Pep Boys is SOOOO screwed it isn’t funny. It is a federal law, so looks like they will be raising prices to cover all the legal fees and awards they will be paying out.

No problem for me, I will now buy my oil and other supplies from Auto Zone. Had been doing so at Pep Boys since they are closer, but NOT NOW…

Thanks for the heads-up Frank S

Not for nuttin', but the damn Pep Boys in my area charges way more item for item than the AutoZone less than a mile away. The only difference is I need to brush up on my Spanish if I want to get any help at the AutoZone. Ya can't win!!

- I bought my Silverstars at AZ, 19.95 vs. 24.95 at Pep Boys.

I've been avoiding Pep Boys for over a year now. Definately glad I've been doing it and will continue to do so.

I agree on the standpoint of boycotting Pep on the basis of the Navy person being fired HOWEVER, boycotting on the basis of them selling "ricer" items is simply absurd.

This is a free economy and, the last time I checked, we weren't a socialist state. Businesses can sell goods and services based on a public demand. Be thankful that we have that luxury.

I've started shopping at O'Rieelys...don't buy my oil or filters there though...wally mart still beats them but for other parts they either have them or can get them that afternoon...they even had motorcraft replacment wires for my truck...they listed 144...the dealer wanted 133...I got them for 83 and they were perfect...who else can do that and have them in stock!!
