Marlon was great i hope they give him a raise he got me out of there in less than an hour to swap out a tire and free inspection. Second time I've been here and good experiences both times read more

Had a 6:15 appointment for two tires to be replaced same day. Customer service guaranteed repair before closing but manager would not honor my appointment. Front desk needs some classes on customer service read more

Zero stars if I could. They spliced my original harnest and added a second one in there for my AC condenser will never be coming back here again. Car got fixed at Honda dealership. read more

Very good customer service. They got my son's car done in less than two days. Reasonable pricing. I've never taken any of my cars here before, but I was pleasantly surprised. read more

I brought my car for an alignment and they did not deliver the service I expected. I recently bought four new tires and as part of any car's maintenance I took my car in for an alignment. They took my information and advised me it would take approximately two hours to complete the order. I went home and got a call with in 45 minutes telling my car was ready for pick up. Upon driving out the car from their parking lot I immediately noticed the car was not alignment correctly. I returned the car the next day requesting that they re-examine the vehicle as I suspected nothing was done. Sure enough they confirmed the car was not aligned correctly (I suspect the car was probably not worked at all). I had to wait another hour to have them align the car. I don't recommend bringing your vehicle here as they are not honest and thorough. The staff seems to be indifferent about the work they produce as they did not even apologize for the second trip they made me take. The Pep Boys in Long Beach on PCH is losing a would have been loyal customer and I'm sure I won't be the last as you can see by other previous reviewers. read more

Pep Boys - Pep Boys - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

Watch out for part swaps at Pep Boys E. Pacific Coast Hwy Long Beach. My son took his vehicle in for a rear break job. His battery (purchased at a competitor and still under warranty) needed a quick charge. So Pep Boys said they would charge the battery so my son could take the battery back to the competitor and swap out under warranty. When the competitor pulled the battery it did not match the one under warranty. It was instead a lower quality battery. The competitor said that unfortunately this is not the first time they have seen this. They stepped up and swapped his battery none the less. So beware of parts swap at Pep Boys Long Beach. read more

I made an appointment to drop off my vehicle at 11 am. I arrived at 10:51 and there was no one at any of the service counters. I could hear them behind a partition wall. It must've been their break time. A few minutes after 11 three people came out and went to their respective register and proceeded to make calls. I stood there waiting for another 10 minutes. Finally one person said "can I help you?" I waited for over 15 minutes before anyone helped me. I told the person I had a 11am drop and she showed me the price. I told her I had the $50 coupon per axle and I wanted the premium service. She did some stuff and changed the pricing, but I said I wanted the premium service not the standard as shown in the print out. I finally said " no thanks" and left the store. First of all, why was the service counter left unattended? They were polite but when you see a customer standing and waiting I would think someone should address the customer first instead of making calls or answering phone calls. That really annoyed me. I won't be going back to that Pep Boys. read more

They are very nice and helpful here. I dont know whats up with the one star. But based on my experience they all go out of their way to help me with my tesla. read more

It's been a while but decided to go back, and the service was 10x better than what had happened before. I did come mentally prepared for a delayed start time and unrealistic long service times. Neither was the case. The technician(?)/associate who helped me get checked in (Betty) was awesome and prompt, gave me a realistic time frame when the job could be completed, kept me informed of updates, and closed me out on time. Overall a way better experience than what I've had years ago, so thanks :) read more

I'm saddened to write this negative review because I've taken my car to this Pep Boys for years without any issues...until now. Yesterday, I arrived with a flat tire. They claimed it was repairable and patched it. This morning, it was flat again. The tire tech with AAA said they should have never tried to patch it because the hole was obviously irreparable. I called Pep Boys this morning to inform them and to ask for my money back. The employee said the manager wasn't in yet and would call me back. No call yet. I won't be going back. read more

They don't look upscale but they got the job done and they are always honoring their warranty. It's good enough for me. I don't need a coffee lounge to feel my car gets a better treatment like in the dealership. However it was slow. I waited 3 hours and half for a battery change. read more

They're very slow you could tell that they're just here to get their pay check, either they need new workers or better pay to motivate them. who ever owns this place needs to come down and teach them how to work read more

The lady that picked up the phone was so helpful here that even though they didn't have the product I was looking for she referred me to someone that did have very low prices and I was able to get my problem fixed, All thanks to her! I'm very thankful for her service and communication. read more

If I could give negative stars I would! Brought my daughter's car to them because shortly after the last time we spent over $1,200 it wouldn't start. My daughter who is not a mechanic said she wondered if it was the starter. The person who helped her lied and said you cannot diagnose the problem, the only way to know is by replacing the starter! The mechanic in our family told us that's total BS and they could have diagnosed it easily. Needless to say got it home and it still won't start! Called and spoke to the assistant manager who was a total jerk! He blamed my daughter for not knowing why her car wouldn't start! I asked him why that would be her job and not the me mechanics and he just kept blaming her! After an additional $600 the car still won't start! Disputing this with the bank, but wanted to warn others! I should have read reviews before going there, there's a reason their reviews are so low!!! read more

Pep Boys - Info from a real mechanic! - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

So, you have a problem with your car. You're totally stressed out??? You're afraid it will be super expensive??? Never fear! Pep Boys will be here to overcharge you for parts (like 5 times what the part should cost), greatly exaggerate the time the repair will take so they can overcharge you for labor (2 or 3 times what it should take), and my personal favorite they will up sell you so hard on random services you won't even be sure what you actually need done for your car to be back to normal. If you want to dump out your wallet on the floor you might as well go to the dealership because they charge similar prices here. At least at the dealer you'll know they're familiar with the issues your car may have and you get branded parts. But ultimately don't do either. There's plenty of repair shops with great reviews so my advice is to use one of those. read more

Today I arrived there the first thing I noticed a technician recklessly driving off the shop, someone else vehicle! Anyhow so I went there for a rideshare vehicle inspection ( something as simple as checking lights, tire tread depth,etc) the lady (Rocio) that did the inspection purposely verbaly fail the test stating that the tires need to be replaced and that either I replaced them before 5pm and go back so she can pass the test or come back the next day and pay another $20. The tires are good. I'm not stupid to do what she probably thought I was going to buy from them new tires. So instead, I went to Jiffy Lube to do the same simple inspection and guess what they promptly took care of me in less than 10 minutes. I was out with an approbed inspection! When back to pepboys and showed Rocio the approbed inspection so she can refund me the $20 , but nope, they don't do refunds she said! Got ripped off for a 5 minutes inspection! Paid musician doesn't play good music! Overall, I felt that I walked into a corrupted public service agency from a Latin America country. read more

I came here for a diagnose the blonde big back lady gave me attitude and got made I was talking on the phone with my husband about the prices they were charging me when I decided to buy the parts myself she goes and gets my key and brings my key back broken the key was ripped out of the Fob part and when I tried to address it she ignored me and walked away as if she couldn't hear me I hope she meets her match. read more

Pep Boys - This was in good condition and it was given back to me like this - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

It took more than two hours for them to change my oil and rotate my tires. They also told me my brakes needed to be replaced and that my suspension was leaking. I'm really glad I told them I couldn't get it fixed that day because my dad took my car to the dealer to get it looked at and they said no such thing was happening. Disappointing because the lady working the front was so nice! read more

This review is specifically for the Lyft inspection. I do not understand how if you start at 9am and you are the only one to do the inspection, that you are late. This is the second time the inspector was late. Thank you to the cashier and manager for expediting the situation but this is not acceptable. read more

I scheduled an 'appointment' for 11 am and did not receive any attention to my vehicle until after 11:30, nor was I provided any updates. I was then told that multiple customers are scheduled for the same time slot. All I was having done was to change the light bulb in my headlamp. It took the technician 5 minutes when he finally got to it. Now that I know how it's done, I will do it myself next time. I am extremely dissatisfied with the customer service since Pep Boys has split off their parts business to Advanced Auto. Their new customer service staff leaves much to be desired. I recommend you go anywhere else before giving Pep Boys your business. read more

I had an odd issue come up while away from home and called Pep Boys and they were polite and professional on the phone and provided great service once I arrived. They made my repair quickly and at a reasonable price. I was very pleased with their service and Noemi's assistance up front. read more

I took my car in for an oil change on Wednesday 11/09. After 3 hours, I received a call saying they had to break my oil cap and engine oil housing filter in order to do my oil change. I went into the shop to go pick up my car and the technician verbatim said, "We can not get to the oil without breaking and replacing oil housing filter and filter cap." To which I responded, "Ok so you didn't do the oil change?" To which the technician said no. I then asked what was going on and I was told they couldn't get the cap off. So they have to break it. I asked how much it would cost to replace it and was told the housing filter was $208.80 and the cap was $130.42 plus they added a warranty that they didn't even ask me if I wanted it of $35.50. Basically the oil change was going to cost me $498.13! They were the ones who did my last oil change and never mentioned anything being wrong. Also, they sent me a auto inspection report that same day while I was waiting for my car to be serviced and nothing on that report said anything about replacing the oil housing filter or oil cap. Anyway, I told the technician no thank you and that I would go somewhere else. I was told they were bringing my car out and to wait for my keys. I got my keys and I drove out of the driveway. Before I could get to the signal, my car started making the craziest noise and all the lights came on on my dashboard saying low oil volume. My car then started driving terribly and so I just turned right back around to the shop. I walked in and asked them what they did to my car. My car was totally normal before I took it there. I asked if they drained all the oil out and not replace my oil? And how did they drain the oil when I was told they couldn't even get to it unless they broke my oil cap? Apparently the tech who was working on my car drained the oil, didn't tell anyone he didn't finish, and went to lunch." To this day I don't even know exactly what happened other than after being told they couldn't get to the oil, they somehow did manage to drain the oil, then never put oil in my car and let me drive off. My engine almost ceased and my car has since been making a weird sound. After all of this, they were actually going to charge me for the oil change even though they didn't even do it. I told them something had to be done. The response I got was that they will not charge me for the oil housing filter and just charge me for the oil cap. Then I was told nevermind that we will just add new oil to replace what they drained and not charge me for the oil. I am not sure what is going on with this Pep Boys but their service has become terrible and definitely unreliable. Here is a photo of the work order/invoice they gave me. Most importantly though, they claimed to not be able to get to the oil, somehow drained my car of all the oil, then told me they did the oil change after all, and then let me drive off with an empty oil tank that nearly ceased my engine. I had been a loyal customer but I will never take my car here again. I am so disappointed with their dishonesty and irresponsibility. read more

Pep Boys - work order/invoice from pep boys - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

The only reason a gave this place a 2 star is because of the manger Mario very helpful, other than that this staff here is very rude especially the people who work at the front desk area. Also after I have a repair done I always have to bring it back a few time till they fix it right. My car is under warranty and they don't like dealing with my warranty place. I have learned my lesson of this place, not coming back My suggestion is please find some where else to go read more

Hi, came in for an inspection for an Uber driver authorization. The manager was kind enough to have me pass on some items which I was grateful for. However, I had to go buy new two tires and she said to come back after I got the tires installed. I came back and the manager was at lunch. That was Saturday. They told me that they were closed on Sunday for inspections. So I came back on Monday to complete the inspection. The manager told me that "we throw those out ". Today she's telling me that I didn't come back before 5 PM. Never ever ever ever ever will I use this location again. read more

Mario was fantastic and ensured all of the customers needs were addressed. He was able to provide top notch customer service.

I'm really upset because I got a tire and that was the same size that matched my other three tires except the treads were different therefore it pulled to the left. I came back and complained and asked them to put the tire in the back instead of the front left and they said they did and my dumbass didn't check to see if they really did it and if you weeks has passed by and I managed to look at the tire recently and realized I never switched it. I'm really upset that they lied outright and couldn't switch the front tire to the back tire slot read more

I had gone to this location before and never had an issue . Recently i took my car for standard oil change . When i drove home the car started smoking , pulled over and saw a small fire. Fire went out after the car was turned off . Had the car towed home. Contacted them and had me tow the car to them. Needless to say they didn't take any kind of responsibility. After paying over 1k to have the car fixed i wouldn't recommend this location . Very suspicious that my car went in perfectly fine for an oil change and it left with the alternator causing a fire and needing to be replaced ? Be warned . read more

Pep Boys - Area that got burned - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

They're so unhelpful, 4 people and only one of them doing their job. 3 hour wait bc they wanna sit there and scratch their ass

I don't know why people didn't like their experience here, except some people aren't going to be happy no matter what. My experience was great, everything from the customer service to the quality to the price and performance.. I had 2 tires replaced and I couldn't be happier. They are open until 8pm and today they had to stay later, they were more than happy to accommodate me which is so rare and appreciated. I work until 5 and there are very few shops even open. Thank you thank you thank you!!! read more

Desiree the service manager took care of me and was very thorough about what my vehicle needed after performing complete vehicle inspection. This is my 2nd time going to Pepboys and Also the 2nd time doing business with Desiree. And of course ill be going back to her for future service. read more

all I know is they wasted my time today I called in to try and get bead locks mounted on my tires and I made sure to ask them over 3 times if they can install bead locks and they said yes. I took all my parts to them and when I got there they said they don't install bead locks they didn't even know what they were like wtf I don't understand why they decided to waste my time today read more

Robert helped us out with a quick fix! He was super helpful and friendly, we really appreciate it

For your safety and sanity, I highly recommend not going to any PepBoys. They advertise being able to visit any PepBoys location, however, when you arrive, they tell you to return to the original service location. We were on our way out of town so that made it very difficult. Complaints: - loud scraping noice coming from front left wheel immediately after picking up my car. Technician said it sounded like metal scraping but said everything is fine and it's due to how freeways are made - additional damage on my car unrelated for the service I came in for (I came in for an oil change and brake pad replace on my BACK tires) -Technician not asking or being straight forward about services rendered (he also rotated my tires without asking beforehand or letting me know when picking it up) -technician admitting he test drove my car and went over 70MPH on residential streets in an attempt to replicate the metal scraping -difficulties seeking service at other PepBoys location (as advertised) -lack of urgency on resolving the issue read more

I'd give them 0 if I could. Went in for a basic tire repair and tried to upsell me 2 tires. Lady in front was also quite rude. Got a 2nd opinion at American Tire up the street. They fixed my tires 100% for free and got me out in 20 mins. Moving forward, I'll be avoiding Pep Boys like the plague. read more

Honest Pep Boys I took my mom's vintage Nissan Axxess in for its annual diagnostic. After receiving the report, I decided to file a non-operating status with DMV for it. Later, I was able to get repair done. When I obtained Moving Permits from DMV, it astonished me that the first diagnostic report, from this Pep Boys, was the same problem in the second report from a different auto business. Muchas gracias Tito, Louie, and Heriberto. read more
