Good customer service, professional environment, and easy scheduling. I needed to replace my battery terminal cable, and they were able to fit me in their schedule within two business days. I definitely recommend this business!

Really wonderful service. Easy to call and schedule appointment and when I arrived they got the car right in as planned, minimizing my wait time. The staff including the manager Damian was excellent and was helpful to point out things or recommend only what they felt was needed, or what to keep an eye on for service that might be coming up. Answered any questions I had without a problem. Got out in an expected amount of time as well. Definitely recommend this location more than others.

I got an oil change and was informed of issues I was having with my brakes. The oil change was pretty inexpensive and Im glad I was informed but they also tried to get me to do things to my brakes that would add a few hundred dollars with my bill. I was able to take my car to a different mechanic for a much more reasonable price, and he explained what he was doing with the brakes and why it was or wasnt necessary. Just something to consider

Not only did we find the best price for tires but the service was outstanding. Jacob did the installation and he was extremely professional and courteous. I highly recommend this location for all of your vehicle needs.

I have been taking my vehicles to this VIP for several years and am continuously impressed by the professional, thorough, and friendly service that I receive. I have always had pleasant interactions with the staff. I trust them with all my vehicle maintenance needs. Thank you!

My new tires weren’t cheap but there’s a reason this place is called “VIP” Auto and not “Run of the Mill” Auto. They are professional, courteous, and do a good job. I feel that I got what I paid for and was treated with kindness and respect. The only reason I left 4 stars instead of 5 is because I was told my car would be done around 2 but it wasn’t done until 5. Not a big deal. I will come back here in the future.

Great Experience, the VIP in Gorham on County road was able to accommodate me on last minute notice to service my vehicle although they had a booked schedule. The service was efficient, professional and convenient. Everyone at the shop was friendly and respectful. The waiting area was clean and comfortable with free water and coffee. They also honored my AAA discounts. Overall pleasant experience.

I recently took time out of my day to take my sons truck for an oil change. VIP Gorham has been servicing the truck for some time now so I didnt hesitate to make an appointment. Once again, the experience was quick & easy. The staff is extremely helpful and had the job done in 45 minutes. THANKS VIP!!

This location seems to be very busy so I recommend setting up an appointment. The oil change and tire rotation took less than an hour. I was able to observe the customer service representatives and they definitely were more than helpful to numerous other customers to meet their needs. I will be returning to this location for more service.

I went into Vip with a quote I received, an employee named Brandon was there to help me out. The items I was trying to purchase were quite hard to find and Brandon went out of his way to help me find the tries I needed. Brandon was very kind to acknowledge the fact that I was a Veteran and offered me a discount I didn’t know about and I thought that was great of him, I plan to go back in the future when I need new tires and I’ll be asking for him! He was Pleasant and patient and got the job done! Thanks bub I’m quite pleased!

Horrible Experience. Do NOT go here.Made an appointment for 8:30 for oil change and inspection. When I arrived at 8:20 the representative at the counter said the appointment did not matter that they do not recognize online appointments, I was still going to have to wait, but he would try to get me through quick.Over an hour later they are done. Only performed the oil change, did not do the inspection. The representative called me a liar and said that I did not ask for the inspection. The email confirmations I received from VIP clearly state oil change and inspection. Terrible customer service.Just an Oil change cost me $79.70DO NOT get your oil changed here, go down the road to Prompto, only $35.Will never make the mistake of going to VIP again.

I always try to use mom & pop places when I can, but I really enjoy the service and atmosphere at the Gorham VIP. Theyre easy to work with and knowledgeable. You may have to keep an eye out for extras on your service that you can decline like tire maintenance. Nice group of people. Easy in & out, enjoyable.

Review №24

I brought my son’s car in because of a strange noise from one of the tires. This turned into a long, complicated ordeal in which there were many twists and turns, none of which were the fault of VIP. But at every turn Shane and his crew were kind, professional and sympathetic to our needs and concerns. While this turned out to be complicated and expensive fix, I can’t say enough how accommodating and professional everyone I had contact with were. The car is now running smoothly and I thank them for their effortsI highly recommend taking your vehicle to the Gotham VIP. They are fair and honest and are truly concerned for their customers!

Came here for an inspection and needed a couple of small things to pass (wipers, light bulb, air filter). The technician was super friendly when they called about those things and only charged me for the parts, no labor. The customer service was excellent at the front desk as well, made me feel like I was their only customer.

While visiting Maine from Texas our water pump went out. We called several places and no one had openings for another week, then we called VIP. The first VIP didn’t have an opening but the man (I think his name was Branden) who answered went above and beyond and called other VIPs to see who could help us. VIP at 14 County Road, Gorham Maine took excellent care of us and fixed our thermostat and water pump plus they even gave us a discount. Hats off to the wonderful team there, Shane and Mike! We read some bad reviews and we were worried but now we know not to believe it all, thanks VIP!

Review №27

I needed both headlights replaced. I knew it would be a challenge for me to do in my driveway having to go in through the tire wheel well. Figuring it would be an hours labor, as most garages do for most services,I was surprised when Charlie said the total was Just the price of the bulbs.While also there I saw a young college student very apprehensive about bad news about her car and a different tech came out and said she was all set, there are no issues with the car.They didnt take advantage of her.I will be going back for my next service.

Brandon helped me at this location and he is AMAZING. Polite knowledgable and very helpful in finding a solution to my headlight problem. I had been to 2 garages before Brandon correctly diagnosed the problem and guided me to the solution. This guy is a valuable employee and I was very pleased with the service. I recommended to friends and family this location!! Just wanted you guys to know Brandon is a valuable employee!!

A few weeks back, my wife was experiencing a severe brake noise from our Subaru. After being told by our local dealer we couldn’t get in for over two weeks, we reached out to this location, because they had told us our former service advisor Charlie Sanborn was now at this VIP. Without any hesitation Charlie remembered us and got us in same day! We ended up needing front and rear brakes and rear calipers, he was able to get it all done same day, and go above and Beyond to accommodate my wife. Thanks Charlie for your great service! Great job!

I needed a simple oil change. I booked online, showed up at the chosen time, and my Honda was taken right in. The service manager covered the drivers seat and steering wheel with plastic, taking great care with my car. An oil change is easy service for any mechanic but I was still impressed with the process and service.

I first became aware of this business when I had a very persistent slow air leak in one of my tires. We were new to the Berlin/Gorham NH area, so we just looked for the first Auto Service center with a name we recognized and that was VIP. These people are so nice, courteous, polite, and eager to serve. They found a small nail in the tread of the tire. They fixed it by removing the nail, boring out the hole it left behind, and then they filled that with a rubber plug and a vulcanizing glue. That caused the tire to be slightly out-of-balance, so then they balanced the tire. This was all completed in less than 15 minutes and then the big surprise came in... They did not charge us at all for their work! I could not believe it! Never have I experienced a service center that performed parts & labor work for free. I later found out that some of their services with regard to tires are offered for free as a general rule. Thats really cool!Needless to say, they now are our auto service provider for both of our cars. All of their employees are awesome and very nice to work with. The tires are great and their work is awesome and at a great price too. The shop is nice and clean and they have a waiting room. A bathroom is located out back in the shop. We recently bought our first set of studded winter snow tires from this VIP center and at a great price too. We love them.I highly recommend this VIP Tires & Service Center for anyone needing Tires or work done on their vehicles.Best regards!John

We were traveling back to Conway NH and it started snowing heavily, we had picked up our snow tires but they only had five minutes til they closed. Although they had already closed the register, Richard and Christopher agreed to stay open to put snow tires on for us in order to get home safe. I will forever be grateful for their help and kindness! Thanks so much Richard and Christopher!

I highly recommend this VIP location, and here is why: I walked in very worried, and within 5 minutes I had a solid explanation from a knowledgeable and caring professional. I truly got VIP service! I definitely expected what I usually get from other venues- a quick jacked up price with assurance the most expensive option is my only one. The two employees I worked with deserve a shout out for being transparent and professional- I sadly do not have the card with their names- Thank you for being so kind and helpful.I left happy, my car left happy, and every question I had was answered respectfully- they are setting a great example for how individuals should be treated in any customer service setting! Clean and safe waiting area, hand sanitizer, coffee/tea if you are waiting. My knowledge of cars is far from ample, and that can be very intimidating on a budget. I was given options, information and a price that beat my previous quote (from another vender) by an amount that raised my brow. This reflects honesty and THAT is care for customers- you can’t pay for peace of mind, but I certainly had it walking out of the VIP in Gorham! My date of service was 5/7 9:15am. If you have any anxiety like I do, if you are on a budget, if you worry ‘are they being honest with me?’ take a drive over and speak to honest folks, truly. I only write reviews for businesses that speak for themselves. Thanks again guys!!!!!!! Keep up the awesome work! I know where I will be going with any and all further (knock wood) car issues and maintenance and will absolutely be referring my neighbors as well. :)

3 months ago I wrote an awesome review because I had a great experience, the second visit I had was quite the opposite. Last week I purchased 4 new tires and had them installed at the Gorham location. Spent almost $1,000 at this store even after others told me to never use VIP for service, that my truck would come out worse than it did going in. And thats exactly what happened. I drove my truck straight home and when I started it up the next day, my ABS light was on and also my traction control light was on. I called VIP and was told to come in and they would look at it. I spent 4 hours at this shop for them to tell me they couldnt fix the issue. They replaced a sensor but the lights were still on and thats all the effort that was put into helping me. I was told to bring it somewhere else and that the work they performed had nothing to do with the lights coming on, it must have been a coincidence. This is completely not fair, not okay and downright bad business. Already in a tight spot financially because of this pandemic I was ecstatic to finally purchase new tires. Now I have to bring my truck to another shop, come up with the money to have them try and fix it and hopefully get my inspection sticker by April. I dont usually give bad reviews but this was unacceptable to me. I will never step foot in another VIP unless they are willing to right their wrong and help fix the lights they caused to come on. It was quite the coincidence.

I routinely use this store anything from state inspections, trailer tire replacement, even purchasing new tires. I keep coming back because the staff are very pleasant to deal with and they do a good job with whatever I bring them for work.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. We were stuck on the road and they fit us in. Richard at the front desk was super helpful and very accomodating. Chris, our tech, we so nice and went above and beyond. I am from Georgia and will probably never make it through again, but I had to leave a review because Chris and Richard were as top-shelf as they come...

Review №81

Took my truck in for four new tires and a front end alignment. After I left the truck was pulling to the right so I took it back the next day and they put it on the lift and then told me the the alignment was fine and that something must be bent so I believe them, then took it to a real shop and was told that VIP didnt even touch the alignment bolts iSo in the end I lost two of the 4 new tires VIP is a joke well at least in Gorham NH.

Review №94

I ordered my tires last week on Monday. I was told it would take 2-3 days for them to come in and they would call me to schedule a time for them to be put on. I heard nothing. I called on Sunday to inquire about the status and was told the tires Had come in. I scheduled an appointment for Monday. I went in today for my appointment. Brandy was cheery and professional to check me in. I was told the wait would be an hour. Approximately 50 mins later my husband arrived and told me my car was outside with new tires. I went to the desk, paid over $700 and left to find that my tires had not been studded- a service I had ordered, asked about when I called to schedule the appointment AND when I checked in. I went back in and was told it would be another 40 minutes. I left to get lunch and returned and the car was ready with studded tires. Approximately 15 miles later, a tire warning light has come on in my car. I AM NOT HAPPY! Obviously its likely a sensor that was incorrectly installed, but this is a MAJOR annoyance since I live 30+ miles from VIP. This is my second bad experience at this location. I would be unlikely to use them again except for the fact that I paid for the tire warranty and will expect them to install my tires next year. Sigh.Edited to add: An employee called me the next day to try to make this right. They invited me to come in to inspect the tires and reset the tire light. They were friendly and professional. They also gave me some coupons for future use for the inconvenience. That wasn’t necessary but I certainly appreciate the sentiment.
