This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Central Street Automotive LLC in Bucksport Township, ME scores 87/100. Overall sentiment is strong: reviewers highlight the fast turnaround and courteous, honest father‑and‑son team, with minimal wait times and same‑day fixes on brakes/suspension, plus helpful after‑hours assistance. A notable outlier cites a serious A/C repair issue and poor follow‑up, tempering the praise. Pricing details, inventory variety, yard organization, and ease of finding parts aren’t well covered in these reviews, so those remain unclear. For service quality and responsiveness, this shop stands out.
What clients say about Central Street Automotive LLC in Bucksport Township (ME)
Our car ran low on coolant while we’re out here on vacation and our tow truck driver saw this shop with their doors open and pulled in. The guys were super helpful and put coolant in our car for us, even though it wasn’t actually their operating hours at the time we were there. We’re about 600 miles from home so it was incredibly sweet and helpful of them.
Wonderful experience with them. They got my car right in and replaced the brakes and ball joins. They got me back on the road on the same day we could not be happier. Honest father and son business.
Owner replaced air conditioning assembly kit, which cost $900 with air conditioning not working when I got car back. Refused to fix it, referred me to Jamie Thomas who has been so helpful. He agrees that Central Street should take my car back and fix properly. I am not sure what appointment he is talking about that I did not show up for. He did not offer me anymore help in fixing the problem, and wanted nothing to do with it. I talked with Auto Radiator in Bangor, and they also said Central Street should take my car and redo the job properly. From what I gather between these two mechanics is that Central Street was not equipped to do the job, and should have referred me to someone else in the beginning. Everything has to be redone, they should have put in a new condenser. I have health conditions that make my eyes flare in the heat, so I have had to miss work because I have no air in my car, and now I need to pay another $900 to get it fixed properly.
