About Our Shop in Clayton, NC

About

Our Story

Our owners, Phil Leone and his wife Lea, have been in the automotive industry for decades. Phil spent several years operating multiple locations for a corporate repair brand. He learned that at chain shops, customers are often treated as a number in a database and shuffled through the shop like they’re in line at a café. When Phil and Lea opened their own independent auto repair facility, they adopted a different philosophy — one that focuses more on the individual vehicle owners for who they are.

Our Philosophy

At Clayton Lube & Tune, we know that your vehicle is one of your most significant purchases. It needs to be protected, and you deserve the best help to do that! Our philosophy is one that is shared by every person at our shop. You’ll never see us rushing customers in and out. Instead, if you come by the shop, you’ll see our technicians taking their time to listen to our customers and explain repair options with vehicle owners. You’ll see state-of-the-art equipment, trained professional staff, and a clean, welcoming environment. You’ll also see happy customers leaving our shop in efficient, well-maintained vehicles. You can see what we mean today by stopping by 9641 US-70 BUS in Clayton, North Carolina.

Any Repair, Any Service

Trust us when we say we’ve seen it all. Some vehicles are driving on their last leg when they roll into our bay doors. At Clayton Lube & Tune, our team has decades of history under our toolbelt and our knowledge can help identify emerging issues in your vehicle. The best service we can offer you is a heads up whenever we see developing wear or strain on your vehicle, so we can head off the problem and prevent costly breakdowns. We use the term preventative maintenance to mean any service that, performed regularly, prevents accumulated damage to your vehicle. Our work ensures that you don’t have a sudden engine failure or blow-out driving along I-40. Call us today at 919-879-8282 to discuss any vehicle concerns or set up an appointment for your preventative maintenance.

Caring Customer Service

Because we are independently owned, we are not bound by the policies and red tape that can make auto repairs and maintenance a dreadful experience. Our owner is right here in the shop every day, and we make changes regularly to improve our customers’ experience. If waiting for your vehicle’s repairs is an issue, we gladly offer pick-up and drop-off services. If the problem is that you can’t be without your car for an extended period of time, we have loaner vehicles, so you don’t miss a beat in your busy life. We are happy to discuss various financing options to make your auto repairs more manageable. We don’t want you to drive away in an unsafe vehicle for your peace of mind, your passengers with you, and for our whole community in Clayton, North Carolina.
