As a corporate sponsor, Pep Boys donated $25,000 and worked with Toys for Tots to place collection bins in nearly 1,000 locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
The well-recognized Toys for Tots donation bins are in service waiting areas of Pep Boys locations throughout the country where customers can donate new, unwrapped toys.
Pep Boys has opened new Service and Tire Centers in Astoria, New York; Lawndale and Rocklin, California; and LaGrange, Georgia, as part of its continued expansion to meet the high demand for automotive service.
The new program aims to recruit, train and retain technicians, helping to fill an industry-wide talent gap projected to grow to 46,000 positions by 2026.
