I have been a customer here for a few years. I've tried other garages, some a bit cheaper, but…read morealways come back here. Usually I regret going anywhere else and kick myself for not just coming here. I moved to Skowhegan so I tried a couple garages near me, but again, came back to Hardings. They were ok, but didn't compare and often I'd have to take my vehicle back to fix things they missed or didn't do right. I can tell you in all the years I've been using Hardings I don't think that has ever happened! They are thorough, honest, and very competent. I have had a lot of really bad experiences over the years with repair shops so I don't trust hardly anyone!! I trust Joe at Hardings. That is saying a lot coming from me. Joe is upfront, real and honest. He tells it like it is and I know if he tells me something needs to be done it does and I don't have to wonder if he's BS-ing me. He will break it down for you also, tell you what has to be done now, what can possibly wait a bit, etc. He will work with you. I recently tried another place recommended by someone else, as they were much cheaper, big mistake! They went over their estimate by $200 & didn't even call to tell me & wanted to do other work that was not necessary. I went back to Hardings and now have my truck up and running great and inspected. Lesson learned. I'll be a customer for life. My aunt has been a customer for over 25 years and has been treated so good she NEVER goes anywhere else and always sings their praises. You truly get what you pay for, as they say. Harding's may not be the cheapest around (although still reasonable!) but they are the best, IMO. I know my car is going to be fixed right when I go there and I won't be told they can't figure out the issue, as I've had happen at other places. They do everything, including rust repair too. Keep up the good work Hardings!

I left my car at their garage for two weeks to get my my door handles replaced. Every time I called them I was told "tomorrow, tomorrow..."

They hadn't done a single thing to it (but didn't charge me, of course). This time it was, "still haven't received the part, it'll be here over the weekend." Sorry.

The hood and windshield were the parts that needed to be replaced. I was told by the body shop that I would get a used hood but it would be painted. I was told the fenders would be painted to match the hood color. When I went to pick up the car neither fender was painted even though my bill showed that the work was done. I asked why they werent painted as I was told they would be and why the charges for painting them was on my bill. The cost was taken off the bill and I was told that it wasnt necessary to paint the fenders because the color matched the hoods color which was supposedly just painted. If the hood was just painted it didnt make sense that it would match 17 year old paint on the fenders. The hood was used and where there were dings you could see that touch up paint was used and the color did not match the hood color. The car is silver and there was a red spot on the hood. If the hood was freshly painted there shouldnt be a red dot or touch up paint used. It just proved to me that I was being billed for work not done. The car was taken back in to the shop for a long time to have the ding spots and the red spot buffed. I was not impressed by this because it did not change the fact that the hood didnt look freshly painted as I was billed for. I complained to my ins. co. who said they saw the before and after pictures sent to them from the body shop and were happy with the work. I guess the owner of the vehicle being unhappy with the work doesnt matter to either the body shop or the ins co. I informed my ins. co that I am never using that shop again and I will be looking for a new ins co.

Rotary Garage 383 Water Street…read more Augusta, ME 04330 Owner: Ethan J. Danis Email: ethdan77@yahoo.com October 20th, 2021, Wednesday time 4:15 PM Est, Ethan J. Danis had my mother's car a Chrysler PT Cruiser 2002 to just replace her car battery and that's was it, she already purchased a car battery and just need a garage to take the old one out and replace it with the new one, that was a short of simple job to do, for a professional mechanic, but when my half sister Crystal Landry called to see if he was done with my mother's Linda Landry's car he answered the phone calmly and then started to jump down my half-sisters throat screaming at her that he will not be fucking bossed around about his work and when to do it, and he was pretty slanders about it, and refused to work on my mothers car "NOW", all cause my half-sister Crystal Landry called and asked him if her car was done yet?? And it will take me about 15 minutes to pick her up to bring her over to pick up her car if it's done? My half-sister Crystal had her girlfriend listen on the phone as Ethan J. Danis was screaming at her over the phone and saying, "Fuck You" and I won't Work on your mother's car, you can come and pick it up and go some place else with it and have them do the job!!! And it was just a simple job for a "Professional" Auto-Mechanic if he was one in the first place, but by the looks of it he could not even do a simple break job on the car head of my mothers car, and in fact my mother called him her self after my half-sister called and she asked what was up, and why he refused to do the work on her car to replace the battery? He started "Yelling" and "Screaming" at her over the phone too and bashing her that because my half-sister Crystal Landry called him earlier to ask him if my mother's car was done yet, so she could bring her to come pick it up and fallow her home, because she has things to do tonight and get home early. He was also saying he was having a hard time working on the car before my mothers car and it was a break job and he was having a hard time at doing it, and he would not be able to get to her car yet and he does not want to be told what to do or when to "fucking" do it!! Neither my mother nor my half-sister Crystal Landry was speaking to him over the phone in any manner of to tell him how to do his job or when to do it, they was just asking if he was done replacing the battery yet, because he told them it be done with in an hour or so, the most as long as there was No complications during the job, then just about an Hour and Half the most. So, you see he gave them estimated time when to expect the battery replacement job be done. So, You and your daughter can come get your car its all charged up and you can come get it now!!! And he hanged up on my mother. (He just charged the old battery so it could startup, but he did not even do that, he just tore my mother's steering wheel cover off her steering wheel and left it that way.) So, Ethan J. Danis is Abusive Auto-machinic and not a good person to do business with at all!!! All he had to do was tell my mother or half-sister he can't get to her car yet; cause he's having trouble on another job he's doing and her's will just have to wait till tomorrow. And my mother and half-sister would accept that and would of understand that he's having troubles with another car, and she just have to wait till tomorrow for her battery replacement job to be done is all. But "NO" Ethan J. Danis Owner of Rotary Garage 383 Water Street, Augusta, ME 04330, was mean and Abusive and yelling at my mother Linda Landry and half-sister Crystal Landry. And he had my mother's vehicle overnight too, since 4:15 PM Est, October 19th, 2021, through to Wednesday October 20th, 2021, time 4:30 PM Est. When my mother got there to pick up her car, he was still inside in the garage working on someone else car and he was making a lot of noise too, and my mother just got her keys to her car and left with her car.
