If
your vehicle’s check engine light glows on your dashboard, more often than not
it is trying to alert you of something gone wrong. Mark Daniels, the owner of
Automotive Everything can find out what the problem is, sending you and your
newly repaired vehicle on its way home safely.
Located
at 1255 Roosevelt Trail, Daniels provides the latest in
diagnostic equipment. Automotive
Everything is one of the very few automotive
repair centers in the Windham and Raymond areas that offers module, can-bus
communication and electrical interference diagnosis.
“Vehicles
are run by hundreds of sensors and computers and they control almost everything,”
explained Daniels. “If one thing goes wrong, it can affect another part of your
car’s electrical system and finding the problem is almost impossible. It takes high-quality
diagnostic equipment to analyze and find where the original problem is and here
at Automotive Everything, I have the equipment that can detect it.”
Automotive
Everything officially opened its doors in July of 2019, providing all vehicle service
needs including inspections, alignments, oil changes and more on both domestic
and foreign vehicles to include Audi, Mercedes Benz and BMW.
Formerly
known as Auto Werke, this turn-key automotive repair business had an intentional
transition plan with only one thing in mind – making sure customers remain
happy and providing the same great, superior service.
“I
had been wanting to retire for a while but did not want to quickly sell my
business to just anyone,” stated Tom Blackburn, owner of the former Auto Werke
business. “I knew Mark because he worked for other auto service businesses in
the Lakes Region and knew from experience that he was the best mechanic in the
area. In fact, if there is something other mechanics can’t figure out, they
often reach out to Mark to help them. When I discovered he was in the process
of purchasing his own automotive business, I called him and offered him a deal
he couldn’t refuse. I knew that I could trust Mark to continue giving the
high-quality service I demanded of myself. Afterall, it is due to my customers
and their trust in me that gave me my successful business and thus the ability
to retire - I owed my customers a continuation of the same service they have
been receiving for over 20 years with me. I found that with Mark and I was able
to retire without concern.”
Daniels
has been working in the field of auto mechanics for approximately 15 years.
However, he admitted that his first love was construction and woodworking. While
in high school, Daniels worked with his father during school breaks and on
weekends. Once he graduated in 2005 from Bonny Eagle High School, he worked for
a few construction companies believing that he had found his niche in life. But
while working part-time at an auto-parts store and then at a transmission
repair shop, he discovered he enjoyed working on vehicles more.
“It
helped that one of the technicians took me under his wings, so to speak, and
taught me much of what I know today,” explained Daniels. “From there, I knew I
wanted to work with vehicles instead of homes.”

People
come from just about everywhere in the greater New England area as he continues
to build the trust that Blackburn began.
“I
still have customers who come from South Portland, Buxton and other Southern
Maine towns to get the cars serviced here. And during the summer, I also have
clients from as far as New York and New Jersey."
The
following statements are from a few satisfied customers:
“Mark and his team at Automotive Everything have
serviced three of our vehicles. The diagnosis, repairs and follow-up are
exactly what we are looking for in a service facility -- specifically,
communicating priority of repairs that are needed in order to keep our vehicles
safe and in good working order. We are very pleased that we can count on
Automotive Everything and highly recommend them to anyone that has a vehicle in
need of repairs and that wants those repairs done right.”
“Mark did great during a very
frustrating time. He had my transmission replaced much sooner than he had
originally told me, (Finished in less than a day and a half!) and his estimate
was spot on; no surprise costs after he started the work. Fair price, reliable
work, and just a good guy.”
As for Blackburn, he stated, “I’m
very happy with how Mark has continued on in this business – and I know for a
fact that my customers are happy, too!”
