Ugh, Pep Boys. There's nothing wrong with a good deal, but these deals are ordinary if you neglect the mail-in rebate, which is fair because the claim rate on $5 MIRs is surely very low. Their competitiors' oil change of the month is priced around $15, which is about what you'd pay every day at Wal-Mart.
I have worked for AutoZone and Advance, and I don't feel that fact has swayed my opinion on the above.
