The dealership I would describe as average. I was there for service and cannot speak of the sales department. There was an electrical problem that my usual mechanic could not fix. It turns out Darling's Kia was no better and much more expensive. The mechanic , I assume wasn't given enough time to find the real issue. Instead a new battery was installed. On the way home the same problem occured, leaving me stranded. So much for the Dealer expertise.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We understand the battery was likely due for replacement, but we also want to make sure the other symptoms you experienced are fully looked into rather than leaving you stranded again. Our Service Manager Ryan Wilson would like to set up a follow up appointment to dig deeper into the issue and can be reached directly at 207 992 1865. We appreciate the chance to make this right. Thank you for choosing Darling's Kia in Bangor and for your business.

Made an otherwise stressful decision quite pleasant. Kudos to my favorite non pressure salesman, Shawn. Everyone was very nice. We have done business with Darling’s for years and have always been very satisfied!

Outstanding service. Good timing. Only did the work that was needed, not overcharging by trying to do work that was not needed.

Outstanding service! Management was there from the getgo! I was more than satisfied with how efficient Ryan & his team were at diagnosing then fixing the problem. The system in place is professional. Meaning business is done with an assurance to quality. Transparancy was effective i felt. Though im a 1st time customer its obvious to me there is consistency thruout the process here. I say this because my opinion holds merit. For over 30 yrs i've worked in the customer service field. Preference is training the do/do nots to incl. newhire-Mngment. So i am saying this for good reason! When a customer feels included throughout the process is more times than not very appreciated. It takes a good manager to keep the crew mindful! As Darlings did their job i was always informed at each step. Post initial assessment, an objective accompanied by options presented in detail for me to consider were available. By the time i left all my stress was gone! Instead i left feeling confident that when I return in 2 wks my car would be good as new. It was! My apologies for the reviews length but it needed to be said. Unfortunately its rare. Thank you Darling's. Again, thank you to both Ryan's along with those who helped me out. I'm grateful..
