Chapel Hill Tire и Passport Motors
Passport Motors joins Chapel Hill Tire
Two longtime Franklin Street businesses are teaming up to provide continued access to high quality auto service in downtown Chapel Hill.
In response to his landlord's change of plans, Passport Motors owner Jim Youngman closed his store at 600 West Franklin Street back in early December. With no time to waste, Jim and his master technician, Johnny Feathers, moved into their new location, just a block down, at the Chapel Hill Tire Store at 502 West Franklin Street.
“About a year ago,” Youngman said, “our landlord told us they were selling the building. We immediately started looking for a new location and after carefully considering all of our options, we decided to join the Chapel Hill Tire team. This is a great company that has been in Chapel Hill since 1953. There's a reason they've been around for so long, that's the reason they're growing and expanding in the Triangle area, and that's the reason we're moving. with them. They really care about their customers, they really care about the people who work there and they do a great job. We couldn't be happier."
“Passport Motors has built a well-deserved reputation as a store for European car owners, especially Volkswagens and Audis,” said Mark Pons, president and co-owner of Chapel Hill Tire with his brother Britt. “So, from the moment Jim mentioned that he needed to find a new place, I was hoping that he would choose to come here. We are a value-driven company built on the idea that happy employees create happy customers. We strive for excellence, always say “yes” to the client, and always look for ways in which we and our clients can win together. Jim and Johnny's experience, the quality of their work and their concern for their clients make them ideal for us."
"Jim and Johnny will only work at our West Franklin Street store," Pons said. “You can make an appointment with them at www.chapelhilltire.com, simply provide an address on West Franklin Street and let us know in the notes that you would like them to do your job. Or you can simply call us at (919) 967-7092. They will be there to greet you when you leave your vehicle and our complimentary shuttle service will take you where you need to go and pick you up when your vehicle is ready. We look forward to being your trusted car care assistant for years to come."
