Becker Automotive

Neil Becker is the best! I won't take my volvo anywhere else.

Mr. Becker has the reputation of being one of the most knowledgeable and reliable car mechanic in Durham. One can count on him that he will fix the most serious car problems. I would not take the car to his shop for general maintenance issues. I was advised to take the car for maintenance (I.e., tire rotation, changing the car oil, etc.) next door to NTB-Nat’l Tire & Battery - they are great for maintenance work and cheaper than Mr. Becker. One more tip - Mr. Becker specializes in Volvos - my favorite car, due to its reliability. He will troubleshoot any car problem he is presented with. You will not be disappointed if you take your car to Mr. Becker. I highly recommend him! I agree with other commentators/reviewers that he provides very friendly service with a big heart, too!

I have been remiss in writing about Becker Automotive. While I have been driving a Volvo since the late 1980's, I have usually taken the car back to the dealership for service. When Crown Volvo in Chapel Hill closed, I looked for an alternative to the Volvo dealerships (Cary/Raleigh).... and I have been happy ever since. Neil and his team have worked on two of my current (1992 & 2001) Volvos. Routine service/maintenance is not only when I go there. Whenever I roll in with an issue, they have expertly diagnosed the problem and usually can fix it the very same day, unless parts need to be ordered. Neil takes time to explain the problem and the alternatives for correcting the issue. One of the great things about building a relationship with Becker Automotive, is that they may notice something amiss with the car and just fix it.. it might be something as small as a missing screw or tie-down (if you drive an old Volvo, you know what I am talking about... things 'happen' over time).. or if
