About Sticker Station

The Sticker Station (Portland, Maine area) runs one busy man who goes the extra bit for nothing whenever he can - the sign-in sheet culture means your turn comes with a walk-out notification. Years of intermittent inspection customers find him cordial and reliable.

Bring paper documents: one digital registration confirmation was refused after an hour's wait, and list etiquette is strict (leave for a drink, lose your spot). Maine inspection stickers. Rated 3.8 across 182 reviews.

A one man show that takes his responsibility seriously. Even a brand new car with barely 100 miles on it goes on the lift, tires kicked, every inch inspected. $13 inspection fee. He is retiring soon, leave a tip in appreciation for his years of serving our community.

He is ALWAYS busy for a reason! Very accommodating where he can. Ive brought multiple cars to him. He will go that extra bit for nothing where he can. He even showed me what some other mechs do to make that extra off nothing. (Including the previous mech that shoved my license plate light up into my bumper and then failed me) get there early and don't leave your spot in line! I just got my new car inspected and the hour and 20ish wait in my car at 3pm was worth it. He is VERY quick just very busy and books up quickly too! I will ALWAYS reccomend!

Another good experience for my inspection today. I've been utilizing this business intermittently for years. The gentleman there has always been very cordial - chatty, no- rude , no. He's a one man show trying to move everyone through as quickly as possible while adhering to the state laws/expectations. It's a very busy place. Never have I been encouraged to change windshield wipers or have my headlights treated, wasn't needed. The little display of one cloudy headlight & the example after treated is in the far corner if needed - been there for years as an FYI service. Appreciate your service

You walk in and sign in, on the sheet. When it's your turn they come out to your car and let you know. If everything is legal and in order you are all set. Very professional and was on my way in no time at all.

First time there . I knew it a busy business and you can get lucky to go first or not get service at all . So be patient and understand is not the mechanic or clients fault. Despite the busy day , The mechanic in Sanford was super nice and honest . Told me that I needed to get done to pass inspection and mention to do extra as my car didn’t need it. Their system is pretty straight forward. You just write your name and wait until The mecánich comes get you. Great prices and service .

The place to go for your inspection sticker. Worth the wait.

Waited over a hour to get my vehicle inspected then was turned away because they would not accept the digital confirmation of registration renewal even though per state guidelines a digital copy of proof of renewel is a acceptable means for providing proof of valid current registration.

Waited for 2.5 hours with my name on a list. Was pushed to the back of the list because I needed a drink and my vehicle left the parking lot I am a disabled veteran who is missing a leg and I was told that if I left the parking lot again I would be punished similarly. Do you have a parking lot watching business? I can sign up at Supercuts and shop the adjoining stores as long as I am present when my name is called. BTW I was next on the list and bumped down 4 spots. I will never step foot in that ignorant man's business again!

Sanford sticker station sucks. Rushed to get there after work. Says they take the last inspection at 4:30 because they close at 5pm. Pulled in at 4:11pm and was told I was too late. Man was extremely rude asked if they would be open tomorrow (first Saturday) said “I don’t know looks like snow”. Must be nice to close 45 mins early and not be open on one of the two Saturdays a month the website says it will. Reply to owner: will not reconsider my review. At 4:11pm yesterday there was only one car in front of us. And it was being brought into the garage. Easily could have done another inspection within business hours and guidelines based on your website but clearly was more interested in closing early. Instead had to go out in the snow today.
