What clients say about The Brake / Exhaust Center in Raymond Township (ME)
Top notch service from start to finish! They were able to squeeze me in last minute and really got me out of a pinch! Couldn’t be happier with my experience!
Dave and Ted were both amazing to work with on purchasing a vehicle. Dealerships can be a little intimidating generally as a woman but they made the whole experience great! The process was very quick and they answered all of my questions very openly, honestly and in a way that I was able to understand well. I highly recommend them!!!
Got my first car from these folks! A very reasonably priced 2008 Santa Fe Hyundai that ran like a dream until the end (and I only sold it because I wanted a newer car!). Only ever needed minor age related repairs. On optional 'quality of life' repairs they were honest and up front that the repairs weren't necessary for the cars safety or operation, instead of trying to convince me to drop $2k like many other mechanic shops would do. That baby was pushing 200k miles and still had plenty left to go thanks to their great and honest work. Also Daisy is a treat!
Recently purchased a Hyundai Kona from The Brake & Exhaust Center and couldn’t be happier! The entire process was smooth, the staff was friendly and professional, and the vehicle was in excellent condition. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we need a car!
I bought a 2019 Volkswagen off Dave, it’s a smooth ride, was very reasonably priced. I love it! Dave was flexible and accomodating and truthfully made the whole process so easy. I found it on Facebook marketplace which can be sketchy- but I assure you this is far from that.
Huge piece of mind knowing the car came from a genuine guy. Highly recommend. Thanks Dave!
Very happy with the truck I bought from Dave. He is a genuinely honest businessman who stands behind his work. Would definitely buy another vehicle from him and recommend The Brake and Exhaust center to my friends and family.
I bought vehicle here, very up front honest and friendly. In addition had something come up after I purchased the vehicle and they worked hard to tale care of the problem and were very good about it.
Excellent service. Incredibly quick and affordable! The courteous staff and the adorable mascot were nice, as was the comfortable waiting area. Thank you!
We have several vehicles in my household & for the past few years we have been using this garage for maintenance & repairs. They are Honest & do great work!
2014 Ford F150 crew cab .. welding bracket weld to exhaust pipe had broken due to 10 year's exposure to the Maine elements .. Ford dealer would not reuse the weld bracket and said Ford only sold the replacement system as one piece from the intake manifold thru the muffler to the end of the tailpipe, with the welding bracket factory welded in place for an $800 replacement part .. so with labor, I was looking at close to $1 grand to get it fixed with a Ford factory system .. i suspended the dangling exhaust pipe butt end with baling wire and could have let it go at that and the dealer said the wire job was good enough to pass inspection, but I knew a few winters down the road the wire would rust out and I'd be in the same position all over again .. so i took it into Brake/Exhaust Center in Raymond and they ground the rust off the old welding bracket to get a clean welding surface and welded the puppy back on for $54 .. they did not jack me around or try to retire on my job or make the Hodgdon yacht payment off of me .. kudos to them for being honest and nice .. who does that these days, anyway? .. what goes around comes around, I'll be back ..
Always get my car in for service in a timely manner, friendly and reasonably priced, we brought my boyfriends handicapped van in for service and when he got it home he found that the technician did not do a lot of repairs that he had asked them to so I was very disappointed in their work so I unfortunately have changed my rating.
Called for an appointment for my car and they set me up for the next day and let me drop my car off the night before. Still finished my brakes when most places closed for snow and had my car warming up for me when I came to pick it up . 10/10 would recommend
Had rear brakes and rotors repalced on my F150. I asked for upgraded rotors and brakes which they gladly did. Proce out the door was 1/2 what the dealership wanted. Would definitely go back. Have also used them for State Inspections also and have had no issues.
Front calipers were dragging, creating a harsh noise in the mornings when I first used my brakes. Not only did they get me a next-day appointment, but it was speedy service, and they came in way under the original quote because they managed to salvage one of the calipers! Gentleman who performed the work spoke with me after a test drive and explained exactly what was going on and how he fixed it. Dakota in the office was very kind and knowledgeable. Absolutely recommend these folks for anything brake/exhaust related! :)
They literally never disappoint. Friendly people and fair prices. They’re honest and let you know what needs to be fixed/replaced right now versus what can be fixed later on in the future.
Go here for all my oil changes, had a leak in my tire, which they fixed but I'm a little annoyed. Had a leak in my tire which was apparently the valve, instead of calling and letting me know they put it on and charge me 50 bucks for it, I'll go here again but please call before doing something on someone's car not everyone has the money to fix things right away.
These guys do much more than brakes & exhaust. I happened to stop by for a CV replacement short notice and they were able to squeeze me in the next day. Fast friendly service and much better rate than anyone in town plus figured out how to work me in since we only have one car as a single parent family.
The people here are honest and reliable. I appreciate the time they take to make sure I'm not doing unnecessary repairs on my vehicle! It's hard these days to find a genuine Auto repair facility that doesn't look at you like another dollar sign. Thanks guys, I will be returning!
Excellent service...was booked an appointment the same day..which was needed..and they were very professional and timely, going over and above what I expected. Highly recommended!
I had a great experience. They were straightforward and easy to do business with. They identified some work that did not need to be done even though the dealer told me differently. Good communication, too. I will return for future work on our vehicles.
Diagnosed why my engine light was on honestly and within the timeframe they gave. Super friendly staff. They came very highly recommended and I now see why! I'll definitely be using them from now on.
Their prices are great, their work is top notch, and even though I was a bit of an annoying customer, remembering things partway through the service, they got the work done without complaint.
Will definitely return for future service!
I drive sports cars and I bring it in for inspection these guys are revving my car, sitting around, talking about random things wasting time. After the inspection I come back to my car and see my shifter boot totally mangled and ripped up and out of place and they say have a good day. I do not recommend wasting any amount of your time with these people. A bunch of teenagers working there who really do not have the slightest clue on how cars really work. The disrespect is utterly abysmal. I have never received such service that was bad until I went to them.
Terrible people to deal with. i was a loyal customer for 20 years. Not anymore. Sent my daughter to have her car inspected. They sent her home with a long list of front end parts that need to be replaced. About $800.00. While my daughter was there the mechanic came in and whispered he broke a part. When I called them out on it, it conveniently belonged to anothed car. At that time the mechanic then says well we never even put it on the lift. If that is so how do we know she needs a new front end mmm mmm. Fishing for business. Do not recommend this place for any thing.
Absolutely amazing place. Came to get my sticker and found out there was a(minor) problem. The folks here fixed it up for me quickly and practically only charged me for the part. Super friendly staff!! And they have a sweet pup to keep you company in the waiting area!!!
I have been doing business with this place for 11 years, with much satisfaction until my last visit on March 30th. My wife's car needed a new inspection sticker before the end of the month, so I called them at 9 in the morning to see if she could get in at the end of the day. They told me that if she got there by 4:15 PM, they could get it done. She left work early, drove out of her way to get there, and arrived at 4:10. They put her car on the lift and came in about 10 minutes later and told her she was all set. However, they told her that they had stickered their quota of 8 cars that day, and couldn't put a sticker on her car until she came back tomorrow. She asked why they had a quota of 8 and they told her that it was an 8 hour shift, and each inspection was supposed to take an hour to do. (Should have been a red flag right there). The next day she did the same thing, left work early, drove out of her way, and arrived at about 4:15. They told her that they had met their quota again today and that they did not have a sticker left to put on her car. After lighting the salesperson up about the fact that she would now be driving an uninspected vehicle,, she called me, and I called them immediately. I told them that over the last 11 years I had used them for 3 major brake jobs, they custom built my exhaust for my hot rod, and I had brought in several of my vehicles for inspection stickers, and I had NEVER received this kind of crappy service. That was when they told me they were under new ownership and it wasn't the same bunch that had been there in the past. I will NEVER do business with these guys again, and I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere for your automotive repair needs!
