Pep Boys continues to enhance its national network with the opening of a relocated Service and Tire Center in Lodi, New Jersey, at 145 U.S. 46 West. Pep Boys Lodi moved a short distance to a larger location with newly renovated service bays with the latest diagnostic technology, and customer areas to better meet the needs of drivers and fleets.
Pep Boys Service Manager Freiqui Espinal, who has more than a decade of experience in the automotive industry, leads a team that includes two master technicians, as well as several other ASE-certified technicians experienced in performing maintenance and repairs on nearly all makes and models.
“Our team might spend most of our time servicing vehicles, but we’re also drivers ourselves. We understand the value of convenience and that our customers are counting on us to keep their cars and their families safe,” said Espinal. “We’re excited about being in this new space and being able to continue to provide both our loyal and new customers great service.”
Pep Boys Lodi, and several other recently opened locations in Astoria, New York; LaGrange, Georgia; and Rocklin and Lawndale, California, brings the total number of Pep Boys service centers to nearly 1,000 in 35 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. The chain has excellent coverage in the densely populated New York-Metro area, including locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, as well as New York state, New Jersey and Connecticut. The new Service and Tire Centers are the latest in a series of ongoing investments in customer convenience and value, which includes the expansion of Pep Boys Fleet and Pep Boys Mobile Crew, and partnerships with leading online retailers through which customers can purchase tires and schedule in-store installation appointments.
Pep Boys is part of Icahn Automotive, which, together with national and regional service providers such as AAMCO, Precision Tune and RPM Automotive, comprises one of the nation’s largest service networks.
