  1. Doug has cared for my automotive repair needs with a personal interest and integrity that surpasses brand. I’ll follow wherever he goes.

  2. Wally has gotten the best service manager in the World. I spent many happy hours with Doug maintaining my Ford Explorer in excellent shape. He recommended I buy this one. It had 36,000 miles and he drove it about and said it was a good buy. Ironically, my next purchase was a new Prius from Lee in Topsham. It is a small world after all. You should be able to expand your business now that you have such good employees. Don Nicolson, Farmington..
