VIP Tires & Service has expanded its Brunswick, Maine, store. To celebrate the expansion, VIP hosted a re-opening celebration for the local community with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Joining VIP at the event and ribbon cutting was Ryan Leighton, assistant Brunswick town manager.

VIP began remodeling the Brunswick store located at 51 Bath Road in March, adding 5,000 square feet to the existing auto store. The renovated Brunswick VIP store now features seven service bays, an increase from three; new shop equipment; inside storage for up to 2,000 tires; and an improved and expanded customer area.

In Brunswick, VIP says it has expanded its customer area by 500% and added a number of amenities including a larger waiting area, laptop bars for working, a new coffee and drink station and windows into the service bays so customers can see the work being done on their vehicles.

At the re-opening event, in addition to festivities and food provided by local bakery and café the Union Street Bakery, VIP launched its “Oil Changes for Education.” From September 11 through November 15, VIP is offering $10 oil changes to all customers at its renovated Brunswick store with 100% of the proceeds benefiting local public schools.

VIP Tires & Service operates 59 locations throughout New England. VIP now has 19 store locations in New Hampshire, four in Massachusetts, one in Vermont and 35 in Maine.
