Business Wire
The Pep Boys — Manny, Moe & Jack (NYSE: “PBY”), announced
today that it is participating in the Motorist Assurance Program’s
(MAP) Brake Safety Awareness Week, August 20–28, by offering free
brake system inspections for the entire month of August at Pep Boys
locations across the nation.
Throughout the month, Pep Boys will also have informational
brake safety brochures and do-it-yourself guides available to
download at www.pepboys.com for consumers without a Pep Boys close
by.
Pep Boys recommends drivers regularly inspect their brake
systems, including all brake linings, hardware and hydraulics, or
have them inspected by trained technicians where available.
The Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association (AMRA) in
conjunction with the Pep Boys, recommends assessing the brake
system for the following maintenance indicators, each of which
could signify possible problems:
- A brake system warning lamp that stays
illuminated
- Scraping or grinding noises coming from
the brakes
- Brake pedal feel that’s soft or spongy
when the pedal is depressed
- A vehicle that pulls to one side when
the brakes are applied
- Low brake fluid level in the master
cylinder
- A brake fluid test indicating a copper
content of 200 ppm or greater
During Brake Safety Awareness Week, or any other day of the
year, drivers can stop by any Pep Boys location nationwide to
inquire about vehicle safety and recommended maintenance. Pep Boys
has experts on hand to answer questions, offer system inspections
and free tire pressure checks year-round to assure consumers are
driving safely.
“Taking care of your brakes is a critical part of keeping your
vehicle safe,” said Jerry Martinelli, Director of Service at Pep
Boys. “As we head into the fall season, now is an ideal time to
seek a thorough brake inspection.”
