    While this is second-hand information (my brother observed this, not me) I am having him read this…read moreto make sure I got the story straight. He has no ties to Fairfax other than me, but I do. I love this town, and I know that things like this matter to our community. My brother brought my vehicle in to Tinker's Auto on 7/21/2020 for an oil change and state inspection. It was the first time I'd brought a vehicle to them, but knew they were a newer business and wanted to support my neighbors. For full transparency, my car didn't pass inspection. They didn't charge me for the inspection either (which was a pleasant surprise and I really appreciated)! So this review has nothing to do with that. One of the owners, Nickie Tinker, was at the front desk. There are bags of locally-sourced popcorn that customers can purchase. Another customer was at the desk talking to Nickie about this while my brother was waiting, and Nickie starts talking about how when she was a kid, they used to call the burnt popcorn kernels "niiiii---- heads". She didn't actually say the word, but turned to my brother and said "What were they called?" She was trying to get my brother to say it for her. My brother, not wanting to engage, said "I have no idea what you're talking about". Nickie then half-said the word again, and said something to the extent of "We're not supposed to say that any more." After my brother recounted the story to me, I posted on Facebook to (my friends only) asking for advice on how to handle this. Someone evidently told Nickie about my plan to publicize my brother's experience. She called me via FB messenger twice on Sunday (7/26) before 9am, and then wrote me a message (see screenshots). It is clear that she doesn't remember what she said that day. But she does recount how that while she is not a racist, she does condone racist conversation in her place of business. If you don't take issue with this sort of thing, by all means, give these people your money. But if you expect better from your neighbors, maybe choose to have your vehicle serviced elsewhere.

    This is the person claiming racism at this garage (Tinkers)and she wasn't even there to verify what…read morewas said.

    Becky saved the day! My son, Alan, was in and out with what felt like a new car after a very…read morestressful morning in Stowe. He was there for a ski exam, but his car wouldn't start in his hotel parking lot. After waiting for a kind soul to give him a jump start, he unfortunately arrived 15 minutes late and wasn't able to take his exam. The only good thing about the day was the support he received at Willie's. Becky was incredible--she welcomed him in the moment he arrived. In less than an hour, they had replaced his battery, changed his wipers, and finished an oil change. The team was welcoming, professional, and gave him a great price. Thank you, Becky, for being the best of Stowe and showing him such amazing support. I will be traveling to Stowe just to say thank you to Becky in person!

    I went to Willie's on Thursday for an inspection and to have my snow tires switched out. When I…read moremade the appointment over the phone I wasn't told to bring anything so I drove in. The front desk lady told me to bring in my registration and proof of insurance. It was in my glove compartment and while I was digging for it the eponymous Willie pulled up beside me. He asked me what I was having done and I told him. He said to me, "Yup, no one's ever prepared." I said I was sorry and he said, "There's an old saying... Time is money." He said this with a good deal of contempt, a really solid burn as far as he was concerned. I was never told to have my registration and proof of insurance on hand. It WAS with me. Had Willie asked instead of assuming, I would have told him. And, Willie, if you're reading this NOW, word of advice, tell people ahead of time. It'll save you the energy of insulting them and sullying their view of your business. The front desk lady was nice enough and the work was done fine. I was definitely charged on the high end but, honestly, I wouldn't have thought twice about it had my interaction with Willie been better. When I got home I pulled the tires out of the car and Willie hadn't tied off any of the bags. I've NEVER been to a place where they don't tie off the bags. It felt like Willie's final F-U. Let's take this for what it is: I got my car inspected and the tires swapped out. It was on the high end but I wasn't gouged. I'm leaving a one-star review right now for the sole reason that Willie insulted me and genuinely seemed as though he doesn't respect his customers. After my interaction with him I wanted to get in my car and head off to someplace where they DO value their customers. Willie, if you're reading this, I promise you I'll never bring my car back to your shop. There's another saying, Willie, "keep the customer happy!" This customer was not kept happy......
