Sullivan Tire & Auto Service

Unfortunately, I had to visit Sullivan’s Tires last week due to some big bolt (or something!) completely flattening out a tire on my rental car. This happened during my first few hours in Maine just as I was driving out to go exploring. Was able to get my car into the shop and explained to them what had happened. They said it would be a wait but would do what they could. Now mind you, I was not expecting this expense and definitely didn’t want to sit around at a tire shop on my vacation, but these guys were great. I mostly earth with Todd, who was very helpful and personable even though I was stressed and probably too talkative! They had were quick dealing with my rental car company and had the new tire on in about half he time they had said it would be. On top of that, they were able to apply a coupon without me even asking, knowing that this was an unexpected expense of my trip. Very friendly and got the job done. Thank you!

Moved to Maine and went to get my car inspected. My car had just passed a New York inspection three months earlier so I didn’t think much needed to be done other than maybe the front brakes. Well Sullivan listed multiple items. This caught me by surprise so I decided to get a second opinion. Sure enough, all I needed was front brakes. I think Sullivan tried to rip me off. I will never go back there. I saved over $ 1000 by getting a second opinion.

This place HAS to be the biggest rip off in town. I had them give me a quote for 4 brand new tires, the cheapest they have. The quote they gave me was $ 1100.00!
Luckily I decided to call around to a few other places and everywhere else quoted me $ 450.00 to $ 500.00.
When I mentioned what Sullivan Tire had quoted, the other places said they weren’t sure why they tried to charge so much.
Also paid to have filter and fluid changed while I was there and when I checked the fluids I noticed the filter was the same one that was there and they hadn’t even put windshield washer fluid.
I would suggest going elsewhere, I would not recommend them to anyone.

Total fail. I was lied to and treated like a moron before I finally had to take the car elsewhere. Women, avoid this place.
