quoteing dude who said, i worked at pep boys...they suck

being that your probably a lazy bastard...yes, you suck.

Lets lay it out like this, if you have had a problem with manny moe or even the lovable jack and all you have managed to do is bitch and moan and complain on a MB, then its your ****. You could have easily reported to 1800 pep boys, M.A.P. (Motorist Assurance Program) or to ASE. If you took non of those steps to solve your problem, you have a very tiny leg to stand on...and your wearing no shoe. I worked at Pep Boys and probably will be back there within a week. Lemme break it down kids....

1) All Mechanics, Technicians and, Master Tech.s are different people and all make mistakes. If you can show me 1, not two but 1, garage that has never and will never make a mistake, I will remove my testicals and promptly feed them to my dog. Every garage is going to make mistakes, that is just how it goes. And when you have hundreds of stores in all of the continental US of A, then yes, you are going to have a few more mistakes than Joe's Garge on Main St.

2) Pep Boys underpays you, like every major business you will EVER work for. You dont make money by paying morons (like us) more than they deserve or require. Duh.

3) Pep Boys sells APC products. Look, we all make mistakes ok? Remember that time at your friends house, with that girl? You got reaaally drunk? See, your just like Manny and Moe. Not, Jack. He bats for the other team.

4) They actually are over priced! Its simple math, 3$ @ WalMart is better than 7$ at Pep Boys.

Yes, I defend their service dept. 72/hr service rate is NOT that bad, considering the 80+$/hr rate for small dealerships. And if they do fauk up, they will fix if or pay to have it fixed. I have seen two very happy people @ PB's efter very bad oil changes. One drove home in a 00 Sebring, cause we blew hers up....hers with the damaged front end, fauked up paint and tapping motor she "bought from her uncle for 1500" Now has spankin new 00. She likes that happens, and we will always pay out that *** you shut you up....

too long..bed time..

look ****er... you dont know me so you cant call me lazy or anything...


the pep boys i worked at sucked... the manager i worked under was a complete dimwit, half of the service department was somehow related to the district manager,so they really didnt get fired or nothing much happened when something was "missing" (there was only one good intaller there who knows his **** and i give major props to)

try calling 1800-pep-boys he he

and have the district manager go check stuff out... yeah allright buddy.

the assistant manager that worked under the complete idiot who shouldnt even be a manager was a brilliant person... and he worked for pep boys for over 20 years and never had one shot at management...
what does that tell you about the company???

when i asked him why didnt he get a break, he told me because oftentimes, the dimwits are at the right place at the right time... of course he never dissed the manager or anything... that guy showed a lot of respect to his superiors but i am personally angry he didnt get a break.

i dont really care about APC being sold because business is business ($$ talks)... those ricers go in there and buy the stuff.. good for them who cares... if you dont like it dont buy it...



I was never bitchin or moaning about pep boys like you posted... i just stated my opinion.

and did you know that pep boys is being sued for having employees work during their lunch break, after punching out, and not taking care of injuries?? and its not in the store i worked with... its nationwide.

i messed up my back and just wanted to have it checked out i didnt wanna sue or anything and they took 3 weeks! 3 ****in weeks to send me to one!! and thats after calling your beloved 1 800 pep boys number... Now for that you betcha i have a reason to sue them but i really dont care.. i have no permanent damage and ive moved on...

yes they suck. I wouldnt again work there and if you wanna work there go ahead but dont try to defend em like you own the place because youre not getting any compensation for kissing their *** on a message board.

I know you guys are in a heated discussion so don't get mad if I have a correction to your statement. Not all states are required to gives employees meal breaks (rest periods) as defined by the department of labor's standards act and even OSHA. Freakin exempt, suck man
I am not starting a war, just stating a correction to the lawsuit you bring forth. my employers suck, they give the 1st shift those options but not 2nd or 3rd. (we take em anyways, haha)

[krazy_racer]

hey man thanks for the input... i like a good discussion as long as it doesent get personal like that a-hole that called me a lazy bastard... i mean who the fuk does he think he is....

anyways.. the lawsuit was brought up by employees who were told to punch out for lunch and asked to work (for free) also employees nationwide complain that they would punch out and keep working because managers told them that if they didnt do it theyd get less hours the next period...

um...this thread is :ghey: and should probably be moved.

I wouldnt find it proper to discuss private business with people outside the business, but yes they are being sued. I got the same notice, and it is fooked up. As far as who the hell am i? I got my finger crushed but 3 tons of steel and didnt sue, I make 7.76 as a Service Advisor and getting my a$$ handed to me on a daily basis. I know you, your every installer I have EVER worked with. That is three stores in 2 1/2 years. Everyone complains about their job, then they move to another one and complain about that on. Who am I? Im a realist, and asshole and worst of all, truthful.
