Store #6802 on the Point Loma peninsula operates inside the Navy Exchange complex on Nimitz Boulevard near Fort Rosecrans, making this Pep Boys the only full-service tire and repair center embedded within a military retail installation in San Diego. Oil changes, brake-pad replacements, and battery diagnostics follow standard Pep Boys protocols, but the NEX partnership extends tax-exempt purchasing to active-duty, reserve, and retired service members—a military-specific benefit unavailable at civilian-side shops like Smog Oasis on Rosecrans Street. Pep Boys, founded in Philadelphia in 1921, merged into the Icahn Automotive Group in 2017 and now operates 900-plus service centers and NEXCOM-partnered military locations nationwide. Pirelli, Cooper, and Firestone tire inventory covers passenger, light-truck, and SUV fitments, with mounting, balancing, and rotation completed on the same visit. OEM-equivalent brake pads, rotors, and suspension bushings for European makes including Volkswagen, BMW, and Audi fill the parts pipeline, a marque-specific stock that complements the diagnostic expertise at Dieter's European Auto Repair farther up the peninsula. Full transmission-fluid exchanges and torque-converter flushes on high-mileage trucks represent the shop's most labor-intensive service, requiring 12–16 quarts of ATF and a multi-cycle flush to clear degraded fluid from the cooler lines.
