They only offered a tow to the nearest dealership that was closed until Monday. I found VIP tires in Bennington who were not only open for business, but incredibly kind and helpful! Adam and Dylan found the problem, patched my tire and gave me a new sensor in a matter of minutes. They even checked my son's car to make sure he had enough air pressure in his tires to make the trip home safely. Adam and Dylan were amazing and I highly recommend them. They are called VIP for good reason!

They just insisted on time constraints. Secondly if you don't have techs that know what they're doing then you shouldn't be in business.

Last week I drove from Burlington to Bennington. My father was having surgery. I realized as we…read morewere driving over the mountain from Wilmington that my tire pressure light was reading 17 rather than 35! I dropped my father off and immediately began to look for a station with air. After finding Earl's, I frantically began to look through my car for $2.00 in quarters. Counting nickels & dimes I went inside and met Jesse. I asked for change, but he quickly escorted me to a bay where he filled all my tires! I asked how much for all 4 but he declined. I began to cry as I was feeling vulnerable due to my reason in Bennington. I shook his hand and thanked him for his genuine kindness....something more people should have. Thank you Jesse!!!!!!!

First of all, the staff there, especially Trish and Robin, are friendly and try to be helpful. I…read morehad a couple different repairs (brakes, etc) done, and that seemed to be done well and competently. That ended when I had a more involved repair that I trusted them with. I brought in my 2016 Jeep in April 2025 to have the lifters and rockers replaced, as there was a classic ticking noise. As of this writing, the jeep is still there. Leo was the mechanic who worked on it, and he had said he does not do much mechanical work anymore. I was told by one of the staff members that Leo probably should have another mechanic do the repairs, but that the other mechanic (their top guy, who I believe is good) would be keeping an eye on the situation. Leo even told me afterward that he "does not wrench anymore" and focuses on the towing part of the business. The repairs were delayed several days as Leo needed to order parts. I finally brought the vehicle in, and it then took longer than I was told, as Leo needed to order additional parts and tools that were not part of the initial repairs. I went in in the middle of the repairs, and saw the Jeep. The front timing cover was off (not part of the normal repair protocol), there was oil everywhere, sand/cat litter all over the running boards and around the engine, and there appeared to be debris in the engine. Leo assured me that everything was going fine, and the engine actually looked remarkably good inside, with no scorring of components, engine internals looked clean and good, etc... ). Leo also told me it was taking him longer than expected, and that he had spent the better part of the weekend reviewing YouTube videos to learn how to do the repairs. When I picked the vehicle up several days later, there was a new, engine banging sound, that had not been present. Leo was unable to figure out the new noise, and I drove the vehicle less than 3 miles, it shut down, went into limp mode, made horrible grinding noises, and was pouring oil out of the bottom of the engine. I took video of this. As of now, August 2025, I have no vehicle. The owner, Tom, had the vehicle towed, without my knowledge or consent, to a shop in Brattleboro. My understanding is that they did not do any work. I have spoken with several mechanics and experts, shown them the videos and pictures, and have been told that the repair was likely botched and the engine now needs to be replaced. After numerous conversations with Tom, including being yelled at and berated over the phone, I attempted to reach a reasonable compromise, and was told that all they would offer was to not charge me for the "repairs." So, basically, I am being told they will not charge me for destroying my engine. My last email to Tom was over a month ago, and he has not responded. I have filed a complaint with the Vermont Attorney General Consumer Protection Division, and will update this posting as things progress.

One of the mechanics hit my truck with the wrecker in the tiny back parking lot during its stay and…read moretried hiding it. see the damage until I got home.To this day has not taken responsibility nor made it right. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner(bud buell) hasn't heard of this accident happening . The only thing I am to blame for is not making a stink about it as soon as it happened And rather than leaving mad, staying right there and calling the owner of the to come figure this out. the mechanic who I suspected doing it, and also the guy who picked up the truck, said "that was like that when we picked it up". I was furious and unable to get anything out of my mouth other than "fuck you" , while looking him in the eyes, knowing damn well that we both know that is not the truth, and walked away. I was personally at the location it was picked up, then checked on the truck later in the afternoon to see where it was parked in the lot. later on that week, truck had gone into the shop had one part fixed, but needed another part to complete the repair so it was put back out into the lot while the part was a couple days out for delivery. The following day I returned to the lot of Southern Vermont Auto to get my clipboard for work out of my truck. Again seeing my truck for the third time undamaged. I didn't notice the damage until I saw the faces of my family members as I pulled in the driveway and walked around the passenger side. When I went to pick the truck up, I had already been informed on the amount owed so I went and paid $500 in cash for transmission cable repairs, got in my truck, entering it from the driver side and drove straight home 2 miles . I took pictures immediately after noticing all the damage which are within minutes of me getting a printed receipt and leaving the shop.. My truck was not simply dinged or ! It was consistently crushed in several inches in depth 12 inches wide and up to 24 inches wide from the front passenger wheel. Well all the way through my back tail light. Front to back. Absolutely scraped and crushed in both broke my handle, crushed my fender and crushed the back bed front to back $10,000 plus worth of damage minimum. I was so behind on my workload and so mind blown at the situation I let weeks and weeks pass not knowing how to handle the situation and also knowing I got screwed over and would never be compensated. My entire investment for the last five years completely destroyed practically in front of my eyes and they say that's how it was? Absolutely unfathomably ridiculous.
