VMP - The Vehicle Maintenance Place

Jan 30, 2025

Incredible service. My car was returned not only with the requested repairs but had been washed and vacuumed. The mechanic also helped me in a bind when my warranty wouldn’t cover the repairs. Thank you for your resourcefulness and expertise! Highly recommend.

Best mechanic in town! Rick and his dad, Master Gunnery Sergeant Dick Vocio, are great. His wife, Sharon, is super nice, too, when she's there or on the phone. Rick takes care of the business, and his dad tells me fun stories from his years in the Marines while we share some of his coffee. But you don't have to hang out and wait. I just choose to if I can. Because, you see, Dick and Rick have a very cool and very unique business model. Subscribe to their $500/ year maintenance plan and they will do all your quarterly oil changes and tire rotations with a mild detail (always cleaned inside and out) and service/ safety check. Emissions tests are covered, too. And a yearly full detail. Plus, any maintenance needed is done with a labor discount. And last, but really the coolest part, is that I can drop my vehicle off and drive away in one of their very nice fleet vehicles (which you can also rent sometimes if they're available) and then return it when my car is ready. This means you don't have to find someone to follow you to the shop each time and you're never out a car... who does that? I've had all my cars on their plan for over 20 years. I've even bought some of their cars. You can also pet Molly and Barney (super friendly, well-behaved dogs) if you stay to have coffee and visit.

Excellent service

It's easy to go there, Rick is honest and fair, and the work is quality. My alternator went out on me and I had them replace it, well the part turned out to be faulty and they did the entire job again for free. If you want quality work, honest people, and a good price go see them.

Rick has been such a great help to me and my family having a lot of car problems. It's nice to know that there's trust in mechanics out there. Service is always great. Communication is amazing as well. 100% would recommend to anyone in need of a trustworthy auto repair shop.

Went here for the first time today. I used to take my car to the dealer. VMP has a much better vibe and I like going to a shop in my neighborhood.

Took vehicle in for oil change and another issue. Very nice location, friendly people. Two great dogs! Honest about the diagnosis thought might be going on. They reached out to Honda and verified, which was just further confirmation. Price for oil change very affordable. Definitely check them out, support local business!

Took wife’s vehicle in for warranty work. They did an excellent job in a timely manner. Had to leave vehicle when it was discovered the tow company that took vehicle there had damaged the rear differential. They were able to fix in a timely manner. Happy with their work. Needs some more work due to O2 sensors going out. Taking it back to them to complete that work. Very comfortable with them and they are professional.

Great service

Had warranty strut work done on my 2013 lincoln mkx. They did a great job. Nice office communication and works was done in a timely manner. Especially when they look busy. God bless vmp.

Feb 06, 2024

Kept my car all day on multiple occasions and did very little actual work on it. Took it in for my ac three separate times and it still doesn't work. Hundreds of dollars later.

Feb 06, 2024

Staff was professional and friendly. Service is top notch. My vehicle was returned to me cleaner than when I brought it in.

Feb 06, 2024

VMP was on the list for my warranty so I had my car towed there and I am SO glad I did! They were really really nice and extremely efficient. It turned out not to be something covered under my warranty, but it was great to have them do the work—quickly and for a reasonable price. Will definitely go back and highly recommend the Vehicle Maintenance Place!
