Lots of things have changed under the hood over the past 40 years. Carburetors are out. Fuel injectors are in. Plugs and points are gone. Everything is electronic. Cars are increasingly becoming more like computers. One thing that hasn’t changed though is that customers still like to know and trust the person who’s working on their car. At Ocean Street Auto Repair that guy is Ted Abbott. He’s been helping customers keep their vehicles in top operating condition at Ocean Street for the past ten years. Now he owns the business.

Ted is an ASE Certified Mechanic. That means he has kept up to date with the changing technology. He has the experience, skills and tools needed to diagnose and repair most every make, model and year of car. Ted will always give you the information you need to make good choices about keeping your vehicles running well. He will tell you what’s wrong, how to fix it and how much it’s going to cost. You can count on him for great work at a fair price.

Over the next few weeks we will be updating this site to provide more information about our services. For now, we invite you to stop in and congratulate Ted (and get your oil changed).

We keep you on the road!

First time to be impressed workload a few real mechanics can accomplish weeks time
I have dealt with enough.
I once assumed that complex vehicle issues would certainly be fixed by brand name mechanics,
I've become FED-UP to see the dealership standard is mechanic Wimp out

Car was overheating they got me in right away. They did a leak test and determined I had a leak in one of my hoses.They got the hose replaced in about an hour. They got the car fixed and I was able to get back on the road to Florida. Ted worked on my car. He is very nice and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend ocean street auto repair.

Honest. Fast. Fairly Priced.
I have two shitty vans. They always need something done to them. I moved to South Portland from kennebunk earlier this year, at the same time losing my go-to friend for mechanical work. This guy did everything for me for beer, on his off time as good friends do. Without him I was lost.

I was a jackass and had a friend of a friend replace my rear brake pads and calipers and rotors. In the end he took three days and decided he couldn't bleed my brakes because it "would take too long and I have other places to be". I was pissed.

The closest mechanic to my home is ocean Street Auto repair. I found them on google. A small joint at the intersection of Broadway and main Street. I was prepared for an exorbitant bill.

Instead, he took care of me the same day, in just a couple hours. Not only did he bleed my brakes, but he fixed the shoddy and unsafe work the "friend of a friend"did that was incredibly unsafe. He also fixed the electrical problems that made my car stall at least once per trip. He also called me up to tell me that I should never have that man work on my car again.

He did this all for one hour labor.

Needless to say I was pleased. The next day I spoke to a random gentleman who wanted to buy my mustang. I told him where I brought my van and how happy I was. He mentioned he had brought several of his vehicles there, one of them was a Mercedes with an expected $2,000 bill for electrical issues. Ocean Street auto called him about 10 minutes after he dropped it off to tell him it was just a fuse, and there would be no charge.

Any auto repair shop that will do more than expected, and do it at the cost of a diagnostic or one hour of repair work, or even free in this gentleman's case, is one of a kind. Truly.

If you have to drive or have your car towed a few extra miles to get to ocean Street auto repair, do yourself a favor. Go out of your way for them. They will go out of their way for you!

Not happy with the parking lot.
Claudette heard a click, click, click as she drove away. At Hannaford she looked and found a screw in one of her rear tires. Probably picked it up doing all the backing & filling to turn around and leave your place. We'll take it to the Tire Warehouse tomorrow. Hope it doesn't go flat in the night or I'll have to struggle with the spare.

Excellent service.
As usual Ted and Ocean Street auto repair have gone above and beyond any one in the industry, providing top notch quality service at an honest price.
He even came in to work on a holiday weekend to finish the job as promised.
I have and will continue to recommend this business to friends and family.
