I think Pep >Boys will be in business next week, but I'm not sure about the cigar smoker. Interesting. I tend to think of Pep Boys as in a class with Kragen, Grand Auto, Checker, Scherba's, etc., and I tend to think of those guys as mass merchandisers who buy based on low-bid contracts. Ergo, I would expect that their rebuilts would have the very minimum replaced. It is interesting to see that they include a document that details all the work that's been done. >Also, Pep Boys took my Lucas alternator as a core, although I don't think they >knew they were not getting the same alternator back as I was buying. I suspect that the rebuilder would rather have the Lucas core. GM cores are easy to come by. The Lucas would probably cost more and be harder for them to find. Follow-Ups:
