The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack , a leading full-service, automotive aftermarket chain, announced that it will launch a pilot vehicle inspection program in 241 stores in California, Texas and Florida as part of a new relationship with eBay Inc. They expect to launch the program in April.
As part of the agreement, Pep Boys will perform a comprehensive mechanical and appearance inspection and perform requested repairs on any passenger vehicle that a customer wishes to sell on eBay Motors. Once the inspection is completed, the seller will be provided with an electronic Vehicle Condition Report that will be posted with the seller's vehicle listing for viewing by any of eBay Motors' nearly eight million users. As an added value for eBay users, anyone purchasing a vehicle inspection or a vehicle through eBay Motors will receive a preferred discount good on merchandise and service at Pep Boys.
Depending on the interest in the program, the parties expect to roll it out to the remaining 33 states that are served by Pep Boys this summer.
