Bangor Auto & Truck Center

Bangor Auto & Truck Center is an auto repair shop based in Hermon, Maine, at 26 Dave's Way. Its main work is cars and trucks, and it also does RV chassis repair. The work is done at the shop, so plan on bringing the RV in.

The RV work is limited to "RV Chassis repair for RV models that are 10 years old or newer." It names no RV brands or types. Its miscellaneous services also include pre-trip inspections, trailer hitches, wiring and tires, wheel bearings, and hubs, seals, studs and nuts. A pre-trip inspection is worth booking before a long haul, since a worn wheel bearing or a bad tire is easier to fix at a shop than on the highway. It lists Hermon, Bangor, Carmel, Levant, Hampden, Brewer, Winterport and Holden as areas it serves.

It publishes no RV hourly rate, trip fee or diagnostic fee, so ask about cost when you call. It says it will "provide you with an easy to understand estimate before beginning any services," so ask for that estimate before work starts. It is open Monday through Friday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM, and closed on weekends. For after-hours drop-off, it offers "convenient after-hours drop-off services" in Hermon. You fill out a drop-off form and leave your keys in a secure drop box.

The shop says, "We stand behind all of our work with a guarantee you can count on." It also accepts "most extended warranties," so a service contract may cover some of the bill. It names no RV certification, license or insurance, so ask which certifications the tech working on your rig holds. Google rates it 4.7 stars from 93 reviews and lists it as an RV repair shop.

This is a good fit for an RV owner near Hermon or Bangor whose rig is 10 years old or newer, needs chassis work, and can be dropped off on a weekday. Owners of older rigs should ask before booking.
