About

Pep Boys is a Philadelphia-founded automotive aftermarket service and retail chain providing vehicle maintenance, tire services, repairs, and auto parts across 1,000+ US service locations — operating as part of Icahn Automotive Group owned by Carl Icahn's Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ: IEP), which acquired Pep Boys in 2016 for $1 billion. Founded in 1921 by "Manny, Moe & Jack" (Manny Rosenfeld, Moe Mowshowitz, and Gracie Strauss), Pep Boys' service-and-retail co-located model distinguishes it from pure retail auto parts stores (AutoZone, O'Reilly) and pure service chains (Jiffy Lube, Midas) by offering parts purchasing alongside professional installation under one roof with unified customer service.
