This company is always fair. I never feel that I’m being upsold anything. At time they have accommodated difficult emergencies I’ve had because of car failure. I feel like they are on my side.

I went to change oil, but they checked the battery and brake for free, appreciated the extra work they did 👍

Took it in for bad wheel bearing, ended up needing new rear brakes and rotors. All general stuff, considering my car is 8 years old, has 100k and Ive never had to replace anything. They were polite and professional. Had my car fixed and ready same day. Would definitely do business with them again.

I would highly recommend Tri City! I ran over a few nails and it can be really challenging to find time to get car work done with my busy work/life schedule. But Tri City made it so easy as I dropped off my flat and they put it on later during my lunch - so efficient and also so friendly and professional! I would definitely use them again.

I have used Tri-City several times to replace the hybrid battery in my car. They have also handled my AC leaks. Every time, they offer me a loan car for my convenience with impeccable professionalism. I never fear that I am being fed a line for repairs that aren’t necessary. It’s the only mechanic I trust.

Review №14

Id been going to Tri-City for routine maintenance and was happy with the service, but the other day when my car broke down unexpectedly is when their excellent customer service really shined through! Jennifer had an immediate plan to get my car to the shop, me in a nice loaner so I was only an hour late to work, and a diagnosis before lunch. She kept me updated every step of the way to help relieve my anxiety. Likewise, Tom was professional and emmpathetic to what was a unexpected expense at an inopportune time. No high pressure, just honest answers and detailed choices. I honestly felt like it was my extended family helping me out (my extended family does own a repair shop out of state) and it was very reassuring to know I could put my full trust into this team of experts. Thank yall for getting me back on the road so quickly!

I’ve been a customer for almost 5 years and I love the service! I’m working on a small budget with an old car, and they always work with me to prioritize repairs and get the most affordable/used parts to keep me going. I love the ability to borrow a car, really makes going to the mechanic functional for me. I never feel like they are taking advantage of me, and I trust their opinions. The team is friendly and quick to complete repairs. The additional discount for duke employees really helps! Love them!

Broke down on the highway on our way home from a trip at night. Got it towed here and they called right away in the am to let me know what was wrong and some options to fix it. It was the alternator and they gave me a fair price, had it fixed well before noon! Even gave us 3 coupons to use if we ever needed another tow, gas brought to us or anything! $100 off each. Never got anything like that from anywhere else before! Thank you!

Review №21

I have been using tri city auto for the past few years. Just recently they also did the inspection on my Ford f 250. The service has always been outstanding. I am confident that everytime I bring my vehicle in for service I will receive an honest, good faith estimate and diagnosis of my vehicles issues. We all hate surprises when we take our cars in for service...but sometimes they happen. You think an issue is gonna cost a couple hundred bucks and it turns out being something more and costing triple. The last thing you want to feel is that you are being taken advantage of, overcharged, or having needless repairs being done. Tri City has always treated me well and been honest about necessary repairs and service. I know this because I barely see them...when something goes wrong they fix it right...no coming back, no missed diagnosis, no mistakes. I highly recommend them!

I wanted to update my review with input.I have been coming to Tri-City Auto since I was in high school. They have always taken great care of me, and my family! Great business, and great to work with.I now have a work truck along with my personal car, which I had talked to my boss about bringing to Tri-City instead of where they were having me take it because its a place I know and can trust!

I am a repeat customer. When I discovered a nail in a tire, I called made an appointment. I was promptly seen and the work completed on time. I felt confident leaving on my road trip there next day.The staff wore masks, the check-in and payment stations had plastic shields in place. I am giving 4 stars, rather than 5, because I saw two clients enter the store without masks.I will use them again.

My son is in college at NCCU and the heat and a/c blower stopped working. Tri-City was recommended by my brother-in-law who lives in Durham. They got the repair completed and the football player now has a way to grab food when the cafe’ is closed. Thanks for you help Jennifer!WingMann

Ryan was very professional and courteous when I called to schedule a last minute inspection. When in the office, he was personable and easy to talk to which made my first visit here quite welcoming. I will be returning for any service maintenance I may need on my vehicle in the future.Side note: I was referred to their office from Quick Lube in Durham because they were completely booked and the lady who referred me to Tri-City was also very kind. I wouldnt be surprised if theyre related or close business partners. So, thank you to Quick Lube for the reference!

Review №37

I have been a Tri-City customer for over 10 years and have always had excellent service. By chance a problem is not fixed, they will continue to work to resolve the issue. I have always felt that they provide an honest evaluation of my car issues and recommend what must be repaired versus what would be nice to correct but does not affect the functioning of my older vehicle. It is especially nice to have access to a loaner vehicle (or shuttle service) since I am a one-vehicle household and need transportation. Also, knowing they are a Christian business makes me know that all dealings are honest, and they are trustworthy.

Review №38

Helped me out by finding a creative solution to my problem. I didnt need the problem to be 100% fixed, I just needed the car to be safe and functional again and they were able to accommodate that at a low price. Really appreciate their flexibility, and the car is now running great!

Tri-City worked with my busy schedule to fit me in their workday. I had a late day appointment and even though they were closing up for the evening I never felt rushed. The staff is personable and I felt the service was thorough. I will be going back for my car maintenance needs.

This is my first visit to Tricity Auto shop. When the dashboard showed problem with the engine I wanted to go somewhere close to work. The people are very professional, courteous, very efficient in their work. They took care of the diagnostic and the repair right away and returned the car on the same day. Best part is they take care of your ride to and fro to work, and the workplace discounts that they offer! Amazing job guys and keep up the good work! Will definitely be my garage of choice in future.

Review №44

Just bought a set of tires from Tire City Auto on 5/5/20. Ryan Zweck was very professional in providing me a quote and then following up with me throughout the process. The tires I ordered were delayed by a day and they provided me a loaner vehicle to use for 1-2 days until the tires came in and were installed. Also, they were very attentive to the cleanliness of my vehicle as well as the loaner vehicle they provided me by following wipe down procedures for my safety. Great job and I highly recommend Tri-City Auto.

Outstanding....sons truck broke down on the way back to Michigan and had it towed to TriCity on recommendation of Lees Towing. They worked hard over several days to find and fix the issue and kept me well advised of the progress. Being from out of town was concerned they had me as I could not shop price however they were extremely fair. Wish all businesses operated with such fair transparency. Would highly recommend anyone in the area to check this place out for tires or repairs.....I am positive you will be satisfied

Review №51

I had 95k services for my 2011 Prius at one of the Toyota dealers in RTP. The service guy told me the timing chain tensioner needed to be replaced with a quote of $3059 ($125 for part and $2681 for labor). Glad I came to the Tri-City Auto Care for a second opinion (I found them through repairpal). Everyone at the Tri-City Auto was so friendly and professional. Jennifer and the guy at the front desk (sorry I forgot his name) are awesome. Ken, the owner, even took the time to take me to the garage and showed me where the problems were. It turned out not only the timing chain tensioner was defective and the crank sensor needed to be replaced. I ended up pay $600 to get everything fixed, which was one fifth of the cost of a Toyota dealer. I know where I would go for future services!

I went to Tri-City for my automotive repairs because of the extremely positive things my son had to say about them. My experience was exactly what he related to me. A very friendly and knowledgeable staff that was a pleasure to work with. My BMW was fixed perfectly to my satisfaction and in a timely manner. After this, I dont see taking my car anywhere else.

Other then owning a home, your car is usually your biggest investment. And to protect that investment one needs to have partners. That is all I have ever looked for in an auto garage - a partner to protect my investment. Tri-City Auto Care is such a partner. They understand that the secret to business success is their commitment to making life long clients. Their focus is long term. Do right to others and you will reap the benefits. I have found the right partner in Tri-City Auto Care. I highly recommend them.

It was the best automotive service I’ve ever received I highly recommend using this company. Tri-City auto care will be my life long automotive maintenance company. They were very respectful and knowledgeable about the issues that I had with my vehicle they were thorough and explained what Needed to be done in layman’s terms so I could understand. I highly recommend their services to anyone out there thank you for your professionalism and thank you for fixing my vehicle.

Smack in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis, my car inspection was due. Tri City got me in fast, was throrough and respectful, and made suggestions without being pushy when I declined. Because I already knew some things needed to be done for routine maintenance, I appreciate that nothing unnecessary was suggested and have since scheduled to get my regular maintenance there next week.

Review №62

Top Gun Mechanic Shop. They are fast, reliable, guarantee their work. If you dont need a loaner car, they can take you where you need to be dropped off at until repairs are done, saved one uber ride here. They stuck to the online estimate given, and informed me of all steps of my vehicle being fixed. If you are looking for a mechanic, this is the best baseline in Durham. Definitely try here first. This IS the place you are looking for.

I have been recently doing business with Tri-City and am convinced that there is nowhere in this area that provides me more assurance and confidence knowing that whichever of my vehicles I bring in, they will be repaired correctly for the fairest price. They have to eat, so do I. We understand each others wants and Im sure they will treat you no differently. Thats It. Go Heels.

These people won’t steer you wrong. They are knowledgeable, as well as fair when it comes to billing.

I needed to get an oil change and tire rotation before going out of town. I live in Oxford but was visiting my friend, Julia Morton, in Durham. She is a long time customer at Tri City and referred me to them. The front desk personnel was very friendly and helpful. The mechanics were excellent and did an inspection to be sure I would be safe on my trip. I will come to Tri City for my future mechanical and tire needs! I trust and believe I got a fair and professional experience. I recommend Tri City to everyone who has a tire or mechanical need.

I have never felt such trust for an auto repair shop as I do with Tri City Auto. I have never felt condescended to because Im a woman. I have always felt that they are honest, forthright, and excellent at what they do. They provided us with a car that they offered while they kept ours overnight. I have never had a garage offer that before and it made such a huge difference for us as a one car family. I highly recommend this garage and feel so good that we have a place that we can trust so much.

I have been with Tri-City for a year and have been very pleased with their service and prices. I had an appointment today and due to them being short staffed for the day, my car hadn’t been looked at when I arrived to pick it up. The owner personally called me, apologized profusely, and offered to do the work I needed for free at my convenience. Mistakes happen and things don’t go as planned, but they really care about their customers and if something is wrong, they will make it right.

Review №93

I have been using Tri-City Auto Care for almost 5 years -- on three different cars. They were highly recommended to us when we moved to Durham, and the recommendation was spot on. In 53 years of driving and maintaining cars, Tri-City is one of the two best auto services I have had -- and they just nose out the other to be #1 in my book. Why? First, exceptional staff, from the owner (Ken) to the Service Manager (Tony), to the mechanics they are top notch. They dont push unnecessary services -- they explain clearly what is needed but also separate out safety and mandatory servicing from elective maintenance. They do great work, are reliable, and stand behind their work -- fixing it without charge or fuss if necessary (a rare event). Bottom line -- this is a wonderful place to have service done on your cars. Highly recommended!

Review №97

Tri-City was highly recommended to me by a coworker who lives in Durham. I live in Raleigh so Tri-City was not convenient. However Tri-City gave me a loaner car which was not expected which made TriCity convenient. I didnt need Uber or a ride from anyone. That was a huge plus! My car have AC issues blowing hot air. I told them upfront that Fred Anderson diagnosed the same problem by charging the system and telling me I need a AC compressor. TriCity gave me the impression they could locate and repair the leak. I was told the compressor is good so I thought great! The AC cooled for about a week. I took the car back and they needed to diagnose the car again. They told me the AC system is not leaking but that I needed an compressor and HV inverter, $4200 with a waived 2nd diagnostic fee. I opted to pay the 2nd diagnostic fee and not fix the car.Tri-City was more expensive than Fred Anderson dealership in diagnostic fees and the estimate was more expensive for TriCity to repair the AC system. $3500 at Fred AndersonThe people behind the counter were friendly and pleasant. The loaner cars was a great unexpected bonus. The downside was the two diagnostic fees for the same problem. Secondly the repair cost estimate was greater than the dealership when historically the dealership is higher than independants.Tri-City did me no wrong, they are on the high side. Maybe the loaner car expense is factored in the repair and is not free?PK
