I remember back in the day Western Auto. Great for speed parts.

"The other change came this spring when the company unveiled a new look and a new business model for its 109 California Pep Boys stores. Pep Boys will lease the auto parts half of the operation to a competitor, Advance Auto Parts — but will retain the auto repair half of the operation."

This is what I see when I think of a Pep Boys [aka 3 stooges] brake job would look like!

Been a month or so since I was there but the woman there told me they were bought by another company, cannot remember who though.

They done lost all their pep. Manny, Moe, and Jack are rolling over in their graves.

Looks like they have retained the service side, and sold/closed the parts side.
I think the only service pep boys has ever performed for me is mounting tires I bought there, 30 years ago.
