Mike started Vermont Custom Auto Service in 1989 with one bay on West Canal Street, Winooski. Mike started working on cars well before that in his Winooski back yard. Going through the Automotive Technology program in high school and working after school at a local shop provided him with an educational foundation and work ethic that continues today. After graduation, Mike joined the team at D. Richards Automotive in Colchester where he extended his knowledge while rebuilding vehicles and trouble shooting customer cars. An opportunity came about to rent a bay on West Canal Street and Mike, being driven to work for himself, jumped at the chance. This is where Vermont Custom Auto Service was born.
Two moves later, Vermont Custom Auto Service is housed in its own building, providing services to many of the same customers that walked into the one bay shop in Winooski. And much of this is in thanks to our customers who continue to refer their friends and family to us.
Mike is now enjoying retired life and adventures after passing the business onto his nephew, Jacob Burnham
Jacob continues to work in both the office and the shop providing direction and guidance to the staff. He also regularly attends classes in both shop management and vehicle repair to stay up to date on today’s ever changing vehicle technology.
