Durham, NC (October 30, 2024) – Chapel Hill Tire is proud to announce that our Hillsborough Road location has earned the prestigious Blue Seal of Excellence from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). This recognition is a testament to the dedication, skill, and expertise of the entire Hillsborough Road team. With this achievement, Hillsborough Road becomes the seventh Chapel Hill Tire store to earn the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence, highlighting the company’s commitment to maintaining high standards of service across all locations.
Achieving this distinction was no small feat, and it was made possible through the exceptional leadership of former Store Manager, Chris LaFreniere. During his time at the Hillsborough Road store, Chris set a high standard of service and training, championing the importance of ASE certification and continuous learning among the team. His emphasis on technician development and quality workmanship was instrumental in attaining the Blue Seal of Excellence, which requires at least 75% of the staff to be ASE-certified and a certified technician in each area of service offered. Chris has since transitioned to managing Chapel Hill Tire’s Cole Park location, where he continues to inspire excellence.
"We’re incredibly proud of the hard work that went into achieving this honor," said Marc Pons, President of Chapel Hill Tire. "Chris LaFreniere’s leadership laid a strong foundation, and we are confident that our new Store Manager, Colby Weatherspoon, will continue to build on this success and elevate the service we offer to our customers."
With Colby Weatherspoon stepping into his new role, Chapel Hill Tire is excited to continue this commitment to service excellence. Colby brings years of industry experience and a passion for leadership and customer care, making him the perfect fit to lead the Hillsborough Road team into this new chapter.
The ASE Blue Seal of Excellence is the mark of a true professional in the automotive industry, and Chapel Hill Tire is committed to fostering an environment that emphasizes technical training, professionalism, and superior customer service. This recognition underscores our dedication to these values, and we look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional automotive service to our community.
