My experience with Harry and Ara was way above the 5 stars I gave them. My family and I came in on a tow truck with our 2022 VW Tiguan. It wasn't good, at all. We were on our way to Myrtle Beach for a family baseball vacation. 8 hrs into our journey and this is where we were. Stuck....Stranded. In a jam to say the least. Our car was not making this journey. Once Harry understood what was going on, he stepped up. He made us feel comfortable. Way outside our comfort zone of small town Maine. This young man treated us like family. He told me that was the way he was raised. He was raised well. Harry drove me around to try and locate a rental car to continue our trip. My wife and son stayed at the shop. But I knew they were safe. The rental cars fell thru..longer story. Harry then found us a rental thru Turo rentals. Then drove us to get the rental. He literally went out of his way for us! The car was to be looked at and diagnosed as soon as possible. We made our journey to Myrtle Beach. That Monday Harry was on the phone with me. Blew the oil pan. Not good but he did what needed to be done and upon return my car was ready! Drove home, no problems. If you have any auto needs do not hesitate to reach out to them. You will be treated like a human being, in a world where that is becoming a rarity. My son said to me, "Harry is the GOAT!" I said to him. He got that from his parents! I can not say thank you enough for them. Walt I. Smalltown, ME
