Pep Boys is celebrating the grand opening of a brand new concept store in Los Angeles. The company is bringing back what it refers to as the “good old fashioned†speed shop from yesteryear to support the performance enthusiast market.
The goal of the new store is to provide one-stop shopping for performance parts and equipment with a huge selection of in-stock items. Whether customers are interested in muscle, tuner, off-road or performance diesel, Pep Boys will offer a huge selection of in-stock performance parts and accessories.

By David W. Allison. May 31st, 2009 at 2:09 pmHere is a company that simply needs to “go out out business”. Company has had no clear direction or leadership from the top down in years! Poor performing stores, sale ads that have little to do with selling car parts and way to many gimick ideas like this that go no were. Another example of an American business that has management in place that has no clue what there core business is all about.
By John. May 30th, 2009 at 2:39 pmI know this area very well where this Pep Boys is located,.. be careful is not a good area. If you go there be vigilant!
By joe. May 30th, 2009 at 8:34 amI agree, seems like weird timing for that business decision. There are probably only two places in the U.S. that a local speed shop would work, and I think So Cal is one of them.
Either way, for the sake of the hobby, I tip my hat and say… Good Luck, I hope it works!
By Terbo. May 29th, 2009 at 7:52 amHuh, wonder why they felt this was the time…. it’s cool, but could also be a flop if the prices aren’t in line with summit and jeggs.
