BEWARE!!! This shop did an inspection on my '97 Honda Civic back in 2006, they told me I needed over $800 in repairs. I came back and asked a different mechanic what I really needed in order to pass inspection and the price dropped to $250. They're dishonest and overpriced, I won't ever go back to any Chapel Hill Tire. BEWARE you never know which mechanic to trust!! I tried one other Chapel Hill Tire on a recommendation and had one good experience, then found a muffler at a nearby shop for 1/3 the price.

Dishonest. My college student daughter took her car in because the diagnostic light went on. They told her she needed emergency repairs that would cost around $800. She drove the car home and took it to our dealer, and they said nothing was wrong that a tire rotation and oil/filter change wouldn’t fix. $35 later, the car runs fine. Don’t take your car here, especially if you’re young and female.

The people at this place seem very dishonest. They are very friendly and nice, but I think that's just to distract you while they figure out how to get your money. I took my car in for the NC state inspection and it failed. So, then they got a bunch of money out of me to run a diagnostics test, then told me that I need to pay a few hundred in repairs*. Well, I picked up my car and took it to another station, and it passed without any problems. The folks at the second station told me that there's no way the code would have co... read more

Great Service – We brought our 05 Prius in with a check engine light on and car would not drive. Chapel Hill Tire in Carrboro was able to diagnose the vehicle and repair it in a timely manner and was cheaper then the dealer on a Hybrid battery replacement. I would recommend Chapel Hill Tire to all my friends.

Best Automotive Repair Shop in town! – I recommend Chapel Hill Tire Car Care Center to anyone who wants their vehicle repaired properly and wants to be treated like family. I can count on these guys to keep me running safely down the road. The counter staff is very professional and caring! I love these guys so much that I occasionally cook them sweets just to show my appreciation. Highly recommend!!

Not young, not gorgeous, not rich – I'm not a young, gorgeous, or rich woman, so I was real surprised to hear things like, "Come right now"; "I can check this for you too"; "Make yourself comfortable"; "Please come back"..... Say what??? The repair I needed was quick and reasonably priced. Although I waited for my vehicle, I was delighted also to learn their courtesy van not only takes you home for free but brings you back for free too. Bottom line : I recommend Carrboro's Chapel Tire without reservation - even if they are b... read more

They cost me $2000. – I had these guys check over my used car before I bought it. They managed to miss the warning signs of a head gasket leak...this is a $2000 repair on a Subaru and one of the most common things to go wrong with this type of car. I assumed that they would know this since Subarus aren't exactly uncommon in Carrboro. Four months into my Subi ownership, their estimate for fixing the head gaskets alone was the same as getting the timing belt and the head gaskets fixed at AutoLogic across the street.

Watch out! – I went to the Cole Park location for a dashboard warning light issue. I agreed to the diagnostic fee but knew in advance it would be the alternator from symptoms. 4 hours later (with an appointment!) I was told my 2 year old battery was shot and I needed a new drive belt (3 months old) and possibly a new alternator. I knew I was being taken for the battery and belt so I requested an estimate for the alternator only which turned out to be 1.5 to 2X higher than the estimate I got later from the shop where I had th... read more
