I cannot say enough good things about VIP Tires in Barre, VT. I drive all the way from Thetford…read morebecause this location is, hands down, the absolute best around--and completely worth the trip. Nick is a superb manager who clearly treats his staff with respect and care, and that culture shows in every interaction with customers. You can feel the thoughtfulness, professionalism, and integrity the moment you walk in. Addie was incredibly attentive and supportive when I had questions and asked about additional work on my car. Her attention to detail and clear communication made me feel genuinely cared for, not rushed or upsold. Aiden did an amazing job--fast, efficient, and thorough--and went the extra mile by offering helpful advice on maintaining my windshield wiper blades. That kind of guidance may seem small, but it speaks volumes about the pride and care he brings to his work. I've already told family and friends, and I truly wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. VIP Tires in Barre has earned my complete loyalty. Thank you all for consistently outstanding service!

Incompetent and predatory. They swore up and down that this was a reliable car, and would pass inspection for at least a year, probably 2 or 3. It failed less than 6 months later, because of the tires, which I had specifically pointed out. They lied to my face about them being in good condition, and when I brought it up, they said that the *paperwork* said that it wouldn't pass inspection, despite their repeated verbal claims. I also negotiated the price ahead of time. The entire office was *pissed.* When I got there, they clearly thought I was someone they could take advantage of. The woman handling the financing was freaking out, with her boss storming around behind her. They would not let me speak to the owner.

I now have an upcoming bill of over 5K to fix the problem that was there at the time of the sale. I am pretty miffed and will share my thoughts with them directly, but needed to warn others to be careful about TSBs with Subarus... they aren't recalls, but they are coverage under warrantees if the vehicle is technically still eligible. Mine was--just before I drove it off the lot-- so it should have been handled before the sale, to assure that it was within good business practice!

The men at the Montpelier office are always very helpful and get the work done as quick and safely as possible. I have shopped around many times and often find that given the level of service the price I pay for any tire is well worth it to stick with Vermont tire and service. With the purchase of new tires you also receive free tire rotations and flats are fixed. Since our vehicles are driven about 120,000 miles a year I am a regular visitor to the tire shop and they greet me by name and take the upmost care in all my dealings with them.

I had to have it towed to two shops until they found... the transmissions drain plugged was pulled by someone that did the oil change that didnt know what they were doing and likely put it back as soon as they noticed they screwed up. My transmission is supposed to hold 3.5 liters but only had 1.5 in it. They almost cost me $14,000 for a new transmission (they did cost me a couple of thousand in towing charges and trying mechanics trying to figure out what happened). Separately, I had tried to make an appointment for my wife's tires since she bought them there but they wouldnt make an appointment and were rude. Me and my family will never go there again. They have lost our business forever!!

A couple of months later, the coolant warning light came on and the coolant level had dropped noticeably -- something normal temperature changes couldn't explain. When I called the service department, the supervisor said they had never heard of such problems with the Taos and told us to bring the car in. However, even a quick online search showed that many 2022 Taos models had coolant leaks caused by incorrect head gasket installation, and a parts representative at another VW dealer confirmed they had repaired several vehicles for this exact issue. We decided to take the car to another VW dealer instead, and they completed the head gasket repair under warranty. It's been over nine months since the repair, and the car has had no further coolant loss. I have no idea why this dealer didn't address this before selling the car (or at least acknowledge the issue when we called), but it left me with little confidence in their service practices. I now have the vehicle serviced elsewhere and confident about the work done on the car. And, I learned to do much better homework before buying my next car to avoid dealing with similar problems in the future.
