I moved a way for a short time and was forced to deal with new mechanics on my classic rigs. "Snobs…read moreand ignoramists" was all I could find. "If it's over 20 years old, our computer can't tell us what the problem is". Are you kidding me?!!!!!! I'm so glad to be back and see Mel's Auto Repair is still here! I won't go to any other mechanic again. He fixed my truck and my Van and my Motorcycle and my car and everything I've ever taken to him. I won't ever go anywhere else again! It's good to be back home! CF

When the shop was owned by Mel, I could rely on the diagnostics and work. In November, Had an O2…read moresensor that needed to be replaced (to get tags renewed) and caused my check engine light to stay on. Replace the O2 sensor, light stayed on, diagnosed the intake manifold (much more $$), no change to engine light. Replaced another sensor and everything they could think of, $2000 later on my used car. Engine light stayed on. Decided to run it to DEQ FOR ME (and charged me for the time) so ensure I could get new tags, engine light is still on. In March, car was overheating and leaking coolant, and remnants of a broken zip tie was found in the engine. Took it back in, they assured me that it was the thermostat housing and not having to do with previous work, replaced the Thermostat housing (including the thermostat, all in one), car continued to overheat. Brought it back 3 separate times, for a couple days each time. Discharged stating it was fixed for sure (with paperwork stating same) charged $800. Drove for 5mins, car was overheating again. Mgr said that it's OK for temp to fluctuate as long as no RED. Also to continue to drive it, and send them videos of what is happening because they could not replicate. I know from having the car almost overheat before, that ALMOST overheating and OVERHEATING happens very quickly.continue to drive the car, sent several videos of the car getting 75% of the way up on the gauge, several times. Sent messages. Left voicemails. No resolution. Car has never been the same. Engine light still on. $2800 down on the car without any issues actually fixed. One thing to note: diagnostic fee is NOT worked into the labor and is $200 each time you take it in. Non negotiable.

Apologize for taking so long for this review but this bad service occurred in October 30, 2023. I…read morejust replaced my clutch with the Midas shop right next-door a few days before but changing gears continued to be a problem for my 1997 Mustang. I was told by the owner of this shop I needed a new transmission. I was not in a good mood because I just put down my dog the previous Saturday due to cancer. I was there bright and early an hour before they open on Monday morning and I left my car there. I walked over, which was a mile from my house to see if they started working on it each afternoon Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I called every afternoon to find out what the status was and I had to listen to excuses from we lost a worker; we can't find the parts; the parts are taking too long to get here. I was obviously angry and went there Friday morning and they started working on it. The owner took two hours to replace the transmission. Seems to me they purposely made me wait a whole week for nothing.

One of the other reviews said he charged somebody $200 to evaluate their car, thanks for sticking it to me, Joe! He sent me a text message outlining the issues and then called me back and we had a discussion. I asked for an invoice which you would expect from any legitimate professional business.. He said "sorry this text message is what all I send my customers"; that kind of response tells me you're rolling the dice with Joe, not having an invoicing system? Really? In this day and age of mobile apps? Some of the things that he said were wrong with the car ended up being different than what he reported. I cannot recommend Joe unless you're in a tough situation, but make sure you grind him on the price,,, I'm sure his work is fine, because of his years of experience.

Have more than one conversation with him and count the times he back tracks and contradicts himself. Do yourself a favor and go to a real shop that stands behind the work they do with integrity.

Extremely dishonest people. My son's friend went in to have her front tires replaced and they told…read moreher that the control arms were bad, the rear tires needed to be replaced, and the rear brakes were down to 1mm. As someone that services cars I took a look to verify and none of it was true. They said the control arms had cracks in the seals, but they were perfectly fine. I checked the rear brakes and they were fine. They were trying to scam $1700 out of a young girl that did not know any better. The estimate was written on a notepad from another company. BE VERY CAREFUL with this company, get a second opinion! I am filing this with the BBB.

Every time I'm in there they are practically rebuilding lots of classic cars and trucks, but they also know their way around a 7-series BMW, or a high-end Lexus or Mercedes Benz. Terry and Jaime are very trustworthy and won't try to sell you something you don't need. All my coworkers take their personal vehicles here as well, and we take our company vehicles here too. When a software glitch overpriced the parts, Jaime was quick to notice it, even though he wasn't the one who worked on the vehicle. Thanks Jaime for saving me over $130 on parts on my Honda Crosstour!
