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.

GivesNo Fox Auto My truck lost its power steering and I was…read morelimited to where I could have it towed nearby, so I chose SilverFox based off the reviews and being assured it would be done by the time my family and I returned from vacation. I even called again on Wednesday and was assured once again it would be done by Friday as my family and I were flying out of town and absolutely needed it back the next Monday. So... fast forward to Monday the return of our trip, my wife and I, 3 kids and 6 bags of luggage land back in Bangor. Upon landing I call... no answer. Call again, no answer. Again, no answer. So, we figure maybe they are busy and cram the 5 of us and 6 bags into an UberXL and head over to try to reach them that way. No one there. At all. Lights off, no one home. Luckily we had the Uber driver wait so she took us to Dysarts to eat. I called. No answer. Tried alternate numbers. Nothing. As we were supposed to be heading out to Sugarloaf for the week I had to rent a car at $120/day. Well, because of the late start and the storm that rolled in, the roads were washed out, so we overnighted in our seasonal camp in 24 degree weather. I stayed up all night feeding the fire so the others could sleep. By morning I was not a "happy camper"! I called mid morning and they answer telling me they were sick. (Please note the other google review given the same excuse, take from that what you will.) I tell them I am 2 hours away at sugarloaf will it be ready by 12:30? Otherwise I have to pay another day for the rental car. "No, end of day." I don't even bother asking the obvious question on why it wasn't already finished. One more night in our 20 degree cabin one more night without sleep. One more $120 rental car. Wednesday comes, at least the roads to sugarloaf are open so I take my family to the warmth and showers of where we were supposed to be staying. I call on the way once again to see if it would be finished by 12:30 or if I need to once again pay for another day of rental car. Guess what? Nope. Not gonna be finished. End of day they tell me once again. So Thursday comes it's finally finished. So, as my family enjoys their day on the slopes, my non-refundable lift ticket goes unused. I head over to drop off the rental car and Uber over to SilverFox. I ask them if they could apply the 10% discount they advertise on their website for a good review. (The mechanic did a good job was thorough and very nice). Todd the owner replies "You can use that on your next visit." Hahaha ya okay Todd, after: $500 for rental car $200 in extra Ubers $150 lift ticket $XXX.XX for staying awake 2 nights stuck in our 20 degree camp -- you can't even do 10% off? Not a Foxing chance buddy. So here's the full review. -20 stars if I could.

I purchased a 1984 Cadillac from Silo 19, Norman Walker last December 2023. I sent the payment in…read morefull, and sent a friend to go get it as per agreed schedule Norman promised there was a transferable registration in the glove box. No regi was present, no proof of ownership, no bill of sale etc I repeatedly called and texted Norman, and he finally "found" said regi, and told me it was "faded", and weeks went by, no regi is mailed to me So I called Bangor Maine State Police to intervene, and magically, regi shows up. And I asked Norman repeatedly for him to ask car owner to get me a current regi, (Norman is selling on behalf, maybe consignment?), and Norman tells me owner "is like 99 years old". I asked several times for a current, or duplicate regi, and same "he's like 99 etc..." I asked Norman if he could transfer ownership to his name, a simple bill of sale procedure in Maine, costs under $100. But only a Maine resident can transfer, so I couldn't, and Norman seems to stall... So now I've finally got regi in my hand, (months have gone by), it is in fact badly faded, only portions are readable, and my motor vehicle obviously won't accept a 14 year old illegible document, which I presented it to my New York DMV It's now April, I call Norman and after ignoring me for weeks, he finally answers (and asks why I sent Police), and gives me (illegible on faded regi) owners last name I immediately Google Paul Tre......y, and he died October 29 2011. He was 86, not "like 99" So I get it, Norman wanted to sell this Caddy for, I guess, Pauls son, or family, who knows? He never told me any truths, and why would I believe anything after months of lies, ignoring me, and 2 State Police interventions? And to rub salt into my wound, the head gasket blew 30 miles from my home, after a nice 300 mile drive. I wonder if Norman knew anything about this issue? Above are the facts, no exaggerations or personal attacks. If I've erred, I would like to be corrected

We have only had great experiences with Frost's. We took our car to the dealership and were quoted…read morewell over $700 for our car to be inspected, and when we went to Frost's for a second opinion, they said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the parts the dealer was saying needed replacing. They cost a little more than some other local places, but it's worth it in peace-of-mind, great service, and the fact that they stand behind their work. My only minor complaint would be that sometimes the repairs seem to take awhile, so make sure to ask if the repair will take longer than a day.

Upon the garage inspection they informed me of a few problems resulting in inspection failure, including an exhaust manifold leak, ABS system failure, noise from my rear left tire, and a loose head light. I asked for a quote on the exhaust manifold leak, and was told "At least $700 for the part not including labor". Apparently the shop did not know I was a USCG licensed Marine Engineer. I did not have time to do the work myself, and brought the car to another mechanic. There was no exhaust leak, he fixed the head light and ABS system, and slapped on a new inspection sticker for $100. DO NOT proceed with repairs from this garage unless you have the mechanical aptitude to realize that what they are charging is or is not fair. What a scam.
