As VIP Tires & Service marks 100 years of serving drivers across New England, the company is placing renewed focus on the people whose work keeps its customers moving.

For VIP, the employee experience begins with recognizing that automotive service is a skilled profession. Technicians, service advisers and store teams are entrusted with helping customers make informed decisions about their vehicles and return safely to the road. That responsibility requires training, teamwork and a clear commitment to customer care.

Whether it's warming up your home through portable heaters, pellet stoves or fireplaces, the chances of a fire increase in the winter.
According to the Red Cross, the risk of home fires increases by 20% to 30%.
That's why, through Saturday, it is Fire Prevention Week.
