While cleaning out my old files, I came upon our receipt for Dave's from three years ago. Our…read moreexperience was significant enough that I thought I should make a review. 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.

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.

I had my tires delivered from tirebuyer.com and the delivery process started off okay…read more I knew I needed an alignment when I got my tires put on, that's why I needed new tires in the first place. I told them that I was on a budget when I got there and they didn't want to work with me much, they made it sound good by saying they would check my allignment, and we could go from there. They proceeded to charge me to check the alignment, said that I needed a cam bolt ordered and installed in order to align the rear tires....I told them to hold off, I'd see if my dad could order and install the parts because he is a mechanic. I took my vehicle over to my dad's garage and the rear camera bolts hadn't even been touched (those are the parts that came stock on the vehicle that Bangor Auto & Truck said I needed to order and install) I was so embarrassed, and pissed because they made a fool out of me because I didn't know any better. I then proceeded to drive even further on my new, unaligned tires another 35 minutes both ways to my uncle's shop, who I know and trust and should have gone in the first place, Autoworks in Eddington. They did the allignment just fine with no additional parts or labor. Bottom line, Bangor Auto & Truck lied to my face, tried to take advantage of me, and I will tell as many people as I can about it because I don't want anyone else to have to buy parts that they don't need, or pay for unnecessary labor. I don't know how they are still in business. They are crooks, lier's and shouldn't be a deliveey option on tirebuyer.com Don't do it!

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.

I own a 1998 V70 Volvo wagon, and recently went into Frost's Garage to receive an inspection…read moresticker. 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.

Do NOT Trust Bernache Autobody…read more I honestly don't even know where to start with how bad my experience was with Bernache Autobody. It's been almost six months since I took my truck there for repairs after hitting a deer, and I'm still finding issues that they caused. In fact, they've caused more damage to my truck than the deer did! Here's the situation: I hit a deer while driving at 40 mph. The only damage was a dented front bumper and some broken plastic in the grill. I continued driving my truck for weeks after, and then went through my insurance to get it repaired at Bernache. After about three weeks, I finally got my truck back--and it was an absolute disaster. The bumper was crooked, they used zip ties to fasten the wheel wells, the headlight wiring was just hanging underneath the truck, the fog lights were crooked and nonfunctional, and there were missing bolts and nuts throughout the front of the truck. This was not professional work; it looked like a child had put it together. Naturally, I sent the truck back. After another week, I got it back, and the problems only got worse. The headlights were now full of water (they claimed it was because the insurance provided cheap ones) and the daytime running lights were flickering. To top it off, my truck threw an engine code related to the radiator louver--a part they had touched. So, back to the shop it went. ....My truck is relatively new and had been in immaculate condition before the collision. After the third time I got it back, I realized they had replaced several front grill pieces with cheap aftermarket parts, which weren't even damaged in the collision. It felt like they were just trying to cut corners at every turn. Frankly, I feel like they're scamming people. The work they did is subpar at best, and I can't imagine how many other customers have left that shop thinking their vehicles were repaired by professionals, only to find out they were hastily thrown together with zip ties and inferior parts. I would not trust Bernache Autobody with any vehicle. If you care about your car or truck, go somewhere else.
