About Girlington Garage
Girlington Garage was founded in 2009 by Demeny Pollitt to provide high-quality automotive service built on transparency, respect, and quality. After years in male-dominated shops where she saw customers being treated with condescension or confusion, Demeny decided to create a different kind of environment.
We believe you shouldn’t need technical experience to understand your car’s health. Our goal is always the same: to cut through the jargon and ensure you leave feeling confident, informed, and respected. Many shops only look at the specific problem you called about. At Girlington, our technicians are trained to perform a comprehensive health check on every car that comes in. We are looking for ways to keep you safe and fully aware of your vehicle's needs.
Our shop is designed to take care of you. While dropping off your vehicle for the day, make yourself at home with organic coffee to go, free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and magazines. To keep you moving while we work, we offer complimentary loaner vehicles. Our goal is to make your experience as smooth as possible from start to finish.

Owner - She/Her
Demeny is a graduate of Vermont Technical College and the Women’s Small Business Program. She started Girlington Garage to provide high quality automotive service coupled with a focus on clear communication and honest business practices. When she’s not hanging out at the shop, she’s gardening, exploring the woods, looking for delicious mushrooms, and chillin’ with her two kitties.
Max B.
Technician - He/Him
Max is our resident hybrid/EV specialist, having just completed training and certification through AC/DC Training Center. When he’s not fixing your cars, he’s hunting mushrooms, avoiding clowns, and searching for a cheap house to buy. (Update: He found one and loves it! He now lives in harmony with his dog and the chickens) He’s not lactose intolerant, but he is a celiac, so keep those tasty delights wheat-free!
Derek C.
Technician - He/Him
Derek moved to Vermont from Michigan back in the golden era of the 2010s. He’s been a technician for 10 years, and he still really likes it! He recently completed training and certification through AC/DC training center, making him our second Hybrid Specialist! If he hadn’t become a technician, he would have been a punk rock wizard, saving the world with his most excellent guitar skills and his triumphant Tae Bo teachings. If you want to bring him a delicious treat, just make sure it’s lactose-free!
