The VIP folks were incredibly helpful. They identified the problem quickly, and made the correct recommendation. If I lived around here, I would be a regular here, for everything. These folks are honest and helpful, and incredibly empathetic. I cant say how much we appreciated them!
I popped over to see if they were able to squeeze me in for a quick oil change. They took my keys and had my car in and out in 30 min. Very quick friendly service I will defiantly be sending friends and family.
I was in the middle of a trip. Unfortunately,A/C didn’t work properly. Bumped to Jay.He was very helpful and generous. He even lifted a car as a favor to examine the exhaust problem. Thank you. Jay is ding
Great Service. Very friendly personality.
I really enjoyed my experience. Customer service was great, I really liked Kat’s friendly attitude upon entering! My mechanic Chris was on point informative and also provided extra services during my appointment when I kept adding things on. Very easy, breezy, and affordable! Thank you all!
I brought my Audi to VIP in Portsmouth and Kat and the rest of the team took excellent care of me and the car. They were able to get me in the same day and complete all the work in a timely manner. They went out of their way to explain everything to me and make sure all my questions were answered. I highly recommend bringing your car here!
James Broderick had 4 new tires placed on his 2017 Chevy Equavox on 7/9/2021. The wonderful people at VIP in Portsmouth did a fantastic job. I would go there again in the future for more work on my vehicle.
Sank 5000.00 dollars into a car and none of the issues have been taken care of. I have been scammed by this establishment and will never use another VIP store again.Edit:This VIP wanted to charge me roughly 900 dollars to replace front brakes and calipers. Took the vehicle to another garage and they said the front brakes are fine and just need a new bearing. Im convinced its all crooked mechanics at this VIP. Please do not go through all the time and money I wasted at this shop.
Just shared a review and it should have posted as one star not 4 stars.They canceled my appointment once and nobody showed up for my 2nd appointment. Terrible service and I would recommend that you stay away. And that is after I purchased 4 tires at at $650 +.Nobody called to even cancel my 2nd appointment. The person at the counter said and I quote: Nobody here. Stay away!
I had a great experience at VIP. They were kind and prompt in their service. They were able to fix my door handle in no time!
Great experience with VIP Tires and service today. Called yesterday and had 4 Goodyear tires installed with alignment today. Bob the manager was very forthcoming and helpful. I have been a customer for years and I will continue.
Brought my car here to have an inspection done after moving from out of state. Great staff which was extremely helpful with not only the inspection, but other work we plan to have done on our jeeps. Highly recommend!
Ive owned a few cars over the years and have brought them, one time or another, to VIP for service. VIP has been consistent, reliable and transparent in the work they do there. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they help you to understand your car better. I always feel like Im in good hands. Would highly recommend!
Kat was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to take the time to fit me right in and get me taken care of because she wanted me to be safe in the snow. Not only did she squeeze me in 20 minutes before close for some tires but she took the time to bring me to my vehicle and show me what was going on (front brakes and fluid) and explain in full detail how everything works and what it’s purpose is. I’ve never had an experience quite like that. The fact that she had the knowledge to explain everything was outstanding. I will return for all my services on mine and my wife’s vehicles! Chris was awesome too! He got me taken care of quickly and efficiently. 10 out of 10 would recommend!Thank you for all you guys do!
I brought my dodge truck in for an alignment and was promptly waited on by a freindly associate who made the experience memorable. This was not my first time bringing my truck to VIP for service and yet I got the same level of great customer service each and every time. A friendly greeting and call when my vehicle was finished in a timely manner has made me a return customer and prompted this review.
Robert Odero, thank you so much for the good costumer service. I highly recommend to all. This auto-shop is great, affordable, and has fast-service.
I went to VIP because it was close to my house and I was overdue for an inspection sticker. I was never expecting a free inspection sticker! Totally made my day. What was more impressive than the free sticker was the friendly customer service. Rob was a pleasure to chat with. He ran out to my car to check my mileage (because I can never remember!) while I stayed nice and warm inside. The 2 service techs that passed by me, both offered a friendly greeting. I will be going back to VIP for any future car needs!
Being a Seacoast Native I can say that no one but VIP Auto has better service and workers with an agreeable pricing list, you just can win anywhere else in the Seacoast.-Christy Gaston
Rob and team were really helpful the last time we went in for a yearly inspection on my car. Not only was the service quick but Rob guided me through the process, gave me options on the change for parts and the inspection went smoothly. I would highly recommend VIP if you are in the 03801 code.
I had an inspection of my Honda Fit on March 23. The experience was delightful. They started on time, finished in a timely manner, had a reduced price and offered a free oil change. They have my business.
Had work done on my grandsons van very helpful
Josue is the master mechanic at this location and was very kind to help us with my daughter’s engine coolant at the at end of his long day - after normal hours. Totally unexpected, very nice guy and a true professional. Thank you!!!!
Great experience in store. Would highly recommend!
Great work! Helped me when I really needed it.
Rob has always been very good to us with customer service and with giving us the best price that he can on any work we have done with our cars. They are great!
Great job, great prices, professional service, and skilled technicians. Rob, Kat, and Chris are the best.
I had made an appointment for my brakes to be done, because the dealership said they needed to be done. I was happy to hear that they didn’t need to be replace. I like how honest they are. I’ve never had a problem coming to the Portsmouth vip.
Quick & easy - went in to get my car inspected. Friendly staff, Rob was able to get me in despite having a full day of appointments. Will go back in the future for any car needs
Reliable service in a timely manner.
Recently had state inspection done at no cost because Im a veteran! Nice that VIP honors vets in this way. Been going to the Portsmouth location for a few years now and have always been pleased with the customer service at the desk. Last couple of times I found things slipping a bit. Ron the manager is pleasant enough but, he speaks very low and with an accent making it difficult to understand him. Thats compounded by wearing a COVID mask. He also doesnt project a warm welcome feeling. I stood at the counter (no one else around) and waited while he finished up some paperwork on the computer. Just when I thought he was done because he printed it out, lined up the pages, stapled them then filed them somewhere under the counter he did the same thing again with a different invoice/work order. Several minutes later he finally acknowledged me. Hello?....customer first. Paper work can wait. I arrived on time for my appointment so not like I was a walk in. I asked that the air pressure in the tires be checked because I had a low pressure warning light showing. Didnt get done. I took care of it myself the next day. Nothing major with the experiences but, I got used to superior customer service from the previous managers. Will probably go back with adjusted expectations. Oh, one last thing. I watched the technician pull the car out of the bay when the work was done. Sat in the customer lounge for probably 7 or 8 minutes expecting Ron/Rob? to come in and let me know everything was all set. BTW I was the only customer there. Finally got up and went out to the counter and he was on the phone with someone. Took a minute before he grabbed my paper work and keys and handed them to me while still on the phone. I think he said have a good day but, not sure due to the aforementioned communication issues.
I needed a last minute inspection and VIP squeezed me in and were great! They were all friendly and helpful and I was truly grateful!
We love VIP in Portsmouth! The staff is always genuine, pleasant and helpful. We have never felt over-charged and never felt that we were encouraged to perform unnecessary services. When we go to VIP, we feel confident that no one is going to try to take advantage of us. Their service is truly exceptional.
Just walked by. Did not go in
Went in for a set of new tires, the service department guided me to the best tire for my budget and fit me in right away for installation that day. Great customer service at competitive pricing.
I went to the Portsmouth nh vip for oil change. I wouldnt hesitate for a second to refer them too a friend.. quick and friendly how we all like it.. thank you again guys
The customer service is excellent. I asked the gentleman who checked me in whether during my oil change a food stain on my passenger seat could be removed/cleaned. At first, the gentleman told me, We dont really do that. Within 10 seconds, however, he changed his mind, and told me that he would take care of it himself. He did. One warning: if you are planning on working remotely from the waiting area and require good cell reception and wifi in order to do so, then be prepared to be frustrated. Both the cell reception and wifi are lousy, the former so much so that I could not even circumvent the lousy wifi with my hotspot.
Had a great experience here. Prompt and friendly service. Fit me into the schedule and worked with my limited availability.
I have been here several times and always gotten the best service! Showed up yesterday w/a tire that was rapidly going flat (it was Saturday afternoon). The lady at the service desk said they would fit me in as soon as they could. Did I have to wait? You bet - but, hey, I was just a walk in so I expected that. Everyone at that business is personable and professional and a pleasure to deal with. My tire was fixed and I was home rather than standing by the side of the road waiting for a tow! And it was FREE because I have AAA. VIP Tires and Service is always my first choice when I need something they can do!
Rob the manager always greets with a smile and takes good care of our vechicles. Kat does a great job as well.We love Josu the mechanic to work on our vechicles.
VIP tires and Service and Portsmouth New Hampshire was very professional and courteous. They did a great job on our car and were very timely about it. They also gave me a first responders discount which was greatly appreciated!
Everything worked out great with my tire inspection !!
Went to VIP for State Inspection, the staff was friendly and flexible.
Been here for every car care necessity and they always do a great job with the best service and friendly interface. Great work and even faster than the few places in the city I have managed to get to. Trusted quality and coming back for extra specials!-Christy Gaston, Portsmouth, NH.
I keep coming back here. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and honest. Ive never felt I was being up-sold a bunch of services I dont need.
I have been doing business with VIP Portsmouth for over 10 years. I always get treated with respect and professionalism. The service is prompt and reliable and their pricing is fair and competitive . I recommend them highly and give particular credit to Mike Long the Assistant Service Manager. While I was waiting for a quote on tires today, he interrupted his attention to my needs and attended on an individual in the service area who had some disabilities and was in some distress. He treated him with kindness and concern. That was a very positive reflection of his character and in turn on the business he represents. These are difficult times and this simple act of kindness needs to be acknowledged.
I went in for an oil change today and worked with a fellow named Mike. Mike was very cordial and professional. He pointed out that sometime during the next six months or so, I may need new tires and front brakes. No hard sell, no pressure, just informational and helpful in planning the maintenance expenses on my five year old car. Thanks Mike!Chris MorganGreenland
These guys are the best. I was just about to get on the road for a six hour drive home when my radiator blew. On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Only two and a half hours before closing time. With two cars already up on the lifts. And yet Rob and Alex made it their business to fix my car and get me and my daughters safely back on the road that afternoon, even staying late to do it. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, impeccable customer service. Can’t thank them enough.
Love this place ..what’s the first thing you think about when you’re looking for someone to service your car. ..”Can I trust them??”..well this place can be trusted ..and the service is like non other ..welcoming, fast, and professional. Their prices are very reasonable.
Rob and his team were punctual, professional, and provided a great experience.
Went well, as always. Best deal around on tires for my one ton Ford. Best part is the lifetime balance, rotation and alignment warranty i bought along with them. For the price of the tires alone anywhere else nearby I get this work done at no out of pocket cost at every oil change. And the oil change doesnt cost much more then doing it myselfAlways professional and quick.
I brought my Lexus to VIP in Portsmouth because I did my research and they had good reviews. I wont let just anyone work on my car, and it seems like trusty good mechanics are hard to find nowadays. VIP was able to save me $$$ on replacing my TPMS sensor vs Lexus dealership. Also went with the lifetime alignment which is the best deal around especially for AWD. Would have given 5* but I had to come back because the 1st TPMS sensor wasnt working with my Lexus but the 2nd one worked fine. I also noticed that the tire that had the sensor replaced wasnt rotated because I also asked for my tires to be balanced and rotated. The people at the desk were friendly as well :)
Made an appointment for 3:00 for new tires and an oil change. Two days later I show up for appointment, wait over a half hour just to speak to someone because there was only one person at the desk and he was on the phone the whole time. Then he tells me the tires I ordered arent in stock....I told the girl on the phone when I made appointment that I wanted an oil change too, then I told this guy at the desk oil change too....they didnt do it. Luckily I was angry enough that they upgraded me to a better tire for the same price, but I didnt get out of there until just before closing time so basically 2 hrs. 45 min. - still no oil change. I paid with a $150 gift card and the balance on my debit card. When I check bank account next day....they charged the 150 to my debit card also. Where in the F is my gift card....I have called - they are looking into it OMFG - trust me when I say....take your vehicle anywhere else!
The site is not allowing me to put in my email so I am using my friends. My name is Anthony Howard (Tony) I had a really Good experience with Mike and Rob in service.I missed my appointment because I got busy. They managed to fit me in anyway. They were professional and transparent and answered all my questions while giving me an alignment. I intend on using them in the future. My email is [email protected] Tony
Excellent customer care, very fast, pristine work, and they’ll make room for you in flash. Great to know that VIP is in the area, we got lucky with them!
Terrific customer service. Quality work done quickly. Katt was very knowledgeable and friendly.
I was extremely pleased with my experience at VIP for an inspection. They were very accommodating with scheduling me in for an appointment, as well as, how I was treated. Kat was a pleasure to deal with and the technicians were pleasant and thorough.
Great service and very professional. I will happily take all of my service needs there
This place is official. It exceeded my expectations. As a chain and having been to other VIP locations in the past I wasnt expecting much. But they are great here. Really good friendly service. Favian and Justin really went above and beyond to make my visit good and explain things to me. Great service and great deals. What more can you ask for.
I scheduled an appointment online a couple of days ago to get my tires looked at and they still couldn’t fit me in for a couple of hours after the scheduled start time. Seems like whoever runs the website doesn’t work with the in store scheduling system.I also got addressed after another customer who got there after me.
I would recommend VIP Tires & Service(Portsmouth) to anyone without a doubt!!! Very professional and reliable. The best customer service and reasonable prices. My go to VIP Tires & Service from now on!!!Robert(Manager) goes the extra mile, he was awesome and very helpful..!! Thank you for your understanding the things, Cheers..!!
I have had constant and consistent Class A service with VIP Auto of Portsmouth, NH. The employees there know my car and the mechanical service field very well. I have had my Cadillac Escalade serviced, inspected, and even have gotten really great upkeep advise from their stellar staff. A highly recommended company and with much better competitive repair or servicing pricing than my auto private dealership with magical scheduling times, service always genuine and knowledgeable staff, and perfect repairs! Thanks VIP Auto! Christy Gaston, Portsmouth, NH 03801.
Appointment was for 11 AM & the car was rolling into the service bay at 10:59 AM which almost never happens. Expensive repair but a fair price per Auto MD website & competitor across the street. Highly recommended.
I went to Portsmouth location for inspection and new tires. The entire experience was great, the manager is terrific. The worst was when the young man came out with my keys, wearing no mask- he’d just been in MY car. Not only is he uninformed or maybe he doesn’t care about others by not wearing a mask. When your servicing my car without a mask- now we have a problem.
Great customer service. The staff is very friendly. Rob, the store manager is very helpful.
The woman is always professional honest and very experianced and the crew out back is very knowledgeable fast and thorough woth their work very pleased
I was there to change out my winter tires for summer tires which I have done for many years now. The manager and technician came to me in the waiting room to let me know there was a problem. They could not put on the summer tires because they were too old. I asked if they could put the winter tires back on and they said those were older then the summer tires. I thought for a moment, then decided that my safety is what they were talking about, and the safety of those around me on the road. I decided to get new all season tires, instead of changing out every year, and they gave me a great deal because of my situation. Mike was very informative, helpful, and got me a great deal on good tires. Thank you. I did go online afterwards to check this information and it was true what they said. Kudos to Mike and his technician.
VIP in Portsmouth is one of the best places to go for anything car related. I have lots of car trouble and have been to many other garages and I chose to stick with VIP in Portsmouth because the people they have working there are amazing. Never have I ever experienced better customer service. They make sure my car is well taken care of and are always willing to answer my questions. I recently had a very expensive repair done there. VIP was able to do the repair for less than what other places were asking and my car runs beautifully! Thank you Portsmouth VIP!
I have been there couple of times. VIP guys are really good and do not try to make money out of everything. They advised me for my brakes that it does not require any fix and it really saved me lots of money which I would have spent if gone to other garage.Robert ( store manager) is really good and helpful.
I have been to the Portsmouth location of VIP for most of our cars maintenance/ state inspection and always ask for Rob.He is super helpful, always a delight to talk to and does not try to oversell you something that you do not need. I would certainly recommend this store as well as Rob for all auto needs.
I had an appointment there yesterday for an oil change and tire rotation. I was taken right away and shown where I could wait while the service was being done. It was clean and comfortable with chairs spaced according to the Covid guidelines. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience!
Great inspection and great service!
Fast and easy inspection. Super friendly. Thanks folks
We were in desperate need of tires for our car and needed them for inspection. They didn’t have them in stock but ordered them right away for next day service and were able to do everything from tires, alignment and inspection (which it passed thanks to the new tires). John Etta was the person who took care of it all behind the counter. She is absolutely amazing and just an overall amazing person!!! Thank you all at VIP for taking care of us!!!
Great customer service! took care of my state inspection. identified some issues. Josue was knowledgeable and showed my wife the problem areas that would prevent from passing. Reasonable quote was provided. We will take our car back again and recommend the service.
Very friendly and professional service! I will continue all my auto repairs and service with VIP Portsmouth!!
The good:- You can book appointments online.- If you are taking tires away with you, they wrap each one individually in a bag. Nice touch.The bad:- They didnt have my online appointment in their system, which makes booking online kind of useless.- It took almost 90 minutes to replace four tires.- They forgot to put the tire valve caps back on so I have to buy new ones.
This is the best VIP store I have been. I needed to get tires for my car. Everyone else was out of stock, I had to wait a week for the tires that I wanted. VIP in Portsmouth not only had them in stock, but they were very efficient and reasonable. I will recommend them to everyone. Thank you
Purchased 4 BF Goodrich tires at a good price. I also had an alignment and an oil change done in an efficient manner. I like that I can have my oil changed at a reasonable price and get my tires rotated at the same time. No additional charge for tire rotation if you buy the tires at VIP. Excellent value, thank you!
Very Good Service and reusable prices
Made an appointment for an inspection and they got me in right on time. They were efficient, clear, and friendly. All of the staff were friendly and professional, plus did a great job on my car. Johnetta was knowledgeable and nice...great with customers. Would recommend this place to friends/family and will come back for sure.
Great experience. Second time going there.
I needed new tires for the winter and Robert was so helpful and wonderful. The place was very busy because of the first snow storm, but Robert handled everything professionally and was great to his staff and customers. I would never go anywhere else after this experience!! Thanks for the great work VIP!
Great place!
Was stranded, managed to fit me in right before close and got me on the road in 15m, 5 outta 5 stars
I was very impressed with the amount of time it took for VIP to get my car in, it was immediate, very helpful and knowledgeable !!And a big thank you to Michael long, assistant service manager !Extremely helpful and knowledgeable !Thank you to all !!
Had a good experience last time I was here. They are very quick getting in your car and the staff here is professional
Mike at the front desk is excellent . One of the best interactions I ever had at a tire shop. He was funny, smart, solid, and honest . He also engages with his staff like a professional . I am highly impressed by this type manager . Blew me away ! Highly Recommend !
Friendly, fast. And efficent! The staff at VIP always get me right in they help me to understand what the problem is with my vehicle and I never have to wait long. So glad I switched to this garage. Thank you VIP
Ive been in the automotive service business for over 20 years. When I got out I wanted a place with people I could trust and fair prices. I choose VIP in Portsmouth. Jonetta(sorry about the spelling) has been amazing. Ive heard the way she is with other customers and shes got what it takes. The prices are fair and the work has been way above average to date. In a business where customers are loyal to people and not always businesses she is someone you need to hold on to at any price. Keep hiring these great people. Thank you to the whole Portsmouth team for making our service experience top notch.
Excellent and fast service !! Rob is the best !!
Very good associates who are very helpful.
Portsmouth VIP is simply the BEST! Johnetta is amazing! She is always so friendly. The service department is top notch! Brought my car in before work for a state inspection and I was in and out. I highly recommend Portsmouth VIP!
Visited this location for the first time last month. Was greeted and assisted by Johnetta. By far one of the best customer service experiences Ive had at a garage. She answered all my questions and gave me various options for some upcoming work. We will be back after receiving such great service. I highly recommend!I have continued to visit and Robert, Jayson and all continue to provide fantastic service and answer all questions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this store to others!!
I have been using VIP for tires, oil changes, inspections and rotations for 3+ years and they always deliver great service. Important to me is they honor Vets!
VIP Portsmouth has been terrific. Everyone is so friendly. They were able to get my car in right away for service. They go above and beyond to help out their customers. Johnetta is a great representation of the company.
Overcharged for things i didnt get and basically was laughed at while i brought it up to a manager... what a joke of a place, absolute criminals
Ive been buying tires at VIP since I moved to Portsmouth 25 years ago. I always get the protection package and lifetime alignments, and recommend both.Ive also had some parts replaced (idler arm, etc.) on my front suspension. I have always been happy and satisfied with the work and service at VIP.
Always a great experience! Great customer service and do an awesome job.
Great Service and fantastic staff. I have gotten some work done there including oil changes and tire purchases. I am very pleased with their customer service and quality. Trustworthy place.
