    Best Sales & Customer Overall Experience - Benaiah S.

    I had an excellent sales representative (Benaiah S.) who couldn’t have made my buying experience any easier or better. It was so good, that I also sent a purposeful thank you for such a positive experience 3 months ago after my purchase! Unfortunately, the laundry center I purchased (with a service contract) was malfunctioning immediately after being delivered and installed. As a result, I was in contact with the service department to address my problem. Though the service department was respectful and listened, I was getting passed through multiple hoops without anyone seriously demonstrating a desire to resolve my ongoing 3 month issue with the solution just sending multiple technicians to look at the unit without anyone having any solutions. Since Benaiah was so helpful initially in sales and I was running out of options and frustration level growing, I contacted Benaiah hoping he may be able to help or influence something that could get attention. The 5 star review is for Benaiah. He responded immediately, reassured me he would personally look into the matter and he single-handedly completely resolved my issue. Benaiah went above and beyond and I very much appreciate his care and commitment to excellent customer service and satisfaction. If it were not for Benaiah’s care, communication and professionalism this would have been a much different review. Thank you Benaiah!

    **Wow, what an amazing discovery!** I walked into **Sunsations** in the tourist area and was completely blown away ? The store is huge, super spacious, bright and full of summer vibes. They have an insane selection — literally thousands of items! Stunning swimwear for women, men, and kids, beautiful cover-ups, towels, accessories, hats, sunglasses, beach shoes, shirts, and perfect souvenir gifts. The prices were excellent, much better than I expected in a tourist spot. I found high-quality pieces at really good prices and even caught some great deals. Everything is well organized, clean, and easy to browse. I could take my time trying things on without any pressure. The staff was incredibly friendly, smiling, and helpful. I left with full bags, a huge smile on my face, and feeling totally ready for the beach! **Bottom line: Sunsations is an absolute must-visit!** One of the best and most impressive stores I’ve been to. 5 stars and beyond!! ??????????? I highly recommend it to everyone in the area!

  • TomCat Car Wash Should Be Shut Down

    If there was a - 0 star rating I would be all in! This was a decent car was 10 or more years ago but has been on the decline for quite some time now. There is rarely ever anyone manning the store should a customer have an issue such as the money box taking your money and failing to provide the service you paid for like a thief in the night! The mechanism responsible for dispensing soap and wax is clearly often adjusted to minimum or is in need of repair altogether. The money taker boxes are often out of order and the bays are rarely cleaned of debris. The minute counters often rob the customer of valuable time as you are placing the many quarters into it. I believe the owner is fully aware that his customers cannot wash their vehicle as they are loading the many quarters required to get the job done. I decided enough was enough when I brought my truck there recently to give it a good wash. I drove the truck to the open air platform to the far right since this gives you more room to move around if you have a large vehicle. I proceeded to place my coins in the box and it gobbled up about $2.50 or more worth of quarters then totally jammed up taking my money like a mechanical thief. I then walked over to see if maybe this was my lucky day finding someone who actually showed up to man the store. No such luck! I asked a fellow who was walking around if he worked there and he stated that he did not. He asked me if I had an issue and I explained that the money taker on the far end took my money not providing the service I paid for. I was flabbergasted at his response to my concern. He stated that it was not the end of the world and that it was only money - Yikes, Really?! He went on to say that the owner is a "Really Nice Guy" and that he would refund you if he was present. Sorry but in my world a "Really Nice Guy" mans the store, maintains his equipment, and takes care of his customers. A really nice guy doesn't hide behind a machine that robs people of their money. I drove my truck from this wash station to the next one on the left and that one was out of order. So I then drove my truck around to the next wash bay to the left of that. Bare in mind that every time you have to change bays at this location you must make a loop around back into the street, drive to a stop sign, wait for oncoming traffic taking a right then another right back into the lot to select another bay to enter. I proceeded to put my quarters in the box. The damn box was counting down the time I needed to wash my truck as I was placing the coins in the slot - robbing be of valuable minutes needed to get my truck cleaned. When all was said and done the unit also dispensed very little to no soap and the pressure stopped abruptly which resulted in a downward momentum which caused the metal tip of the nozzle to slam down upon the trucks finish creating a scratch in the paint. At the end of the day it cost me approx. $12.00 to $15.00 to wash my truck and it still wasn't clean due to this tight slumlord who likely cut back the flow of soap to adequately wash my truck. And I've got a new scratch as a special bonus since Mr. tightwad refused to keep rubber protection devices at the end of his spray nozzles. If this slum lord had enough common sense and had enough courtesy for his customers he would see to it that the nozzles had a rubber tip at the end of all nozzles to protect the consumers investment in their vehicles. Needless to say that I have had it with this establishment. I will never return to this car was as long as it is owned by this greedy slumlord. I will also be filing a complaint with the City of Biddeford and look into filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and consumer protection agencies. Perhaps I can also contact the media to determine if they can bring some cameras over there to expose this businesses shady practices.

  • Matt Isaacs is a rip off artist

    Paid Matt Isaacs a $100 deposit on June 12 to sketch a tattoo design that I sent him an exact picture of. I was told would be ready in a few days. Over a month later—after broken phones, lost info, and multiple follow-ups—I finally got a sketch on July 22. Asked for minor tweaks, but never got them. On July 30, I canceled (11 days before the appt) and was met with multiple “blocked” text messages (I have proof) before being told nothing was blocked. I requested my $100 back, since it was never stated as non-refundable—only that it would hold the appt and go toward the tattoo. He refused after several attempts and told me I was "stocking" him. I also contacted the owner Bob Johnson via email - he never responded. Pretty sure I'm not the first person Matt has ripped off, seems like he knows just how to do it. Poor communication, long delays, and unprofessional handling. Would not recommend Matt Isaacs or Good and Evil Tattoo shop.

  • Harley Painting

    Stephen completed a full house interior and partial exterior paint job on my cottage. Stephen did an amazing job and made sure the job was done to his high expectations and ours! We couldn’t be more happy with the results.

  • Best Massage and great value

    Not sure what others are talking about but these people give a massage that I feel for days. Loosened all my tight muscles. She worked very hard and you could tell she wanted to make me happy. The place is clean and they schedule you fast. Wanted an impulsive massage and they got me right in! Lucy was great. This was my second visit and the lady I had last time was just as awesome! A real massage finally!
