September Manager's Minute

September 2, 2025

Happy September & Back To School Everyone!

This year is just flying by, we can't believe the summer has all but come and gone!


Both of our boys will be in high school this year which feels like such a wild thing to type out. We are just so proud of them both and can't wait to see how they soar this year. It's a very bittersweet feeling, our hearts are full but we're also reminded of how much older they are which makes us just a little sad too. I'm sure there are many of you who can relate!


Many of our techs have kiddos also going back to school, just starting school, or about to have their very first kiddo. It's really an exciting time of year for us all! On that note, here is a friendly reminder to be mindful of buses stopping to pick up and drop off children again, to always be on the lookout for them so everyone stays safe. The same for our emergency services, if we all work together our little community will be as safe as it can possibly be.


This is also the time of year to think about undercoating, Mike's filling slots from now until the end of October so be sure to call to get all of your vehicles on his list before he fills up!


It would also be a good idea to start thinking about winter prep and when you want to get your snow tires on. We always fill up, going from one week out to up to 4 weeks out for an appointment during tire season so its always a good idea to call early and get your appointment in! (802) 626-3282 or make a request for an appointment online at: www.burkeviewgarage.com


I know many of you are sad to see summer go, but honestly the fall is our very favorite time of year and we're so excited to have it right around the corner! Enjoy these last days of our Vermont summer, we hope its filled with joy & sunshine.



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
