Well i was working today and had to kill some time. So I figured I would stop by pep boys at towershops. Well to my surprise :eek: they added a whole new section. Here are some of the brands I saw ON THE SHELF! Skunk2 coilovers, bunch of Tokico struts, Vibrant steel manidrel bends of all sizes, simpson helmets gloves race suits etc, ARP studs and bolts, turbo flanges/ gaskets, Injen intakes, Exedy Centerforce ACT clutches, whole bunch of morroso stuff, 30mm wheel spacers, t-bolt clamps and V band clamps, turbo couplings and reducers. I even saw a Sparco seat and a kirkey seat. They had alot of stuff, and it was only about half stocked. They said they will have everything done by the 16th. Yea they were alittle pricey , but if you need it right away then try pepboys. This sucks cause I always hated that store cause the people that work there are some of the dumbest people I have ever met.

Local supply of mandrel bends and turbo parts is good to know about. I wonder if all PB locations stock this stuff. I'll check the Lake Worth one tmrw if i have time - really curious now.
 
That's awesome. If there's a market for it of course they are going to sell it. I guess no one buys apc rubish any more. But yea their customer service is a bit lacking.

i dont think apc is even a company anymore i remember they came on stong when F&F came out they just faded off like a year or two later that company has staying power LMAO
 
It was a while ago but maybe this is what happened. I had heard that Autobacs Japan had purchased a major east coast parts distributor (not Pep Boys per se) but the actuall supplier to the stores and was looking on integrating there business structure to about 98 east coast stores. Now when I had last heard about all this it was 2004-200, I really dont know if it is the case but it would be cool seeing that there is no Autobacs like stores here on the eastside of the US.
