I have a pretty old car (a 1989 190e Mercedes) and when I told Mike (the owner) that I wasn't sure what had happened, he quickly identified the problem. Earlier that day I called him and introduced myself as his neighbor and he told me that he had seen my car and that he looks at it everyday. ( a real beauty for 20 years old) He is like me, he wanted to get it fixed right away. Mike likes to work fast. My bill was for the part and about an hour later. $130 for a new ball joint plus labor is not bad. Overall I would recommend Thorne's Corner to anyone who needs work done in the Lewiston-Auburn area.
