Read Our Reviews from Top Rated Dealer In Durham, NC

My family has used Durham's Auto Mart since I was kid and it was a small lot. They've always treated my family like their family. Jason Chambers was awesome and really helped my husband and I out during a hard situation. He really went to bat for us when helping us get a loan after many failed attempts elsewhere. Jason & Toby both really went above and beyond helping us out and it means the world to us.

It was just over two weeks ago that my trusty old 2002 Subaru Outback took her last ride with me after 20 years of loyal service. She suffered a radiator reservoir explosion, and I had to pull over ASAP before a fire started. I had already been ready to retire her due to other future repair costs, but circumstances forced my hand early, so I got to work researching available and newer Subaru Outback models. I visited one large dealership within five days, but their staff were extremely duplicitous, so I promptly left feeling very misled and annoyed. Enter the exemplary and professional staff at Durham Auto Mart: Chip, Toby, and other colleagues who I did not have the pleasure of meeting. I found a listing on Carfax to Durham Auto Mart for a 2013 Subaru Outback that looked in great shape, awesome Carfax report, low mileage, and in an excellent price range. I called Durham Auto Mart to inquire, but Chip sadly and graciously informed me that another buyer had already made an offer. He promised to call me back if it fell through though. And that he did. I was sitting at home pondering how long it would take to find a better deal, when suddenly my phone rang, and Chip gave me some excellent news. As my luck would have it, the other buyer was militantly insistent on trading in his very, very old car, which was not in good enough condition to be of any resale value, and somehow this condition completely undid his commitment to the 2013 Outback. Chip and I spoke for over 30 minutes. I asked him intensive, detailed questions about the vehicle, and he answered all my queries with specificity and patience, and he deeply impressed me with his knowledge and passion for all automotive matters. He was so authentically convincing that I (wisely) chose to immediately book an Uber and head straight for Durham Auto Mart. On arrival Chip greeted me heartily, and we got straight to business. I took a long look at the Outback and its myriad new features, then Chip and I took it for a test drive. I absolutely loved how it handled and was sold on it within minutes. On return we began the long and laborious process of certifying credit, transferring insurance, signing innumerable documents, and even hit a bizarre snag whereby Equifax decided that I didn’t exist! Chip handled the problem ably and with determination. We learned that it was simply an issue with my name (I have two middle names) and eventually the system cleared me with flying colors and a very reasonable interest rate. Throughout this process, there was no artifice or deception from either Chip or Toby. Both of these gentlemen were straightforward, honest, and did not pressure me at all. Durham Auto Mart’s transfer fees are low compared to competitors, there are no hidden “junk” fees bundled in with the purchase, and Toby explained all my warranty and financing options in detail. Some dealerships might have tried to take advantage of my inexperience in buying a car, as after all this was the first vehicle I’d bought in 20 years, but Chip and Toby did the exact opposite. They acted in good faith and treated me with grace and respect throughout, and they were excellent conversationalists. I strongly and without hesitation recommend Durham Auto Mart as a business and endorse their staff as trustworthy individuals. They have been in operation for nearly 50 years and my experience with them abundantly demonstrates why they have endured for so long. Independent businesses are so important to support in an era of increased centralization and corporatization, so if you need a car, even from afar, give Durham Auto Mart a call. -Anthony Joyce

Fantastic and helpful staff. Would highly recommend buying a car from here!

I visited for an emissions test and was greeted by Ron at the front desk. He truly provides the best customer service! I’ve been coming here for about three years, and he’s always so pleasant and professional!

Awesome place! Staff was super helpful, Jason was friendly and kind. He helped find the best price for my new Jeep. Definitely would recommend!

I flew from Pittsburgh PA to buy my 1994 ford mustang. I could not be happier. Chip my sales man was fantastic he insured me that I would not be disappointed in taking the trip. I of course was not disappointed and drove the mustang home that day. Thanks to Chip my sons are very happy with there new ride. Lots of enjoyment already and many more days to come. Thanks again Chip!! 5 stars from me.

My wife and I are very happy with our purchase. The staff are helpful ,friendly,and very professional. Chip Lewis was our salesman and knows the buisness very well with 30+ yrs of experience. Please don't hesitate to check this place out.

Bought my very first used car from the team over at Durham’s Auto Mart. After shopping around many used dealerships across the triangle, I have to say these folks are the best of the best. Non-pressure sales and a team willing to work with you to find the best possible deal for both parties. Top notch service and just all around good, humble people. I absolutely love my new ride and I’ll happily buy another car from here in the future.

Two weeks before I started my senior year of college, my car broke down. I spent a whole week searching online and making calls. After several bad experiences with "fresh-on-the-lot" dealers who tried to sell me anything to make a sale, I decided to branch out of my hometown and found Durham's Auto Mart. Seeing the other reviews listed here made gave me high hopes for the 1.5 hour drive. It was definitely worth it, because I found a car that fit all of my needs and it was within my budget! Chip Lewis was truly a lifesaver after going back and forth with my local car dealers. Chip was well-informed about my vehicle and didn't force any decisions on me. He personally made sure everything was functioning properly on the vehicle before I left the lot. I'm grateful for his patience and the care he has for his clients. To anyone else doing a car search, I believe that you can find the perfect car here for a reasonable price.

My husband and I came by early this morning and Jason Chambers came out to greet us...He was so nice and helpful....We did end up buying one of the vehicles that we came by to see and drive and Jason was so so helpful.....It's nice to have such a great salesman to help with any questions you have....I want to thank Mr. Durham for having such great help...

I recently purchased a Toyota Highlander from Durham's Auto Mart. Jason Chambers was great to work with. I told when what I needed and the price range I wanted to spend. He gave suggestions but never pressured me for a decision and was willing to answer all questions and if he was not sure, he would research. It was a pleasure to deal with someone who did not pressure me to make a decision. Thanks for also being patient with me.

Found a gem in Durham! I am very meticulous in my search for used vehicles so after an exhaustive year long search I found the dealer, salesperson and vehicle. I went to the dealership and Chip came out and greeted me. He was pleasant, unassuming, and my personal favorite, not pushy. I test drove the vehicle and they allowed me to drive the vehicle to my personal mechanic for an inspection. From the beginning I liked every aspect of the sell but most important, the pricing. I did not have to beg or negotiate so I knew how much it was out the door. Best believe I will be getting another vehicle from them!

Would give 10 stars 🌟 if I could !! :) Toby & Conner are just great individuals. This is a family business , so it welcomes you - as that! They went above and beyond to help my mom💝 Trustworthy , Pleasant & Easy going ! Who new that buying a car, can be FUN !! Thanks again Gentleman's:))
