Great service and great deals. I've bought 2 trucks in last few months from them. They also service 3 of my Ram trucks.
I love this dealership. I take my Tacoma to the Toyota side for service and now I’ll be bringing my Ram 3500 to the Dodge/Ram side. I’m so happy to be back into a Dodge family vehicle so I can once again get my service through Shepard’s. Excellent service. Great staff and ownership group. No one does it better! Thank You Shepard’s. AAAAAAA++++++
David Young was fantastic from start to finish very friendly I would definitely recommend him to anyone he stands behind his word and gets the job done
Great atmosphere and super great sales and service department. Thanks Shepard!
Great service and great prices!
Worked with Zak and Gaige awesome experience!!!
Shepards is a great place to go ! Zak was very friendly and on top of everything! Such a great experience!
Very very helpful, and even the jokes were good 😉
From someone who has not bought a car in 10 years I have had the best experience with Zac Kimball at Shepard Auto Group he was very accommodating with my special requests in finding the right vehicle for me. He made me feel like my voice mattered and that is a very rare find these days in customer service .Kudos to Shepherds for employing Zac..Highly recommend!!!!
I had the absolute best experience ever! Nate, Brad and Jeremy made this experience smooth and easy. The interest exceeded my expectations and the payment fit my budget. We love out new SUV and are excited to be a part of the rubber duck family. I am now a lifetime customer. Thank you Shepard Dodge, Chevy & Jeep! You rock!!!
Thank you, Zach Kimble at Shepard’s Auto Group in Thomaston, Maine. You made buying my new car a great experience. If you are looking for a responsive, practical and helpful sales person, go see Zach.
Great car buying experience! No bull, just great service. I appreciate him giving me his time and advice. Thanks Zak!
We had a quick and smooth process of both trading in and purchasing a new vehicle. Zach was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and made it seamless. Would recommend for sure!
Zach was helpful and efficient, answered all our questions, and was able to connect us with a car that is a good solution.
Let me tell you a story about a stressful month. Picture it, May 2026 and my dog suffers a neurological event while hiking in Rangeley that left us all stressed out and scared - and if you're a dog lover, you get it. Emergency vet visits in Southern Maine, specialty neurology consults, MRIs...and so on and so on. And then somehow the universe heard me say, "What next!?" and took it as a challenge - and my car died.
...and so I found myself car-less and faced with the daunting task of car shopping. Somehow I had ... Read More Full review text opened.Google - Jun 9, 2026
Let me tell you a story about a stressful month. Picture it, May 2026 and my dog suffers a neurological event while hiking in Rangeley that left us all stressed out and scared - and if you're a dog lover, you get it. Emergency vet visits in Southern Maine, specialty neurology consults, MRIs...and so on and so on. And then somehow the universe heard me say, "What next!?" and took it as a challenge - and my car died.
...and so I found myself car-less and faced with the daunting task of car shopping. Somehow I had to figure out how to take time off from work and leave my neurologically injured dog to go look at cars and deal with salesmen who direct questions to my husband instead of me. (IYKYK...right ladies?)
So, I started to browse the local to us dealers, figuring I could minimize my time away from home and keep my dollars local. What started as innocent browsing online, turned into a full blown car buying experience like no other. (I also got incredibly lucky that Shepard had 2 of the exact vehicle models I wanted to test drive -- I didn't buy one, but the Chevy Trailblazer is an amazing little ride and super cute to boot!)
First of all, let's start with Zak.
Zak was knowledgeable, helpful, and had a great sense of humor throughout the entire process. Car shopping - and especially the buying part - is not my favorite activity, but Zak worked closely with my husband, Rick, to make everything as streamlined and painless as possible.
One thing I especially appreciated was how Zak treated ME (not my husband...this is MY car, not his) as the customer throughout the process. Even though my husband was helping coordinate much of the shopping, Zak never talked around me or directed conversations solely to him. He made a point to keep me informed, reached out directly with updates, and made sure I felt involved and comfortable every step of the way.
The team at Shepard went above and beyond, accommodating my work schedule by allowing Rick to bring vehicles to me for test drives during the day. They also handled nearly all of the paperwork over the phone, which made the process incredibly convenient. When it came time to pick up my new-to-me Mazda CX-50, I was in and out of the showroom in less than 10 minutes.
Zak also went out of his way to make the experience fun and exciting. From sending updates along the way to hyping me up on pickup day, he made me feel genuinely excited about my purchase instead of stressed by the process.
Second and to top it all off, the finance team secured a great interest rate and kept me right within my target monthly payment. I can't thank Zak and the entire Shepard team enough for making what is usually a stressful experience so easy, efficient, and enjoyable.
If you're in the market for a new or new-to-you vehicle, do yourself a favor and go see Zak at Shepard - you'll be glad you did!
This was a great experience!! Zak was soo helpful and did everything to make this purchase enjoyable!
I bought a new Ram 2500 from Shepard auto group. Ask for the salesman Gorden Simmons, he was really great to deal with. He’s a straight shooter and doesn’t play the typical games you get when purchasing a vehicle. He will work hard to get you in the vehicle you are looking for at the lowest price possible. He gave me an unbelievably great trade in price for my truck I traded in. 20% more than every other dealership I visited. Even after the sale he was still very helpful with any questions I had about features in the new ... Read More Full review text opened.Google - Apr 23, 2026

Even after the sale he was still very helpful with any questions I had about features in the new truck. I’ve bought many vehicles over the years and usually once you sign the paperwork the salesman wants no more to do with you because he’s already made his sale but definitely not the case with him/Shepard auto group. I’ll be buying every vehicle in the future from them. 5 well earned stars.
Jose and Trevon where the best sales people I have ever dealt with. They were very help full and very honest with me. Trevon gave me very useful information on how to do my payments and save me money. I could not be more pleased that I ended up with these two great men as my sales people.
Good experience, thorough, kind, and attentive.
"I cannot thank Nate and Mike enough for the incredible experience they provided my cousin when buying their car. Car shopping can be incredibly stressful, but Nate and Mike turned it into a positive, seamless, and—dare I say—fun experience. They were patient, genuinely listened to what my cousin needed, and never once made them feel pressured into a decision. Their product knowledge is top-notch, and they took the time to explain all the features, making sure my cousin felt confident driving off the lot.

Mike and Igor were awesome, we got my daughter her first car at a great interest rate and it was perfect for all weather. Loved how quick the process was and their sincerity. It was a great deal with genuine service.
Mike and Nate were so hard at managing to sell the 2024 Toyota Rav4 to me (Golda) and my cousin Barbara that we're so proud of them that all the help to make this happen that there's no words that we can express enough.
Mike and Nate work so hard on getting our car and they were the best people going and we got a RAV4 we never thought we'd get it but we got one and so I take them very much and that they are good people to help people out
I love how it rides and drives Haley was very friendly and we appreciate how she helped us
Had a great time at Shepard's in Thomaston Maine with Nate, Brent and a little bit of Jose. They were awesome to work with and we had many laughs and I walked away with a 2019 Jeep Compass
Nate, Brent and Jose were amazing very helpful and funny. Left with a 2025 jeep
Had an awesome experience with our salesman Nick! We got a great deal, with an easy process.
Grateful that I walked in, met Ossie and walked out with a new car!! He was amazing! Thanks Ossie!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ossie who helped me with getting a car. He was great to work with. Thank you !!!
Wiley is one of the best sales men I’ve encountered! Thank you for your service!
Mike was amazing and gave me an amazing deal on a new car!
Came in for sales event that we got a flyer in the mail for. Ended up getting into a newer vehicle with a lower payment than we had. Everyone was extremely helpful and informative. Would recommend anyone to go here if they are looking for a new vehicle.
Will be coming back to buy from Bryan Rogers again. Thanks for being patient with me and catering to my needs. Been trying to trade my vehicle but struggled to find a good sales person. He is the one!!
Had a very nice experience with Bryan Rogers
By far the best for service & sales! Josh & Scott are exceptional in service & Austin is your go to for sales. Super friendly & very reasonable!
Amazing experience with the sales team. Wiley the salesman was absolutely amazing went above & beyond and helped me get the vehicle I wanted along with Austin in finance! I strongly suggest getting your next car from Shepard Chrysler!!!
Just purchased a 2022 Subaru Forester. Wiley, Austin and Gaige were awesome to work with. Things went quickly, and pressure free. We've purchased there many times and plan on doing so in the future. Shepard's is a local company with a customer first approach to doing business. Give them a chance when you're ready to buy a vehicle. Steven and Linda Powell
We told our sales person more than once we needed AWD, fast talked us into a 2023 leftover, got 1/2 way from Rockland to Newcastle, realized it was FWD, calls and was told nothing they could do. After that was ghosted!! Wanted to trade it for something else, no reply, called to cancel service contract was told 39-60 days for refund, still haven’t gotten it. Now we have traded it in and are owed a GAP refund, will see if they get that one. Called about refund and no one returned call. Poor customer service
Cannot thank Devin and Austin enough for getting me out of a terrible situation and into this Jeep. It was a very crappy process with a car that broke down and they were both super helpful, patient and explained everything during the process. Would highly recommend both of them! Thanks again guys!
My wife and I purchased yesterday a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee at Shepherds in Rockland and Devin was our sales associate who assisted us. He was friendly, knowledgeable and guidedus through the sales process. We enjoyed working with him very much!
I just got a 2023 Grand Cherokee L Limited and I Love it! After not getting much help at tuckers, Devin at Shepards assisted me and got me into exactly what I Needed, it was great service, no pressure into buying anything and met everything I wanted for a vehicle, it was so easy! If you guys are looking for a new vehicle I highly recommend asking for Devin at Shepards! He will work some magic to get you exactly what you need, 5 stars from me!
Trevon helped me with the experience. Made the process easy for me and I won a 75 in TV. Excellent sales team to work with!
Very friendly, and went above when asked to help during a tough situation.
Trevon was amazing while my daughter and I were getting a newer vehicle today! Super appreciated the help and patience!!
Sent in a message to purchase the Black Widow Ram they have on the lot. Received messages back from Shea Murray but the dealer is obviously uninterested in selling that vehicle because they never bothered to even message me further.
FOUND JEEP I WANTED, STEPHEN WAS GREAT, GOT $40 JEEP HOME, LESS THAN 5 MILES AWAY, IT LOST ITS OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY, CANCELED CONTRACT, WILL SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT.
Call three days ago to do a custom jeep wrangler order. Sales guy told me he was going to put it in the hands of the guy that does the building. I have not heard back from them since . Not even a courtesy call. Charlie’s up in Augusta took three hours and got it ordered. Would rather do business locally. But unfortunately I will take my business elsewhere
Extremely unprofessional "sales rep" (Ahmet Meyveagaci). Take your business elsewhere! Talking down to customers, "I think you should look for something CHEAP that YOU can AFFORD". Stay away!
The salesperson was very unknowledgeable. It was annoying.
I just bought a used Toyota Tacoma at this dealership. The salesperson was helpful, respectful and courteous. He was easy to work with and was positive when asked more than once for the best deal available on the used vehicle. He was assisted by others in completing the sale. It is a young, able and friendly team and an experience that was lacking in stress. We were able to come to a very fair price.
Very high pressure sales. Not a fan.
Very dissatisfied with service and technical ability of the employees who work on the cars and manage the service bays. This company had steered me wrong three times so I have found alternative options for my car repairs.
Very tricky when they tell a young lady that she is approved for the loan and go wash thw car and bring it out and say it is ready then you hand them the thousands in cash that they require as a down payment they take your money and then say oh well the loan isn't approved after all you have to have someone co-sign for you. Pretty upsetting to a young lady who was just promised a brand new car. Seems like they were trying to pull her in and then hoped that she would keep on sticking ...

I thought I had a wonderful sales experience with Chris and was purchasing a lovely, "accident-free" 2011 Cadillac in 2015. My husband lodged a complaint with Neil Shepard, in person shortly thereafter. Neil told him that he would follow up with him and never did. The complaint being that a mechanic friend of ours noticed the salvage yard stock number painted on the inside of the rear passenger door not long after purchase. This door now has a dollar-sized rust patch on the lower edge of it which we will have to pay to have it repaired. His suggestion was ... Read More Full review text opened.Google - Apr 19, 2018

The complaint being that a mechanic friend of ours noticed the salvage yard stock number painted on the inside of the rear passenger door not long after purchase. This door now has a dollar-sized rust patch on the lower edge of it which we will have to pay to have it repaired. His suggestion was that it had been replaced with an older door of the same model and color. There is no rust anywhere else on this car. The car fax that was attached to the car said that it was was accident-free. I paid full asking price having expected the representation to be accurate. Will never do business there again.
Michael Maroules and the team at Shepards were very pleasant and one of the best places Ive ever walked into when it comes to be being courteous and taking time to listening to me and what I needed. They helped me get my low mileage Chevrolet Pickup truck, and they couldn't have made it easier!!! I will always recommend Shepards and Michael to anyone who asks me about my new truck! Thank you for the experience and all the coffee!!! -Rusty
We are here at Shepard CDJ he had worked worked with us to get a like new Nissan! He worked the numbers and worked with us. He is the best salesman because we are walking out with a new vehicle now! I recommend this place and in closing Michael Maroules is the man!!
We had a great experience and Mike listened to every question or concern we had. He worked hard to make sure we got what WE needed!
Had the best experience I could of had. I was nervous since I have never been to a dealership like this before. Michael Maroules made the experience absolutely great!!! I couldn't of asked for anyone better to deal with. He was honest and straight forward with me. He made the experience enjoyable and worth going in. I will be back again for sure and recommend others to go in and see him for their next car.
Michael Maroules was excellent to work with. He was able to close the deal when others couldn't. Pleasure to do business with. I will definitely come back when it's time trade.
