Stopped in right when he opened to see if he could help and assess some extreme rattling underneath my vehicle that I was concerned with which might lead to the exhaust falling off. jim or whoever was behind the counter immediately got Hornery with me and complained he was by himself and 2 weeks out on repair. 2 weeks???? Sounds a bit ridiculous. May I suggest that he either hire more staff, lose the attitude or just shut the business down and go fishing. Sunoco in kennebunkport had me up on the lift and problem rectified in 30 minutes so I could make my 4 hour ride back home. Jim should think twice before being rude to visitors otherwise he ends up with reviews like this.

Carl,owner of Jim's runs a fabulous auto repair business. I have been going there more than 15 years. Carl is extremely honest and won't "fix" anything that doesn't need to be repaired or replaced.

A great local shop where the owner is in the shop. Carl is a trustworthy mechanic with many years of experience and seems to always treat his customers fairly. I wouldn't hesitate to send people to him.

Jim's Auto repair in Kennebunk is owned & operated by Carl Haskel - Jim was the prior owner. I have repeated had my auto needs taken care of at his garage for many years and he is a fair priced, prompt and competent auto service man. Jim runs a one-man garage and as I often drive by his garage, I almost always see multiple cars there requesting or waiting for his service. He is remarkably prompt in getting the work done when he tells you he will & he calls you to inform you when the vehicle is ready for pickup. His bills are itemized and very fairly priced. If you want great service go to Jim's - if you want a chit chat - find a friendly therapist.

We have all of our basic auto maintenance done here. Carl does a wonderful job for us; over the years, he has maintained a Honda, a Saab, and a BMW! Also, he never tackles a job he doesn't have the equipment to handle; he refers you as necessary. All business and very professional. That's why you see cars parked there day after day; people appreciate his competence. Reasonable prices, quick turnaround, and HONESTY! Dealerships give you a long list of items in their "checklist" that they claim need to be repaired; the next time you go the list is different even though you haven't had any work done in the interim! We gave Carl this list one time, and he agreed with only one of about eleven things when we picked it up! That creates a true sense of trust in his character.

Being an older gal and knowing NOTHING about automobiles I find some of these reviews unbelievable. The tourist who complained that Carl never took his face away from the auto he was working on should put his complaint in proper context. Naturally, Carl must service his local customers prior to a walk in. After all ...Jim's is a small LOCAL company and in order to survive especially when busy, his repeat customers are entitled to be taken care of first! I suspect in these 2 negative reviews there is MORE to the story. Personally I treasure the honesty and kindness shown to me whenever I need Carl's service. I have lived in Kennebunk for 45 years & am thankful for finding Carl during 20 of those 45 years. HONEST, FAIR pricing & KIND. You cannot ask for more.
