We can't thank Jim's Used Cars and Auto in Ellsworth enough. My Jetta's engine light came on right…read morebefore we were supposed to leave to return home to Georgia. 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 came in for a car wash and The younger heavyset male who took my payment was pretty rude to me…read moreand makes me not even want to come here anymore. I was very polite and asked him not to spray the one part of my car so i wouldnt get water in it. To which he completely ignored me and didn't even respond. I know he heard me because he stood there and listened to me ask then just turned around. He then proceeded to not even spray any of my car at all and now its not even clean. For $17!!!??!? Wtf? 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

Since I said I wanted to buy a new car in the near future, the gentleman at the desk went through the list and told me that the issues might not be that important and what to look out for and when to bring it back. He could not have been more helpful. I will certainly bring my car back when it needs servicing.

I started with Jeeps at the Ellsworth branch and in 2017 leased a new Ford Escape Titanium for my wife. We absolutely love this car and its many safety and comfort features. Every time I was purchasing a vehicle through either the Ellsworth or Bangor branch, I've had nothing but excellent service. 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!

I brought my vehicle in for a recall repair. I was called and told thst the 3rd brake light was out…read moreand could they fix it. I said yes. When I picked it up the vehicle the light had not been fixed because they did not have the part. I was still charged $200 when the recall repair was free. I called to complain and was told that when the part arrives it would cost me at least $400 for the repair. This is ridiculous and I will not be going there for this repair or any other service ever again. I should have been told that it would cost $200 just to check the cause of the outage and I would have refused to have it done.
