Yeah. As previously said above in number 13, that’s apples and oranges. AutoZone doesn’t provide service. They sell parts. But they don’t put your brake pads on your car. A bike shop provides parts and service. They will put brake pads on your bike. So they have no incentive to let you use their tools.
Looking at Pep Boys website, they also seem to have a loaner tool program. Customers basically buy the tool from their "loaner program" and have 5 days to use it and return it, receiving a full refund. If they don't return it, they own it.
