They do not check their own work, they waste time, they waste your money, they do not tackle engine problems directly. Instead, they go piece by piece, and charge you one by one, before even addressing the problem. They are not mechanics. They are a corporate cash grab that preys on the community with bad work. Avoid corporate greed. Go to your local mechanic. They will fix what needs fixing and will be more honest about it. read more

Very disappointing experience at this Pep Boys location. I brought my Hertz/Uber rental vehicle in for a simple oil change service. At first, they told me to leave the keys and wait because the service would be done quickly. I waited for over two and a half hours while watching multiple other customers arrive, speak with employees in another language, and have their vehicles taken in and serviced much faster. Meanwhile, my vehicle was never even touched. Not once was I given a clear explanation or honest update about the delay. When I finally asked why my vehicle had still not been serviced after such a long wait, the staff responded very rudely and told me to leave and come back another day. Instead of handling the situation professionally, they became defensive and disrespectful. I understand busy shops can have delays, but ignoring a customer for hours without communication and then treating them badly when they ask questions is unacceptable. Customers deserve equal treatment, clear communication, and basic respe read more

Pep Boys - Great customer Service I when because I got a flat tire they gave me a low price and were fast I would highly recommend to anyone - Tires Near Me - Panorama City, California

I visited pep boys this morning, greeted the employee with a very kind kiss and expected him to be able to solve my five-minute problem. I just need an inspection paper. He replied in a very unpleasant manner that he tell me hi is busy and could not solve that problem. I asked him if it was only a 5-minute problem, what was my problem? I waited at the door for 15-20 minutes and no one worked for that employee. He was sitting in front of the office without any hunger and was waiting for that pen. Meanwhile, he could solve my problem in 5 minutes, but he refused to solve it. read more

I went to this Pep Boys location on New Year's Eve around noon to get windshield wipers. It's more of a service center now, but they still sell items inside. The employee working at the counter was on his phone when I walked in. I gave him the make and model of my car and all I needed was the size of the wipers so I could purchase them and leave. While I was standing there, he received a phone call from another customer about brake issues and instead of placing them on hold or finishing with me first which would have taken less than two minutes, he continued helping the caller. I was left standing at the counter waiting with no acknowledgment. I ended up leaving because I don't appreciate that kind of service. If a customer is standing right in front of you, they should be helped before taking care of someone on the phone especially since my car was pulled up. It felt disrespectful and unprofessional, and I won't be spending my money here. read more

Daniel & Luis were the best ever! I was really stressed about my car having a flat, (Started my day off so bad) but they really help me and fixed my car and even repaired a hole on my other tire free of charge! I will be coming back for sure always. My new go to Pepboys spot. read more

I have not yet received my refund. The information was initially escalated to the regional manager and subsequently to the store manager. Their response indicated that the refund would be processed upon verification that it had not been received. read more

Went to do an oil change exactly the same way I've done in the past. Brought my own oil. Last time at this location I was charged $35. At another Pep Boys before that, same price. Daniel, the manager, told me it would be $69. I asked him why. He said "Because that's what it costs." I said, "If that's what it costs why was I charged $40 here last time and $40 at another Pep Boys?" He flatly and impatiently said, "They charged you wrong." I began to say, "I hope you can understand my confusion---" when he interrupted me saying "And I hope you can understand this is what it costs." I started to speak again and he interrupted me again. This happened two or three mote times when I then said, "You're not even listening to me or letting me finish a sentence" and he spoke over me raising his voice saying, "This is what it costs with you bringing in your own oil." I said, "So that's what this is about? You're angry because you won't make money off the oil." He continues to interrupt me and raise his voice refusing to listen or let me finish a sentence. It became a shouting match at which point I told him I was reporting him to corporate and I would never return to this or any other Pep Boys ever again. I immediately called corporate and failed a complaint and was given a complaint number. I have still yet to hear from anyone at Pep Boys and this was a week ago. There's a reason this Pep Boys is not affiliated with the Better Business Bureau and why there are many complaints about it on line. I will never use Pep Boys again and will be encouraging everyone I know to avoid them. Inexcusable read more

They did a very good job taking care of me fixing my axcles and radiator they even gave me a ride home and a ride back to the shop which they are not required to do thanks Daniel read more

My car's tires needed to be changed. I usually go to Sears tire center but that is no longer a thing. Now I had to find a new place to go. Looking at some tire places in my local vicinity, I am a little skeptical. Knowing there are some shortcuts to get the cheapest price. This is one time I didn't want to make that decision. I thought of a well known tire place and gave them a call to find availability on tires for my car. I was told I would need to order them, then when they arrived the place can install the tires. While this is nice and a for sure thing, I wanted to get my tires installed that day. Here is where Pep Boys came through. I was able to get the tires and have them installed on the same day. While arriving first thing in the morning, my representative helped me get the process started. The job took a couple of hours which was 1hour more then was mentioned but its better than ordering, waiting, then installation. I do wish the job took the hour as was mention since I brought my mother and we enjoyed breakfast during our wait at a local pancake house. But what can you do. Parking: large private lot VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

Took good care of me. Ended up I needed 4 new tires. But got me on the road in record time

Took me in earlier than my appointment time. Guys were pleasant and helped me with my issue at hand. I Was in and out within the hour.

Made appointment online for oil change and tire rotation at 3:30 pm.Got a text reply that my appointment was scheduled. After almost 2 hours of waiting, the manager told me that they can only do oil change and if I want to do tire rotation, I will have to wait until 7pm.So what is the point of making appointment online if they are not going to do all the requested service. He said they were backed up and to make sure the appointment is confirmed is to call them by phone directly .He even said I was lazy because I didnt call them and just did online appointment. Very unprofessional and worst customer service!!! Upon check out, the manager settled the heated argument by waiving the oil change fee but it doesnt compensate for the disrespect , hassle, and time that was wasted. Also, when I left, I noticed that my wheel locks were missing.They didnt do tire rotation but they took my wheel locks so I have to go back and get it from them. Thats was one of the worst days ever! read more

Daniel is the best! He took excellent care of my car and truly gave me the VIP treatment. He was honest, trustworthy, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. There's no other place I'd rather go. I'll definitely be back in six months to get my alignment done again! And it wasn't overpriced with great quality. read more

Israel is great and helpful every time I go there. Was extremely disappointed by the lack of basic customer service by Daniel. Walked in, and stood at the counter with not even a look in my direction or a single mention that he was just working on some thing and will be with me shortly; he printed something out, walked outside, and as I was about to walk away, he came back in and didn't say a word to me, I understand it could get busy but that's not acceptable. I asked if he was going to be able to help me and he just responded how can I help you. If it weren't for Luis and Israel, I'd probably not want to go back there read more

Used to be good to come here to do basic car maintenance. Terrible costumer service, especially by Daniel who is extremely condescending and unprofessional. They oversell you on parts and labor, and try to sell you things your car doesn't need. You should shop around and get better quotes from reputable mechanics. Avoid this place. read more

I Recommend coming to this location to get your car service done. Not only is the service excellence but the customer service is a win!!!! Thank you to Daniel, Chris and Freddy ..... and to all the workers here , my car drove very smoothly after my car service.... They give you the facts and take good care of your car ... they have great deals too !!!!! Stop by and look no further ... read more

Lyft car inspection I made an appointment and my car was worked on immediately despite the place being busy. Daniel was very nice and professional. The fee was very reasonable considering all the items inspected. There were additional items inspected, I think as a favor due to my car's high mileage. I'm a very satisfied customer. read more

This store has no way to improve nor better service. Quality ? Quality ? I have no idea what this store has...because when I took my car to this store for check out breaks they said it took a couple hours to be done but it actually took for over 6 hours even I had an appointment. Wasting time and wasting money. read more

They hit my car with something and I'm not trying to go and fight them about it and waste my time, went in for alignment just saw my car with a hit and scratch. read more

Pep Boys - Tires Near Me - Panorama City, California

The worst impressions from meeting this office. It was necessary to change the side mirror on the car. Firstly, the price quoted was at least twice as expensive as the average one indicated on the Internet, and the work was estimated at three times more expensive than the spare parts. Secondly, the time that they themselves quoted - two hours turned into five hours, and the work was never done. And thirdly, when I could not stand it and demanded to return the car without repairs, they began to demand payment for the work from me. They did not treat me rudely, but with contempt and impolitely. I took the car without repairs and payment. Even one star is too much read more

Frank, the technician here at this PepBoys is such a hard worker. He's friendly, attentive and takes the time to listen to all of your vehicle concerns. I applaud you ! Israel, you're also a great asset to PepBoys! Your communication skills and customer service makes you an outstanding employee! Great job boys!! read more

Had a bad experience today. Went in to have my tire pressure checked. Waited an hour and they told me nothing is wrong with my tires, no holes what so ever. They technician that looked at the car said that my tires has different pressure on it. They recommended that I just need to change my tires because I do not have good thread anymore. It blows my mind because I got my tires not too long ago. They did not even try to fix my tire pressure issue by adding air. I left pep boys with almost flat tire on the front wheel drivers side. Bad experience and by the way I was treated I cannot trust this place anymore. I will not recommend this place. read more

Do not trust David. He quoted me the most expensive price for an A/C repair, I suspect without even really looking at the vehicle. Took it to another shop down the street, and they quoted me 1/3rd the price. Never go here unless you wanna get ripped off read more

Terrible service, I had an appointment for 10 am and had to wait 3 hours before being attended too. Not recommended, and a big waste of time. read more

Pep Boys - Waiting area, - Tires Near Me - Panorama City, California

Over 2 and 1/2 hour wait for an OIL CHANGE! I usually get my oil changes her and I always make appointment. I arrived to my appointment time and Dropped off my car said I'll be back at 2 hours later. The worker that checked me in was great answered all my questions, agreed that I could return in two hours. once I arrived 2 hours later my car had not been moved and hand not been serviced yet. was told wot would take another 30 minutes. read more

Worst freaking pep boys ever !! Crappy attitude and bad service !! Workers have bad attitudes and don't give a crap about the customers !! I think they don't realize that the way they are treating people will mean that they will be out of a job in the future. read more

2 stars for the relative cleanliness of the facility, and completing the process of mounting a tire in a timely way, not having me wait too long. However, the overall low rating for this shop is 100% due to the exceedingly poor communication skills of a Daniel Sanchez, the "gentleman" who took care of me when I first entered the stored, and completed my paperwork when the work on my vehicle was completed. Extremely unpleasant character, seemingly intent on arguing with me on every bit of minutiae that came up in our interaction. Very unprofessional. At one point, threatened me with the prospect of not working on my car, because he didn't [presumably] did not like something that I said to him. It boggles my mind that an individual with this set of character traits would be put in a position to greet customers, and be the first--and often, only--employee to interact with them. Extremely poor customer experience dealing with this very unpleasant individual! read more

Robbed of $900. I originally just came in for an oil change and upon inspection they all of a sudden found a lot of problems with my car. I had no choice but to pay because they threatened to tell my job because I'm a gig worker, that my car had problems so I had no choice because they were blackmailing me and if I don't pay I might get fired do not go here. read more

the service was on point and the employees were very helpful. Jaime p. was super friendly and very knowledgeable, he answered all my questions and tended to all my needs. it was a pleasant experience and if anyone needs to get an alignment done they should definitely try this location. they won't be disappointed. Just ask for Jaime read more

Since I saw that Pep Boys cares about their negative reviews by way of posting to every one of them, I was hopeful that they would take my review seriously. What happens here is they open a "case" and contact you via email but eventually they just forward it to the same shop to handle, who don't seem to care about making it right with customers. So in the end they really don't care. It's unfortunate that there isn't a regional customer service team or perhaps a regional manager that cares enough to step in and make it right. So I stand by my original post that they did treat us well, performed the repair properly and got us in quickly on a Sunday; however, I still feel as though they overcharged us. Marking up a $850 part to $1100 is just not right for your consumers. read more

I took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation. The guy behind the counter (Daniel) said I needed to replace my tires. When I told him I bought my tires brand new 2 years ago and they don't need to be replaced, he told me my tires were 6 years old and then sarcastically said whoever sold me those tires sold me used tires. How does this genius know they were used tires and when I purchased them? Then he said he wouldn't rotate the tire because my tires needed to be replaced. These guys at Pep Boys make up arbitrary information to upsell you tires you don't need and are willing to lose business over a simple tire rotation. Just brilliant! Also, they put 5w-20 oil in my car when I specifically asked the genius to put 5w-30. I'll be going back to my mechanic for an oil change and tire rotation. Yeah, it costs a bit more, but I won't be dealing with guys at Pep Boys who will try to upsell you, won't rotate your tires, and screw up a simple oil change. read more

Not reliable. I took my car into this Pep Boys location over a month ago because I felt my brakes needed changed. I was told the brakes were fine and then two months later I went to another Pep Boys location for another repair and was told that the back brakes needed replaced immediately. I don't even think the Panarama Pep Boys checked the brakes. And the ironic thing was that I went here because of their high rating. I will never return to this Pep Boys again because I would prefer not to be lied to. If you don't have the time to go back and forth (and who does?), avoid this location. read more

Spoke to someone named Daniel, I was told my car couldn't be serviced because "I'm supposed to get synthetic oil" lmao I have been using conventional oil for years. The man tried to upsell me, it didn't work so he dismissed me in a very non chalant manner. I ended up going to the pep boys on Sepulveda instead, they accommodated the conventional oil change. Thanks for wasting my time ! How stupid do I look to you guys?? read more

It's worst customer service provided by this location. Representative on front desk ask me wait 2 min and he will be back. After waiting 30 min I told another representative to help me. After I order tire they told me call them on Friday make sure I got tire before make an appointment. I got no answer. Try to live chat online still no answer. Called main office even they not able to contact themDon't recommend anyone go there. Most likely I will request refund and order it different place. read more

I swear no one wants to work. They need to update the hours to this location. On the website it says 8, then the employee says 6 and I call and they said 7. It's an hour and you aren't doing anything. All I needed was for them to check if a tire is leaking. I have a rental and enterprise sent me here because they are partners. Enterprise needs to find a better company to work with. read more

Awful customer service, very nasty attitude with no professional management. Beware of a so-called manager named Jaime F.
