Interviewed Dec 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 1+ week)
I was called after online submission to come in for interview. I met with recruiter for about 1 hr. Interview was very positive even though it was held in the rear storage facility in the back of the store. A small fold up card table and 2 chairs, extremely noisy but i was not discouraged with the atmosphere of the location. We went over my resume of which i had already submitted by the way.Then he explained to me that i was way more qualified for this position than what they were looking for and that it only paid $40,000.00/yr.He explained to me that i needed to be a store manager or district manager to utilize my extensive background in this field and that i was really a great catch for the company.He expressed to me that i had the background and expertise that pep boys was looking for and was hard to find. I asked if they had those positions available or could the position that i had applied for be increased to at least $52,000.00/yr. He said he would have a meeting with the District Mgr. and call me in a couple of days and that he didn't want to loose me as a future member of pep boys. I never heard back from him so i called and got his voice mail, left message, and waited for the call back. Nothing came. The purpose of this rant is just to voice my disgust with companies such as this. They don't mind taking up your time and going through the motions also telling you or promising you anything that they want simply to string you along and then they don't even have the courtesy to return a simple phone call. If you treat your future employees this way , just how will you treat me after i come on board? Thanks pep boys for wasting my time.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Chicago Ridge, IL (took a day)
The manager asked me general automotive questions such as, what is the difference between a carburetor and fuel injection? She also asked me general knowledge about cash register familiarity. After the interview, which took about 15 minutes, I was promised a call back the next day. I did receive the call back only to learn that the decided they were not going to hire any new associates.

Interviewed May 2011 in Westchester, CA (took a day)
Applied online and got a call a few weeks after applying. I was offered 10-15 hours of work a week. Starting pay was min. wage. The manager does the interview and he asked "What do you know about automobiles and do you have any experience with automobiles?" "How would you treat a customer?" "What would you do if encountered an angry customer?" They asked me to sign a few documents and I accepted their offer and went to take a drug test the same day.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
At first I accepted offer, but after consideration I felt that the store was too far and the job has zero benefits. Also I really did not like the way the job was described at first I thought I would just deliver parts but then they tell me I have to sell stuff to Mechanic shops. Mostly the distance and benefits is reason why I declined. The manager seemed like not a nice guy.
