My car was given a complete evaluation, each repair recommendation was explained and shown to me by the mechanic, options and suggestions were given by the service manager for the most needed and beneficial repairs. I felt comfortable , confident and not at all pressured with the whole experience

Top notch service. Professional, friendly and very accommodating! Had a tire replaced off a boat trailer and they had the tire and helped with other related items! 👍🏻👍🏻

Had Front Brake Package with new rotors put on my mustang at 57000 in June 2023 I’m now being asked to resurface my rotors at 57800 August 14th 2023. Less than 1 thousand miles later I am being told to resurface my Rotors. I wouldn’t trust the El Centro Branch Last time they touch my vehicle. Also Carlos was the one who installed my brakes the first time. Photos are first time and then 2nd time.

DO NOT GO TO PEP BOYS FOR ANY REASON!My vehicle needed an oil change and a slight alignment and after two days (eight hours total), my vehicle came out worse than what it went in as. Esteban refused any responsibility, any compensation for my time and quality of service. After the first day they “aligned” my truck, I had to drive with the steering wheel at 10:00 to avoid driving off the road. The second day, Esteban just smiled at me when I told him how bad my alignment was. No apologies, no sense in correcting the issue (without charging me). So cool that he refunded the alignment; so happy I didn’t have to pay to have my vehicle screwed up. He only agreed to “fix” my vehicle when I told him my traction control and cruise control were disabled because of how bad the alignment is. By “fix” it, I mean correct it enough to turn the light off and then had the audacity to lie to my face and say the alignment was still off cause of the two new front tires. Incompetency and condescension at its finest. Now I have to take my truck to a front end shop to correct what they messed up.

Christian saved my sister and I when we had a flat driving from Phoenix to SD. He stayed late and fixed us up for less money than we were expecting. David and Chris are hero’s!

I took my vehicle in for alignment. The staff was friendly and professional. The only problem I had was with the alignment itself. The vehicle still pulls to the left pretty bad and the technician stated that they were not able to alignment one of the wheels to spec. I have previous printouts from past alignments at the old shop I used to take my car to. They were always able to align all four tires to within spec, and no pulling ro the left or right. I think I may return to the old shop for future alignments.

7/21/23If I could this place ZERO stars I would.I called to check if it was ok drop off my car for an alignment, I was told yes by an employee who answered phone I let him know I would be there at 2pm. He said it was fine. I show up at 1:40pm and was refused service. Two employees there stated they were to busy. I had called in advance to avoid this and still happen. They told me next availability would be Sunday. Yet they have a opening for today at 6:30pm but still was refused service. Laziness makes no sense for business!!

Aldo was a great help, I got a flat before they closed and he made sure to stay open late for me and take care of me so I could make it back to Vegas. He was super transparent about the condition of my tires and gave me a great deal on four brand new tires. I never felt once like he was trying to upsell me or scam me. 10/10 would recommend this shop when in times of emergency. Thanks for taking care of me boys!

It is now Advanced Auto Parts. Good customer service, very polite and courteous. Willing to help. I gave it a 3 Star but let me correct that! We were pleased with the service, knowledgeable assistance and cleanliness of the store. And it's no fault of the service person at the counter, it is just because the part that we needed was not available and this is due to the sick not being available. Again, no fault of the store. Because of this Pandemic it's still hard to properly acquire what is needed. Thank you Christian.

I made a early drop off appointment for my 2013 GMC YUKON for a Synthetic oil change and rotation.. I received a call from Austin that the Tech was recommending tires and car was ready on time. The Manager Alex has been a great resource over the years for all my vehicle maintenance needs

Aldo provided the best customer service, went above and beyond, and provided all the help that I needed to get back on the road. Thank you so much for your hospitality and generosity.

Not exactly peppy. Had a 930 appointment it’s now a little after 12 noon and they’re still not quite done yet. No big deal if I just drop it off. But I’m actually on the road to Oregon.

Austin Chris and Alejandro all worked hard to make my service visit a great experience. I had to move my scheduled appt and there was no problem in doing it. Then they made sure I was out the door and able to make another scheduled meeting I had. They also worked to get me the best deal available to help save me a bit on the final total. I will be back, thank you all

From the moment i called to make my appointment the professionalism of the staff was amazing. Chris did an amazing job at making sure I received the best customer service. I have been a customer for years and have always received quality service with Pepboys in El Centro. I took my car in for several problems and it was fixed to the point my 2013 honda sounds and feels like a new car. Very happy with the service. They gave me a deadline of when my car should be ready and they met it. Highly recommend their service.

Dishonest employees quoted extremely high prices and tried to use scare tactics telling me my car was unsafe to drive. Drove away (completely safe) and was promptly quoted less than half their price to fix my car elsewhere. I will never go to this place again be careful if for some reason you end up here.
