Pep Boys has military service in its DNA — the company was founded by Navy veterans back in 1921 — and it honors that heritage every day with a standing military discount. Active-duty service members, reservists, retirees, and veterans get 10% off their purchase with a valid military ID at every Pep Boys location, and every Wednesday they can save 50% on an oil change. Whether you need tires, routine maintenance, major repairs, or parts for a DIY job, the Pep Boys military discount is one of the most generous standing offers in the auto service industry. Here’s everything you need to know to claim it.
Who is Eligible for the Pep Boys Military Discount?
The Pep Boys military discount is available to active-duty service members, reservists, retired military, and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, including:
- U.S. Army
- U.S. Navy
- U.S. Air Force
- U.S. Marine Corps
- U.S. Coast Guard
- National Guard
To take advantage of the discount, eligible customers verify their status with a valid military ID in store at the time of purchase. Pep Boys also extends the same everyday program to first responders — police, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and 911 dispatchers — under its expanded military and first responder discount program. Pep Boys is additionally a proud employer of veterans and reserve members, and even operates on-base locations at Navy NEXCOM bases across the country.
How Much Military Discount Does Pep Boys Provide?
Eligible military customers save 10% off their purchase with a valid military ID — and that’s just the everyday offer. Every Wednesday, military members receive 50% off their oil change, covering both Conventional and Platinum Synthetic oil changes. That’s a standout deal for anyone keeping up with routine vehicle maintenance.
A few key terms to know: the military discount is not valid in combination with other offers, rebates, discounts, or promotions, with the exception of manufacturer rebates. It cannot be processed on PepBoys.com online checkout — it’s an in-store discount — though you can schedule your service appointment online and have the discount applied at pickup. The discount is honored at all Pep Boys locations nationwide (approximately 1,000 locations with 9,000+ service bays across 35 states and Puerto Rico), covering tires, oil changes, maintenance, repairs, and parts.
How to Claim the Pep Boys Military Discount
- Schedule your service online. Book your appointment at pepboys.com — tires, oil change, brakes, battery, alignment, or general repair — at the location most convenient for you.
- Visit the store on your appointment date. Head to your local Pep Boys at the scheduled time. Remember: the military discount is applied in store, not through online checkout.
- Present your valid military ID. Show your active-duty, reserve, retired, or veteran military ID to the service advisor when you check in or at payment.
- Get 10% off your purchase. The discount is applied to your in-store order for services and parts.
- Time it for Wednesday for maximum savings. Visit on a Wednesday with your military ID to score 50% off a Conventional or Platinum Synthetic oil change on top of the program’s everyday value.
