How i am only the 2nd review is beyond me…read more.. Anyway, had a transmission issue on my 2011 Camry since i bought it at 23,500 miles. I pointed it out to the dealer (where i do my oil changes) at 40k, 50k and 80k as i noticed the issue getting worse. I was told 'it was a typical issue', 'was nothing to worry about' and even reading online about it being a common issue that eventually needs attention. Note: used Toyotas get a 6yr/100k powertrain warranty Low and behold at $122k oil change my dealer points out there is a transmission issue, repair cost is $1100. I was blown away with how brazen they were. Russell has been there as long as i can recall. I popped in one day to ask the cost of the needed repair and Tory asked a series of investigative questions to determine true need. He suggested he may know another route at a cost of around $250-$300 we should try first and voila! Issue solved. The car shifts better than it did at 23k, and feels like it would if the transmission was replaced! Ive waited a few months and 20k? miles to post this as i wanted to make sure this wasnt a 'band aid fix' and it doesnt seem to be. Today i scheduled and did my other car with them. Its great to find people you can trust to do work on your cars!

When I returned to pickup the RV, THEY HAD CHANGED ALL SIX TIRES, tell me they were bald! I checked them just last night to make sure there was enough tread on them. They were only halfway used. Then they said " they found a nest in the air filter"? That they had to change out and replace the clamp closer? Long story short (I'm a 71 year old woman). I didn't think in this day and age, we would still have to deal with men like these guys!!! No I would NOT recommend Sullivan tire in bow New Hampshire to any female do not go there.

I waited in the lounge area & watched a movie. Within 2 hours it was done. The only thing with staying there was seeing a chuck-filled garbage can nobody cared to notice.

Finding an indy shop that knows what they're doing on older European cars isn't always (ever) easy…read more And so when I see someone with an older Porsche I'll usually chat. That's what happened outside the Market Basket when I spotted a woman in a top-down 996 911. Perfect. She raved about VSR and so it went into my "check it out" mental folder. One nice thing for me is they're only about a five minute drive. Unexpected for sure but super convenient. I cruised by and saw a ton of beautiful older BMWs and a single Porsche. Clearly the bulk of their work isn't from Stuttgart. But when I went in to chat I saw two 911s up on lifts and that was enough. Since then I've had minor stuff done and it's always been done thoroughly and correctly. They're very easy to talk to and truly know their stuff. I've been an engineer for a whole lotta time, and with that experience comes a good sense for competence. And these guys have it. Having discovered VSR I can breathe a sigh of relief at not having to go here there and everywhere anymore to try and suss out "a good guy". And they don't just do the usual wrenching but will handle any size job. So if Rosie's engine ever needs a rebuild/replacement (which Porsche's occasionally do, sad to say) they'll be the ones I choose to do it.

For the past few years I have used VSR for a wide range of services, including a rebuild of a 30 year old motor. All were performed with the highest level of quality and professionalism. Just look at the photos on their website! Also, while they're known mostly for their work on BMWs, I've seen lots of other sports cars in their shop. Bottomline: I live over an hour away from VSR, but the excellent, honest service is worth the inconvenient drive.
