We are still being colonized while our politicians try to pass new trade agreements to hasten the process.

I haven’t gone to Pep Boys ever since they took the cigar out of the one dudes mouth.

Will they still charge me $800 to put a new exhaust on a car that has fatal issues and will not pass state inspection?

I think Bridgestone owns Firestone. The big fish eat the little fish.

We have Pep Boys Tire centers here, but not their auto parts stores. They bought the Big 10 Tires chain a couple of years ago and renamed them Pep Boys Tires............................Smart move for Bridgestone...................

Yes, Bridgstone bought Firestone in 1988.
Put some Firestone 500s on your Pinto...

I have a feeling that’s not going to be good for the Pep Boys franchise.

Will they still charge me $800 to put a new exhaust on a car that has fatal issues and will not pass state inspection?They wanted over $500.00 to replace the radiator fan assembly on my 2004 Mustang. I did it for slightly over a $100. At that point I found that it still didn't work and that they lied to me when they said the relays were OK. Found a tiny little jpg of the relay setup on the web and replaced it myself. I do let them put temporary plugs in tires.

I had dry rot problems with Kumho. I got some General tires made in Brazil that are holding up much better.

Pep Boys was one of the companies that Peter Lynch used to gush about.
