New destination dedicated to performance auto parts connects with the community through a Speed Shop pro, car shows and clinics
The parking lot of Pep Boys’ Bel Air store at 403A Baltimore Pike was recently full of auto enthusiasts and local residents celebrating the grand reopening of the Pep Boys Speed Shop, a performance store destination dedicated to providing do-it-yourselfers and specialty installers with custom and performance-related parts, expert advice and a hub for local car culture.
Pep Boys Speed Shops, now located in more than 100 Pep Boys stores around the country, create a unique in-store experience that includes interaction with a Pep Boys Speed Shop pro and access to a selection of thousands of high-performance hard parts and accessories from leading brands, right in customers’ neighborhoods.
From classic to modern muscle cars, 4x4s, trucks, Jeeps, sport compacts and drag racers, Pep Boys Speed Shops offer basic and upgraded engine components, suspension parts and accessories for enthusiasts who want their cars to run better and look cooler. The Speed Shops also are backed by an extensive online inventory that can expedite getting parts right to the customer’s home or shop.
Each Pep Boys Speed Shop is staffed by knowledgeable pros who are as passionate about car performance and vehicles as the customers they serve. With dedicated specialties and the ability to connect to a network of fellow performance experts, Speed Shop pros can assist enthusiasts, offer installation recommendations, simply talk shop and more.
Speed Shop pros host car shows, cruise nights, clinics and fundraising events, while maintaining an active social media presence that creates a physical and virtual sense of community. These events bring local car clubs together and provide the venue for enthusiasts to show off and test the performance of their rides for a chance to win giveaways, awards and local bragging rights.
