Happy June Everyone! We have finally made it to summer! It's real, it does exist! I think we've really earned this one my friends, between the winter that never ended and the absolutely frigid Spring. I hope we have what feels like endless days of sunshine ahead. May was spent on many a baseball field and it was so much fun. Watching Rory coach both of our boys, and their great group of teammates, was a great way to spend the Spring. Let's go Vikes!! Our oldest son finished his Junior year of high school, the thoughts of college and what happens after graduation have come. It feels absolutely wild to be here with one of our boys and it got me thinking about all of the other parents in the same season of life. We've had 16, 17, or 18 years of time with these treasures of ours and now we have to hope we've done everything we can to prepare them for life as an adult (and prepare ourselves for it as well). I wish you all the very best, and just know you are not alone in this, we're right there with you. Our summer looks like it will be filled with college campus tours, lakes, fishing, and hopefully some family hikes! I'm sure we'll be joined on the road by many other travelers doing the very same thing. If you'll be one of them, be sure to reach out to us prior to any big trips to check your vehicle over ensuring you spend your vacation having fun and not dealing with car trouble away from home. We do this all summer long for our customers, we'd be happy to do it for you too! Here's to a summer filled with greenery, sunshine, warmth, and so much fun! All The Best, Sarah & Rory

Can you believe we made it to Spring?? I don't know if I've ever been happier to see mud season, ruts and all! We are also excited to get baseball rolling, if you need us we'll be at the shop or at a local baseball field soaking it all in. Go Vikes!! Last month the shop had an exciting new arrival.....our Technician Tony had a beautiful baby boy, welcome to the family kiddo! Be sure to congratulate him the next time you come to the shop and see him. This warmer weather ushers in Vermont's mud season and we're destined to have a good one with all of the snow melt that's happening. If you find yourself on the highway with a very shaky car odds are good your wheels are caked in mud. Call us to schedule an appointment for us to confirm that's the issue and address any others that the ruts and potholes may be causing. Going to a car wash is not sufficient and many times can cake the mud in further, not to mention if we have freezing temps that night it can then turn what was just mud into cement. We're happy to put it up on the lift and clean it all out for you so you can head on down the road shake free! It'll also be a great time to switch over to your summer tires. Be sure to call soon though, we'll be filling up quickly! We hope you are reading this with sun shining down on you and in a very comfortable temp my friend, if not, head outside when you're done reading this and get some fresh VT air. Happy Spring!! All the Best, Rory & Sarah
