Pep Boys Acquires AutoMaster in Expansion Bid

Pep Boys, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Icahn Automotive Group, announced it has acquired AutoMaster Service Center in Southington, Connecticut.

AutoMaster, a family-run business since 1998, is an eight-bay shop located in Southington, a Southwestern suburb of Hartford, Connecticut. It will be converted into a full-service Pep Boys Service & Tire Center.

“AutoMaster Service Center has been servicing the Southington community for nearly 20 years and is a key addition for Pep Boys as we increase our service center footprint in New England,” said James Healy, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy for Icahn Automotive Group.

The move is the latest in an expansion bid by Pep Boys, which since 1921 has been one of the nation’s leading automotive aftermarket chains, providing name-brand tires; automotive maintenance and repair; parts and expert advice for the Do-It-Yourselfer; commercial auto parts delivery; and fleet maintenance and repair to customers across the U.S.

Today, Pep Boys operates more than 8,400 service bays in over 940 locations in 35 states and Puerto Rico.
