Friendly, efficient, and professional. I had my brakes and shocks replaced, and even though there were a few hiccups due to a faulty part, Quinn took accountability and fixed the problem. Would come back again in the future.
A small suggestion would be to clean off some corrosion from the wheel and hub which only takes 30 seconds but may prevent any vibrations.

Needed a tire emergently and as usual Costco had nothing in stock and a long wait. Mavis had a much larger selection of tires at comparable prices and were able to get me in immediately for installation. Staff were professional and communicative. Thank you!

Have tried out multiple Mavis/former NTB locations from Burlington to Durham and out of those four I prefer the Hillsborough location for the fastest and most efficient service that does little to no attempted upselling of other services. Also they are offering a $20 discount if you leave a Google review that should bring my high mileage synthetic blend oil change down to around $90.

I was in the area and needed an oil change. I called the Hillsborough shop and they said they could do it immediately. Less than 40 minutes it was done. Great staff and customer service.
