How We Started
BILL’S AUTO CLINIC is the Winston-Salem area’s most trusted family-oriented auto repair shop. We desire to help make your car more efficient and dependable. Our family-owned business was founded on Christian values and the belief that our customers’ safety and convenience are of the utmost importance.
We offer all mechanical services for personal and commercial fleet vehicles, courtesy shuttles, and pickup/delivery services for your convenience, all backed by a 2-year and 24,000-mile nationwide warranty. Our mechanics have almost 50 years of experience providing full-service auto repair and preventative maintenance. We are honest, and we take pride in providing our customers with accurate information about the condition of their cars without sugarcoating or dancing around the issue.
Knowledgeable and Friendly Service
We aim to exceed client expectations by providing knowledgeable and friendly service, comfortable surroundings, and quality results. Here, you can rest assured that your vehicle is in expert hands. Our customers say it best.
Our Beliefs and Goals
The Environment
BILL’S AUTO CLINIC and our subsidiary company, Hybrid Shop of the Triad, operate daily by purchasing auto parts, business supplies, and recycling services from local small businesses whenever possible. We adhere to a repurposing system that emphasizes reducing, reusing, and recycling.
Our commitment spans various practices—we print paper in our office to recycle oil and fluids from maintenance services, resurface brake rotors, and remanufacture hybrid vehicle batteries. We aspire to minimize landfill waste and decrease our carbon footprint as much as possible.
Our shuttle vehicles and some of our personal vehicles are now hybrid electric Toyota Prius and Lexus RX400H units with reconditioned hybrid batteries. Some of them have new remanufactured hybrid batteries.
Our Community
BILL’S AUTO CLINIC supports many local schools, charities, and churches through participation in advertisement campaigns, fundraisers, monetary donations, and volunteer services, like the Jesus Labor of Love program. Here, we dedicate a certain number of monthly labor hours to repairing vehicles for single moms in our community.
We are currently in the initial planning stages of Chariots of Fire-Cars for Our Community, a nonprofit organization inspired by the model of Wheels 4 Hope. Our vision involves engaging the resources of various groups, including students and interns from Forsyth Tech, individuals participating in Forsyth County’s Second Chance Work Release program, and apprentice mechanics.
These individuals will work under the guidance of our experienced master mechanics to repair donated cars from community members, who can then claim tax deductions. This approach not only facilitates valuable learning experiences for these technicians but also contributes to the overall benefit of all parties involved. We hope to see our not-for-profit program help people of all ages and from all walks of life in Winston-Salem, NC.
What Makes Us Different
We possess the latest state-of-the-art NuVant Systems EVc-30 Hybrid Battery Reconditioning equipment with automatic cell balancing capabilities. This equipment is exceptionally rare and demands substantial training for its proper operation, a skill set in which we are certified specialists. Our expertise goes beyond cell testing and replacement with new units.
We engage in comprehensive battery pack reconditioning and balancing. We also meticulously rebuild and reuse all high-quality components, replacing parts only when necessary. Our process includes rigorous road testing in our vehicles, simulating real-world stressors and driving scenarios.
Moreover, we extend our commitment by offering a warranty program that can cover our batteries for up to five years. This is in stark contrast to dealerships, which often provide a mere one-year warranty in most cases.
