The Pep Boys � Manny, Moe & Jack (NYSE:PBY), the nation�s
leading automotive aftermarket retail and service chain, offers
motorists tips to spring into the new season with a radiantly
detailed, and well-maintained, vehicle. From winter�s grimy grip to
spring and summer�s warmer weather, Pep Boys has what you need to
prepare your car for outdoor fun on the open road. As spring
approaches, it is important to inspect the condition of your
vehicle�s wiper blades, lights and tires. Pep Boys recommends
Rain-X Latitude wiper blades, as they contour to your vehicle�s
windshield, providing even wiping pressure along the entire blade.
Sylvania Silverstar Ultra headlamps offer up to 20% brighter light
than standard halogen, so you gain better night vision as well as
improved side road viewing. Pep Boys also offers the lowest price
guaranteed on tires, as well as free tire pressure checks and free
rotation with a tire purchase. When it comes to getting your car
ready for spring, Pep Boys� Platinum tune-up packages will help you
maximize your vehicle�s performance. Clean gas, air, and spark
plugs create the power necessary to move your vehicle. Clogged fuel
injectors, dirty air and fuel filters, worn tires and corroded
spark plugs can all decrease engine performance and contribute to
decreased gas mileage and performance. �Spring is an ideal time to
check your car�s maintenance needs, as well as refresh and protect
the condition of your car�s exterior,� said Pep Boys Vice President
of Retail Merchandising Galen Bullock. �The winter weather can be
very harsh on a car�s condition, so we recommend that motorists
visit Pep Boys for a preventive maintenance check and to select
from a wide variety of parts, accessories and appearance chemicals
that are designed to keep a car running � and looking � smooth.�
Months of exposure to the winter elements and road salt have
probably stolen the luster from your car�s finish. And, looking
ahead to summer�s heat, bugs, tree sap and pollutants, there�s no
better time than now to prepare your car�s finish for the days
ahead. Key to cleaning up and giving your vehicle the Pep Boys star
treatment is choosing the right car care wash and wax products, and
knowing how to use them. The process begins with a thorough
cleaning using a quality car wash, which no longer means you have
to spend hours using a bucket and sponge. The Mr. Clean Auto Dry
Carwash system is a hand-held tool that attaches right to your
garden hose. It is safe for all car finishes, does not strip wax
and protects your car�s clearcoat by cleaning dirt and water spots
and leaving a shine on the surface. You�ll get spot-free clean and
shine in about 30 minutes � no hand drying required. Waxing your
car is perhaps the most important step in improving its appearance
and protecting the paint. Pep Boys stocks a wide variety of options
and top-of-the-line brands, including Meguiar�s. Meguiar�s Web site
(www.meguiars.com) makes it easy for you to decide on the best wax
purchases for your vehicle. In the �How to Center� section, you�ll
find �Rx Plus,� Meguiar�s self-help feature that personalizes an
exterior and interior detailing plan for your car based on the
information you provide. Brake dust and grime can be easily removed
from the tires and wheels with any of the wide variety of wheel and
tire cleaners available at Pep Boys. When it comes to offering an
assortment of easy-to-use, quality cleaning products, leading brand
Mother�s has what you need. For great looking wheels, take this
three-step approach with Mother�s products from Pep Boys: start
with Mother�s wheel cleaner to lift stubborn road and tire residue.
Then, use Mother�s Powerball foam polishing tool to buff
hard-to-reach places. Finally, Mother�s Tire Shine spray will help
you get a glossy finish. And don�t forget about the interior.
Vacuum first and then use a quality carpet and upholstery cleaner
to make your interior look better and last longer. Pep Boys offers
deep cleaning Blue Coral Dri-Clean products to remove stains and
eliminate odor. A good interior protectant is especially useful for
the many vinyl portions of the car�s interior. Not only do they
provide protection from dirt, grime and the sun�s harmful UV rays,
but they also offer an attractive shine. To maintain the look of
your leather, Pep Boys has a variety of brands of
specially-formulated wipes, cleaners and conditioners. Floor mats
are also very important to interior maintenance. They protect your
vehicle�s carpet from spills, stains, dirt and wear. And, if your
floor mats are showing signs of age, check out the great selection
at your local Pep Boys. Finally, finish your interior with some
glass cleaner on the windows and add a sweet-smelling air freshener
to create a full-sensory spring cleaning. You can find all of the
top-name car care products you need � including Armorall,
Meguiar�s, Eagle One, Mother�s and Turtle Wax � to breathe new life
into your car, and maintain those good looks year-round at your
local Pep Boys. About Pep Boys Pep Boys has 593 stores and over
