. I like this place because unlike other places they don't give you the " oh your car needs synthetic and it'll cost you $100" spiel. They give you what you want. For my car I like the regular oil not synthetic and I've gone to other places where they almost force you to get synthetic just because. read more

One more example of poor customer service where people refuse to even make an effort to help someone out. I will say that the Pep Boys in Sharpstown was willing to go above and beyond and they were much busier at the time than the store on North Loop. Thank you Sharpstown Pep Boys, you've got a new customer. read more

Severely unprofessional staff members. Brought fleet vehicle I for tire repair. They tell me 45 min-1 hour. At 1hr 45min...they decide to pull it into shop. Can't get anything done because they didn't verify tire payment prior to accepting my vehicle. At this point- nearly two hours of my time wasted when I could've gone to a better facility. I wouldn't have minded leaving my car there and coming back for it, but I didn't because of them saying it wouldn't be long. Not to mention..the first time I ask how much longer..I walk out and see one of their desk guys chillin in my car making phone calls and texting. SERIOUSLY?! Will not do business here again. read more
