statements and (iv) comfort letters, statutory and regulatory audits, consents and other services related to SEC
matters.
Audit-Related Fees. Audit-Related Fees billed in fiscal 2013 were for the use of Deloitte’s proprietary accounting
research tool and for fiscal 2012 were for services provided in connection with our proposed go-private transaction
and term loan refinancing and the use of Deloitte’s proprietary accounting research tool.
Tax Fees. Tax Fees billed in fiscal 2013 and 2012 were for tax compliance services in connection with tax audits
and appeals.
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 2013, 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 was compatible with maintaining
Deloitte & Touche LLP’s independence.
