The Green Mountains run down the middle, with the Champlain Valley and Burlington on the west side and the Connecticut River valley on the east. I-89 and I-91 are the only interstates; most driving is on two-lane roads through hills and small towns.

I-89 and I-91 are the only interstates, and most Vermont driving is hilly two-lane roads that are salted and sanded all winter. Cold starts, rusted brake hardware and suspension beaten up by frost heaves are the standard calls from Burlington to Rutland.
Wherever you are on those roads, the fix is the same: a mobile mechanic who comes to the car. Breakdowns on the highway get a roadside call, driveway no-starts get a same-day visit, and scheduled maintenance happens at home or the office lot instead of a repair shop. Every Vermont city page has a local mechanic and an upfront quote.
Know the state
Vermont, for drivers
Cold, long, snowy winters, a mud season that eats roads, short pleasant summers, and a salt season to match the snow. Frost heaves and dirt roads punish suspension; salt corrodes brake hardware; cold mornings kill batteries.
Burlington, South Burlington and Essex are the state's only real metro. Rutland is the second city, Montpelier the small capital, and Brattleboro and St. Johnsbury serve the corners.
Frost heaves and potholes, dirt roads in mud season, salt corrosion, mountain passes in winter, moose, and distances that make a breakdown a real inconvenience in a state with few shops to begin with.
