I got a flat tire on the highway while traveling 2 hours home for an important family event and was in a big rush and the manager, Dennis, and employee, Josh, were so kind and helpful. They were able to get me a new tire and out of there within an hour and I was able to make it home in time. I am so grateful for all of their help and will definitely be using VIP again in the future. Thanks again!
They are efficient about getting you an appointment. Always been pleasant, with excellent quick service. Would recommend them to anyone!
I visited the Westbrook location for an oil change first thing in the morning without an appointment and they were very nice and able to take my car in right away! I was not there for long and the process was extremely easy. Highly recommend!!
I went to VIP this morning for an inspection and check. John was able to do all the services I needed and faster then I thought it would take. I use VIP all the time because of their honesty and quality of work. I would recommend them to anyone. They have done basic services and more complex ones alike. I will always return to this VIP😊
I had oil changed in two vehicles and inspection sticker on two other vehicles all one after the other. Great service I will definitely keep using their services. Great work guys and gals
I had my tires rotated at VIP on Riverside Street in Westbrook, Maine. The experience was great. They scheduled me at a time that worked for me and were very professional at the service desk. Brendan, an employee there, took extra time to explain some repairs that my car will need and prioritized which repairs were most important at this time. He was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. I will recommend VIP toall my friends who need car service, tires etc..
These guys are awesome! I had a flat tire a few days before I stopped in there(no appt. and they looked at my car within an hour). I asked them to check out the tire to see if I needed a new one. They were honest and the guy that came out to talk to me said he did t see anything wrong with it. It’s been fine ever since. They could’ve sold me a new tire when I didn’t need one but they were honest! Great experience overall!
These guys are fantastic! Very professional and accommodating. Traveling from Augusta to Hartford, we had a problem. We stopped in and they took us immediately, found the problem, and got us underway within 30 minutes. Roy, our mechanic spent the time to explain the problem and fixed it quickly. Brendon and Josh in the front office were professional and cared what they were doing. Great experience. I highly recommend VIP.
I had got a front end alignment a month earlier and my front end was still had a shake in it so I went back thinking that my friend in alignment wasnt done correctly. Upon further investigation the mechanic told me that my wheels needing balance. I have purchased tires 6 months previous and they were installed incorrectly the mechanic at VIP correct the problem my balancing my tires and Im grateful and good looking out good job
Brendan and Roy helped me out the day I called. They were friendly and helpful and everything I could ask for in an auto body shop. I’ll definitely be coming here for all of my future auto repair needs
After standing at the counter and being actively ignored for 10 minutes (the guy glanced over at me multiple times but made no attempt to at least acknowledge my presence while standing there in silence), I politely waved and asked the heavy set tattooed hipster-haired registrar to try to get some service. He rolled his eyes, put the phone on hold and very dismissively asked : “ Um, can i do something for you?”I wanted to say “I mean, I’m standing here…” I understand people have bad days but that was atrocious service. Instead, I said “no, not anymore, thank you.”I have spent over 5k at this location in the last few years and the only redeeming factor was the old manager making sure we got good service. He’s gone now so to heck with this place.
Not only would I recommend this place to my friends and family, I would insist on it, a young man there (Brendan) saved my life this week by spotting a serious safety issue! thank god (and Brendan) and now I’m back on the road again! Service was so professional and prompt I really can say enough good things
Wonderfully fresh food. Prompt meals. Clean. Delicious infused water and teas. Would definitely recommend.
Great experience. Got right in and got right out. Brendan the service desk manager was super helpful. And a great price point for what we had done.
Great experience with my car inspection. Clearly stated what had to be done, versus things that could wait. They even let me go back home to get a different set of tires during my appointment so they could put them on to replace the old ones. Will definitely go back.
I have been coming to this VIP for about 3 years now. They are always fair and friendly. They explain whats going on with your car very well and even take you out to the garage to show you whats going on. Love this place
I purchased a new set of tires as well as an oil change and service was speedy and friendly, the techs even dropped $15 off per tire and threw in a few other small discounts when I learned I needed an alignment. On my second visit for an oil change and a look over the tech discovered that my shock mounts were broken and my shocks were past their prime. I gave the go ahead to replace both the shocks and the mounts and low and behold those parts are very hard to find! After the manager Dennis called over 10 places hunting down the parts, he found them and got me an appointment as soon as he would have them. I got a brief walkthrough of my car in the shop and hearing a professional technicians opinion of the current state of my vehicle or even just hearing how dark the oil comes out is invaluable and I look forward to it each time I come back to VIP. After a year in Portland shopping around for a quality shop I am a convert and will take my car back to VIP from here on out.
The staff at this location are amazing. I went to get my winter tires put on, and Karen was wonderful. She was honest with me about the life of my tires, and even marked which tire should be installed where to get me the best traction on the ice and snow. I always get reliable service here, and they never try to upsell me or trick me into paying for things I dont need. They even told me that I did not need another alignment when I requested one, saving me quite a bit of money! For the trustworthiness factor alone, they get 5 stars from me. I go to them for all of my routine maintenance.
Had a fantastic experience at the VIP. I woke up with a dead battery and was afraid no one would be able to replace it same day. I called the VIP in Westbrook and they offered to squeeze me in! They were quick, efficient, and very friendly. I sat comfortably in the waiting area and had a new battery in no time! Thanks VIP!
The customer service was great and the employees were super friendly and fast! Best deal for a Mini Cooper oil change in town :)
Great, fast service. Got a flat, they didnt have my tire on hand but ordered it and it came quickly. Everyone was very friendly and I appreciate the calls keeping me informed on the progress. Definitely recommend VIP.
Wonderful service. Great place to do business. People you can trust.
This place is great! Very clean, very professional, and very friendly. You know that feeling when you leave a mechanic with more problems and less money than you started with? NEVER at this place. They give you estimates before they start the work so you always know exactly what youre paying for and my car always leaves in tip-top shape! Ask for Karen when youre there. Shes the best!
Always greeted with friendly faces and very personable which is important when you feel like you dont know what is going on with your car. I know my car will be in good hands at VIP!
Very knowledgeable and friendly employees and good prices on top brand tires are what keep us returning to this store for our tire needs. Highly recommend them.
John did an amazing job. Thank you so much
If I could give zero stars, I would. Car died in parking lot with 4 month old baby, stuck here with me (mom). Hot summer day. Just needed help getting a battery installed and I was told they MIGHT be able to get it done end of day. Pretty lame.
The manager, Brendan McCarthy, is the best!! He has given me nothing but top notch customer service from day one! Its been hard to find a mechanic I trust, but I will definitely be back!
OmgWhat a life saver these people are! Yesterday, I could have lost my engine in my car; I had gotten an oil change two weeks ago at another location, and apparently they forgot to screw a cap back on? (Im terrible with cars) my engine light came on, and I had to pull over immediately. It was five minutes before their closing time. I called this location because it was right around the corner from where I was pulled over, and they were nice enough to not only talk to me on the phone, but even though they were close to closing they said to come on over. Not only did they explain to me what happened and did not make me feel rushed, but they filled my car with more oil and put a new cap on! (Didnt charge me either!) They were shocked that I even made it there to begin with, because my car had run out of oil entirely. Cant say Im happy with the Windham location right now because of their negligence; I could have had a serious problem ...but thanks to Portland my car is fine now!! A million thanks!
This was the most respected I’ve ever felt when interacting with a business! You just can’t find professionalism like this anymore!
The Westbrook location is awesome! Anytime I’ve needed work done, they have been able to get me in THAT DAY! They even bring you into the bay to show you what is wrong with your vehicle
I had a great experience having my car inspection done here, very polite staff, was in and out in under an hour and whole inspection was done and I was on my way, will definitely be going back when my car needs work done, thank you to all the staff
Such amazing service!!! Being a women it’s hard to trust mechanics when it comes to what is best for my car but they have never made me doubt them! Always bring my car here for everything and will always.My main location is in Westbrook
Great Friendly service. I will recommend them to Everyone
They saw me in between appointments on a busy day. My shocks had blown out and I was stuck, they helped me out.Really great guys!
Excellent service! Great price!
I had four new tires and an alignment and was very pleased with the work and the courtesy of the employees.
I told them I had to be at work at 3 they got my car in and done in no time . Very helpful
Quick service, worth my drive!
VIP Tires and Auto does a great job. I had to make a last minute change to my appointment, and they were awesome to work with on scheduling. They have a clean, comfortable waiting area and good wifi so I was able to get work done.
Alignment and State inspection on 2010 Prius. Great service. Everyone was extremely courteoius and helpful. Did an overall inspection of my vehicle and told me the things I would need in the future with no pressure to do the work immediately. I highly recommend VIP Auto in Portland
Great VIP! They are always thorough and really good at explaining what happened to your car and what needs to be done. Ive been going there for a couple years and they havent let me down!
I was very happy with the service I received @ the Riverside St in Westbrook ME location. The staff was professional and courteous.
I Received very fast & professional service from this Vip tire in portland for my oil change today. I appreciate this company so much I always go to them when I need my car serviced. Great deals! Also Emily is a fantastic employee, courteous and sweet, and I very much enjoy my experience everytime i visit vip tire and this location is especially great!!!
Good, quick work! Great customer service and decent rates!
Brendan helped me out of a jam. He was super busy but fit me in anyway!
VIP Tires were professional and timely when changing my tire. I would recommend to anyone with auto trouble
I went in for a state inspection and was hit with $1,200.00 bill. I was told I had an oil leak, two lights out and needed my tires and tie rods replaced. Turns out all I actually needed were tires and an alignment. Sincerely disappointed to learn they wanted me to get unnecessary repairs.
Wonderful service! 5/5
Got 4 new tires and an alignment done at Riverside. Great service, didnt take too long either. Will be back again!
A family member needed a battery and service. Mike was amazing. He went above and beyond to assist me, given I am out of state. If I were local, this would be my go-to service location. I will recommend my family member continue receiving auto repair service from the Westbrook location.
Vip in Westbrook, Maine is great! They were fast, thorough and have friendly service. Ill definitely be back!
Fast - friendly -clean -
Had a tire bead sealed and work was done expertly at a good price.
This place saved me on a Sunday when I had a screw in my tire and needed a patch. They were the only place open and they got us in and out in 15 minutes for next to no money, and were so nice on top of that. Being over two hours from home I was worried we had no options but alas, we were saved. Thank you guys so much!
I showed up for my tires to be changed out today and it seems the wrong tires arrived. They made the effort to go to their supplier and get the correct size tire for my car. In the meantime they did an oil change! Now I don’t have to go out to the dealership afterwards for an oil change. The people I’ve spoken with over the phone have been super helpful and knowledgeable too. My car will be very happy after today.
I’ve been going to VIP for 2 years now. I appreciate the great care they take of me! Greatly appreciated, nice work!! Biggest Thanks!
I have been a customer for about ten years. They are honest, reliable, and competitively priced.
Seemed like they just wanted my money. The guy said the brakes and the clutch were bad but when I got in the car he left it in third gear so it stalled immediately which made me question his knowledge about manual vehicles, also in one breath he told me all the repairs I needed and then the next breath he said all you have to do is an oil change in the car every 3000 miles in order for it to keep running, questionable mechanic
Brendan and Roy were very helpful and personable.
Update! Mike the acting supervisor made me feel like my concerns were not neglected. He reached out to me the following business day and sincerely apologized and took care of me and my truck. I will use VIP again in the future. Thank you again!
It was so satisfying after I thought Id have a flat after going through a td Atm in Gorham, maine .I heard a long Echoing of sounded to me like I popped tire. NOW THIS WAS 10 MIN.OF Closeling .I dont have a spare cause there so expensive ihave a 255 55 R18 gmc. I JUST priced meat rkq and the rim is over 100.00 out inCa. Anyways I calledVip in Westbrook and the gentleman and Karen Allen told me to bring it right in theyll take a look at it so I can get home safe.I wish all of us was so concerned for us all .Big thanks for those two.They had me relaxed so I could go home safe Thank you bunches and God bless you both...Angela B.
Great customer service, always able to schedule quickly. Also good about explaining issues.
Amazing service. They were able to get me and my motor home in quick and were very knowledgeable and friendly! I highly recommended VIP!
John is the man! Always hooking it up!
These guys are awesome! I brought my mothers 2007 focus in for service and they quickly diagnosed and repaired all the issues I have. Staff very helpful and friendly. If your looking for a repair service for your vehicle or just maintenance they are customer focused and safe. Free coffee too! Need some help with their WiFi though. Not usable. They are fair and give you industry standard quotes and prices for anything car related. Above and beyond for customer service! No question is dumb to them. Definitely a repeat customer! One new add on. If possible purchase their discount book. $200 for a buy3get1 free on tires, a few inspection coupons, and many more coupons for rotations, alignments and such. This is a definite buy yearly. I purchased one for myself and one for a Christmas gift. Just the tire coupon and oil change coupon pays for the initial cost.
Brandon saved us, it was 330 on a Friday afternoon and my two front tires were showing wires from a bad alignment. He hooked us up even at the late hour. 4 new tires n very friendly!! Thank you!!
The folks at the Westbrook/Riverside VIP are great. I brought my truck in for service and explained an issue from a past visit. It was my fault for not bringing the issue up at the time, but they offered to give me a break on the service this time around because they value their customers. Top Notch Service at VIP Westbrook!
The vip service always does a awesome job every time i come in. The staff are all very friendly and always get things done efficiently!
Great service very quick and easy
Great and friendly service! I always take my car to VIP!
Matt saved the day for us on our way north for a vacation! Called ahead to see if they could help us with losing tire pressure. Matt said to come right over and they could help us out.... and boy did they! $30 and an hour later and we were on our way! Great service and pricing. Matts the man!!!
Same service as Jiffy Lube for half the cost ! And the service was fantastic !
It was quick, but 106$ for a tire change over that took 35 mins is ridiculous. Look at tire warehouse, I could have saved quite a bit..
Came in to get a tire replaced. The guy at the front desk wouldnt even give me the time of day. His exact words, I dont have anyone here. Theyre all at lunch. And when they come back they all have work. I understand yall may be busy but that doesnt excuse being rude and dismissive.
Recently brought in both of my vehicles to get new tires and experienced excellent service and turnaround time on both, not to mentioned lowest prices and great service from management and staff.
I have always received wonderful service with Richard Fligg and Josh West. They both deserve my greatest thanks and a raise. They consistently go above and beyond in a manner that I could have never expected. I hope they are recognized for their excellence.
Just had the best tire purchase experience of a lifetime. Josh (the mechanic) explained my tire situation perfectly. Josh (the mechanic) was honest and straight forward. Excellent!Josh (the service writer) was excellent! He guided me through the decision making phase with honesty and clarity. He was also very funny and friendly.Outstanding!(On a side note, VIP Tires & Service need to add staff. Josh & Josh are overloaded with work. Try to find employees like Josh & Josh.)I found my Forever Tire Store! Great prices and great service!
VIP is my go-to place for all my auto service needs. The folks at the Westbrook shop are honest and friendly.
Very helpful and friendly customer service. Had an appointment and took me on time. Clearly explained that I needed a front end alignment and showed me the results of the test. Had an oil change, tire rotation and a new back windshield wiper which was installed free of charge. Very satisfied with the service and would recommend going to VIP in Westbrook.
Straightforward experience. Friendly employees. A service tech took me to the garage to show me the cause of my cars clunking. The replacement price was competitive. I like the window to see what is happening in the garage from the waiting room. Service was quick.
Very honest shop. Techs changed my oil and a tire sensor as ordered but took me into the shop to show me a wheel bearing Id need to keep an eye on. No pressure to do it then, just wanted me to be aware. Fair pricing and great service. Will come back. Very handsome crew as well.
WOW WOW WOW GREAT SERVICE! we are road tripping through New England and got a flat tire. After calling around no one could help us.. until Mike! This guy made us laugh and smile when we felt so defeated, thanks for that Mike. They were able to get the tire changed fast and we are on the road again! VIP Tire.. more like MVP Tire. Oh and get Mike a raise!
I have always had great experiences with VIP in Westbrook! Very friendly staff and great work! always my go to for a quick oil change.
Good communication from the service department and the cheapest price on tires. Had to deal with declining all of their up-sells, pretty par for the course, and they took it graciously.*BUT* I almost had one of my wheels fall off 50 miles later because they didnt tighten the lug nuts properly! No matter how good the service and price is, safety comes first!!!
Fixed my tires. They honor their sales warranty.
The tire department helped me out. Bought a ball for hitch. 3 hrs away from home and they took in back and put on my hitch for me. No questions asked. Awsome customer service. 👍👍👍👍👍
I took my car in for service at VIP located at 35 Riverside st in Portland, located close to the Westbrook exit of the turnpike on May 18. I have been a customer with VIP for over 10 years, however, this was my first visit to this location. Matt Brown and the whole VIP team were very courteous, well informed, helpful and they got the work done in a timely fashion. When something else was noticed that should be corrected they answered all of my questions. There was no pressure to get it done immediately. My options were explained by Brian, who was doing the actual work.Matt went through the work that would be done, prior to starting. Matt applied any credits, rewards, and military discounts so that I knew what it would cost before they started to do the work.This visit could not have gone any better. I would rate Matt and his team six stars out of five. Why? Because they did not hesitate to go out of their way. For all the little things that they do. Great job?
Great service!! The techs were very honest and helpful.
Shout out to Matt (congrats again on your daughters birth!) and Lucas for treating me fairly while we worked through finding the solution to my Subaru suspension issue. Hope to see you again! But not too soon!
Employees are practicing correct social distancing practices - wearing masks, etc. - while providing excellent customer service. Always very considerate staff; at Westbrook location, on Riverside St. Would recommend it to others for: tires, oil changes, and other services.
I had a very pleasant and reassuring visit with the VIP staff on Riverside. The guys down there were welcoming, accommodating and timely. Not only did they inspect my car and give me a quote for free, but they also gave me a visual run down of the existing issues. I was glad the staff gave me a bit of their time to teach me a thing or two. Friendly staff, quick services and overall an exceptional experience, Ill definitely be back.
Brought my Nissan in for a full diagnostics. The original sensors that popped codes at the Biddeford location apparently did not show up after they ran a full diagnostics. Matt, at the front desk has been helpful so far in ordering in the correct part, and following up with me on scheduling an appointment. Customer service was 5 stars. Thanks Matt!
Flat tire, always at the most inconvenient times! Stopped into VIP on a whim after being told by my regular shop that they couldnt see me for 5 days to replace the spare with a new tire. Matthew looked at the old tire right away and we found a big piece of metal. The treads on my back tires were quite worn so I ordered 2 tires to match the front tires. They came in the next day, so I was able to stop by on my way home from work. I waited a while before they were able to take me, but I expect that at 4:00 in the afternoon. VIP put on the new tires and I was on my way :) . I will go to VIP for auto service in the future, I find the stop in very convenient. The staff were all very respectful, friendly and professional.
Richard and the folks at VIP were awesome today!! I ran in at the last minute on a Sunday- they are the only tire repair shop open on Sundays- and they repaired a tire on my daughters car and swapped out some wipers all fitting me in between other appointments. The were nice and fast and did a great job- all on Super Bowl Sunday!! Fabulous and thanks to Richard and the crew!!
VIP on riverside has been extremely helpful, accommodating, and efficient. Originally, I needed an inspection and had to reschedule my appointment to which they were super flexible. After the inspection, I was informed that it didn’t pass and I needed some repairs. Brian Haskell was able to offer on the spot options and help me to resolve everything that day. Brandon was also able to explain in detail any questions I had in a way that I could understand it.After a few days, I noticed some other minor issues such as a weird smell. I called VIP and the entire team was very kind and let me stop by to double check everything. Matt (?) went for a test drive with me and him and Brian further investigated and went out of their way for me. They found a nest in the carbon air filter and promptly fixed the issues.Overall, highly recommended.
Just bought some new wipers to put on my Subaru Legacy. I was going to install them myself but I was met outside by a very friendly employee named Moe who asked me if I wanted him to install them for me. I agreed and he installed them a lot faster than I could. He didnt have to stop and ask but he did. 5 stars and give Moe a raise.
I went there thinking I needed a new tire but turns out my rim was cracked. They were honest and let me know what it was and saved me some money😁👌🏾..... Thanks Larry
If you have nice after market rims go elsewhere. Staff was nice but now my 550.00 rim has a a chunk out of the side from the bar used to take the tire off . They should had used a sleave on it . I use to be a tire technician as well so I know what was the cause . Was offed a alignment service. When all I wanted was the paint for the rim . Which was agreed upon. But Never happened. One lost customer.
