Pep Boys reviews

Here's where it gets messy. Although there is opportunity to learn the service manager would rather have you sweep and mop the shop and also paint the bay doors and car lifts taking away from advancing your skills. Your days off are rarely if ever consecutive so forget trying to go out of town for a weekend unless you know months in advance. Low pay for responsibility of the position. yes you are technically lube tech; however, making 7.50/hr is not enough to live off of especially when you're supposed to be paid for working on vehicles as well. Rather than giving an oil change to the GST's they'll give it to the mechanics, even if they're swamped and make the customer wait an additional hour. Also, you have the feeling of being watched constantly by the manager and pretty much are told to up-sell or you lose your job. They make you explain service to customers in such a manner that their vehicle will blow up if they don't get that alignment done immediately because the vehicle slightly pulls.

Lazy managers Uneducated customers Stressful environment at times long hours on feet
