It looks like the end of Pep Boys as Carl Icahn is selling off the assets to Mavis Tire. I can't say that it's much of a loss to consumers since Pep Boys discontinued retail auto parts sales several years ago and transitioned to tire and basic maintenance services only.

I used to love going to my local Tempe,AZ Pep Boys. They had some good service guys too. Oh well, None around here in Kentucky anyway.

They'd mail out "$5 coupons" which made their oil change packages competitive in price.
Otherwise, they were the lowest form of FLAPS.
They opened a new one near me with 7 bays.
During one visit a senior lady, who told me she had worked all over the county, whispered to me to stay away.
This was the same location which inspected recently replaced brakes on a friend's car and charged her $1,600 for new brakes.
The antagonistic slime who work there also pipe wrenched a Fumoto valve on the same car.

My biggest complaint was how every Sunday they'd have a full page of coupons in the Chicago Tribune, but none of the stores would honor them.
