INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




The Administrative Committee
The Pep Boys Savings Plan
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of The Pep Boys Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of The Pep Boys Savings Plan
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1999, and
reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
information by fund in the statements of the net assets available for benefits
and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented
for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the
individual funds.  Such supplemental schedules and supplemental information by
fund are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental
schedules and supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

THE PEP BOYS SAVINGS PLAN
-------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
     basis of accounting.

     Use of Estimates
     ----------------

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
     the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
     and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from
     those estimates and assumptions.

     Investments
     -----------

     Certain investments in the Stable Value Fund (Group Annuity Contracts) and
     all of the loan fund are stated at cost plus accrued interest(see note 3).
     Investments in all other funds are stated at fair value based on quoted
     market prices as reported on the last business day of the calendar year.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
     -----------------------

     The following description of the Pep Boys Savings Plan (the "Plan"),
     provides general information only. The participant should refer to the
     Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan provisions.
     The Plan, was established on September 1, 1987.  The Plan provides a
     vehicle for participating Company employees to increase savings.  The
     Plan was structured to comply with the requirements of the Employee
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

     Participation
     -------------

     All employees of The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries (the
     "Company") who have attained both the age of 21 and completed one year of
     service as defined by the Plan, other than those employees whose terms
     and conditions of employment are determined by a collective bargaining
     agreement unless such collective bargaining agreement provides to the
     contrary, may join the Plan any time on or after the start of the quarter,
     which immediately follows the employee's anniversary date.  These quarter
     dates are January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1.

     Funding
     -------

     Contributions to the Plan are made by participants and the Company.
     Participant's contributions, made through salary reduction, may be any
     whole percentage from 1% to 12% of their compensation as defined by the
     Plan.  The Company contributes the lesser of 50% of the first 6% of the
     participant's pre-tax contributions or a maximum 3% of the participant's
     compensation.


<PAGE>8

     Participant contributions to the Plan, up to $10,000 during 1999 and up to
     $10,000 during 1998, are not subject to income tax until their withdrawal
     from the Plan.  Additionally, participants are not subject to tax on the
     Company's contributions to the Plan, appreciation in Plan assets
     or income earned thereon until withdrawn from the Plan.

     Effective January 1, 1993, company contributions are deposited in The Pep
     Boys Stock Fund.  Participants age 55 or over have the option to make an
     irrevocable election to have 100% of the Company's contribution
     transferred into any of the funds.

     Vesting
     -------

     The Plan provides that the participant's contributions are fully vested
     when made.  The Company's contribution for a particular year becomes
     vested if the participant is actively employed on December 31 of that
     year or if the participant's employment terminated due to death,
     disability or retirement prior to December 31.

     Loan Provisions
     ---------------

     Participants may borrow 50% of their account balance subject to a minimum
     of $500 and a maximum of $50,000.  The maximum duration of a loan is five
     years unless the loan is used to purchase your primary residence.  In this
     case, the loan term is permitted for up to a 30 year duration (effective
     October 1, 1998).  The interest rate is commensurate with current fixed
     rates charged by institutions in the business of lending money for similar
     types of loans.

     Plan Termination
     ----------------

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
     to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

     In the event of termination of the Plan, the interest of the
     participants or their beneficiaries will remain fully vested and not be
     subject to forfeiture in whole or in part and distributions shall be made
     to them in cash and/or stock as applicable.

     Income Tax Status
     -----------------

     The Internal Revenue Service has issued a determination letter
     (March 24, 1999) indicating that the Plan meets the requirements of
     Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
     Accordingly, the Plan's related trust is exempt from federal taxation
     under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan Committee believes that the
     Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income
     taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.


<PAGE>9

     Administration
     --------------

     All costs associated with administering the Plan are borne by the
     Company. The Plan is administered by a Plan Committee of three employees
     of the Company.  At December 31, 1999, the members of the Plan Committee
     and their positions with the Company were:

         George Babich             Senior Vice President and
                                   Chief Financial Officer

         Fred Stampone             Senior Vice President & Secretary

         Bernard K. McElroy        Vice President - Finance &
                                   Treasurer

     At December 31, 1999, the Plan trustee was:

         American Express Trust Company

     Effective October 1, 1998, the trust agreement was modified to
     substitute the above institution as the sole trustee of the plan.

     Under the provisions of ERISA, all of the above are "parties-in-interest."


3.   INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
     -------------------

     Participant contributions - Beginning October 1, 1998, each participant,
     through an interactive voice response system, may direct that his/her
     contributions be invested in one or more of the following investment
     programs in increments of 1%.  Prior to that date, the participant was
     limited to selecting a contribution distribution in increments of 10%
     only during initial enrollment or a re-enrollment period.

     STABLE VALUE FUND
     -----------------

     From Plan inception through September 30, 1998, the Stable Value Fund has
     invested in several fully benefit-responsive Group Annuity Contracts
     issued by insurance companies. The contracts seek to provide a fixed rate
     of interest for a specific period of time.  These investments contractually
     stipulate a rate of return and do not guarantee a return of principal.
     Contributions through September 30, 1998 to the Stable Value Fund
     were invested with Invesco Trust Company ("ITC").  The ITC - Stable Value
     Fund invests primarily in fully benefit-responsive general insurance
     contracts, insurance company separate account products, and synthetic
     products.  The Fund seeks to provide a positive consistent return over time
     while preserving principal, however, the Fund does not guarantee interest
     or a return of principal.  Effective July 1, 1992, participants'
     contributions to this fund are invested in a blended fund comprised of
     various Group Annuity Contracts and the ITC - Stable Value Fund.
     Individual participants receive a blended rate of interest based upon the
     overall rate of return.
        As of October 1, 1998, the Stable Value Fund transferred the proceeds of
     all matured Group Annuity Contracts to the AMEX Trust Stable Value Fund II.
     The AMEX Trust Stable Value Fund II is designed to provide the lowest risk
     of all seven investment funds. This fund's goal is to preserve principal
     and income while maximizing current income. To meet this goal, the fund
     invests primarily in stable value contracts, as well as short-term
     investments and the American Express Trust Stable Value Fund I (a stable
     value pooled fund).  The remaining Group Annuity Contracts will be
     converted to the American Express Trust Stable Value Fund II as the
     contracts come to maturity.

     INDEX EQUITY FUND
     -----------------

        The Index Equity Fund was invested in the Vanguard Index Trust
     through September 30, 1998.  The Vanguard Index Trust seeks to
     provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield
     performance of publicly traded common stocks in the aggregate.  The
     Vanguard Index Trust uses the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
     Index as the standard comparison and attempts to duplicate the capital
     growth and dividend income of that Index.
        As of October 1, 1998, investments in the Index Equity Fund were
     converted from the Vanguard Index Trust to the AMEX Trust Equity Index II
     Fund.  The AMEX Trust Equity Index II Fund seeks to achieve a rate of
     return as close as possible to the return of the Standard & Poor's 500
     Stock Index (S&P 500). To mirror this return, the fund invests primarily
     in some or all of the securities that make up the S&P 500. Because the S&P
     500 contains many large, well-established companies, representing most
     major industries, this type of fund is less volatile than a growth fund
     like the IDS Small Company Index Fund or Templeton Foreign Stock Fund.

     THE PEP BOYS STOCK FUND
     -----------------------

        The Pep Boys-Manny Moe & Jack Common Stock Fund is invested primarily in
     the Pep Boys-Manny, Moe & Jack Common Stock. This fund gives the
     participant the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the
     Company. The value of the amounts invested in this fund will depend on the
     price of the stock at any given time and will tend to be more volatile.

<PAGE>10

     INVESCO TOTAL RETURN FUND
     -----------------------------------------
         Through September 30, 1998, the Balanced Fund was managed by SSGA Funds
     in Boston, Massachusetts, and invested 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds.
     SSGA S&P 500 Index Fund seeks to duplicate the capital growth and dividend
     income of the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.  The
     SSGA Intermediate Bond Market Fund is intended to perform similar to the
     Lehman Brothers Intermediate Bond Index.
        On October 1, 1998, investments in the Balanced Fund were converted from
     the SSGA Funds to the Invesco Total Return Fund.  The Invesco Total Return
     Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital, as well as current
     income. To meet this objective, the fund invests in common stocks of
     companies generally listed on major exchanges.  Although the fund manager
     looks for stocks that perform well over a variety of market cycles, the
     value of the contributions to the plan may go up or down as stock market
     values change.

     THE AXP BOND FUND
     -----------------

        As of October 1, 1998, the Pep Boys Savings Plan added the AXP Bond
     Fund to the investment programs available to eligible participants. The
     AXP Bond Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality
     corporate bonds.  To increase its return, the fund may also invest in
     lower-quality bonds and foreign bonds. The primary goal of this fund is to
     earn a high level of interest income; a secondary consideration is
     long-term bond appreciation. This fund offers low to moderate risk and
     moderate returns.

     THE AXP SMALL COMPANY INDEX FUND
     --------------------------------

        As of October 1, 1998, the Pep Boys Savings Plan added the AXP Small
     Company Index Fund to the investment programs available to eligible
     participants.  The AXP Small Company Index Fund attempts to mirror the
     return of the Standard & Poor's Small Capitalization Stock Index (S&P
     SmallCap 600). To achieve this, the fund invests primarily in some or all
     of the securities that make up the S&P 600.  Because this fund invests in
     stocks of small companies, it is generally one of the most volatile of the
     Plan's funds.  At the same time, the potential for growth over the long
     term is one of the highest.

     THE TEMPLETON FOREIGN STOCK FUND
     --------------------------------

        As of October 1, 1998, the Pep Boys Savings Plan added the Templeton
     Foreign Stock Fund to the investment programs available to eligible
     participants.  The Templeton Foreign Stock Fund seeks long-term capital
     growth. To achieve this goal, the fund invests primarily in stocks and debt
     obligations of companies and governments outside the United States. Because
     this fund invests in foreign companies, it is one of the most volatile of
     the Plan's funds. However, it should normally have higher returns over
     longer periods of time.

     THE LOAN FUND
     -------------

        The Loan Fund is the cumulative balance of all employee loans
     outstanding.  This fund is not a fund available to participants for
     investing purposes, but instead is a result of a participant utilizing the
     loan provision previously defined an earlier section.  The interest rate is
     commensurate with current fixed rates charged by institutions in the
     business of lending money for similar types of loans.
