A properly maintained air conditioning system can help keep you comfortable on hot summer days. Did you know that a properly functioning A/C system is also instrumental in helping to defrost your windshield on those cold, damp winter days as well? A properly functioning A/C system helps to dehumidify the air passing through the defrosting system enabling your windows to quickly clear and stay fog free.

Just wanted to thank the wonderful Guys at Durham tire & Auto. I was at Duke Cancer center with my wife and I had a screw in the side wall of my car. I called the guys at the shop and told them about my situation. The Gentleman ask me if I could get my car there and I said yes. Told him. The size of the tire and he didn't have it there but told me he would get it there. 2 hrs later he called me and said bring it over. From the first word he proved why his company was the best. Long story short he replaced my tire checked my brakes and gave me a great price on a new set of tires and I was 3 hrs

This place is my savior. I am an out of state patient at Duke Transplant Center, and I had a flat in the parking garage. I called Andrew just as they were closing, and he told he to come on over. These wonderful guys stayed after hours to help me out of a real bind. I cannot express my gratitude enough, and I am so thankful that there are still good people in this world.

Very good experience. In today's time it is hard to expect good service but I was pleasantly surprised today. Did all the work I asked for plus a little more I didn't expect. I had been meaning to top off the washer fluid and they did it without asking. Bad lug nuts on my car and they replaced them. Great Job and I would recommend this shop to anyone. My visit to this shop was a pleasant experience. I will be back.

I went to Durham tire and auto center pros last week to get work done on my car. Not one of the 5+ employees there was wearing a mask inside the building. There was no social distancing going on.
I wore a mask because I know that wearing a masks reduces the chances that someone gets the virus from me, but if they don't wear a mask I am not nearly as protected. Shocked and disappointed that they could be so cavalier and have such little regard for their own customers' lives and safety.
I will not be going back and I suggest that you consider they have very little regard for their customers

Almost destroyed my engine. I had a routine oil change at this location that led to a hazardous, dangerous oil leak in my Audi while I was driving to another town. I then took the car to the closest shop and the manager of the new shop said that whoever worked on the car last, i.e., Durham Tire Pros, damaged my oil pan by a cross-threaded plug. I had to get an emergency oil change in a random town. Called and spoke to manager, Jeff, who was quick to respond with that they "don't even touch the oil pan" during the oil changes. I am not a mechanic, but sounds like Jeff is willing to

This was my first time coming here for an inspection and I was blown away by how efficient and quick they were. For car service appointments, I prepare for the long haul - armed with coffee, a breakfast pastry, a fully charged phone, and a book. I had only taken a couple bites of my breakfast when they were done with my car! The line was 5 deep when I arrived, but the employees were friendly, professional, and gave each customer their full attention. Bright, clean waiting space + in and out in 30 minutes. Will certainly return for future service needs.

I had been going to Durham Tire for many years with many different vehicles and mixed results, mostly for convenience. I recently got a flat and bought a pair of replacements, which was fine, but then got a call saying they did a 24-point inspection (a new "service" they do automatically without permission) and claimed about $500 dollars worth of various system flushes and filters needed doing. They also said the cabin air filter was filthy. I told them to forget everything but the the cabin filter. When I got the bill, the cabin filter cost over $100. I complained and they knocked it

So much for honest mechanics. I brought my car here again a few weeks after leaving this review. Again, they said nothing was wrong. I repeatedly said it sounded like the brakes were going out. He said they heard a noise but it wasn't something I should worry about, that they had two people drive it. I drove it for another month, the noise continued and I brought it in again. They said the brakes were shot, the calibers and rotors too. $700 to fix all that on the front brakes only. I repeatedly asked them if the issue was because I drove them too long while wearing out and damaged them more

I started going to Durham Tire after a terrible situation with a tire place down the road. It was late in the day. These men were awesome, I bought tires and they didn't mind checking the date on the tires BEFORE installing them. Another time, I had my car towed to them and told them what I thought was wrong, they said, no not that, and my car was ready. They could have done the work for several hundred and not told me, instead, it was the battery....Great people, honest, I only go to them.

This place is a RIP. It is run by criminals!!!
I went in to get a tire patched. My car was riding rough. I picked it up and paid $25. Then, the next day, it still rode rough. I took it back in and they looked at it and said the tire had the steel belting loose. I asked why didn't they tell me that before patching the tire? They shrugged and said it would be $187 to get two new tires, balancing, etc. A week later, still riding rough. I took it in and they said because the tires weren't balanced. It would cost to get them balanced.
I took my car elsewhere and will never, ever

Honest mechanics! Seriously! It's almost oxymoronic but it's true!
I had a terrible experience with another mechanic in town. I called Jeff at Durham Tire, and he was so helpful. They gave me a second opinion and literally saved me thousands of dollars. They explained everything in language I could understand, and I felt comfortable asking whatever questions I had. Given my previous experiences, I won't go anywhere else now. I highly recommend them!
