Pep Boys is WAY over priced. They do have a good selection though. AutoZone should do the trick. |

I believe Pep Boys was started in California. It's been around for a lot longer then I can remember back in the 1950's. They probably caught the California fever of gun paranoia.

The Pep Boys in Coon Rapids is another one that is posted like they are embarrassed about it. They even have it covered up with other stuff sometimes. I do not like Pep Boys anymore anyway, so I go to NAPA or AutoZone. |

I ordered an exhaust system for my brother-in-law's pickup truck. They were missing two parts. It was 3:30 pm. I went home and at 5:00 pm they called me to tell me that all the parts were in, and they would be open untill 8:00 pm.

It was probably on both. My radio exposure has been cut way down... The radio in my vehicle doesn't work. |

I was at the Pep Boys in Brooklyn Center and they had the sign up, but it was half covered. And to ensure they did not receive my business, they were rude. |
