Maine Auto Service

First off I never write reviews, but the service here was so terrible I had to create an account to leave this. I went in for an inspection and the extremely rude and unfriendly workers tried to charge me 1250$ for repairs that would allow me to pass inspection. I brought my car to a different place for a second opinion and they told me it would cost only about 250$ to fix. This place is full of scam artists that cannot be trusted. They will rip you off, do not use them!!

My poor friend got an inspection done at Maine Auto Service on Forest Ave in Portland and had a horrible experience. They made him get his windshield wiper jets replaced or they wouldn’t pass him and as he was driving away the jets still didn’t work. He turned around and went back and they told him “sorry they worked when it was here” and that he would have to come back again and pay to get them fixed *again*. Total crooks!!! Don’t go to Maine Auto on Forest Ave! Service: Vehicle Inspection

I brought my vehicle in to get an inspection sticker and my snow tires installed. I had the work done on a Wednesday and the next Monday my rim/tire came off. I was driving 40mph and hit a bump and suddenly realized I had a major problem. I called Maine Auto Service from the side of the road and Joe, the manager, immediately asked me if I had brought it back at 25 miles to re tighten the lugs. I asked Joe if they would take responsibility at 24 miles, or 26 miles or would I need to bring it in at exactly 25? He had no response. I told him I think that is a poor excuse for them failing to do their job property. He told me that they do not have a tow service so if I could get the vehicle in they would take a look. When I brought the vehicle in they were rude and dismissive. The manager kept mumbling about 25 miles but I really couldn’t understand what he was saying. I am 37 years old and have never brought a car back to get my lugs re tightened. The next day they called me and told me
