Despite listing their Saturday hours as being open until 1pm and refusing to take reservations for…read moreoil changes, they consistently refuse to take vehicles for oil changes after 11:45 on Saturdays (even when there isn't a long line). This has happened to me on multiple occasions. It's deeply frustrating for people who work insane hours to take the time to drive over (with plenty of time to spare), only to be told in a very brusque manner that they aren't accepting any more cars. It should be noted that other locations don't seem to have this problem- it seems to be a quirk of workplace culture specific to this particular location.

We've been going to Sikora's Service Center since they changed over from Whitcomb's. Matt and his…read moreteam are excellent - they always work around our busy schedule and provide quality work at an affordable price. They recently worked on my wife's Subaru Outback (needed both rear struts/coils, front wheel bearings and brakes) as well as the AC on my Toyota Tacoma (components were on back order, but they found them!) - they got it done much quicker (over a week sooner) and much cheaper (over $1000 less) than the dealerships/other shops around Essex were able to. Would highly recommend Sikora's Service Center to anyone in need of repairs/maintenance for their vehicle(s) in Chittenden County area!

I needed an Inspection. I used to come here with my older vehicle when it was Dave Whitcomb's. I…read morehave a newer vehicle now. I stopped in one day and I had to make an appointment 6 days later. An inspection should only take 15 minutes - a smart businessman would take the business in right away. I came back at the appointed time and they put the car on the lift. After the inspection was done, I was told that their internet was down and they couldn't print the sticker. I was later called and told to "come by any time tomorrow". I did, and they still couldn't help me. It seems like they had to put the car BACK on the lift and didn't have room for me. They wanted me to come back yet a forth time. The price of gas ended up being what the inspection would cost to say nothing about my time invested. Look, they may be nice people, but totally clueless about running a business. In a service business (which I worked in years ago) you provide service - NOT EXCUSES. I ended up going to another shop. They lost out on this job and anything else I will need to do with the vehicle going forward. Unprofessional is not the way to go!

I visited the Colchester rd as my first stop in looking to test drive cars. While this location didn't have any cars I was interested in, the woman sent me over to their other location off Williston rd. As soon as I arrive, I see all of the cars we had talked about lined up and ready for me to test drive. This service is fast! I wondered about a new car they had brought in about what made it a rebuild, after I test drove some cars. The next day, I receive a call from the owner himself explaining everything that happens to their cars. Super transparent!

Bato did a transmission swap on the car for an incredibly low price and in record time. A year into the new transmission I have had no issues, just like new. I have also had other work done with Bato and all of it was expected wear and tear stuff. He is extremely efficient, honest, upfront and incredibly generous with his time and his pricing simply cannot be beaten. This is a one man operation that functions better and with a higher standard than all of the larger shops in the area. Anytime I need anything done with my car I can bring it to Bato knowing that it will get done right and at fair price. Finally with Bato around the fear of bringing your car to the shop no longer exists. No more imaginary repairs just so the shop can charge you big bucks. The best place period. Thank you Bato!

I used Jason Leo's in 2024 when I had a serious puncture on one tire. They are nearby to my…read morelocation so getting to a station for service nearby was important. I inflated the punctured tire and was there in under 4 minutes, left my vehicle off and walked back home. They had my tired repaired an hour later and I picked up my vehicle. I was truly impressed in how I was a walk-in with no appointment, yet, they squeezed me in on very short notice and I was on my way in short time! When shopping for new 4 new tires in Fall 2025, I certainly wanted to get a quote from them and it was very competitive to anyone else around. They don't offer free puncture repair or free rotation, but, that wasn't a critical requirement and I also felt I owed a local/Vermont company my business over using a national chain store, taking into account the puncture repair done there in 2024. I dropped off my vehicle for the 9am appointment and my car was ready at 10:40am and ready to go! Impressive! I had a few questions later in the day regarding TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) and stopped by to ask and had all questions answered clearly and completely. Well done! My vehicle will be out of warranty soon and due to both the short distance from my home, but, also and more importantly, the quality of work done here and the promptness to get me in and out so well, I'll be a customer here,... ongoing. For my first experience at Jason Leo's with a pricey investment into my vehicle, I'm feeling that I'm in very good hands and made the right choice of where to get my work done.

I also wanted to add a note that I was told that the online appointment scheduling doesn't work well and often double books, so if you scheduled online, I'd also give them a call to confirm.
