I never heard of such a requirement for a "warranty". I asked them for other choices, such as replacing the compressor only and forget the warranty, or install a second-hand compressor. I also asked if the $115 diagnostic charge would be applied as a credit on the final bill. I don't think that was well received. The attendant said she would have to ask the mechanic and get back to me. She never called me back. I guess they figured I was not going to be a pushover customer, so they decided to run with my $115. Meanwhile I got a dealer quote to replace the compressor with an EOM part and warranty for $1300. A mechanic friend of mine advised that I go with the dealer, since private shops often use overpriced after market parts anyway. I never found an auto repair shop that charges more than a dealer, but this is it. THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS.

Ricky Miles (the business owner) did everything he could to make the stress of our broken-down car easier for us... he kept us in the loop about repairs needed and the codes being generated by our failing engine *and* helped us understand what we needed to do once we drove back to New York. He offered great service for a great price... so I highly recommend him if you need any repairs! Also, if you need to sit and wait around for a while, his shop is a *very* comfortable space. He even has free (good!) coffee and hot chocolate for everyone to enjoy, along with a checker-board, waiting area, and magazines. This is a good plus if you're stranded and need something to occupy your time besides fretting!

They not only got me in the same day to diagnose the issue but also were able to get the part the next day and fix it all within 24 hours. The price we paid was more than reasonable for the work done/part/labor and quick turnaround. We were told by other companies in the area that they weren't accepting new clients and/or it would take over a week to diagnose the problem, so we were thrilled about how quickly the mechanics at Jim's were able to get us in. We also were BIG FANS of Tank and Turbo they are amazing greeters!

I had previously gone to VIP Tire in Ellsworth for my car's annual inspection, with whom I had become very dissatisfied. Wayne and his crew thoroughly inspected my car and discovered a host of problems including: loose heat shields; bad bulbs; seized brakes; and a transmission leak caused by improperly performed service by another shop. They fixed all the problems for free or with minimal additional charges. (I returned to the other shop and successfully requested they repair the leak to my car's transmission at no additional charge). Subsequently, I returned to Alley's for: diagnosis and repair/replacement of frozen rear brake calipers and brake fluid replacement; engine coolant service; and a leaking tire rim (that VIP Tire had deliberately failed to repair during installation of new tires). Each repair was performed perfectly at reasonable cost and on time, as promised. It is so comforting knowing I have an honest, trustworthy and reasonably priced mechanic, right here in Lamoine. For any service I cannot perform myself, I will be using Alley's Car Care in the future. I highly recommend Alley's Car Care if you live near Lamoine, or especially if you are travelling to or on vacation in or near Acadia National Park and need emergency service or repairs at a clean, well-organized and competent auto repair shop. 5+ stars!

Theres a brand new place down the street and its easy enough to just go there. And if I need tires I know where I wont be coming. It's only a car wash, so how hard is it to be kind and respectful and help someone get there moneys worth for an insanely expensive wash where my car isn't even clean at the end. Ridiculous

Whether it was the sales people, the management, or the people out back doing the paperwork, it's has always been a great experience. I've had our major service work done at Darlings as well. At both the Ellsworth and Bangor branches, I've been well taken care of with excellent service in a courteous and timely manner. Thank you to the entire Darlings Team!

This is ridiculous and I will not be going there for this repair or any other service ever again.
