If you use Mobil One oil synthetic or regular, got a great deal going on i'd highly recommend


Basically:
Drop by your Pep Boys and Mobil 1 should/is on sale for $3.99
i.e. reg. $4.99 for Super Syn

There is/should be this Calendar that just came out. For $1 dollar, buy it…there’s a coupon where if you Buy 3 Mobil One, you Get three free!


Also, the Calendar has coupons for (3) free stuff along w/a lot of other discount offers


I got 6 quarts of mobil 1 for my evo (only payed for 3), rainX car wash/was (free), eagle wax as you dry (free), cheveron techron (free).

45 dollars worth of stuff for only 12 dollars.

Yes Pep Boys at the counter. I thought the real deal was the Mobil1 oil. But the real deal is the free wax, car wash, and techron. It was misprinted, and supposed to say buy 1 get 1 free. Instead of just free. So that itself pays for itself and more.

Yes, and yes. Most of the high-end European manufacturers recommend using Techron with their vehicles. Chevron, the company who invented it puts it into their gas sold at the pump, so any time you fill with Chevron you are getting the Techron additive.

Really? The ones near me have TONS of the 10w-30. It's been hard to find the 15w-50 that I use.

i found out last night if you bring up "the calendars are for charity and the proceeds go to a good cause" the managers are a lot more easy going with letting you buy 5 cases of oil at half price.

especially if there are people behind you in line and you said it loud enough.

do u guys get taxed on the free stuff such as the wax n the techron?
i went to a pepboys in pasadena n i got taxed for free stuff but another pepboys i go to did not

The checkout lady at lake forest would not let me use the coupon on 10w-30. The fine print has the SKU for 15W-50 or something. Has this been a problem anywhere else?

gshock
11-09-2004, 10:05 PM
no . i brought 5-30 10-30 and 15-50 with no problems


and i saw a black evo on the parking lot of pepboys at rosemead and broadway!

i think he is going the same rule!

Looks like the store managers are networking and limiting this to only one per person per day. Also, the calendars are one per person per day as well at many stores. You may be able to find a store to buy multiples from (of product/calendars) but this is dwindling. If you've got the calendars already you're golden, it's just going to take a lot more trips.

They are definately hating at some stores.....

I almost got into a fist fight with the manager at the local store....pussy.....

They said it was 1 calender per person forever as in they were going to remember who has bought them or something....they were major pricks....stupid cashier called the manager crying that it was my second calender......WTF......I got 1 4 days ago and now im getting another 1

Then the manager refused to sell to me and said he was calling the cops....LOLOLOLOL.........I told the f***ing dick to bring it on ,I would wait for them and that he would have 2 remove me from the store....I wasnt leaving.......After talking shit to his face for ten minutes he decided I could by 1 calender......F***ing b**ches......

i think its time to call the department of weights and measures.
they cant just make up new rules if its not written on the coupon.

A lot of stores around here are all out. Artesia and La mirada are out. Anaheim had a whole bunch, only out of techron. However, stupid manager also said one person per day. Anyone know a place that has no limits? Doesn't really matter if they dont have any oil in stock as they get shipments in all the time.

Heh, no wonder why Pep Boys managers are so grumpy recently:
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack, which
sells auto parts and services vehicles, said third-quarter profit
dropped 48 percent.
Net income fell to $7.65 million, or 13 cents a share, in
the quarter ended Oct. 30 from $14.7 million, or 26 cents, a year
earlier, the Philadelphia-based company said in a release
distributed by Business Wire. Sales increased 4 percent to $559.2
million from $537.7 million.

This got posted on FatWallet a day or two ago. I overheard a store manager today telling the checkout person that the regional Vice President e-mailed all the stores and told them to limit it to one per person per day. Interpretations may vary (some stores wouldn't even validate different product coupons on the same day, like 1 oil, 1 car wash). The calendars that most stores are selling now have stickers placed on them which change the free coupons to "buy 1 get 1 free" but the oil coupon seems to be unchanged (although one store tried to tell me it was buy 3 get 1 free).

The normal sale price already on mobil1 @ $4.00 will be ending today, so it will go back up to $5.00/quart after today supposedly. Bastards, I wanted more oil :(

UPDATE: Seems upper management has caught on to the Free Items and have amended the coupons to be applied as "BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE" Party is over, but still sort of a good deal, but getting it for practically free was a no brainer. Seems the memo has been distributed to all the stores, but who knows, YMMV.
