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!

While this auto repair shop appears to have friendly and expert staff, I would not recommend it for…read moresomeone from out-of-state because I sense that it has one de facto price for locals--that is, expected-repeat-customers--and another one for other customers. One way to overcharge customers is by working on two cars simultaneously and charging each customer individually. Another is to round up labor charges at the margins. The dealer charges a 4% credit card fee and $100/hour for labor. But as the above examples illustrate, my concern is not about the de jure hourly rate, just the basis on which they were applied. If you're not price sensitive--and this is the only auto dealer that I believe is currently operating in Jeffersonville--I would not hesitate to recommend this dealer even if you are an easy mark. As for the recently closed other auto repair shop in Jeffersonville, my family used him for many years and never had such an experience.

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!

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.
