Came in today thinking something was seriously wrong with my truck--loud scraping noise that had me worried it was something major. Turns out it was just debris (a leaf) stuck in the brake area. The team here checked it out right away, removed it, and the noise was instantly gone. What really stood out to me was their honesty--they didn't try to upsell me or turn it into something bigger. On top of that, they didn't even charge me. That kind of integrity is hard to find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate the professionalism and quick help.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be coming back soon for an oil change and any future work. Highly recommend! Huge Thanks to Joe and Christopher. read more

Service requested was a low tire. I have been waiting for 3 hours for a plug in my tire. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So, if you have all day to wait.... Go for it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

last time I come here . brought my truck to get checked for 100 dollars just to tell me the rotors needed to get replaced while other issues of the truck were ignored. How do I know this ? Took it to another shop where they took the time to actually inspect the truck . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Save your money and take it somewhere they'll actually value your business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had 4 tires replaced today. Service was completed within 2 hours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Customer Service- excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I came here 2 Sundays ago, thinking I needed my brakes done. They looked, said all was good, but I should adjust and clean the rear drums. Cool, done. Go to park the next day, and emergency brake won't engage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Called and spoke to manager Joe, who said just bring it in when you can.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fast forward to today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ishmael (sp) couldn't be bothered. Was going to charge me, AGAIN. Said that if it was only an inspection, they didn't touch anything. Never did he pull up the paperwork. I had to go to the car, get mine, and come back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He then said, fine we'll look at it, it's going to be at least 2 hours. An oversight on their part that would take 5 minutes and he wanted to wait 2 hours! After complaining, he finally said he'd bring it in and look. An hour later, and it's still just sitting in the garage... Untouched!! Complaining again, he finally looked at it himself. He was under it for less than 3 minutes before they lowered it and took it for a test drive. Was that so hard??? Now! He's trying to tell me that there was nothing wrong. E brake works just fine. That all cables were attached. If that were the case, and you tried the e brake from inside the car before starting any work, why would you have lifted it? Ooopps! Back in the air again! Thought everything was fine, Ishmael??? There are 4 people under my car now.... But there was nothing wrong?!? read more

If you're in Inglewood or anywhere around Crenshaw, Century, or Manchester and need a quick, reliable spot for tires, oil changes, or diagnostics, this location holds it down. Not perfect, but definitely one of the better Pep Boys in the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I booked an appointment on Friday for a Monday checkup and wanted a filter change. They said they would check to see if they're available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I show up on Monday and they tell me that they don't have the filters. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I asked why you didn't tell me, and the front desk said that she wasn't working during the weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]How is that an excuse? Is my appointment not in the system where other employees can email or call me?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You don't think I value my time to show up and not have everything that I asked for available? Awful customer service, too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

took my car cause check engine light and trak light was on.... I believe the person who helped me was named Kris? [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was extremely kind and right away attended my vehicle for a diagnostic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]literally 10 minutes later he came back to me with what was needed and threw some options at me which was within my budget.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] my EGR valve was faulty which why the check engine light was on. left my car with him and his team and literally banged it out in rapid fast time!! was a bit hesitant about coming here in the 1st place but now I think I found my go to place for ALL my mechanical needs! thank you Kris and inglewood pep boys team for giving me that peace of mind and now my car has passed smog and is now fully registered and street legal to drive! I WILL be back!! read more

Very friendly staff and they got me in and out super fast. I came in for all new tires after being very irresponsible and driving them to their very last dying breath (and then some). They helped me figure out what I needed and got me squared away without speaking what we were all thinking. Should I drive myself to the limits again - they'll be the first place I stop by read more

Always make an appointment and they get you in and perform the service in reasonable time. They honor coupons without hesitation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service tech, Dalia always helpful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

So the magic of Kris is real!! He was very kind and helpful. I told him my situation over the phone and he told me to come in. I was so happy that I saw the other reviews about Kris otherwise I might not have called. Thank you Kris and the Pep Boys team!!! This is the best location ever, don't waste your time going to other locations as I had done before finding this one!!! 10+ Stars!!!! read more

I came to this location for a wheel alignment. Now you may want to clear your whole schedule or use your sick time or PTO if you're getting your car serviced here because you won't see that car till the end of day or next day..... I'm not sure how long it takes to do a wheel alignment but I dropped my car off at around 9am/10am..... the car got back to me around 2/3pm....... I'm not sure if it was other cars ahead of me or it takes hours on hours to do a wheel alignment. The women who worked the front desk was really sweet. If you got a car through Carvana and have a bridge crest warranty I suggest you let them know STRAIGHT UP! I had to reschedule my appointment because it was too late to take the warranty for the alignment due to the company being in a different state and they were closed at my original appointment time. I came the next day and that's when I didn't see my car until the next business day. Jk it took a really long time. I guess they did a good job because I didn't have any issues with the steering wheel turning. Honestly if you have all day then you can come here especially if you have a warranty that covers the repairs! No if you don't have all day then I suggest you go elsewhere. read more

Pep Boys - Auto Repair Near Me - Inglewood, California

Update to my previous review:::: My opinion has still not changed and this is thee worst PEPBOYS franchise!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came today to see about getting my breaks fixed and had an 8AM appointment, I get to the service desk and this this white guy, with crazy looking hair comes out and says can I help you? And I say I have an appointment and he asks me again?? And I was thinking we're like feet away from each other and you can't hear?![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They supposedly were to do a break inspection, but I'm not even sure it was performed at all, I don't think they did anything....and he comes back to tell me, oh your car has 17K miles on it, and I think he used that as an excuse to get rid of me because more cars were coming.....and at the same time, I will be taking my car somewhere else to get a second opinion because I believed they lied! This same bozo idiot came out to see me drive off which I thought was strange and I felt like he knew he was wrong and just wanted to rub it in my face!! Like why are you in the customer service / auto industry if you're not going to do right by customers go to another industry and by the way [[HIGHLIGHT]]this same a**hole guy was very rude today and two other times I have come to this same PEPBOYS to get things fixed on different cars, if you are the service manager, it doesn't matter how many times I've been somewhere, I still deserve respect & professionalism at all times!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But I am forever done with PEPBOYS, the worse service and they didn't even do anything with my car!! And I'm going to reach out to corporate and let them know about this and I hope this idiot loses his job!! read more

After calling around, I found that this Pep Boys offered a price for an oil change 75% less than their competitors. I was spoken to respectfully, and they even offered to check my tires for me. Thank you, Pep Boys, for providing exemplary customer service. I will definitely be using you in the future! read more

I came in to get my vehicle inspected for rideshare. I was helped by Kris who was very friendly and accommodating. He got my vehicle inspected quickly. I came as a walk-in and had no wait. Highly recommend this business. Thanks so much Kris for a great experience! read more

Dropped in for a headlight service: couldn't take me Friday. So someone named Chris, made me an appointment for Saturday at noon. Got there on time, didn't see Chris But they check me in. Then they made me wait over an hour just to tell me the only person who could do it was leaving for the day and I can't get it done until Wednesday. Weather you have an appointment or not, they will waste your time and you will still need to go elsewhere. Seems to be getting worse and worse over time. read more

I always get my service done in a timely manner at this location. I'd like to highlight Chris's work ethic, who's is always responsive, strongly knowledgeable about any common service issue, and an overall top notch customer service rep. read more

I'm really happy with these folks! They finished a day early, they're the only shop - including dealerships - that has bothered to plug my tire pressure sensors back in. The price is right, the location is great, and the service is the best I have encountered in the LA area read more

I had to go by today for some quick help with my car & the receptionist, Promise, was extremely friendly & very helpful. I really appreciated her customer service. read more

I'll start it with the fact that they have a super sweet, competent and bright receptionist. My experience started the night before, when they called to verify appointment and let me know tires were in stock. Brought the car in at 850 and it sat in the lot into 1025. Sitting and waiting in the waiting room, trying to be patient. They got it on the lift at 1025, removed one wheel and it's been shooting for now another 35 minutes as I write this, with no one tending to it. Also the computer for balancing isn't working but at this point I just want to get it done, pay and get TF out. read more

I appreciate the front desk so much, but I had a flat tire and took it in to see if there was a hole and also to get my tires rotated. They said there was no hole, but later the same tire went flat and I realized they didn't rotate my tires like they said they did and a tire rotation was listed as a service on my receipt. read more

It's stunning what a difference just one or two employees can make in the quality of service from a business. Sadly for this Pep Boys the change hasn't been positive. I'm lowering my 5 star ratings here, going back 5 years and encompassing 3 different 5 star reviews, down to the lowest possible rating. This is all about the horrible service department. The store personnel are still superb as far as I'm concerned. I came here yesterday with every intention of buying a battery for my SUV. Pep Boys' current ads say "Free installation with battery purchase!". I talk to Jason at the service counter. Yes they have my battery in stock. But oh shoot, they can't install it because my car "needs a computer reset after changing batteries". And oh shoot, their machine to do that is currently broken. Ok, when will it be fixed? Jason- "I don't know". Will it ever be fixed? Jason- "I don't know". Maybe never? Jason- "Yes maybe never". So I start to ponder- Is the required machine really broken? I have my doubts . But one thing is for sure- Jason has absolutely no interest in having Pep Boys install this battery for me. Hence, I lose all interest in buying my car battery from Pep Boys. It's not like they're the only store in town that sells car batteries. And note to Jason- When you're blowing off a potential customer like you did with me, at least you could unbury your face from your computer screen for a few seconds and pretend like you're interested. read more

Inglewood is my city so it saddens me to write this review but, The Pep Boys on Spruce is the worst. Every time I have ever gone for any type of help needing information from something as simple as replacing a battery to an oil change they say they can't help or because there are no employees available you have to wait days for it to even be looked at. Customer service at the service desk is a $xxt show. The guy never looked up my vehicle to see if he could offer assistance if I am a member of my vehicle was in the system, just sent me to another place. I have a car through FAIR that says they do a five point inspection with an oil change, the representative was too nonchalant and relaxed to make an attempt to look anything up. I literally don't know what they do there. What type of jobs they take. Meanwhile I'm in the parking lot after saying maybe those other instances of poor customer service were not the norm and one of people there was walking away to take call technicians is taking her phone calls. People end up walking away "Googling" help for there particular car needs because they offer none. This is not a one time situation Multiple people I know and my own experience read more

Kris and the team went above and beyond to help solve a sudden problem, just before a long trip. The parts needed to come from the dealer, and through multiple delays with the shipment, they were able to get me fixed up right, and in the nick of time. read more

This is my fourth time doing business at this location. After being very patient, kind and understanding they still don't seem to have the wherewithal to professionally conduct business on such an expected level of the national name of Pep Boys. Jesse and Amber are really nice people, but I, as a consumer and business professional that's part time in the automotive industry, I need a company who'll stay on their staff and on top of things to assure you're keeping your word. Today was the third time related situation whereby my car took far longer than Expected and told it would. I dropped of my car at 12 noon and was told it would take from 2-4 hours. I arrived at 4:30 and was just told what my car needed. Why wasn't I contacted earlier? Why did they start on my car at the time I was told it would be finished? Why was my car just sitting on the rack/lift unattended as I walked toward the shop and waited in disbelief for several minutes? However, giving them the benefit of the doubt, they have new business with me, Uber and fair rental agency that increases their business. But they need to make some changes to accommodate and effectively MANAGE the growth. Like in this(my) case, when the demand is greater than the supply we (I) go elsewhere. They've always given an excuse and after a while? Excuses aren't good enough. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen... And\or get someone in there who can. And lastly, I offered a potential service worth several hundred dollars and they weren't to enthused about looking into rather or not they offered the service. But that's okay, I'll take the business some place else. OMG, I was just told that my car will it take an additional two hours. Now I have to take the star rating down another notch Again, nice people though I'm grateful for that and them.... ... When I arrived back to my condominium complex some of the neighbors were outside and saw me walking-which was unusual to them. So they asked what was going on. I told them "bad business with Pep Boys". Both of them said they had similar experiences and that I should never use them again-as they don't either.... Now that is bad business if the neighborhood is aware of the issues and they still haven't changed... Nevertheless, when I arrived to pick up my car, Jesse the manager apologized and gave me a 10% discount on next service job. Good start!!! read more

My appointment was at 2pm for an oil change. I complained at 3:30p about the wait. My car wasn't even moved until 4:30p. Once the oil change started around 4:45p, it took 20 minutes to complete. Do not come to this service center unless you plan on becoming an upset customer. Edit: After the 3+ hour ordeal, I was told they didn't have all the parts to complete the oil change. Now I have to come back again to complete it. read more

I've been sitting in this Pep Boys for the last hour. My appointment was at 1 PM, it is now 2 PM. My car is still sitting in the parking lot. The appointment was for a simple oil change. I can see two mechanics and two customer service members in the garage drinking water and joking around. I've been the only person in the waiting area for the last 45 minutes. Apparently my "40 minute appointment time" was truly an estimate. Not really sure why... pretty annoying. EDIT: I have now learned that the guy they assigned my car to went on lunch an hour ago. Nobody was assigned to take my car in his place...70 minutes later my car is finally getting the oil change I scheduled at 1:00 PM. read more

After my experience with Pep Boys (below) I scheduled tire installation for my other car. I've been going here for years. They apologized for the problem I had before and made it good! Anyone can make a mistake but owning up and correcting it is all too rare! They deserve credit for that! Chris handled the transaction. I left the car with them and returned when they told me it would be ready. The job was very well done and right on time! Good service! Thanks! read more

This is the second time my husband has took our cars to get serviced by this pep boys on spruce. He took mine without an appointment and waited two hours to get serviced . He needed an oil change for his car , this time he made an appointment so that he could avoid the wait and still ended up waiting 2 hours to get serviced . One of the employees also said she thought they were out of oil! What is the point of an appointment if it is not honored . This location on pep boys needs to learn how to manage their time better . read more

my car battery died while parked at home I had it towed to pep boys . I was helped by a guy I can't remember his name anymore but he looked me up in there system with my phone number and was able to locate my warranty since I had got the old battery from them they replaced my battery free of charge. I highly recommend you buy your battery from pep boys because they provide a warranty that was awesome that i didn't have to pay anything at all I tried to give the guy that helped me a tip but he didn't accept it read more

Ladies, look no further for your car issues. Go see Chris at Pep Boys. I went in, he completed an assessment and back on the road in 15 mins. Mind you, all situations may not be the same, but my day wasn't lost waiting for my car. Thanks, Chris!!! read more

Another service place down the street was trying to charge me $80 for an oil change. So I called Pep Boys and squeezed me in for an oil change for less than half the price of the other place. No frills no fuss. Super easy and efficient! read more

Went in there on a Friday and they only had two employees??? The customer service was awesome and had np complaints about them but management had to get it together. I had to wait almost 10 mins just for someone to show up at the check out. Again not the employees fault at all. They didn't have most of the things i needed in stock so had to go somewhere else read more

Pep Boys - No employees - Auto Repair Near Me - Inglewood, California

See all

My experience with this pep boys has been nothing but 5-star. I visited this location after a very sketch experience at the one on Rodeo (don't go there with a flat tire looking to replace just ONE tire, or "suddenly" they'll claim multiple tires have nails in them and need to be replaced just as soon as they get you distracted with paperwork at the register. I digress). This location was the polar opposite. I came here after the Rodeo location DRAINED (and I suspect intentionally) what was left of my already struggling OEM battery and then suggested I buy a replacement while they were at it. They literally had to give me a jump after installing the two cheap tires I purchased to replace my expensive Michelin tires (again, one of which I do not suspect had a nail in it at all until they placed one conveniently at the top where it could be seen). Again, I digress. (I'm still tight about it!). Back to this location. The next morning after the debacle at the Rodeo location, I went to a laundromat to dry a really big blanket. After loading it into the dryer, I went back to my car and was about to pull out, but the battery died again. I called for roadside assistance. After they came and gave me a jump, I drove around (knowing I couldn't turn my car off or else I'd need roadside AGAIN for the third time in less than 24 hours). I went back to the Rodeo location, because it was the only one I knew of. The guy that pulled the okie-doke on me the day before, Byron, was all too eager to get me in the queue for more services, but he claimed it'd be about an 1.5 hours wait until they could get to my car. I was already feeling a way about the day before, so I feigned interest and said I'd come back later (with no intention on doing so). His thirstiness solidified my suspicions. I pulled up to this location mid afternoon and was greeted in the bay by a team member. I told him what I needed and he gave me an ETA of 20 minutes to completion. What?! Hell yes! I go inside. No lines. No waiting. A super pleasant and sweet female team member at reception helped me pick out the appropriate battery for my car and got me the best deal for my car type. And, just like he promised, my car was ready for me to drive off in within 20 minutes, literally. Very accurate ETA. I am so grateful for this location!!!!!! They went above and beyond and really did their best to mitigate my already nightmarish past 24 hours, and they did it with a smile, while we're in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak. God bless them all!!!!!!!! I strongly recommend this location over other locations. I am a forever customer if I ever have any other emergencies and can't make it to my dealer in Santa Monica. Forevaaaaaa!!!!! Thank you so much Pep Boys Inglewood!!! read more

So I mainly leaving this review because I went to this Pep Boys location a few days ago and was told by the people there after they did a brake inspection that I did not need new brakes but my front struts and rear shocks were both bad I need to be her play something that came to about $700 it turns out this is not correct and it was just my front brakes that were very bad down to the metal I need to be replace so I don't know if it was them trying to get more money out of me or if their mechanics are just incompetent but either way I would not Recommend going to this location Also I took close to 4 1/2 hours to get my oil change and brake inspection done which I think is a little bit extreme read more

This review is specific to the service that I received from Amber, an asset to this Pep Boys location. When I came in, I was stressed, and very confused - I'd been a Lyft driver before, but it had been a long time since I'd been on the road, and I didn't know what to do. Amber was kind, helpful, and very professional. She put me at ease, made my inspection quick and thorough, and sent me on my way. I appreciate everyone at this location, always, but Amber is the one to see if you need prompt, efficient, and courteous service. read more
