Subject: C. H. Tire – Ann’s comments!

Bless you Ann for having the courage to re-Post and say you were wrong.  Was about to post something in defense of my friends @ CH (Carrboro & Chatham County)Tire but see a number of you jumped in with POSITIVE remarks!   Good for you!

Just my 2 cents — > It is so easy to be critical these days and I fear as in politics that there are many times a “silent majority” (out there) that do not feel the same as some folks who post negative reports — and then there are others who believe the last thing they hear and will just repeat information regardless of the validity!

Subject: Chapel Hill Tire in Cole Park

Hello Chatlisters:

I feel compelled to rise to the defense of CH Tire-Cole Park as in today’s Chatlist a ‘lister cast aspersions on the veracity of their advice in a recent transaction.  My experience with them over the last three years has been excellent.  They find things now and then on my car and trucks and explain them thoroughly and are very upfront about how to deal (or not deal) with items they have found.

Subject: Good, No excellent car repair service in the Pittsboro area

Wow, all the negative comments regarding people’s horrible experiences with Chapel Hill Tire has prompted me to recount an EXCELLENT service experience I received from a locally owned small business. Auto Pro, just past the Haw river on 15-501. Six miles north of Pittsboro. Just past the Haw River bridge.

Subject: complaining

I have been reading and learning from fellow chatlisters of good and bad experiences with local businesses. There seems to be a trend here. The local automotive service and sales companies seem to want our business. Many have spoken up for and against several local businesses that provide vital transportation and service to the local community. I have myself mentioned an unfortunate and inconvenient brush with one of the companies in the area (much to my chagrin).

Subject: re CHT

In response to the chatlist about CHT:

You need to complain to management that is what they are there for. If you don’t, a lot of time the employees are not going to get themselves in trouble by telling their manager. One call to the manager is all it takes. I have never gone there and don’t plan to from all of the bad stuff I have heard but I think that everyone needs to put in their complaints to him.

Subject: Good tire/auto service

I cannot comment on Chapel Hill Tire since I have never used their services but I can tell you that Nelson Tire & Auto in Siler City does quality work.

I should know, as I am a commuter from Greensboro and have been for over a year and they have taken care of my car needs with accuracy, courteousness and friendly mail reminders.  I needed some work done on my vehicle and received a quote in Greensboro for approximately $1200.  I came to work and upon the advice of a co-worker, took my car to Nelson’s.

Subject: Regarding Chapel Hill Tire at Cole Park

I have been a customer with Chapel Hill Tire for some time. I know Marc Pons personally and to a lesser extent his brother and sister.  In this life two ideals they hold high are integrity and honor.  I feel comfortable saying that as I feel I know them.  Yes, I have had to go back and talk with the counter staff at Cole Park about a missed this or that.  We always worked it out.  I left feeling good about them.

Subject: rare reply from Chapel Hill Tire

My name is Steve Taylor and I’m the manager of Chapel Hill Tire Car Care Center at Cole Park Plaza.  I monitor these posts daily and also feel that there is quite a bit of useful information shared across this community by this chatlist and think personally that Gene does a great job.  I would also like to think that the majority of stories spread on here are impartial and are spread for public benefit.  However, there is a disclaimer on the bottom of the chatlist because Gene in his wisdom knows that not all information on here is accurate, or impartial. “The contents of the digest do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Chatham Online, the Chatham Journal, or Gene Galin.

Subject: my 0.02 re CH Tire

I’ve been a customer of CH Tire for over 30 years.  Dealt with Mr. Al Pons in CH before his two sons (Mark & Brett) took over after his untimely death.  Al used to loan me his black Mercedes while my car was in the shop – that was some type of “loaner”!
