I’m trying! 2nd shop in barre-Montpelier area, and another in Waterbury. Definitely open to hearing suggestions.

Try Montpelier auto clinic? They are honest mechanics there.

Montpelier auto clinic is great! I was one of the folks who opened it and though I left, I cannot speak more highly of the crew down there. Also, The Source, out on rt 2 heading towards east Montpelier is another fantastic shop I have personally worked for that strives to be open and honest

Stony Brook Auto in Northfield. John Lambert is a standup guy.

John is amazing and VERY trustworthy! I lucked into going to his shop by chance when I first moved here and he has never given me the runaround on anything! Wonderful person and excellent service!

I’m glad he moved into White’s shop. Getting to him during mud season was always a challenge.

R&J Service Center on North Main St. in Barre is an honest shop, or if you’re in Montpelier you could try Perry’s service station on State St. Both smaller outfits with honest mechanics.

Might be a bit of a drive for you, but Night Owl in Fairlee and WRC in Chelsea are both awesome.
