Pep Boys has opened new Service and Tire Centers in Astoria, NY;
Lawndale and Rocklin, CA; and LaGrange, GA, as part of its
continued expansion to meet the high demand for automotive service.
The new locations, which are near the metro centers of New York,
Los Angeles, Sacramento and Atlanta, include both greenfield and
acquisition properties. They were selected for their proximity to
both individual and fleet customers that need convenient, local
shops for service to reduce the time they’re without their
vehicles.

“The demand for quality service is high, but so is the demand
for convenience, and Pep Boys is a one-stop shop that can provide
both for our customers,” said Brian Kaner, CEO-Service. “As
automotive technology continues to evolve at a rapid rate,
investments to expand our capabilities and our network, especially
in densely populated areas, will enable us to provide better
service to more customers. At the same time, it is the goal of
every one of our shops to get to know their neighbors and become a
trusted member of their local community.”
According to the Auto Care Association, the top three reasons
Do-It-For-Me (DIFM) Service customers choose a shop are trust, a
good prior experience and a convenient location.1 Pep Boys proudly
offers customers quality service performed by ASE-certified
technicians in nearly 1,000 locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico,
including the four new Service and Tire Centers:
Pep Boys Lawndale at 15820 Inglewood Ave.,

updated service bays equipped with the latest technology.
