Montpelier Auto Repair

The "Unicorn" for car service. Excellent communication pre, during and post repair, they clearly explain the problem, offer options for repair, and treat you with integrity and respect. Truly a 10/10 service experience over multiple years of repairs on different vehicles. Highly recommended without reservation.

For years, we have had the crew at Auto Craftsmen work on our cars, always with excellent results. However, my most recent experience requires a review. The check-engine light kept coming on in my 2015 CRV resulting in the All wheel drive function being lost. Winter in Vermont is not when one wants to lose all wheel drive! Amy and the crew squeezed me in hours before their Holiday break, found me a loaner car. They diagnosed and repaired the problem in time to get me on the road for Christmas. Thank you Auto Craftsmen!

We have used Autocraftsmen’s services for 14 years and have always been happy with their work. Recently they fit us in during a very busy time for them to replace the starter in our car before it left us stranded. That was very much appreciated by us! Nice, honest folks working there which makes it an excellent choice for car repairs.

Thank you to all who took care of my truck’s needs and made it safe to drive. Additionally, you let me borrow a vehicle while my truck was being worked on and this helped me go to work and not loose a day of work. I am so grateful for the amount of care and kindness you showed during this difficult time in my life. In addition to all the needed repairs you took the time to re-weld my truck bed to the frame for free. This was unexpected and welcomed. Thank you for whet you do in an honest, friendly and kind way. You are awesome and I will not forget it. ☀️

These folks saved me! On Sunday 8/7, I had car trouble driving from Burlington to Barre and just so happen to lose power steering right about the time Auto Craftsmen came in to sight. I managed to coast into their parking lot before the car died completely. Having never been here before for service, I had no idea what to expect but wrote a note about what happened on one of their envelopes, I put my key in it, slipped it into their "after hours" key slot, and crossed my fingers. I can't exaggerate how lucky I feel to have landed at this shop! Everyone I spoke to was helpful, friendly, understanding, and so kind. From the moment I received a call Monday morning to go over what I experienced while driving, through out the whole diagnosis, quote for repair, and actual completion of the repair - they kept me updated through emails & texts in a way I've never found at any repair shop any where. I honestly cannot recommend Auto Craftsmen enough!

The first time I talked to Grayson, I explained that I was looking for a local garage to service my 2015 Subaru Forester. I was searching for a garage that provided quality service and could be trusted to give an honest evaluation of my car’s needs going forward. The vehicle had reached close to 220, 000 miles and I felt less of a need to take it to the dealer that I purchased it from. I started with a vibration in my front end, suspecting an issue with missing wheel weights due to mud season. Grayson explained that the technicians would also give it the once over to become familiar with the car. On my second visit for an oil and filter change, the technician noticed that a universal joint on the drive shaft was beginning to fail. I had noticed a different rattle in the vehicle, but didn’t give it much thought, just another old age rattle. I was notified by Amy of my options for repair/replacement in a very detailed manner and was able to discuss with her the positives/negatives of each choice. The information she provided allowed me to make a thoughtful decision. The work was completed in a timely manner. Within one week I had put four hundred miles on the vehicle. Its now two weeks out and they are checking in to see how things are going. Auto Craftsmen offer impressive customer service! I’ve found my local garage! Paula

I am always impressed at how responsive Amy and her team are, ease of getting an appointment, communication throughout the process to avoid nasty surprises. Their work is timely and high quality and their pricing is fair. Can't ask for more.

On a recent trip to Vt from VA, my 2013 Prius would not allow me to pump fuel into the gas tank. It automatically shut off when I tried to refuel. After the Toyota dealer quoted approximately $1000 to throw parts at replacing the evap system and a lot of research, I took it to Auto Craftsmen for a second opinion. Turns out, all the parts were functioning properly, they just needed a 'blow out" to clear them. They fixed the evap, put new tires on the car, replaced a light and other smaller things to get the car up to speed and the cost was half the Toyota dealers quote. They were so nice and accommodating every step of the way, I recommend them highly. As a matter of fact, I travel to Vt twice a year to visit my daughter and I think I will just schedule all my maintenance work on the car for while I am here?
