Bug-N-Joe's Automotive Service LLC. in
Clinton Township (ME)

We were on our way to Acadia National Park & got a flat on our tire. Luckily we were able to make it to Bug-N-Joe's Automotive. They were very efficient and very nice mechanics; plugged our tire and did not even charge us. We were very grateful for their help. Thank you and greatly appreciate their services.

Got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and couldn’t get the tire off to put the spare on. He came to me and not only put in the spare but plugged the flat tire. So nice.

Joe and company saved me when I was stranded on the highway and did not overcharge me. I can't recommend these guys more highly.

Stopped in on the way back home from Augusta because car was make a loud noise. Owner came out and found it to be a loose heat shield rubbing on the drive shaft. Fix it so l could get home for no charge. If l lived it the area he would be my mechanic.

Couldn’t ask for better service from this business! I stumbled upon this place while walking on the road to kill time while I waited for my help to arrive after my heat shield came loose and was dragging on the interstate. One of the workers was outside and he didn’t hesitate to help when I asked if I could bring my car for them to look at it. They got my car right up on the lift and re-attached the heat shield within 15 minutes. They made my day as I was on my way to MA and was prepared to have to wait longer/potentially not be able to fix the heat shield on the side of the road. Thank you to all those who were involved!

I have had the worst day of my life and i beat stage 4 cancer. Nothing can compare to that miserable process aside from how today unfolded. I came to this place expecting to be told no when I asked for permission to grab a used tire out of the pile for a simple get me home fix. This man, he must have seen the look of defeat and desperation in my eyes because not only did I get 2 matching nearly new looking tires, he gave me a valve stem for free too. I know to you folks this sounds like no big deal, to me it meant more than I can articulate. I have spent my life in the service of others. From being in the 172nd mountain infantry to the old folks I bring food and supplies to when I can afford it. I had all I could do to try and choke down the tears. I wanted to throw my arms around him like we have not seen eachother in years. He is what's missing in the world today and for that seemingly simple reason, this company deserves your patronage even just to pop in and bring them a random tire or what not to fix. A company that has a man like that at the helm has my respect and admiration. I will tell this story to everyone I meet until I die or they ask me to stop. They will be in business for as long as people enjoy being treated like a friend, not a customer. In closing, thank you so very much, and that doesn't begin to pay back the kindness that was displayed here today. As I broke the window of my friends car in the parking lot, his concern was not of glass shards or potential lawsuits like any other person in his position, his was simply, "how can I help?" I have no words. No words at all.

Called because we were hearing a strange noise, they quickly found that our wheel was loose, and fixed it in 10 minutes, free of charge. Can’t thank you enough!

Joe saved me when I had car trouble while passing through on a road trip. He diagnosed and fixed the problem for me even though he was short-staffed, and was very kind to boot. He was more than fair and even gave me some free advice about other (non-urgent but important) issues with my car that I should get fixed when I returned home. An honest mechanic! I wish I lived closer so I could call him again!

Great little gem of a shop, only place my mechanic son-in-law will trust with his own vehicles! Excellent work, friendly guys 😊

I was traveling on I-95 with my plow when In noticed something spraying on my windshield. I pulled off at the Clinton exit and confirmed that my plow was leaking fluid. I remembered that Bug-N-Joes was just down the road. I stopped in and spoke with the gentleman there ( I did not even get his name) and he came right out and saw a bad hose on the plow. He took the time to shorten the chain so the plow could not bleed down and got me back on the road. Truly good people and I highly recommend them.

Thank you to these great people. They helped me on the spot and when they realized other issues they got the parts and fixed it. Awesome shop. Great mechanics and the owners listen and take all jobs seriously. Best garage in clinton, maine.

I had a self-imposed auto emergency and was pulled over on the side of the road at 3:30p on a Friday afternoon. Bug came out, picked me up, towed me to the shop and Slice had me up and running again in time to pick up my kids at daycare at 4:30p. These guys saved my life (not for the first time.) You don't get this kind of neighborly small town service much anymore. Thanks guys!

Excellent service and great people! I trust them completely with my vehicles and my wallet. They always have time to help, even though the dependable service has them busy at all times. Haven't taken a car anywhere else since my first visit!

Joe was a life safer, we were from out of town, driving back to Boston to catch a flight, he fixed up our tire, then refuses payment! Joe is a great guy, God bless this man.

Wow! What a great business and excellent service. Our daughter lives down there and we live 5 hours away from her. Her car broke down, they came towed it and squeezed it in today when they were probably booked for the day. I would recommend this Bug-N-Joe's! Automotive !5 🌟 service and customer service!Thank you!

I have to take a moment to say how amazing this shop is! We were drive through and our battery light came on. We got off the main road and went into a parking lot! A very nice gentleman came over noticing our license was out of town and had us follow him to this shop! The man working there dropped everything he was doing to come over to us! He spent quite a bit of time and got us on our way! I appreciate him, and the gentleman who got us there! 10 star for the kindness they showed us in a world that is moving so fast they put us first for absolutely no other motivation other than being kind! AMAZING! Makes me want to move to Maine!!❤️❤️

These guys saved my butt! I pulled in just after closing and explained an issue that I was having with my breaks before driving home to Vermont, and they stayed several hours late, picked up parts, fixed my car (gave us access to Netflix?!), and offered my friend and I sandwiches. Hands down the nicest people we've met in the area.

Hands down this is the best place ever !!! The staff is amazing friendly and does not treat me like I am stupid because I am a woman . They are honest and are not out to get ever dime out of you ! They helped me today more than they know ! This is our new family mechanic . I thank you guys so much for helping me today which was a simple fix . The garage I went to two weeks ago did not diagnose this issue and told me it was a rear shock this was not the case at all ! That garage wanted hundreds of dollars for a 5 second fix !

My wife, five (5) young children and I broke down as soon as we exited I-95 in Clinton. A Clinton Police Officer stopped and checked on us and found we needed vehicle repairs. He recommended Bug and Joe’s to us and called. Within just a few minutes they had diagnosed the issues as a fuel pump failure. At 5:40pm, my vehicle and my camper where being towed into the shop. They located the part, went and picked it up and replaced it. By 8:30pm I was pulling out and on my way back to North Carolina. Did I mention that this all occurred on a Friday night at 5:30 pm. The guys were awesome to my family and I and did everything they could to get my truck fixed and back on the road as quickly as possible. When I was given my bill, I was blown away. My wife and I had speculated what it would cost to do the repairs after hours on a Friday night. The bill was almost a third (1/3) of what I expected. If I lived in the area they would be the only shop that worked on any of my vehicles.

Got a flat tire at 5:30pm on a Friday going to a bachelor's party. Didn't think we were going to find anyone open. We got to Bug n Joe's. They took us in and quickly replaced the tire. We would've been stranded otherwise since our buddy didn't have the key to change the tire ourselves. Great guys. Great place.

I was in a pickle and Bug and Joe’s saved the day! They were super polite and squeezed me in real quick so I could continue my long trek back to Virginia without having to hear my skid plate dragging along the highway the whole way. Real great guys!

I had called 5 different places to get one tire mounted, they all were full or closing I called Bug N joes and he said come on over!!! We got there and the garage was amazing, clean , friendly And bug and his son were very accommodating. We were not even there very long and I had the best time and conversations! I highly recommend them and will!! Thank you for being so welcoming.

Was traveling back to NYC from a wedding in Bar Harbor when my AC suddenly stopped working. Not only did the team at Bug N Joe’s immediately fit me in, despite the fact that I’m not from the area and had no preexisting relationship with the garage, but they took such great care of me. Totally fixed the problem (quickly!), went above and beyond, gave me an incredibly reasonable price, and were so kind. I’m not usually one to write reviews on Google, but these people saved the day. Cannot recommend them enough!!

LIFESAVERS!! - My hertz rental broke down, thankfully only 1 mile away from Bug - N - Joe’s. They helped me every step of the way! Not only were they experts on my car, quickly figuring out what was wrong, but also gave great advice about how rental companies worked with maintenance. They helped me through next steps and went out of their way to get me to my final destination 45 minutes away! These guys take customer service to the next level. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to have stumbled upon this shop, not many out there like it! Thanks again!!

Got our inspection done here and they really took the extra time to go over any concerns we had with the car. Love the lobby! Has complimentary beverages (not just coffee) and comfy upscale leather seats. Thanks!

Extremely impressed with the service. Brought my avalanche in to have a bearing replaced. They were professional and everybody had a great attitude. The work was finished in no time. Will definitely return for future work.

We broke down last week about 35 miles from home. We called BUG-N-Joes. They towed our truck, and gave us a ride to our house.The next day they had our truck fixed. We were informed every step of the way and the cost was very reasonable. We would like to thank them again and would highly recommend them for towing and repairs. The truck runs great guys!
