The Audit Committee annually engages Pep Boys’ independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approves, for
the following fiscal year, their services related to the annual audit and interim quarterly reviews of Pep Boys’ financial
statements and all reasonably related assurance and services. All non-audit services are considered for approval by the Audit
Committee on an as-requested basis by Pep Boys. For fiscal 2005, the Audit Committee discussed the non-audit services with
Deloitte & Touche LLP and management to determine that they were permitted under the rules and regulations concerning
auditor independence promulgated by the SEC and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Following such
discussions, the Audit Committee determined that the provision of such non-audit services by Deloitte & Touche LLP was
compatible with maintaining their independence.
