  • The Pep Boys mechanics do not fix scooters period. Now they have the potential to do it and yes a company with 600 locations can probably set up some of the best repair centers in the world they have the money to do it, but right now no big box retailer in the USA does that.

    They dont fix what they sell when it comes to Powersports. They dont care to. You can get quality products from China ( Taiwan and Italian Scooter brands come from there now) Just not at Pep Boys.

  • Ok, I work the other side no big box retailer shows up at an OEM and says I want the best scooter or kart.

    They ask ok we want drum instead of disk, we want cheaper mirrors, cheaper packaging, so yes the video is accurate. The big box retailers cut corners.

  • great channel

  • @Boondogll Im sorry which Pep Boys have you ever been to that repairs actual scooters on site? Just name one. There are none, this is all factual. I know the former president of BAJA Motorsports. Ive been to the factories in China so tell me how is this not factual?

  • There is that cash register ringing again at MRP that sells these parts!

    Looks like Pep Boys and their scooter supplier, Baja Inc. are finally being penalized for their questionable scooters in the largest Clean Air Act case ever. The complaint alleges that Pep Boys sold over 241,000 illegal vehicles and engines (45 models!). Hopefully this publicity will spark an NHTSA investigation (the Clean Air Act action ignores the safety and road-worthiness of these vehicles.)

  • hmmm, ALL ARE MADE IN CHINA, which I'm sorry, I dont care who sells them, they are all GARBAGE.

  • First, I ain't XD.

    Second, how exactly is it doo doo? What exactly is the problem.?

    All the dirty words in the world will not make up for a vague answer.

    Best wishes

    Joe

  • think what you will XD. This is a short video just to tell people that dammit baja is SHIT.
