Last Updated: November 19, 2025By

Pep Boys has announced a significant addition to its leadership team, naming Chris Magana as Senior Vice President of Commercial. This move signals the company’s continued investment in expanding and elevating its commercial service offerings for fleets across the country.

Magana joins Pep Boys with more than 30 years of experience in the automotive industry, bringing a deep background in sales growth, customer partnership development, and large-scale business transformation. He previously served as Vice President of North America Consumer Sales at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, where he led teams across retail, wholesale distribution, and original equipment partnerships with major automotive manufacturers. His extensive leadership experience positions him well to guide Pep Boys’ commercial strategy and execution going forward.

Pep Boys CEO Joe Auriemma emphasized Magana’s strong track record in tire and automotive sales, noting that his ability to build high-performing teams and align closely with customer needs makes him an ideal fit for the company’s commercial division. As fleets navigate increasing demands for uptime, efficiency, and reliable service partners, Magana’s appointment reflects Pep Boys’ commitment to strengthening its capabilities in support of business customers.

This leadership expansion comes at a time when Pep Boys continues to invest heavily in its commercial operations. With over 800 service locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico and a team that includes many ASE-certified technicians, Pep Boys provides maintenance and repair solutions for both individual drivers and fleet operators. The company’s century-long history—rooted in the values of trust, safety, and service—continues to guide its mission of keeping people and businesses moving.

As Pep Boys looks to its next phase of growth, Magana’s leadership will play a key role in enhancing the company’s position as a trusted, scalable, and service-focused partner for commercial fleets.
