Chapel Hill Tire at University Mall, I have found, is the best place in the area to have your vehicle serviced. I have lived in Chapel Hill for a number of years and have tried a variety of places, this one being the top of my list. As a single woman, sometimes going to a mechanic can be frustrating because you never know if you are being manipulated. Chapel Hill Tire - University Mall has always treated me with the utmost respect and kindness and has never made me feel as if I were being taken advantage of because I am female. Their prices seem to be extremely reasonable and much lower than their competitors in the area, even other Chapel Hill Tires. It's always a good idea to take your car in early if you don't want to wait, because they do seem to get very busy. On one occasion, though, when I couldn't wait, they actually took me where I needed to go and then came back and picked me up when my car was ready. Now that's what I call service!!

I'm a longtime customer of Al's Garage, but two experiences lately lead me to write this review. They did a routine service on my '97 Nissan pickup, and it now runs like a top. I was frankly surprised at the improvement. Just this week, they did a standard brake service on my '02 Honda Accord. The brakes on this car had always bugged me since it was new because they pulsed slightly. After replacement at Al's (the first service I had had on the brakes since buying the car), the brakes no longer pulse.
It's remarkable that in all the years I've been going there, I've never had to go back to complain about something not done well. When it's fixed there, you can count on it.
This from a Chapel Hill resident of forty-some years.

I love to friendly employees and the cheerful atmosphere. They also have done a very good job keeping my SUV running top notch. I love the reminders they send in the mail and most have $5.00 off coupon with it. Shuttle van is a life saver.

We recently bought a station wagon from volvo and had a good experience. They gave us all the discounts and incentives that were coming to us (AAA, UNC) without any hastle and we ended up buying our car in just a couple of days. Since then we've had a couple of dealings with the service people (my check engine light came on) and they were responsive and overall nice guys. As far as car buying goes, I'd recommend them; plus we really like the car.
Pros: nice guys, good location, easy negotiations

I was recommended Brown's by a friend and I would now recommend them to another. Friendly, patient, and they charged less for my timing belt replacement than a lot of other places would.
Pros: they give a fair deal and seem honest and personable

The guys at Chapel Hill Tire Company will tell you exactly what you need without trying to add on useless extras. They are honest and will look out for your wallet. I have taken my vehicles in to them several times, from oil changes to inspections to maintenance, and they have always been so professional. They are also good at having the car ready when they say it will be.

More
5 months ago the transmission in my 1993 Ford Ranger went out on me. When this happened I was stranded on the side of I-40 and called them because they were a business close to my house.
The next day I was called and told that it was my clutch that was out and the repair would be about $900.00. After some debate I decided to go ahead with the repair as this was my only vehicle. I called and gave Barnes the go ahead to replace the clutch. The next day, after tearing apart the clutch, they called to inform me that it was also my transmission that needed to be replaced and now it was going to cost $2200.00.
After expressing my shock and disappointment, as well as the financial burden this now created, they offered to find a "buyer" for the truck. I was already into them for towing and tearing apart my truck so after those charges were settled I stood to gain nothing if I allowed them to "sell" it.
I decided to fix the truck and started saving my money. I again gave Barnes the go ahead to fix the transmission. A few days later they called and said they had found me a used transmission with only 19,000 miles. It sounded like good news-boy was I wrong.
Finally the time came to reclaim my vehicle. When I got there and paid my bill I asked was there anything I needed to know. They said no and handed me my keys. Imagine my surprise when I started my truck and it sounded like a race car. When I asked about this new development I was rudely told that the exhaust was rusty and they knocked it loose while working on the tranny. What's worse is they said they couldn't or wouldn't fix it. WHAT?!? They admitted breaking it but because it had some rust it was my problem. I swallowed my anger and left. I drove the 5 miles home and parked. 30 minutes later when I went to drive to the store I could not engage the transmission at all without turning off the engine. I immediately returned to Barnes where they "adjusted" the clutch and told me it would need to be driven a few days to bleed the clutch. Drive it and bring it back if it doesn't get better. It didn't. Again to Barnes only to be told it still needed to be driven to bleed the clutch the rest of the way. "Sometimes it takes several hundred miles" I was told.
Finally, after getting the exhaust fixed at my expense, and after several return trips to Barnes I was told that my original repair didn't include a clutch master cylinder and if that was replaced my shifting problems would subside. Guess what, that did take care of the shifting problem, unfortunately now I have a leak somewhere in the transmission. I noticed it the very same day I picked up my truck after the master cylinder was installed and returned to have it repaired. First I was told it was an oil leak. I knew this was not the case because I was not losing oil and oil is not red like transmission fluid. They tightened a few bolts and sent me on my way. When I got home I put a container under the transmission to verify the leak had stopped. It hadn't. I left the truck parked for the weekend and went back on Monday to show them the evidence of the leak. They agreed that it was leaking and to bring it back when I could leave it for the day. I took it last Thursday 2/8. They kept the truck all day and when I picked it up they said they had tightened a few more bolts on top of the transmission and were sure the leak had stopped. Friday morning more evidence of the leak appeared. Back to Barnes only to be told the owner was out of town for the weekend and he would call me on Monday. Monday came and went. Today, Tuesday, I finally called them. I got the owner, Jaffe, on the phone. He told me "he was going to go home and think about it last night" but forgot. He then had the audacity to say "I'll fix it but not for free."
Looks like court for him and me.
DON'T DO IT!

I purchased my car from this place. But, I don't want to comment on the Sales Department. What I would like to comment on is there Service Department. 9/10 times they answer the phone promptly. And 10/10 times the service they performed on my car is top notch. One time my car was making a weird noise and they even diagnosed it for free. Then they called me to tell me what the problem was and let me know exactly what the problems were before doing anything. Great Service Department! They are rated by Subaru as a "Stellar Performer".

I was recommended to Kenny at Martin's Automotive by 2 separate garages that don't work on Jeeps. Kenny did a great job of fixing my water pump (and a few other items) in a timely manner and for a very fair price. My Jeep hasn't run this smooth for years! I'm going back to get my brakes done soon. Thanks Kenny!
Pros: Fast, friendly, fair
