We've been bringing our vehicles to VIP Tires & Service in Merrimack for a few years now, and what…read morekeeps us coming back isn't just the competitive pricing or the convenient hours -- it's the people, and specifically, Store Manager Alissa Johnson. Alissa is always friendly, professional, and her team makes diagnostics and vehicle maintenance so much easier. They also keep you in the loop with helpful updates every step of the way. We really value Alissa's attention to detail and how clearly she explains everything.

Ordinarily, I'd get any type of maintenance service done by the Bimmer dealership. However, I…read morewasn't really here for maintenance related reasons this time around. You see, it turns out that ol' VIP here really treats their veterans, (past and present) like the real VIPs. By granting them all free state inspections. For those who don't drive on the regular, this is kind of a huge deal. At the time of writing this review, that's 45 bucks I didn't have to spend. And while it's an ancillary amount of money, the words to properly articulate how deeply I appreciate the gesture alone haven't been invented yet. So, as others here have pointed out already, service is fast and efficient. I booked an appointment, even though I didn't have to. They looked vacant enough to take a walk-in right there and then. But all in all, the inspection took all of 10 minutes, tops. And that's it, really. Nothing complicated about it. A maintenance shop just needs to provide service quickly for a fair price, far as I'm concerned. VIP Tires & Service receives 5 socket wrenches dipped in gold plating out of 5.

They were able to squeeze me in the next morning, which was important since my brakes needed immediate replacement. Both of my cars were completed the same day. The shop was clean and comfortable, the service was professional, and the pricing was fair and honest. My car is running smoothly. They're located in Unit C -- just follow the arrow.

Day after buying vehicle, turn wipers on and passenger side one flies off. Had to zip tie it on so i could see to drive. Within about a week or two, check engine light came on. Had it checked out at local place. (I live about 3 hours from dealership). Came up as an O2 sensor. I am disabled and on a fixed income. I traded in my Kia and some cash for this vehicle. It has been one thing after another. It has been leaking antifreeze and getting worse. Took it to the garage today and was told it's the water pump and it's inside the motor. The part alone is $900something dollars and about 12 hours of labor. Call the dealership and they want to know if I bought any kind of warranty. I tell them I don't know because the finance guy put a stack of papers on the showroom desk in front of me and said sign all of these. NOTHING was explained to me as to what I was signing. Guy I spoke to named Matt is who I talked to on my third call to them after the other 2 people never called me back. He says there is nothing they can do to help me. I have not even made a payment yet on this vehicle. On a fixed income, I don't have the almost $2000 to fix it plus make the payment on it. I have already spoken to an attorney about this.

Not to mention eternally relieved to have finally completed a state inspection. What would otherwise be classified as an innocuous, yet necessary tradition, you would be surprised how difficult it is to find a place to get a proper state inspection done IF you're new to the area and not quite sure where to go. Worse yet....if you happen to have tint on your front windows like I did, you'd be hard pressed to find a place that will even perform said inspection, as it apparently violates NH state law. Anyway, this place is fast, efficient, and the staff are very accommodating. They even have a spiffy little waiting area with coffee and everything. Also, they accept Apple Pay. Which....I didn't realize until AFTER I already paid them with my card. See, they have one of those scanners that displays the option as the total is presented. I told the lady at the front desk they should probably post a sticky on the front door mentioning as much. This is such a convenient spot for me to get my state inspection and whatever else done because it's so close to where I live. And affordable? You bet your ass they are! Merrimack Auto Center is worthy of 5 swiftly executed state inspections out of 5.

They didn't even pull it into the garage and charged me $74 to tell me I needed a new Starter Motor. Which was already known. So here's the full story-- Called early morning Wednesday (7:09am), The mechanic that answered looked at the schedule and said he could take a look and to bring it in. It was towed and dropped off at 7:50am. They couldn't get to it (I'm a single mom so had to rent a car to pick up my son from school) They called me the following day Thursday at 12:40pm, telling me they didn't pull it into the garage or run a full diagnostic as I requested, but instead they tried starting it up and that the Starter Motor needs to be replaced. (We figured that much) -- Noticing I will need an oil change soon they added that in, for a total of $880.00 for the repair. I asked for the price without the oil change and she said $728. NEARLY $160 for an oil change is absurd. When I asked about the diagnostic and why I was being charged for a diagnostic when they didnt even give me any information we didnt already know, and they didnt run a full diagnostic, I was faced with an attitude and told "we could have charged you $140 for an hour of diagnostics, but we only charged you for a half-hour". I'm sorry does pushing the start button on a vehicle take 30 minutes? As someone that lives a block away and this is the most convenient place, I STILL wouldn't go back. Even the guys at O'Reilys said they were total rip offs.
