"Work Happily, Move Happily" Movement | Chapel Hill Sheena

We believe that happy employees create happy customers who create a thriving business.

When Monday morning rolls around, the Chapel Hill Tire family has every reason to get out of bed with a smile. Waking up feeling refreshed after a weekend with family, they drive to work happy—knowing that no matter what the day brings, their team members will support them.

“If someone asks for help, you help them. Nobody wins if everyone doesn't win." — Kurt Romanov, Service Consultant

There is a real sense of community that comes from one of Chapel Hill Tire's guiding values: we believe that together we win to ensure growth for all. This means that every person who walks into a Chapel Hill Tire store - employees and customers - is treated like family. When you work here, the pursuit of excellence becomes a team sport, and the responsibility for our commitment is supported by every member of the team.

“I wanted to be treated like I was part of the family. I wanted to be respected, treated well and listened to. I found this at Chapel Hill Tire.” — Peter Rosell, Manager

This is how your day at work can be – and this is a perfect example of the Happy Ride, Happy Job movement that we live every day here at Chapel Hill Tire.

Core values ​​of the Drive Happy, Work Happy movement

Faced with personal and professional challenges, Chapel Hill Tire owner Mark Pons asked himself the question that changed his company forever: What were his deepest values? And how could he make these values ​​an integral part of working at Chapel Hill Tire, regardless of your position?

Over time, these values ​​evolved into the five principles of our Happy Road, Happy Work manifesto.

We are the first Travel together and grow together. It means offering not just a job, but a career at any level of employment – ​​something that gives you unparalleled opportunities for growth, achievement and meaning in your career.

“Chapel Hill Tire has helped me grow not only as a mechanic, but as a person.” – Aaron Sinderman, Maintenance Technician

To do this, We care a lot. We believe in empowering people through our shared set of values ​​and working in a spirit of gratitude and willingness to help everyone we meet.

“People were talking about values, what they believe in and how it guides them in their work, and I was stunned. It was unlike anything I had experienced before. However, as soon as I saw it in action, I knew this was where I wanted to be.” — Terry Govero, Human Resources Director

And to make sure we're on foot We are accountable to ourselves, to each other and to our community. It means doing the right thing—even when no one is watching. It means following the golden rule in both business and life, and giving credit where it's needed. When one of us wins, everyone wins.

We say yes to first-class customer service. Together we strive to be the best car repair shop in the world, we strive to make every visit to Chapel Hill Tire an enjoyable experience. And if there is a gray area, our policy is to take the side of the client's interests.

In general, We are not just a car place. We strive to be an example of how workshops should operate by caring for our employees, providing them with a real work-life balance and constant opportunities for growth.

“I wanted to find a job that would help me build my future… at Chapel Hill Tire… Every day I expand my knowledge and learn more.” — Jess Cervantes, Service Consultant.

We truly believe that our value-driven approach to business sets us apart from the competition, and we hope that the example we set will begin to change the perception and reputation of this industry, one customer (and one employee) at a time.

We don't just believe that this is how your work day can be - we know that this is how your work day should be. Your work should be an integral part of what makes every awakening worthwhile. And we want to make it a reality for as many people as possible. If these values ​​resonate with you as much as they do with us, we'd love to hear from you.
