November Manager's Minute

Happiest of Novembers All!

The "ber" months are always my absolute favorite, the weather, the feel, the holidays, the extra time we get to spend with friends and family, it's just the best! We've been lucky enough to have absolutely beautiful fall weather here in VT, and finally got some much needed rain in October. The fall vibes were strong and the foliage was some of the prettiest we've seen in years. What a great place to be!

We enjoyed traveling and watching our oldest son in his first Cross Country season for LI. Cheering him on, along with our friend's kids, his other friends/teammates, and enjoying the truly cheerful, encouraging atmosphere that this sport has. It was such a treat watching him come into his own with this new to us sport and really enjoying it. They couldn't have had better weather and we got to enjoy the fall foliage even more in our travels to these meets, with some of the prettiest locations we've ever experienced with any sport. Basketball will be starting soon for our youngest and we'll find ourselves court side cheering them all on!

November brings feelings of thanks for so many things. We are thankful for the service of Veterans and all active duty military personnel, along with their families. We're thankful for our incredible family and friends. We're thankful for our prospering business, along with our fantastic team and wonderful customers. We're thankful for our recent move out of the flood zone and into the home we have dreamed of for many years. Thankful for the the strong and resilient community that we live in. And we're thankful for each other and the beautiful life we have.

We hope this month finds you well, surrounded by the things and people you love the most. And with some beautiful, crisp autumn weather!

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
