Integrity
Great work from the entire crew of Bruce's Auto Service. You can count on Craig and crew to treat your money as if it was their own, always making suggestions to save you money. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Oil leak
I checked my oil dip stick and found zero indication of oil in the engine. Called “Bruce’s” got an immediate response, “bring the car over ASAP”! Upon arrival I met Brett in the office, told him my story, he said I’ll check w/Craig just wait in the office. 20 minutes later I was on my way! Oil leak repaired, oil
level topped up! Many thanks to the entire crew!!

Emergency flat tire
We have a very demanding schedule and a flat tire can really disrupt one’s routine. Bruce’s Auto accommodated us and had us on our way in no time. They also inspect basic items and let you know if you have other issues that should be dealt with. They have very reasonable pricing.

Responsive to urgency
Murphy's law played out as my Suburu's tire had developed a slow leak which worsened during a week it was needed for multiple deliveries. Bruce's staff offered to repair the leak the same day. They also took note of a less urgent grease leak and scheduled me in for repair in a less hectic upcoming week.

Craig got my vehicle assessed and back on the road quickly.
Bruce's Auto has been my go to vehicle repair place for almost 35 years. Craig is always available and straight forward with explaining repair issues. I have been more than satisfied with the work they have prefeed over the years and they stand behind their work. Honest Mainers serving hard working Mainers.
