I called him and he picked up immediately, and was very nice, personable and professional. I've never dealt with a car repair this big myself and he answered all my questions and really made the process so much easier. He also was in communication with my insurance agency and honestly, did a much better job than they did at updating me on what was happening with my car. He got the job done quickly and I was SO happy with the result... He is great and the real deal, 100%. Will recommend to everyone I know.. Thanks Mike!!

Just wants to start changing things without a deep dive - so you'll end up changing a bunch of items with them. Customer service was obviously terrible too. Don't go here

They seem like decent guys to joke around with (trying to be fair here). But what I experienced was anything but professional. It would take pages to document this past weeks experiences with ABC. It feels like it's been much longer than that. They wasted way a large amount of my time and money as a result of incompetence. Whether it was completely forgetting about my tow, or charging me for new parts that he GAVE back to me so that I could INSTALL THEM MYSELF because he didn't HAVE TIME, or telling me he'd be there at 4:30pm to check me out but he then leaves to go home early for the day, or telling me he didn't get around to the oil change I asked for because he didn't have time! (which is odd because he went home early!!!) OR MAYBE it was just the fact that the whole reason for the tow was because the fuel pump was going, and he didn't touch anything besides the brakes! Throughout this entire process, I made an in-person appointment, 2 weeks out. I then went back in 2 days prior to the tow to confirm (shouldn't even be necessary on my part). When i finally got ahold of them over an hour after my scheduled pick up time, they begrudgingly came to pick me up, and then proceeded to tell me that they aren't going to even work on it for a few days because they have certain customers that are a priority. WHY DID I WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR AN APPOINTMENT THEN??? None of it makes sense. Honestly, they truly seem like decent individuals. BUT this was the most unprofessional spot I've been to since moving to Maine. 2/10

Paul's Alignment Service is more than it claims to be. Yes, it is run by Paul. Yes, he does…read morealignments. Yes, it is a service. But what I didn't know going into things today was that Paul's Alignment Service doubles as stellar entertainment. Let me set the scene: Late morning. A bright day that is threatening rain. Just outside of Standish. A house in the wood. A brilliant specialist. I was dressed for success, hot off of a business meeting. I'd had this appointment for over a week and I needed it, too, the way The Duke was whallopping down the road like the wheels would fall off. I imagined I would pull up to a cement block shop, two bays and plenty of grease. I'd sit in the dingy waiting room and flip through some outdated magazines, the sound of pneumatic drills and metallic clanks just out of eyesight. Maybe I'd play around on my phone or call my Mom. This is the standard auto repair experience. Instead, I turned off the main drag (if you could call Rt. 112 a "main drag") onto a pretty residential street. Thinking I was lost, I dug out my phone for the address when I saw the unassuming black and white sign in a well-cared for lawn. A cedar-shake house sat back from the road. I hesitantly pulled down the freshly sealed driveway to a matching two-bay garage at the back. A little sign flapped in the breeze advertising the shop entrance. Inside, I found Paul, scuttling under a Camry, some kind of spider-like devices clinging to each wheel. He greeted me, called me by name, and immediately took to talking about the weather. The garage was neat and clean, one half storing some garage-like supplies and what appeared to be an amazing yellow dune buggy, obscured by a tarp. The other half had a singular lift, just tall enough for Paul to kneel under. Only a few minutes past my appointment time, he swapped out the Camry for The Duke and set to work, flitting about the car turning this, lifting that, moving this, a whirlwind of activity all the while chatting without a break. Paul and I laughed and talked on a wide variety of subjects such as gas mileage, the downside of all wheel drive, snow tires, ABS, driver's education (or lack thereof), estate management, hoarding, junkyards, the rising price of equipment costs, global warming, drag racing, the death of mom and pop stores, antiques, clothing, and funeral costs. Paul brought things right back around again when the hour was up and he had finished fixing my car to the subjects of gas mileage and the downside of all wheel drive like the expert conversationalist that he is. So I walked away from the experience with a smooth ride, an education, and an hour well-spent. I suppose it wouldn't do to start calling the place Paul's Alignment, Philosophy, and Stand-Up Comic Service but that's really what it is.

Randy got me in within 48 hours, identified and fixed the issue within just a few hours. Unfortunately, the light came back on (no fault of SMC) the following day. I brought it back in and again, had a quick turnaround on getting it resolved. Randy called me off-hours to let me know it was all set, resolving all issues prior to me leaving Scarborough. He even followed up that Saturday (they're closed) to make sure all was good. I can't speak more highly of Randy and his staff. The price was reasonable as well. I can't recommend SMC more highly
