I am rejecting this response because:
Regards,
[redacted] I'm rejecting this response as Pep boys is responsible for damage of my car I have attached documents from the dealing indicting the reason why my car was damage. The mechanic did not his do diligence in which caused my power steering to be destroyed. When will someone take responsibilities for damaging someone car and costing more money to correct the problem. I spend 200.00 to get a belt, turn around had to spend close to $2,000.00 to get my car fix. Power steering do not damage that easy as I said before before I brought my car to Pep boys was nothing wrong with my power steering. For Pep Boys not to take responsibilities for their workers is just not right.
I want a better resolution.
Thank you

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
Is this some kind of joke? “No one”…. I repeat “No one” has
bothered to contact me regarding this issue. Not by phone, not by postal mail,
not by email. To receive a response from Pep Boys saying that this matter has
been resolved is a joke! The lies and deceit that come from Pep Boys seem to be
a systemic problem starting from the Top, working its way down to the stores. I
have been lied to by the Pep Boys service center by telling me my a/c has been
fixed to the tune of 5-6 times and now I have been lied to by the corporate
office by saying this problem has been resolved and that I have been contacted
regarding this issue.
It seams to me that the culture of deception and untruths
permeates throughout Pep Boys and is actually accepted as corporate culture by
this very response to my complaint. Let me repeat, “No One” has contacted me
regarding my complaint. None of the charges have been credited back to my
account and my a/c still blows hot as I enjoy the 100 plus degree temperatures
here in [redacted] in the middle of the summer.
“I will state again because my first write up must not have
been clear.
I am requesting that Pep Boys
refunds all of my money for service that was not completed and corrected by
your service center. I returned 5-6 times to allow your service center to
correct the problem. I have been an accommodating customer allowing Pep Boys
the opportunity to correct their deficient work. I am not 100% satisfied with
the work that your service center provided me. I am not satisfied with the work
that was done because I still have the SAME issues that I had when I
first brought my vehicle into your service center.

[redacted]

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed Administratively Resolved] Complaint: 10047666  (Pep Boys Case # [redacted])I am rejecting this response because:
(1,) Based on a conversation with the Pep Boys # [redacted] Service Manager; the displinary action taken for the Pep Boys Technician who failed to properly tighten down the lug nuts placing the lives of my family & others on the road was a written warning. The was rather disturbing based on another Pep Boys Techinians statements; stating that this was this Pep Boys Technician 3rd warning and that any additional warnings would be cause for termination.
(2.) Pep Boys Area Manager never apoligized or offer any reimbursement for the tow charges incurred ([redacted], Ca. to Pep Boys [redacted] +- 60 miles one-way)
(3.) The reimbursement offer made by the Area Manager was "not" for the cost of the Rack & Pinion Service (Parts & Labor); but for the "labor only". The total charge paid was $195.48 (parts) and $385.28 (labor) or $596.40
(4.) Pep Boys nor the Area Manager never provided any explanation for the additional "fraudulent"  "front brake" job recommendations; leading additional suspect that the "rear brake" job at a cost of $345.92 was potentially also not necessary. Please see attached statement for Professional Mechanic [redacted]; who reinspected and analyzed the Pep Boys front brake job recommendation.
(5.) Although I have been a long time patron of Pep Boys; this is the "second" time I have to place a major compliant due to negligence and poor service at Pep Boys # [redacted]. The other major compliant at this same Pep Boys location was Case # [redacted] (07/2012).
At this time, I am asking Pep Boys to review this additional information and respond.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:LET ME REPEAT. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED BY MANAGEMENT. I WAS NEVER APOLOGIZED TO.  I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR SIMPLE THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN NO MORE THAN 2 HOURS. I am mot going to go over the whole nightmare again. Obviously this is going in circles and not resolved to my satisfaction. My next step is to seek legal action and have my day of work that I missed reimbursed when all I originally asked for was a gift card or some kind of credit. They claimed they did not charge for my oil change but I provided proof that I was charged and paid for it. That goes to show they lie and lied about contacting me too.

[redacted]

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I do not want to deal with the store manager or any associates at that location. My first several attempts at a resolution were made through the business and it ended with me driving to [redacted] with a badly installed fuel pump that I was talked into paying for even though I had paid $1000 already to fix the issue that brought me to that Pep Boys in the first place. I will not accept anything less than talking with Pep Boys corporate about the issues and starting a resolution through them.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  the object in question, in this case a tire, is still listed as 'available' on their website, weeks after my initial complaint.  I find it difficult to believe that inventory control at this company is so lax that they do not know what inventory their stores have, or where it is located.

Absolutely shocked and appalled by the service department!  There were three men at the counter who didn't even acknowledge me when I was sent over from the register.  I waited over an hour to get a battery, air filter and wipers installed.  They didn't give me the price until the work was done.  Then they held my car hostage,  because they wouldn't take my check and told me to take a cab home which cost me 40.00 then I had to come back to resolve the payment issue.  The manager (Gil) if he was a manager,  made no attempt to get my check approved or look into the problem, he just kept telling me my check as no good which I know was a lie.  I am an auditor and had more than enough to cover the check.    I made an appointment on-line but had to wait for the "walk-ins" who were there first.  Why make an appointment?   I had an appointment at 1PM and didn't get home from this whole ordeal until 5:30 PM.  My advise is take your business somewhere else
