So to update my review; I had my car towed to my home, as per my agreement with Dave's. Having…read morespoken to the mechanic there at length, his estimate to my ears seemed like overkill on an old vehicle. However, a few things: firstly, it had been sitting around for 8 years without usage. Secondly, in that time the vehicle had aged to 25 years (doesn't seem that long to me!) and the parts just plain rusted out. When I saw the vehicle the gas tank looked in sorry shape and was badly rusted--clearly needing preplacement. The vehicle transporter said the same thing. That it wasn't worth any further investment in parts or reconditioning. It was simply too old and the frame didn't look good. I didn't appreciate this analysis because it never occurred to me that this was the situation; hats off again to Dave's mechanic--Ricki--who accurately gave me the bad news that I couldn't appreciate.

In August 2015, we were traveling to a campsite on Mt Desert when my Sube's exhaust dropped off! That long stretch on Bangor road before Ellsworth. It was getting dark. Used USAA to get number for local tow. The driver from Dave's was out really darn fast, dropped my wife and daughter off at at nearby motel, drove out to the service location with the car and then gave me a lift back to the motel (admittedly, that was on her way back, but still it was a nice thing to do). Fast, friendly, fair priced - aces all around.

Harold's Transmission was recommended to me by my mechanic, when I needed service on my 2011 Toyota…read moreCamry's sealed transmission, which has no dipstick to check the ATF level. Toyota claims the ATF need not be serviced for the lifetime of the transmission (whatever that means!), but common sense and experience says otherwise. Replacing the ATF is not intuitive nor easily accomplished on these sealed Toyota transmissions, so I chose Harold's to perform this crucial service. Rob assured me they were quite familiar with these sealed transmissions. They performed a complete ATF replacement including dropping the pan and replacing the filter/screen for a reasonable price (much cheaper than Downeast Toyota!). Unfortunately I soon discovered my car's transmission was leaking from the drain pan seal soon after service. Apparently the new drain pan gasket was incorrectly installed, causing the slow drippy leak. Upon this discovery, I immediately contacted Harold's. They were extremely concerned, apologized and scheduled me to come in immediately. They quickly diagnosed the problem and replaced the gasket, properly adding additional Toyota ATF (btw don't use anything but Toyota branded ATF on these transmissions!). This corrective service was performed to my satisfaction quickly and at no additional charge (except for my precious time). Despite this problem, which could have been worse had I not discovered the leaky seal soon at my car's required annual inspection, I will return to Harold's for subsequent drain and fill of my car's ATF or other transmission service. Sometimes mistakes happen, but in this case Harold's provided a quick effective remedy without hassle. My car shifts soo smoothly now - like a new car! Harold's is apparently the go-to transmission repair shop in this area, and I will continue to patronize them for any and all transmission work on my vehicles. I'd give them 5 stars if it hadn't been for the leaking gasket.
