They had a synthetic blend available for my 30+ year old hobby car. They provided a detailed inspection free of cost. I had an all around good service and experience.

Had routine service (oil change, tire rotation, state inspection) completed. Service was excellent. Kevin and all the guys are professional and friendly. I never feel that I am being upsold services that I don’t need. I really like the way this business operates and feel I can trust them.

Best in town for all the service. Kevin was very nice and got my repairs done in time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. Also there’s a $50 fully synthetic oil change special going on. Get it before it’s gone!

I went looking for a honest , knowledgeable mechanic to balance the front tires on my car. I left with a deeper appreciation for good honest mechanics and trust in Champion automotive mechanics. As someone who did not walk into Kevin's shop blindly. I knew exactly what I needed done. Kevin's straightforward approach was refreshing and much appreciated. Not only was Mr Kevin and his crew knowledgeable about every aspect of my car but they were kind and went above and beyond to give me white glove service if there is such a thing at a mechanic shop 😆 The shop was clean and my first visual was a sleek corvette that impressed me to say the least. A corvette on a mechanics shop floor is impressive. Long story short I've found a mechanic shop that I would trust my car with. And a group of mechanics who practice what they preach. Thanks Kevin ❤️

Kevin was extremely friendly, honest, and quick when I called to have a last minute inspection and oil change on my vehicle. He spent time kindly answering my various questions and concerns, made recommendations and informed me on some services without pressuring me into performing them on the spot. He was very professional, and the website/system they use is very efficient for reviewing the recommended services. I would definitely recommend Champion to others looking for a reliable mechanic in Durham!

Great, great, service. I was a walk in and was thankfully squeezed in. The gentleman in the waiting room had nothing but positivite things to say about Kevin and his crew. To this I agree. I felt taken care of, and communication was fantastic. I'm so thankful that I was not turned away and treated with care. Prices were fair and payment was easy. The evening pick up was just what I needed. Highly recommend stopping by!

Kevin and the team went above and beyond when I was in a difficult situation, three hours from home. I was stuck and they quickly shuffled their appointments to fit me in and get me back on the road. The level of care and willingness to help was truly exceptional. Thank you for your amazing service.

Kevin went to great lengths to document the mechanical issues the car was having. This was conveyed through a web portal and also in person at the shop. The price was very fair, he gave us all of the information and let us decide how to proceed.

Scam shop. Went in for inspection. Owner, Kevin, comes out with pics saying I need big $ maintenance. Presents like he is doing me a favor being so thorough. Total SCAM! None of those items needed repair. I did them all less than a week before. He came across as personable, caring, etc. No. He is a skilled liar and does it with a straight face.

I've gone to this shop a couple of times and each time they only recommend and fix what's actually broken without adding any additional filler fees like some other shops. They also participate in food donations and other community support. All in all great experience every time I go. They actually care about doing a good job, and about the community

My first experience: they plugged a tire and checked the others for nothing. Second experience (oil change): they checked everything, filled liquids, changed oil, and rechecked all tires. Their prices are amazing and the service is superb. I cannot recommend enough, and I’m not a person who writes many reviews.

Champion is great to work with! As a female, I felt listened to & not patronized at all. Excellent communication during the whole process. We had a challenging repair, for several reasons, & they were ready to take the challenge head on & accomplished something that probably a half dozen others couldn’t figure out!! Kudos to Champion! Will most definitely recommend & use again!!

This was my first time at Champion Tire. I needed an inspection done because I was tired of going to large chain shops that I honestly felt like were quick and convenient, but not quality. What I liked about Champion Tire on the other hand as my first time experience is that I felt like they were thorough and provided excellent quality customer service. First, I really liked the technology involved with booking with this shop. I think that the online booking feature is very easy to understand and is convenient. After my service I was also provided with a digital report that I could access to see pictures of the inside of my car. I have never been provided with this thorough of service when going to some of the large chains shops I have been to for inspections. Lastly, everyone that I interacted with was very respectful and knowledgeable. Kevin the owner was very hospitable. He will definitely have my business in the future when needed.

Really appreciate the detailed inspection process with all the photos reviewing all the major components of the car. Great customer service experience. Grateful they were able to work us in so quickly. Kevin was great. He runs an excellent business. They replaced alternator and discovered an oil leak.

Probably the most positive experience I’ve had at a garage. They were welcoming, informative/ educational, and communicative. I chose to go here for a check-up and some on-going maintenance based on the positive reviews. I’m glad I did and happily add my recommendation.

In all honesty, Champion Tire and Automotive is the best auto mechanic I have ever been to in both Virginia and North Carolina!!! Kevin and his team of mechanics are the friendliest, most transparent, and trustworthy mechanics I have met since I moved from Roanoke, VA to Durham, NC! I will be taking all of my cars from here on out to Champion Auto and Tire! The pricing on repairs is affordable and extremely reasonable. Their ability to diagnose a wide array of car problems is impressive, as well as immaculate, and their repairs are very reliable. I had two cars break on me at once and Kevin and his team got to look at and repair my cars within the same week. Words cannot describe how much I appreciate Champion Tire and Automotive and I will be recommending everybody I know to take their cars here for repairs!!!

I took my 2005 Dodge Ram to Champion Tire & Automotive and had a great experience. Kevin (the owner), Danial in the front office, and Scott one of their lead mechanics all made me feel comfortable and taken care of. I don’t know much about automotive work, but they explained everything clearly and the pricing felt fair. They even let me see what was going on in the shop, and you can tell these guys are real mechanics—not just a quick oil change spot. I’m grateful to have found a trustworthy place and this is definitely my new go-to shop.
