What did pep boys do to my car?

Asked by bmwgirl329 Jan 28, 2019 at 08:28 PM about the 2006 BMW 3 Series 325xi Sedan AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I took my 2006 325xi to pep boys for a headlight bulb replacement. They put
a new bulb in and it didn't work. They said The bulb wire was melted so they
replaced it and the headlight still didn't work. Then they said that I needed a
whole new headlight but in the meantime they'll just "jump start" the
headlight with the working headlight. After they get the light on and I get my
car back I have 2 lights on my dashboard. One is the brakes and the other
one is a triangle with an exclamation point and circle around it. They said the
service manager will be in on Wednesday. But what could the problem be?

Agree with F_O_R 100%. PepBoys working on a BMW would be like Walmart doing engine overhauls. Really bad idea to take a BMW to PepBoys, I wouldn't even drive past a PepBoys in a BMW.
