Happy 2026 Everyone!

January 5, 2026

Here we are again, at the beginning of a bright and shiny new year, hoping for the best for everyone. 2025 was filled with so much: we learned, we grew, we did amazing and fun things, and we got through any lows we experienced together as a team; it was certainly one for the books!


At BVG we're starting the year off with our great, loyal team and can't wait to see what we can all do together this year. We have some lofty goals for 2026, confident that we can accomplish them all with the tight-knit family we have here. Do you have any goals for this year? We'd love to hear about them the next time you stop by the shop!


We are currently chasing our youngest and his JV basketball team around the state, having so much fun cheering them all on. It's a great group of boys to watch. If we aren't at the shop odds are good that we're in the stands cheering LI on. Many of our team members have kiddos on sports teams so they're doing the same when they're not in the shop too! If you have a chance to catch an LI game this season, we highly recommend it!


And last, but not least, with the cold VT winter weather we want to remind you all to have your batteries tested and your vehicles checked over for winter to ensure you aren't stranded anywhere in inclement weather. Preventative maintenance is key up here in the North and we're always happy to do it! Our full comprehensive digital vehicle inspections will ensure that you are ready for anything and we send these full reports out to every customer for every vehicle for easy review. Be sure to save us in your phones as a contact to make sure you get the report when we send it and call with any questions, our service advisors are always happy to chat!


We hope you are all looking forward to a fresh start and that 2026 is everything you need it to be!


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
