The Pep Boys: Manny, Moe & Jack Case Settles for $356,000

In December 2018, The Pep Boys: Manny, Moe & Jack (Pep Boys), of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, settled its case with the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

This conduct was in violation of California Code of Regulations title 13, 2222, Vehicle Code 27156 and 38391. Pep Boys has agreed to pay a $599 per unit penalty, resulting in a total penalty amount of $356,000.
