I cannot say enough good things about VIP Tires in Barre, VT. I drive all the way from Thetford…read morebecause this location is, hands down, the absolute best around--and completely worth the trip. Nick is a superb manager who clearly treats his staff with respect and care, and that culture shows in every interaction with customers. You can feel the thoughtfulness, professionalism, and integrity the moment you walk in. Addie was incredibly attentive and supportive when I had questions and asked about additional work on my car. Her attention to detail and clear communication made me feel genuinely cared for, not rushed or upsold. Aiden did an amazing job--fast, efficient, and thorough--and went the extra mile by offering helpful advice on maintaining my windshield wiper blades. That kind of guidance may seem small, but it speaks volumes about the pride and care he brings to his work. I've already told family and friends, and I truly wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. VIP Tires in Barre has earned my complete loyalty. Thank you all for consistently outstanding service!

I brought my car in for winter tires and specifically requested studded winter tires when I booked…read morethe appointment. I'm new to the area and openly told them I'm unfamiliar with winter tires and was relying on their expertise to guide me. I later learned that not all winter tires come with studs pre-installed -- they must be added separately, even if the tire is designed for studs. That would've been fine, had this been clearly explained. Instead, no one asked me to confirm whether I wanted studs installed, even though I had requested "winter tires with studs" in my original phone conversation. The tires they ordered were indeed studdable tires, which means I would never have declined studs on a tire specifically made for studs -- especially after asking for them. When I picked up my car, I noticed the studs weren't installed. I called to clarify and was met with rude and dismissive responses. I was told that I had declined studs, which is simply untrue and was never discussed at any point during the appointment. They refused to acknowledge any miscommunication on their end. I drove back so they could add the studs. While there, I was spoken to disrespectfully, my old tires were called "crap," and when I returned to pick up my car, I was told that although they normally don't charge for studs, they were charging me the full amount because installing them was an "inconvenience" to them. Update: I reached out to Monro about the issue and received no additional help. Overall, a really disappointing experience. The one-star reviews are legit--save yourself the headache and go literally anywhere else for tire service.

He guided me in my effort to get a tire adjustment on our previous tires because they had weather checking and normally that company will offer some assistance. For a couple of reasons the company wouldn't help. Bruce made an effort via a different path but came up with the same results. We did discuss what tires would work for us and he immediately located 6 of them for us. We scheduled about 3 weeks out. The weather on that day was calling for snow and our trip was 50 miles. I asked if the weather was bad enough, could we cancel and reschedule. They were very agreeable to that. We made it and after an hour and 45 minutes we were on our way. Because they do some business very close to us they agreed to come by our house and retorque the lugs. Tough finding anyone who would do that. I whole heartedly recommend Pete's Tire Barns (from the Montpelier store at least). They were great and I will not hesitate to do business with them again. You shouldn't either.
