December 9, 2024 G K Auto Detailing…read more(Gregory Kelley, owner) 963 E. Barre Road East Barre, VT 05649 802-522-0181 A recent visit was made to G K Auto Detailing in East Barre, VT... near the roundabout off the 302 in Vermont... (be careful, you will miss the narrow driveway...) Once there... Greg will contact you... describe the procedure... and take the keys and your vehicle into his shop... You (hopefully) have a friend/significant other to drive another vehicle to wait nearly two hours while this gentleman does his artwork... Outside his business, one can see a smoke-belching chimney on a cold wintry day... inside the workplace, I can imagine a blazing pot-belly stove creating interior balmy temperatures... There, an endless supply of freshly-made buttermilk flapjacks are being slung onto stately and shiny glass plates... completely drenched in maple syrup (from Vermont!), feeding his hungry customers... while they wait for their vehicles... (Not...) Mr Kelley is professional, thorough, warm, down-to-earth and pleasant to speak with... He details exactly what his work entails... what materials he utilizes... His work is top notch... his prices are more than fair... (He was recommended by the Vermont Quick Lube people in Barre)... It is easy to see why... both of these businesses exude "service with a smile"... Back to G K Auto Detailing... Greg completely undercoated my two vehicles with a protective surface against loose road salt and other contaminants... I want my vehicles to last quite a while... This will now be a yearly renewal process... and Mr Kelley will be tasked to do precisely this... Additionally, in just several short weeks, I will employ Greg with detailing the exterior and interior of my vehicles... I want his attention and expert energies directed exclusively to my vehicles... I must say the following: He is not a detailer... He is an artist... Keep this mind when you see him to work on your vehicles... No blueberry pancakes to have prepared for you during your wait... which is too unfortunate... they would probably be just as good as his work...

I spoke with Greg over the phone scheduled for an undercoating for my 2014 Tacoma. I explained the…read moretruck had never been undercoated before and I wanted a good, thick coat applied. I was surprised when I picked up my truck. The undercarriage appeared clean and a thick coat was applied to everything under my truck. The outside of the truck was cleaned. I was totally impressed and plan to do more business with Greg in the future. Ray McCormack

I am not happy with Route 5 Auto. I am in NH and trying to help my brother get his vehicle. I spoke…read morewith them 3 Weeks before his appt saying I needed a call on price before work was done to see if I could afford it and I could only do minimum repairs. He went ahead and did work and I got stuck with $1200.00 bill which is could not afford. If he called I would have done work in two sessions. Also he let my brother take vehicle before it was not paid for. This is not good customer service and someone you can't trust to do the right thing. Be cautious of this garage. Mary D

I would give Auto Craftsmen 100 stars if I could. I've been bringing my car to them for at least…read more6yrs, and compared to the previous 14yrs experience with other mechanics, Auto Craftsmen can't be beat. Their customer service and mechanics are knowledgeable and friendly, the information provided is easy to understand and the transparency of the work they have done is a breath of fresh air. Recently I had a small mountain of work done under the hood. While everything was taken apart, Auto Craftsmen mechanics discovered other problems which could have left me stranded on the side of the road if not taken care of. Instead of taking advantage of an opportunity to charge me for another visit, they let me know of the issues, and the repairs got done. What could have been close to a $1000 visit after the fact, was instead barely over $100 extra on my original estimate. I greatly appreciate all the work Auto Craftsmen does, the extra effort they go to keep my vehicle in good shape and how honorable they are.

They ordered the snow tires immediately and installed them Saturday morning. While installing the new tires they noticed I had 2 all season tires that needed to be trashed. They placed the remaining 2 tires in plastic bags and put them in my trunk - what a thoughtful thing to do! They also replaced a stripped lug nut, which could have been a real problem in the future. I wasn't sure what time I could pick up the car on Saturday and they offered to meet me on a Sunday (they are closed on Sundays) if that could make it easier for me. As an out of towner, I was treated like a local...amazing service and they were priced very competitively with ANY other tire place I checked. I wish I could give them 6 stars....thank you so much!!

Always Great Service! The service requested was to replace…read moreall tires and spark plugs with an oil change on my Tacoma. I scheduled my appointment with Brittany who patiently listened & documented my requests. She helped me to find the correct replacement tires to suit my needs, and ensured the correct date and time of my appointment. Her communication skills were very professional; she effortlessly repelled all distractions and offered me her attention which allowed for me to walk away with confidence that my appointment would address my requests. The day of the service provided a faster turnaround than I had expected; they had my Tacoma on the lift quickly, the mechanic made sure to communicate during and after the service of the progress and findings, and the overall end costs were well below what I was anticipating. Once again, Routhier Auto Center delivered upon my expectations with ease! My drive home from their center is always smooth and satisfying, and I will always boast to have an awesome auto center that takes great care of me and my truck!
