It had been driving fine. I couldn't see anything wrong. I had this sinking feeling, and worried about greedy mechanics conning a gullible vehicle owner into unnecessary work to get the sticker. Nope! That's not what happened! They did half an hour of extra work to fix the problem, and still charged me just $12.50, and stickered it. Takeaway: professionalism, generosity, great service. Yay VIP!

Brad claimed he had warned me of radiator leak, which he never mentioned, and would make no sense to spend nearly $500 on other repairs and ignore a radiator leak. Called corporate office to complain and they said they would get back to me.. Never heard from them and now I have no car.

Hank's Garage had a very quick turn-around from diagnosis, appointment schedule, and to subsequent repairs (very rare for local vehicle repair shops). Sean was up front about the repairs needed, kept me in the loop, and seemed to genuinely try to keep costs down. He is knowledgeable and personable and didn't try to oversell things I didn't need. Overall, a good experience and will bring other vehicles in (when needed). Ed Cousins

I was telling her my brakes were making noise and she sent me the contact information. I've always been made to wait. Kinda hard to wait on brakes. Dick made time for me!

I really didn't want to bother them because they already helped me but he saw the idiot lights and he fixed those things and put the idiot lights out as well! I wasn't able to reset the warning lights. All around positive experience! I want to add that I thought I already did a review but lost track of it and I can't find it. I don't often post anything but I really appreciated this business owner and the helper I met. Mechanics-great ones are hard to find! I HAD to let others know! So , I decided that two posts would be better than none, if I accidentally posted something twice. He was good enough for two posts! I think if you go here you will remain going here! I hope he works until my car is history!

Don't be fooled by this place , I have had too many folks and other shops tell of the trickery and games this place will play to get more money out of the customer.

They also drove me to my office while they did the work on my car and picked me up at the end of the day when they were finished.

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.
