Compare the highest-rated dodge repair mechanics in Stetson, Maine. All shops are licensed, insured, and verified through our rigorous screening process.
Widely regarded as the premier performance and tuning shop in Eastern Maine. They specialize exclusively in modern, high-horsepower domestic vehicles, with a heavy focus on Dodge SRT, Hellcat, and Ford Performance models. Their core service is advanced ECU and TCM tuning using HP Tuners software, but they offer full mechanical services for forced induction systems, engine builds, and transmission work. They are the go-to for anyone with a modified or stock high-performance Dodge looking for more power or expert-level diagnostics.
While not exclusively a performance shop, they are the leading transmission specialist in the region and are certified by the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA). They have specific, documented expertise with the complex ZF 8HP70 and 8HP90 8-speed transmissions found in Chargers, Challengers, and Durangos. They also perform comprehensive drivetrain services, making them the top choice for AWD system diagnostics and repair for Dodge Durango and Jeep SRT models. Their technicians receive factory-level training on ZF systems.
As the primary factory-authorized dealership for Stellantis (Dodge's parent company) in the area, they offer OEM-level service and technical support. They are the only provider on this list with direct access to Mopar parts, proprietary WiTech diagnostic software, and factory-certified technicians. This is the definitive choice for warranty work, factory recall service, and maintaining a vehicle's OEM specifications. Their master technicians have specific training on Hellcat, Demon, and SRT models directly from the manufacturer.
** The Dodge repair market serving Stetson, Maine, is characterized by a need to travel to the Bangor area for specialized, high-performance service. There are no "Dodge-only" specialists in Stetson itself; general auto repair shops in the town handle basic maintenance but lack the equipment and expertise for HEMI, SRT, or ZF transmission complexities. The competition for this niche is moderate in the regional hub of Bangor. The three providers listed represent a clear hierarchy: 1. **The Performance Specialist (Granite State Chips)** for tuning and modifications. 2. **The Drivetrain Expert (Certified Transmission)** for transmission and AWD issues. 3. **The Factory Authority (Downeast Dodge)** for warranty and OEM-correct repairs. **Average Quality:** For standard Dodge models, quality is good across general shops. For high-performance models, quality is highly dependent on choosing one of the specialists above. **Competition Level:** Low within Stetson; moderate-to-high for the performance niche in the greater Bangor area. **Typical Pricing:** * General Maintenance (Oil Change, Brakes): $80 - $150/hr labor. * High-Performance/Diagnostic Labor: $120 - $180/hr (Granite State Chips and the dealership command the highest rates). * Major Services (Transmission rebuild, engine work): $2,500 - $7,000+, depending on the vehicle and extent of work. Hellcat supercharger service or ZF transmission repair is at the top end of this scale.
