They used their scan tool and cleared a few codes, and then it started. They didn't feel they did any actual work, so didn't charge me a cent! They even drove me home when I dropped it off, and picked me up to go back and get the car later that afternoon.
Description of Work: My wife's Jaguar S-type wouldn't start. No idea why -- we had just driven it the day before. Had it towed to Chapel Hill Tire for diagnosis and repair.

It's easy to get in and the people are nice, and it's close. There's a little waiting room. They had to do one thing twice because it didn't work the first time.

Chapel Hill Tire estimated $1769 to replace the power steering fluid pump and hoses in a 1998 Dodge Caravan. We took it to Charlie's Transmission in Durham, and had the same repairs done for $500.

Thank you for the feedback. Please contact us and we'll gladly explain the differences. It's not possible that we are recommending the same things given the price differences. Our work is backed by a "best in the Triangle" 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. We will gladly compare the two estimates and explain how and why we are different.

It went fine. I had made an appointment, and the service was provided promptly. The crew was professional and knowledgeable about what was needed, answering all my questions and pointing out how to prevent the wear patterns on the old tires. Comfortable waiting area, lots of parking, walking distance to major shopping mall so trip can be combined with other needs.
Description of Work: Installed quality automobile tires of my choice on my Honda Odyssey, balanced tires, checked suspension and alignment, disposed of worn tires, put the best of the old tires as spare.

I went to get a quote on getting 4 new tires for my Dodge Grand Caravan. I went in, was greeted nicely and the gentlemen came out looked at my tires and provided me two quotes. One for Michelin Tires that I currently had on my van quote came in at almost $1100 for 4 tires. Then for Uniroyal Paw Touring tire that came in almost $1000. I had already received quotes from two other providers and both of these came in $400-$500 MORE. Check around when getting tires and do not always go with the most convenient. I got the same set of tires installed elsewhere for $534.00 for the Uniroyal tires.
Description of Work: Quoted me on two sets of tires.

Thank you for the review. Next time you need some tires, please check back with us. We've reached a new agreement with Michelin on their pricing and we are now competitive with Costco and Discount Tire. Actually, we find that our tire prices usually beat there's.

I have been taking my car to Chapel Hill Tire Company for years, and I have always found them honest and professional before my most recent experience. A few months ago my wife was involved in a collision which required mechanical work, and we decided to use Chapel Hill Tire. When it came time to make an insurance claim on the work, we were informed by the insurance company of 2 issues caused by the work of Chapel Hill Tire: 1) they did not wait for authorization by the insurance adjuster before performing the work 2) they charged us for what the insurance company considered to be an excessive amount of labor costs, and for which we were not compensated by the insurers.The insurance company implied that Chapel Hill Tire was attempting to gouge the insurer by claiming unreasonable labor charges, and we were forced to pay this cost out-of-pocket. When we later took the car to the body shop, we were told by the proprietors that all mechanics should know to obtain pre-authorization before performing work, and not to do so was irresponsible, if not outright duplicitous, Furthermore, when we later took the car to the dealership for routine maintenance, we happened to show the dealers the receipt from Chapel Hill Tire related to the collision. The dealer said that Chapel Hill Tire had, in addition to performing the collision repair, performed routine maintenance that had nothing to do with the collision. But, this maintenance was performed months earlier than required. We were under the impression that all of the work performed was in relation to the collision, and by performing and charging us for work which we had not asked for, we felt cheated for the second time.

These guys used to be the best. Some people died/retired/moved-on and needless to say, I no longer go there. Overpriced, rude, and unable to fix simple problems (i.e. a fan belt and tensioner done twice in one year). I no longer take my car to them EVEN for inspection (did so for 10 years).
Description of Work: replace a tensioner and belt that had previously been replaced.

Had something burst under the hood near their shop at the end of the day. Stopped in and asked them to check it out. The next morning I got a call to say my water pump was bad. They quoted me a price that was much higher than the average on repairpal.com. I called another well-regarded local shop. Their quote was essentially half that of CHT. Buyer beware...
Description of Work: Charged me $120+ for diagnostics.

Monday drove truck to shop first thing in morning as it was stalling while driving. That afternoon we were informed we needed a new Fuel Pump Assembly and they could have done by next afternoon. Retrieved truck on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday morning drove truck and on second time start up it kept stalling and wouldn't restart. Had to have truck towed to repair shop. Later that afternoon we receive call and we were told apparently their was a and quot;loose connectionand quot;. Good thing we have AAA and the towing was covered. They never even asked if they needed to cover the towing bill or maybe offer a free oil change as obviously this loose connection was due to installation error. Next day.. I am driving vehicle and parked in grocery store parking lot.. a person walks out and points out that under the truck a hose is hanging down touching the ground. Since I was literally across the street from shop I drove it over. Now, it was 3:30 p.m. and yes, they close @5:00 p.m. However, I felt they should be able to look at this due to the earlier situations from the week. The service representative clearly didn't agree with me. So I wait 45 mins.. and she brings me my key and says and quot;oh it was a exhaust hose that was probably knocked loose or the clamp broken during the install of the pump.and quot; Good thing it wasn't anything dangerous.

Description of Work: I was concerned about my tires and decided to try Chapel Hill Tire Co. because of convenient location and availability of Saturday hours. They looked at my tires and said that it was about time to replace them; and they agreed to order the size tires I needed and put them on for me the following Saturday morning. My only regret is that I did not push / ask, and they did not offer, an opportunity to consider a less expense tire. I asked for Michelin, but I'm sure there are multiple Michelin tires and I ended up with a very expensive set of tires that will last much longer than I expect to have the car. (My husband was not happy when he saw what I had paid ...)

I had an excellent experience with them. They were very kind and didn't charge me anything. They tightened the valve at no charge. They close for lunch which is a little unusual to me. It's a little inconvenient as well. They give their boys an hour for lunch as apposed to staggering their time. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Chapel Hill Tire Co about 3 weeks ago. I thought that I had a flat tire and a leak and it turned out that the valve had to be tightened.

Very reasonable price. Excellent service and explanation.
