This place is situated in the middle of a beautiful forest, away from the toursit-y area. But the job is top notch and professional to say the least. Wanna give a shout-out to Amy, Bob and Chris for the expedient and friendly service. They are amazing! Thank you!

I called day-of needing a repair. Bobs said they were booked but to come and theyll do their best to help before our long trek back. When we got there two guys stopped what they were doing to check it out. They went above and beyond helping. Super nice, thank you!

While in the area on vacation, my brakes started making very loud noises.I felt it was caused by a sticking caliper. I called Bobs and spoke with Amy who had me come in. They quickly verified that my issue was with the calipers and ordered the needed parts. When the parts arrived they had them installed in a very timely manner and the price for the repairs was very fair. All the folks there were very nice and professional and the shop was very clean. I highly recommend Bobs

Brought my car over for a minor repair. They fixed the problem and didnt charge me. I got a great feeling about that, and I will use Bobs in the future..

They legit forgot to finnish screwing the tires in when they switched my winter ones out, had to turn around after a few feet of driving because the whole car was shaking. That was an awful experience. On top of that its now been 2 weeks when they said 3 days for a current repair. This place blows chunks, if you care about safely or time do not go here!!!!!

We were on a road trip visiting Acadia when I heard a strange noise coming from the car. We called Bobs, and they squeezed us in even though they had a full day. When we brought the car there, they helped us sooner than I thought they would. Despite not being able to replicate the issue, the mechanics made some guesses based on my description and were able to solve the problem in a very short time. They charged a very reasonable price as well.To anyone experiencing car trouble in Acadia or nearby, I strongly recommend checking in with Bobs.

I stopped here when one of my lights kept coming on and Mike was so kind to check out the car for me to ensure it would be safe for the rest of my vacation. I was worried about just showing up since I didnt have cell service to call in advance so I was super thankful they were able to help me despite having a full lot.

Our Odyssey failed to start on several occasions during our stay on MDI, so we assumed the battery had failed. Bob tested the battery minutes after our arrival and it checked out fine. We departed after 15 minutes of battery terminal cleaning and a $15 charge, and so far every start has been just fine. What could have been a vacation spoiler, turned into minor inconvenience. THANK YOU BOB!

The intake pipe on my 6.7 diesel blew out on our way to Bar Harbor. I called local ford dealers looking for help but received none. Should have called Bobs first! Steve was better than I could have asked for. They made sure the truck got fixed, saving our piece of mind for our vacation. His charge for everything was well below what I had expected. This is the place to go for auto work! Straight talkers, competent mechanics, reasonable prices. Thank you guys so much!

Highly recommend. Fast, professional service. Steve was very helpful and understanding. Needed to replace a cigarette lighter port that burnt out (not the fuse) which was needed to power my husbands portable oxygen machine in the car while on his last vacation. Steve got the parts and repaired it the same day. I am forever grateful for this garage. If you need fast immediate service try this place.

Had a flat tire. Dropped it off and left my number. They called when it was finished then reinstalled it on my SUV... he greased each bolt, tested each lug nut with a tourque wrench, checked the pressure on each tire including the spare. Extremely thorough! Reasonable price. Very neat shop. Very friendly, polite staff. Highly recommend!

I was on vacation and my tire got damaged on the first day! The hole was not fixable and I had no spare tire. Bob was great, he ordered a new tire at a very reasonable price (my dealer would have charged me a lot more) and replaced right after it arrived. I was so grateful. He saved our vacation. He is also a super nice person. Thank you!

On vacation, got a flat. Showed up 5 minutes before close to try and get our flat repaired. All 3 mechanics stopped what they were doing to come check it out and help. Ended up talking with one for 30 minutes about recommendations for things to do on Acadia. Fixed, installed, and paid. Super friendly and professional. I hope no one else gets into car trouble, but if you do this is where you would want to go. If I lived in the area I would go back for normal maintenance.

On multiple vacations over the last 10 years, Bobs Auto Repair has serviced/fixed several of my vehicles. Some of the best auto-service Ive ever experienced. Highly recommended. Unfortunately he couldnt fix a Ford Explorer transmission issue.

I was on vacation from New Jersey and on the way down Cadillac Mountain a brake pad fell off my car. Immediately could hear the grinding.. Made it back to my motel and asked the owner where to go. he explained the route which involved a painted rock and i found the place and he said come back at 6 am so i did. He immediately looked and saw what was needed and we then rode together into town to get the parts and i was on the road again by 830 maybe 9 am, vacation saved and for an extremely reasonable price and time. Thanks Bob If Im ever in the neighborhood and need anything fixed with my car thats where I,m going!!!

While I like Bob and think he does a good job but:I left my 2013 F150 for some left front end work, oil change and annual inspection. Done except he left oil filler cap off when finished.Also, left my wifes MB 2002 CLK430 for inspection and oil change. Done except he failed to install a new drain plug as required by MB. Within 300 miles had an oil leak. Sent text to Bob but no response. Disappointing.Will return but will doublecheck.

Amazing service! On a long road trip, I had a problem with my 1995 Saturn station wagon and barely limped into Bar Harbor, ME. I got a recommendation for Bobs Auto Repair from a local business owner and had my car towed to Bobs shop. I was thinking it might be a 2 week stopover since my car is so old and Ive had problems with locating parts in the past. I communicated by phone with Bob about the symptoms and we spoke during the day a couple of times. Since Bob had pro-actively ordered an alternator (based on our conversation), he was able to replace the alternator in a single day (never would have believed it!). But thats not all - he found that there had been an oil leak (probably a gasket had been left off in the prior oil change), changed the oil, tightened the battery, replaced a very worn belt and pulley - all work that prevented future breakdowns and problems. Plus, Bob is a lovely person and clearly works hard to anticipate problems and provide good value. He really saved me a whole lot of hassle and both me and my car are so grateful! I cant recommend this business more highly.
