Second time back to this location. Great appointment, great service, and excellent crew. Best price around for the tires I wanted. Dropped the car and it was done exactly when I asked. Mike and the guys were extremely nice and pleasant to work with. Will definitely go back! Thank you.
I went in for my auto inspection, (by the way they have the best rate) and they did a through inspection. They found that I needed wheel alignment which saves on having to get new tires. They have a great team at VIP, some of whom I met at a different tire service and I know to be aces at thier trade. What a releif it was to see them there...boast my confidence in the work done on my car. If you want the job done right...go to VIP!!!
I went there for an oil change since I got a post card welcoming me to the neighborhood with a free oil change. I called and scheduled an appointment and got in when I wanted. The employees were very friendly and the service was great. They not only gave me an oil change but did a quick inspection of the car and checked its alignment as well at no extra cost. They are also proud supporters of the military and give the following discounts:Free State Inspections (ME/NH/VT Only)$10 Off Every Oil Change5% Off Tire Purchases5% Off Parts & LaborI highly recommend this place and will be going back.
More like a 4.5!Context: Have used them in the past with what I would call varying results.NOTE: New staff, new Service Management Team. HUGE Difference.Have brought 2 cars in the past 2 days and am comfortable and satisfied.The team found issues with my wifes car and went what I would call above and beyond to get the extra items (some of them safety related) completed.Will go back, and would hope the review constitutes a rational thought out recommendation.Go and see Michael Long and his team. I found them polite, professional, courteous.Men of their word, in an age where those traits are rate.Thanks for the great communication gentlemen.Keep your team intact!
Got me in last minute and got it done by the end of the day! Great costumer service.
I got new tires in April from Vip.Justin and his staff are awesome. I called to see if they could plug my tire at 2:00PM after getting a nail stuck in tire, and they got me in same day.I work overnights and didnt want to chance getting stuck on side of road.Thank you guys so very much :)
They were so helpful when I came with a low tire pressure light on. They replaced my tire caps for free! Very kind and accommodating.
These guys are amazing. Seriously. Not only were that so straight forward with me, they were amazing with my rambunctious 2 year old daughter.Michael is so knowledgeable and articulate.Youll love your experience! Trust me!
A new employee screwed up the estimate for something - told me $200 (twice) when it should have been $600.When I went to pay, Justin (manager) figured out what had happened and adjusted the bill back down to $200 immediately. I didn’t need to argue, complain, or even ask - he just took care of it.It’s refreshing to see customer service done right and to have businesses stand by their word.
Needed new wheels and tires for my 2008 Honda CR-V. Service Manager, Mike Long, was able to find just the right rims and tires to make my car look and feel brand new. The upgrade was fast, the service was courteous, and the aftermarket equipment was better than OEM.
Had a rear brake issue and Jason got us in and new brakes and Rotors quickly. Great service and communication. Highly recommended.
The service team at VIP has been phenomenal for us. Theyve taken care of our cars for more than a decade -- from oil changes to major repairs -- and theyve always been exceptionally courteous and reliable at a fair price. Highly recommend!
My car drives much better!:-)
I have been going to VIP for years for oil and tires, always great service at this site in particular.
Great service, very knowledgeable and friendly to boot! - Explained the work needed on my car in a way I could understand. They even went out of their way to drive me home when it was going to be longer than I thought. Highly recommended!
3 weeks ago I gave them a 1 star review. I spoke to the staff who was more than responsive to my concerns. Tried them again today and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were much more friendly and attentive. Thank you.
Had state inspection performed. New wiper blades installed. Excellent service (on time, courteous).
Quick and easy inspection, I’m going back for an oil change soon!
Great service again, Mike was awesome and the work was done quickly!!
The service was very professional and fast. This has been the truth not only on my last visit but on all of them. I would definitely recommend this VIP location. Special thanks to Michael Long for his customer service!
Great service and prices were low
I have nothing but good things to say about my service experience at VIP. I came in for an oil change and to find the source of a loud tapping noise coming from the front of my car. Mike was very courteous and professional when checking my car in. It was a Sunday and there was only 1 tech on that day so I told him I could leave the car until Monday if necessary. A couple hours after drop off, Mike called to tell me the noise was from the undercarriage plastic shield. It wasnt a part that VIP could get, but he offered me a solution at a very reasonable price. One hour later the car was done and I picked it up before closing. Very happy customer.
Very helpful when I had an appointment to get tires I had brought with me. Upon arriving, I found out that my tires I had loaded in the car and brought with me were the wrong size. The gentleman working was quick to show me tires that were in my price range. Even though they were 20 mins until close they were able to mount and balance my tires and get me back in the road safely. I would go back anytime.
I was impressed with the customer service I received today from Justin Saba! He made sure my cars maintenance was completed in a timely and efficient manner as well as got a tire from another location so that replacement could be taken care of today too. There was no nickel and diming me for additional service. Sincerely appreciate the communication. Ill be back!
Quick work and great customer service
I have just recently moved to the Stratham area from the North Shore of Boston and was looking for a local place to start to take my car to be serviced. I figured I would stop in to have a quick oil change. The guys who helped me were VERY helpful right from the beginning! Super professional on the phone and in person. We were in & out in no time and they explained everything they were going to do, as well as what we needed to do for our vehicle in the future. From here on out we will be bringing all 3 of our vehicles here to be serviced!Thanks again!
This place has been exceptional for my auto needs. I moved to NH 3 years ago and every winter/spring I change out my all season/winter tires on my personal and commercial cars. I have never had issues with appointments, wait times, customer service, or any employees. They even went above and beyond one time and plugged a tire for me because they found a nail in it that i had no idea about. They are excellent to work with and their lift could accommodate my heavy work van.
Excellent service! Quick and professional, including a quick check through for my vehicle to make sure it’s safe including some repair/maintenance recommendations. Michael Long delivered excellent customer service- will be coming back again soon!
Inspection was performed and here and they discovered I had 3 bulbs out the fixed this issue and was not expensive. Very friendly and professional service.
I have had nothing but top notch service from VIP in Stratham! I sheared the oil drain plug off in my Mustang somehow? And all I was charged was a 1/2 hour shop fee! With an offer to put in My oil! Which I did saving me money. I will be doing future business here for sure.
It is nice to be able to add another good review to the pile. VIP in Stratham is the right combination of old-school auto-parts store combined with factory-quality auto repair. Weve had both Euro and Japanese cars worked on by them; all of the work was reasonably priced, done right, and done fast. If youre in the area, theyre your ticket.
Dudes are great. Quick service and easy to book.
Best experience for car service Ive EVER had. Justin and team were great,prompt,friendly,informative. This store will be my first choice for service . Thanks Justin.
Had an emergency and needed a tire repaired and wouldnt fix tire because they were working on an altenator. Thanks for the help.
I received excellent service for new tires and a state inspection at the Stratham, NH location. The Service Manager, Michael, was very helpful in reviewing my options. I highly recommend them!
The management seemed to change this year. A lot of the older good reviews are accurate regarding customer service and price.This last time I went in for a state inspection my car failed due to brake pads and pitted/rusted rotors. This was going to cost me 450 if I went though them. I typically do my own brakes so I took it back to my house to install new rotors and brake pads. When I jacked up the car and started looking at the rotors they looked perfectly fine but the brake pads did need to be replaced so I put the brake pads on. Brought it back the next day and it passed inspection.Shockingly it passed inspection! without me replacing the rotors! After the said it passed, I went in and told them the rotors were fine and that I did not replace them. First they tried making an excuse saying that it looked like they were worked on and when I told them that I did the job and all I did was replace the pads, the manager said was that he was not the mechanic so he cannot speak to it, yet he was perfectly fine telling me the previous day that I needed to replace them.I would be skeptical of the high rating on google as I would imagine a lot of this is from the past management.
Great place for an oil change quick and friendly great price !
Two hour wait, no employees wearing masks as advertised, no sanitation of vehicle or waiting room between customers, forgot to put valve stems caps on wheels.
Took my car into VIP Tires & Service in Stratham based on a referral from my neighbor. She has been using them for years and had nothing but wonderful things to say about them. I got an inspection sticker as well as a variety of other routine maintenance items done (without an appointment even--they squeezed me right in) and I couldnt be happier. The staff was professional and knowledgeable and the price fair. I will definitely be back!
Very friendly staff.They always get me right in when I call, and provide fast, efficient service. And always at a fair price!
Friendly staff, a clean waiting area and competitive pricing is what you find at this location. I take all three of my vehicles here because they have earned my trust. I am currently having A/C issues and they are one of the only shops around that have the capability to diagnose and repair it. I highly recommend the Stratham VIP location to anyone in the area looking for any type auto repairs.
Michael Long at VIP is the perfect picture of customer service. We had a small snafu that was not his fault but he more than made up for it in the service to us. We bring all of our cars here and will continue to for everything from new tires, oil changes and services, to just switching out of snow tires and regular tire sets. I couldnt recommend them more!
I stopped to buy a battery for my wife’s car after testing it myself and had intended to bring it home and install it myself but the car wouldn’t start when I went to leave. Although they had offered to install it from the start at this point I figured why not. A very nice young woman named Kat came out and not only changed out the battery but also put a test on the alternator and on the battery again just to be sure and to confirm my diagnosis. I was very impressed with Kat abilities and professionalism.
I talked to Justin on the phone 10 minutes before closing time, and he quoted me a price for 4 new tires for my RAV4. I called the next day after shopping around, and VIP had the best price out of the 4 places I looked at. I went in at 3:00 that same day and left about 4:30. Dan was fantastic about other things that needed to be looked at without pushing me to get it done there. Joe told me he would get me some estimates and email them to me and I got them today. Very friendly, no pressure, and it was not painful like I thought it would be. I recommend this VIP location to anyone who needs tires, or more.
Great service work, Great Customer service. I would recommend taking your car here.
I had a great experience at VIP auto. They changed my front blinker light at a very affordable cost. They happily checked the air pressure on my tires and added more air at no cost. I highly recommend you take your car to get serviced here.
These folks took care of my inspection at no charge! GREAT reason to not go to the dealer! My car was ready sooner than the time planned! KAT was incredible moving things along.Had a tire replaced was half the quote of the franchised dealer! AWESOME place great service and savings! Paul A
Really great service, my donut was put back away nicely and very satisfied with my service Saturday
I highly recommend bringing your car here!The staff is amazing, they do things in a timely manner, and are incredibly kind. I will definitely be back!
Very friendly service. They discovered a problem with my oil filter plug, which had been causing a leak. Ive had several oil changes at other businesses over the past year, and no one else diagnosed the problem. It was an easy fix, and now no more leak! Thank you!
VIP is great! I come to them with everything. The staff is always friendly, efficient and takes the time to explain everything they are doing with my vehicle and why.
Always had good luck with service and inspection stickers here. Ive been going here for 6 years without any issues
We went in for 2 new tires, Katelynn Long was amazing. She was very helpful and outgoing. They saw I needed a oil change so I got one too. I would highly recommend this place for all you auto needs
Superbly professional!
Staff does not try to force services on you that you dont need. Helpful suggestions on what needs to be done and alternate ways that may not cost as much. I trust their advice and will continue to get service here.
VIP is the place to go! I recommend them to everyone! Justin is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to educate me on the mechanical stuff I wanted to understand in order to take better care of my car. He answered all of my many questions and was able to explain everything in a way that someone with no car knowledge would understand. I told him I was preparing my car with lots of mileage for a cross country road trip and his team performed a free check up on it and told me what they recommended for up keep, along with a very thorough check up on the car overall. Every location I have been to has excellent customer service and mechanics who will advocate for you, rather than just take your money. So refreshing!Joe is very helpful, takes time to explain basic auto mechanics to lay people like myself, and gives realistic expectations for car care. I would never go to any other chain, VIP is the best!
Vip has been my go to option whenever dealing with repairs for my car. Great employees, fair prices, and quality work. Highly suggest
5 Star ServiceI brought my car to two other garages to get the air conditioning fixed and they both gave me the run around. I brought it to VIP and they took the time to diagnose and fix the problem. They even took me home and picked me up when they finished. I dont remember the name of the young lady who chauffeured me but she spoke very knowledgeably about tires and I will be buying my tires from them the next time I need them.Justin and this young lady were extremely helpful, they really made me feel like a VIP!
They people at VIP are wonderful and were able to replace my tires the day of. They were available to work on Sunday which was less common than I thought. They are great if you need unexpected work done!
We have had great support from Justin, Joe and the team. We have gotten two cars new tires in the last two months and feel like we were recommended the right tires and not some over priced tires we would have recommended elsewhere. The third car goes in this week!! Thank you for great service.
I made an appointment to find out what was wrong with my ac. Told them the clutch wasn’t engaging, and that it was fully charged. Was quoted a price of $125 for them to diagnose it. Dropped it off at my scheduled time, was told 1.5 hours. 2 hours later I still hadn’t heard back from them. Went to get an update on the status and was told that they needed to get a diagnose to really understand what was going on. That they could tell the clutch wasn’t catching and it was reading fully charged (all info I gave them days prior). I confronted them asking what they were doing for the 2 hours they had it and he said he just looked it over. He also wanted to give me a price for a new compressor even though he had no idea what was wrong with it. I had brought a friend with me who use to be a mechanic and he asked about other things like sensors and things that could also make the clutch not engage. The mechanic agreed to the other things but said he wouldn’t know for sure what was causing it without diagnosing it first. At this point I was so angry, not because he wasted 2 hours of my time but also because he was going to try and sell me something he wasn’t even sure I needed. I asked for my car and left. I will never go back again.
Needed quite a number of things done to my older suv with over 200k, including a state inspection. Work was completed in a fair amount of time and for what they estimated, much less than I had feared when I walked through the door.
VIP tires and service are so amazing... going above and beyond making my day...
Have always had a great experience here. Convenient hours and open on the weekends.
VIP Tires and Service completed my car inspection promptly and performed a comprehensive review of any maintenance my car was due to have. An estimate was calculated Before appointment scheduled so no surprises. I would recommend VIP for any car repairs/oil changes/tires .
I recently purchased 4 tires for my wifes vehicle. About two weeks later, she got a nail in the sidewall of a rear tire. VIP had a new tire installed and had us safely back on the road within an hour of walking in the door! Great staff, great service and great experience.
Management change? I have been going to VIP in Stratham for 4+ years. I have always had great experiences and amazing customer service there. I really liked it when the person who answered the phone “knew” me by name. (I know this was because my phone # was in the system)but nevertheless, the friendly, professional service went a long way towards developing confidence and trust in VIP in Stratham, setting them apart from other similar automotive service centers.Unfortunately, this personal customer service has all but disappeared. The last 2 times that I have called, instead of being recognized as a repeat/regular customer, I am treated as just another nameless customer. When I arrive to check in, I am no longer made to feel as though I am a priority. Instead, I have waited 10 minutes to be checked in, with 3 employees either on the phone, or on the computer and a line of customers, none of whom were being helped. Today, after being asked if I brought my registration in with me, (I did not, but I knew my mileage) I was asked to wait so the employee (wearing a neck gaiter, not a mask) could bring back 1, then 2 work orders out back before taking my keys. I had actually begun to wonder if he was coming back.Aside from the lack of “personal” service, the attention to details and cleanliness that I could depend on is gone, replaced with greasy prints on my white leather seats, the oil change reminder sticker, forgotten. This time, the debris left on my dashboard from changing the inspection sticker and again, the oil change reminder sticker-missing. Small, but important details, when added together begin the erosion -when customer service and attention to details are not a priority, customer confidence declines. During the last 5 visits to VIP in Stratham, they recommended new tires, which I knew that I was due for. When I called, I paid a lot of money for all 4 tires, only to find out about the specials that began the following week... imagine my surprise that I had not been given a heads up and offered a choice to take advantage of this upcoming special? When VIP recommended new tires, they also told me that I needed new rear struts. During this service, rear struts then morphed into replacing all 4 struts because somehow no one had noticed before that one of the front struts was bent. This addition more than doubled the estimated cost.Since having the struts and tires replaced, there is an unexplained noise somewhere in the front end (I purchased quiet tires to lessen the road noise) When I brought the car in and asked about this, I was told it’s probably my bearings. (No play in the wheels, but could be causing the noise) So, I received another estimate. Today’s visit for oil change and inspection resulted in another estimate for rear brakes.There was a time when I would not question the recommendations for work to my car, however, I have become rather skeptical and have begun to question the integrity of the recommendations that I am receiving from VIP in Stratham. Not wanting to write them off, I checked the reviews just to find out if anyone else had experienced the same degradation in services as I have and sure enough, there it was, an almost identical inspection/brakes scenario, which resulted in a customer questioning the integrity of the service and a loss of confidence in customer service at VIP in Stratham.In closing, Over the years, I have recommended VIP to my sons, friends and colleagues. How very disappointing it is to have to say that my confidence in VIP of Stratham has turned into the same distrust and wariness that I feel when going to any ordinary automotive repair shop. It is so difficult to find good, honest automotive care but if you do, the relief is palpable. I dare say, it’s also empowering to those of us who depend on these services to keep our automobiles running safely and in top condition. I am sorry to write that since the new store manager (assistant?)has taken over, VIP in Stratham is no longer a place to trust for customer focused, honest, quality automotive care.
This is the best VIP Ive ever been to. So accommodating and top notch customer service.
I always have a pleasant experience here, never a long wait. Joe and Justin are the best, and super friendly! Thank you guys for being the best VIP!
Ive been coming here for years and the customer service is great. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I dont know very much about cars, but theyre always able to explain the work to me in a way I can understand. Theyre honest about what needs to be done, but theyll also tell me whats a priority and what I can wait on if its not in my budget at the time, which I appreciate.
These guys are friendly and awesome! Highly recommended
Went down and spoke with Michael the Manager. Great service went the extra mile to put together a tire package for me matching a competitors price even when I missed the competitors fine print.
Went here for inspection and for an oil change. Some issues came up and were addressed promptly by the team at VIP.
Thank you VIP for all the years of service to our 3 vehicles. Just recently our car needed an alternator and they were able to do the job repair the next day. If you need an inspection, oil change, brakes or any other auto service, I highly recommend VIP for all your service needs
The service here was amazing! We cant thank them enough.Today, we were on our way home to Maine and our car overheated.Being a Sunday, we thought we were going to have to wait but hey took our car in right away and found it just needed a clamp.Not only were they fast. But they didnt charge us anything. We definitely appreciate it, what a Christmas gift. Special thanks to John and Justin!
The team at Stratham location did a great job getting my F350 back on the road in time so we could hook up the camper and hit the road.Thank you
Justin’s team does a great job. With my recent oil change, they went above and beyond as always. They got me in and out on time and checked the whole car. They advised me that my rear brakes were worn and put a quote together for me. They let me know about specials they had going & even backed my car in out front so it was all ready for me to go.Thanks!!!
I have dealt mostly with Justin and Joe. I always feel like they are being straight with me. I have grown to count on their knowledge over the years. Thanks guys!I need to add to this. I have had Jose working on my car recently from VIP and this young man is amazing! Very polite and professional as well as knowledgeable. I am so grateful for the guys at VIP!
I have been really impressed with the Statham location of VIP auto! I recently moved to the area and found the store sort of by accident and am so glad I did! The nicest people work there and they’re extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Service is always quick and customer-focused and the shop is bright and inviting. So glad to have this great service in my neighborhood!
Amazing staff and amazing service!! Justin mike and Nathan are the crew to service your vehicles!!
Michael was a huge help taking care of a tricky problem I was having with my tires. Good prices and service, knowledgeable staff, I definitely feel like I got value for my money.
Love this place. Easy to get in for service. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend them.I concur with the other reviewers that Justin is great!
I have been going to VIP in Stratham for years now and have nothing but great things to say! The staff is very knowledgeable and professional. I recommend to anyone who is looking for auto services. Very friendly staff!!!
I went in for an inspection and the service was great and quick. The guys there suggested a few things to get done on my car, but weren’t pushy and I appreciated that. Will definitely be going back! Thank you.
The crew at VIP continue to show excellent customer service and exhibit superior knowledge with every issue I have came to them with. You can really tell they care about their customers and will help us in anyway they can.
Great place to get tires, very friendly and willing to work with customers. Highly recommend.
For starters, they gave me the option for three different tires with prices and no pressure to buy. The employees are honest, friendly, and treat customers like a human being.Their timing was as they said two hours and thats great. I did buy four goodyear tires and enjoy the peace of safety. I have told Family and Friends VIP is the place to buy tires and stuff. Thank You For ALL you do. Be Well
Very friendly and helpful. They are always available to take your car in last minute. I would recommend coming here for your car needs.
Nice people and prices are competitive with others
Went yesterday, they were very helpful and answered all of my questions. Back again for another oil change may 3, 2021. Friendly service, good experience overall.
These guys are super helpful and friendly. They do a great job
I went in for my inspection sticker and to my surprise i was told it was free due to a promotion. the staff was awesome. very friendly and informative about what i needed done in the future. the customers i was sitting with all seemed very happy with how they have been treated there. i will for sure be going back for service in the near future.as im leaving they surprise me again with this card to give a review for a free oil change on my next visit for my wheel alignment and are happy to drop me off at work down the street while the work is being done to my truck and pick me up when its ready. how much better can it get. love this place.
My husbands car had a laundry list of problems, and the staff at VIP Tires did a phenomenal job carefully explaining the issues, working with us to come up with a cost effective solution, and being patient with our questions.
Found this place several years ago after Valvoline tried to charge me $100 for a synthetic oil change!? Theyve been great. Nice staff, well-run, reasonable prices and Ive never had an issue with any of the work.
Went for state inspection without appointment. I was told it would take an hour and a half so I decided to wait. I ended up waiting 2 hours so they just didn’t charge me. No complaints, they just didn’t charge me. I was impressed.
Although my wait was long this time its not usually the case. The staff took care of everything, were very good about answering questions and kept the line moving pretty quickly. Great service as always making me a very happy customer.
Great service! Honest & Reliable Staff! Ive brought my last 3 vehicles here!
The staff there is so friendly and professional. Ive gone to them for all my vehicle maintenance for years now. Thanks Stratham VIP!! 🙂
I had great service at the VIP in Stratham, NH. Very friendly and professional, they were on time, explained everything, and their prices are excellent.
