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 2008, 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 the independence of independent registered public accounting
firms 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.
