    First phone call was outgoing from me. Second and third is her calling me twice to give me nonsense I don't have time for.

    An older lady with an accent who wouldn't give up her name at the front desk was super rude and was not helpful by any means.. she was super unprofessional and completely misunderstood everything I was asking for. It sounded like she did not know a thing about a thing. I hung up because I was not going to tolerate anyone's attitude. She then called me back 3 times to continue arguing from +1 (919) 469-2699 . I will not tolerate attitudes from anyone, sorry not sorry. She's supposed to provide a service, not demands. Someone needs to speak with her because it doesn't give a good look to the store.

    One of the photos Philip Marquis captured on his phone of the 911S I flew from California to North Carolina to buy.

    When I write reviews, I tend to get carried away so if you want the Cliff's Notes version, just scroll down to the last paragraph. Shopping for a Certified Pre-Owned low-mileage Porsche 911 S (991 body style) takes patience and is not like shopping for a pre-owned BMW or Mercedes-Benz -- where the availability and choices are orders of magnitude more. In my quest to buy my mid-life crisis car, I was very particular in the options I had to minimally have, the exterior and interior colors, the price, and last but not least, the mileage. Moreover, Porsche 911 annual production figures is quite low compared to more heavily produced cars like BMW, MB, Lexus, Acura, etc. On average, each California Porsche dealership had 2-3 pre-owned 911S's in the 991 body style to choose from and from that list, most did not fit my criteria (usually, they all had more miles than I wanted). I decided not to limit myself and started searching all over the U.S. (even then, the pool of cars was limited. After weeks of searching, one of my saved search queries on one of the car sites yielded a new listing posted only an hour prior to my search. This was a posting from Leith Porsche in Cary, NC and the car had almost everything I wanted, low 10k miles, and was in a less common color (aqua blue metallic). The listing was so new, they didn't even take pictures of the car yet as they just got it in as a trade-in from a customer that bought the car new 3 years prior from their dealership. I headed over to their website in hopes I could find some photos but none were available on their website either. Later that evening, I submitted my contact info through their website, indicating I was interested in that particular car and that I wanted to see some photos of it. The next morning, I was contacted by Phillip Marquis who sent me clear photos he personally took of the car from his phone since the dealership photos hadn't been done yet. Following the photos, Philip patiently answered all the questions I had over the phone about the car, the process of buying a car in NC and shipping it to CA, financing, etc. Since I was not local, we worked out all the details over the phone, email, and text messages until I felt comfortable enough to fly out to Raleigh, NC. With a $1,000 credit card deposit and purchase agreement, the car was held for me and I flew out there. The Leith Porsche dealership was very easy to find, nested alongside a few other dealerships. Upon arrival from my red-eye flight, I was greeted by the very friendly Philip Marquis, who led me to the refreshment area as I was in need of coffee. He then showed me the car and went over other details with me. I liked it. The condition was just as he described it to me over the phone. I then worked with Alex Wilson for the financing and paperwork. Before I flew to NC, I got myself approved for a pre-owned car loan through my bank (Bank of America) for 2.49% 60 months. Alex was able to get me financed for 2.29% for the same 60 month period through my bank. Fascinating. 2.29% for a used car for 60 months! (YMMV, of course -- my credit score was 830 at the time). Anyhow, Alex was very professional as well. After everything was completed, Philip made arrangements with the auto transportation broker the dealership uses exclusively. At my request and expense, Philip also arranged installation of a front end clear bra with the guy Leith Porsche uses for all their cars/customers that want to protect their cars from rock chips. Between the time I left to the time I received the car, Philip has kept in contact with me to ensure everything was going smoothly. He was reachable on his cell phone whether he was at the dealership or during off hours. He really cares about his customers. Overall, I had a great experience with my car purchase. I've purchased a number of Mercedes and BMWs over the years but this was my first Porsche and the experience was top notch. I won't hesitate to contact Philip Marquis at Leith Porsche in the future when the next generation 911 comes out. BTW, the 911S is an absolutely amazing car to drive... plenty of power on tap and it handles like no car I've ever driven before.

From the moment they answer the phone with "How can I serve you?", you can tell customer service is at the heart of what they do. Steve is usually the person I work with, and he has always been fantastic to deal with. The team is incredibly transparent throughout the entire process and takes the time to show videos and pictures of anything they recommend for your vehicle. What I appreciate most is that they never use pressure or scare tactics to push unnecessary repairs. They're honest, straightforward, and truly treat you like family instead of just another customer walking through the door. It's hard to find an auto shop you can fully trust these days, but Christian Brothers has absolutely earned ours.

When I called Christian Brothers, I had the pleasure of speaking with Heidi. She was very helpful from the 1st phone call, and throughout the whole process. I was able to bring my car in right away and they got to it the next day. After a thorough inspection, I was sent multiple videos and pictures of the findings, along with a breakdown and prioritizing what my car needed. Again, Heidi was very knowledgeable and walked me through step-by-step answering all my questions. She was very patient, kind and understanding while I made decisions. It can be overwhelming dealing with car problems and I really appreciated their help and will be back!

The mechanic listened, asked good follow-up questions, made sure he understood the problem before drawing any conclusions, and then diagnosed it cleanly. The part arrived within the window he quoted (2-3 hours), was installed without fuss, and the final bill was reasonable. What stood out as much as the technical work: he flagged a slow coolant leak and a minor oil leak -- this is an older car, so neither was a shock -- but there was no pressure to pile on services. He showed me rough estimates so I'd have them when I'm ready and left the decisions to me. That kind of straightforward, no-upsell approach is rarer than it should be. The waiting area is a genuine plus: free wifi, a table big enough to work at, and a small fridge with complimentary drinks, large TV. My one suggestion would be to add a coffee in the AM. Also, the door to the reception currently reads "B". Might want to avoid any confusion with better signage. That said, I am a big fan of this establishment and will be using them for repairs in the future (apparently sooner than I want :) Bonus: he pointed me to a wonderful Indian place across the street, Biryani, which I'd highly recommend if you have time to kill while your car is being worked on.

That relieves an incredible amount of anxiety on our part. They don't make a repair which is unnecessary. They don't try to scare you into agreeing to have expensive, unneeded repairs figuring that the anxiety of not having them done would encourage you to OK them. They don't continually try to up sell you on unneeded services as many dealership service departments do. They even verified that new tires that our tire dealer said that we needed were not needed now because the current tires were fine wrt tread wear and other features. More anxiety relief. They also do top-quality repairs. We have taken our two vehicles there for the past three years, one of which is almost 30 years old. Some repairs appeared to us that they may be undoable but they have solved every problem. They only use manufacturer replacement parts which may cost a little more or delay a repair but are likely to last much longer than using cheap generic parts but then charging the manufacture prices. Their labor charges are entirely reasonable. The manager, Will, is incredibly knowledgeable and capable of running a three-ring circus if needed. Because of their outstanding service, it is typical to have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment.

    I've been a returning customer here for years, bringing multiple cars in for routine maintenance…read more This was the first time I called with an actual problem -- and it will be my last time calling at all. I phoned to describe the issue with my car. The manager told me to shut the engine off, wait a minute, and restart it. I did, and it didn't work. He then said I'd need to have it towed in. I responded "Oh, okay" -- in a completely normal tone -- and he became rude and hung up on me. I'm not sure what I said to provoke that. Nothing, as far as I can tell. But if a neutral response to bad news is enough to end a phone call, I don't trust this shop to communicate honestly about a repair I can't verify myself. That's the whole basis of the relationship between a customer and a mechanic. I'll be taking my cars elsewhere.

    Absolutely the worst experience--avoid this shop at all costs!…read moreMy first visit years ago was awful, and while the owner did make things right, the shop manager was rude and unprofessional then--and nothing has changed. Recently, I had another terrible experience that confirmed I will never return. Three years ago, I paid Tao Auto to replace my timing belt and water pump for the first time. My truck had 322,000 miles at the time. Fast forward to NOW: my truck started making strange noises, so I took it to nearby mechanic. They told me the water pump was leaking and the timing belt needed replacing. So I had my truck towed to my regular mechanic, who said the same thing--and even noted the parts looked like original factory components. That's shocking because I paid Tao Auto for this exact job three years ago! My truck now has 356,000 miles, meaning only about 25,000 miles since the repair. Major repairs like this typically come with an 80,000-mile warranty, so I called Tao Auto. The manager was unbelievably rude and dismissive, repeating that the warranty was only 12 months and insisting they used "good parts." No accountability, no willingness to even inspect the vehicle, nothing. As a paying customer, this is unacceptable. It makes me question whether the work was ever done properly--or done at all. This shop clearly does not value honesty or customer service. The manager's attitude and honesty is the reason my first visit was horrible, and it's the reason I'll never go back. If you care about your vehicle and your money, stay far away from Tao Auto.

Later that evening, they called with a repair estimate of $2,156 to replace the radiator fan, thermostat, and tires, plus $309 just to refill the antifreeze. When I called to ask about alternatives, they only reduced the price by $20. That felt excessive, so I decided to get a second opinion. I ended up going to NC Complete Auto Care, where the radiator fan was replaced for $881. They didn't charge for refilling the antifreeze and said the thermostat wasn't an issue and did not need to be replaced.

No call or text Wednesday 10/23/24 so I called at the end of the day and was told they hadn't started working on the car yet but I was in the queue for the work to be done in the morning. I called today Thursday 10/24/24 and they still hadn't touched the car! And that's when the mechanic told me the appt. was for the 30th. I realize it was my mistake on the scheduling but why didn't the check in lady tell me I had the day wrong? And why didn't someone notice yesterday when the car was sitting there all day? And why did they say the car was in queue to be worked on in the morning? I'm on my way out of town for a family emergency and this messed me up so badly. I've been calling all over to see if I could get a rush job on the work. Really terrible service and I will never go back here or recommend them. Update: I appreciate the businesses response but there was another aspect of this situation that bothered me. When I realize the date mistake I asked the guy who answered the phone if they could squeeze me in. He said: if someone who has an appointment doesn't show up or cancels we can get you in. But I can't make any guarantees. I kind of expected that he'd try to see if he could accommodate me but he just said sorry...can't do anything. And I would feel differently if he had at least shown some empathy.
