“Mike was incredibly helpful and honest. They explained everything clearly, from the initial inspection to the final price. Overall, I am very impressed with the service at Black Bear Autoshop. They were honest, professional and did a great job to my car on my scheduled maintenance. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable auto service. ??????”
“I came in about 2 months ago for a pedal sensor and thermostat housing replacement while my mechanic was on vacation. These guys serviced my car within 2 days when everyone else in town was booked 3 weeks out so I appreciated that alot. There was a hiccup that happened but when I brought it to them next day they addressed it immediately in that moment. Car has been running great since then”
“I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and care I received here. From the moment I walked in, overwhelmed with all the issues going on with my 16-year-old BMW (my baby!), I was met with understanding, patience, and clear communication. Mario, Peter, and every gentleman in that shop made me feel completely comfortable.
They didn’t just diagnose the problems—they broke everything down in a way I could understand and offered both immediate solutions and alternative options. They truly worked through every obstacle with my “ lil nightmare” that barely drove in.
The best part? I was bracing myself for a massive bill. But when I asked for the total, I had to ask them to repeat it—I was in shock (in the best way). Honest, fair pricing on top of amazing service? That’s rare.
This shop deserves a 30/10. Thank you, Mario and Peter, for giving my car the TLC she needed and giving me peace of mind. You’ve definitely earned a loyal customer!”

“While we were in Maine my Subaru Crosstrek got a bad door dent. Then traveling back later that day I got side swiped on the highway. Not sure how to get the damage fixed I decided to have Sam O. fix the damage. I'm ecstatic...you can't even see any damage. Awesome work Sam and crew. I highly recommend Touch Ups Unlimited.”
“I recently bought a used car here. The entire experience was 10 out 10. I knew exactly what i wanted, and they had it! Before purchasing, they put the vehicle up on a lift and showd me the entire undercarriage of the vehicle plus under the hood. The entire team is professional and friendly. Marc was an exceptional sales man, I've never met an honest car salesman before. Im thrilled with my car, and will continue to bring my car there for regular maintenance. I will never go anywhere els for anything car related.”
“Thankful to have found Joe's Automotive in town. His hourly rate for labor was extremely fair compared to others. I dropped my car off at 8am, and my car was ready within few hours. I brought my vehicle in for an ac compressor, and I asked if he can look into a rattling sound I heard when I accelerate, it was a clamp missing from my exhaust, he took care of it for me at no charge. Any other mechanic would charge to get this done. His prices for oil changes are reasonable as well. Let's keep this business open! Spread the word. Thanks Joe. Much appreciated. I'll see you soon!”
“Denny built me a race transmission for my 55 Chevy Nomad show car over 15 years ago and it still works well. It might need a tweak but it still works pretty good.”
“He helped me replace the lock on my shattered door very promptly and in a very professional manner. This is something that I would advise absolutely everyone to do.”
“Lawanda at Crowley Nissan is excellent. She helped me get out of my old broken car for a trade in and got me into a brand new 2025. Highly recommend her as she is honest and works hard at getting you the best deal!”

“I chose to purchase a vehicle here because they were local and had a high rating. I'm glad I went with my gut. The team was awesome and I had pleasant experience. Not pushy at all. Knowledgeable and overall just good people. Would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a used vehicle.”

“I recently bought a used car from Riverside Auto, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Zee, the owner, was honest, professional, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to answer all my questions, was upfront about the car’s history, and made sure everything was ready before pickup. The car runs great and was priced fairly. There were a few items he fixed a week later on his own accord even to make sure the car was in perfect condition!
If you’re looking for a trustworthy place to buy a used car, I highly recommend checking out Riverside Auto and asking for Zee — you’ll be in good hands!”

“Very fair man. Great to have conversation with does great answering any questions about tires makes me feel real comfortable with him working on my tires. It's also nice to go to a small town native for small repairs and help them being a small business not out for an extra dollar. He has all sizes of tires and offers fire wood to purchase for the long cold winters. Definitely happy with prices and how I was respected as a customer..”
“Hands down the best tire shop in the area! Called at 8am looking to purchase a set of all-terrain tires for my Jeep and drove away with a sweet set installed and aligned in less than 1.5 hrs!
