I called on a Monday morning, after having to have my 2017 Jeep Wrangler towed home the night…read morebefore, to ask if someone could look at it. They said sure, bring it in. He said they would run a diagnostic test, told me the cost and said he would call before proceeding with any repairs. By early afternoon they called me back to let me know exactly what the issue was (fuel injector), how much the cost would be to replace it, and that they had the part and could fix it by that afternoon. A couple of hours later I was picking up my Jeep! I paid less than what I was quoted because they didn't use all the parts they thought they would need to use. My Jeep runs beautifully! I'm very impressed with the friendly, professional and expedient service I received and will use Melvin's for my Jeep's future servicing and maintenance. I highly recommend them !

I was referred to Melvin's Garage by a friend. I used to use Patriot Auto and when they closed…read morethe Dover Shop I have had a terrible time finding a trustworthy shop. From the minute I walked in, I could see this was a serious shop! They put all my info in their system and the computer will automatically send me a text when it's time for service and it calbrates it's notifications when it understands it's waiting too long or not long enough It learns to adjust. Work I needed was carefully explained especially when there is a cheaper route that they didn't recommend, and I was explained why the more expensive route was best and offered ways to complete the work over time, at my own pace if I didn't want to spend that much at once. I don't know much about rotors and even after just 1 visit, I had no doubt that what he was recommending was for value over cost and without hesitation, I went with their recommendations. That is what Ilike best! service is fast, and they are all super friendly and courteous and the prices are correct.

This five star review is based on all of the work Chris has not done on my cars. The work he has…read moredone is worth an extra ten stars, but let's stick to the first five for now. We own a few cars, ranging from boring family sedan to a goofy Smartcar. I brought my smartcar to Chris for what I hoped was a simple repair, and with great apologies he handed back my keys and did not charge me even though he was able to diagnose the issue. He knew he wouldn't be able to get the part that was needed, and therefore asked me to return with other issues. He couldn't fix it that time, but you'd better believe I brought it back the next time! He's now worked on all of my cars and a few for people I've told about his amazing work ethic. I'm so happy that Yelp brought me here. An honest, affordable shop owner with a top notch reputation built on a career as an Air Force aviation mechanic. I simply can't recommend him highly enough.

Furrs Tire Dover, Delaware Review…read more Quoted over 4k in repairs for the Jeep we just bought. I inspected it myself and took it to another shop for an independent inspection. I have been working on my own vehicles for 20 years, I went to school after getting out of the military for Automotive Science and Mechanical Engineering; I worked as a mechanic, professionally for years, and I trained as a Maryland State Inspector. And please do respond saying I did the inspection wrong. I have the book right in front of me stating how to do it properly, alongside years of experience. To say what you all quoted was dishonest would be an understatement. All parts you quoted were 4x their actual price, before your discount is applied. The Golden Rule of business is to double the price. Furthermore, you quoted a ball joint job for all 4 ball joints at 4 hours. You then went on to quote an additional 3.5 hours for the tie rod, tie rod ends, drag link, drag link ends and adjuster, and the steering damper; ALL OF WHICH MUST BE REMOVED IN THE BALL JOINT JOB. So, you not only want to replace parts that do not require replacement; of which you stated verbally to my face; "that they are bad." You then go on the double charge (nearly) the hours, for a job that would be done while another job being is done... Tell me you are dishonest why don't ya boys. You quoted a track bar replacement, which it does not need. You quoted all 4 shocks; the vehicle passes the bounce test, rides fine, corners well, and has no sign of worn-out shocks. You quoted balancing the tires, which was just done at the time of purchase. This is not something you could have known and is normal practice when suggested alongside needed front end work... or... the actual cause of a vibration at 60mph could easily be... an imbalanced tire. You went on to suggest that it needs rear axle seals; you told me to my face that they are leaking, which they are not. The multifunction switch, which I already diagnosed as needing to be replaced, and told you about (which you would not have even caught in your "inspection" had I not done so). You want $168 for a $30 part. You also quoted 1 hour labor for a .3-hour labor job. Is this your regular practice gentlemen? Charge 4x for the part and double to triple charge for labor hours? I had my wife do this job, so she learned how. A woman who knows nothing about cars or tools did this job in 10 minutes; with a part that cost $30. Thats a nice savings of $243 for us that you all were going to pocket. Yall do realize this is illegal under State Law, right? 6 DE Code § 4903A Are you all sure this is the road you want to walk down? How many people have you ripped off so far? Likely hundreds, likely amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. You boys thought you were just dealing with my wife and tried to rip her off. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Should I treat your wife, or daughter, how you just treated mine? You are so driven by greed that you mistreat your fellow man. You all give decent, honest mechanics, a bad name. You are what is wrong with the repair industry. You should be fined severely by the State for this. The only thing the vehicle actually needs is a left tie rod end; which isn't even worn out, the boot is about to split is the only reason... left meaning (drivers side now boys, in case you forgot what the school taught you; since apparently you don't know anything about vehicles, or maybe you do and you just go around intentionally mistreating your fellow man). Likely, the latter. You are not gentlemen at all, you are not men; you are liars and thieves, abusing good people that know nothing about vehicles. You are unethical. You are immoral. And you are doing something illegal. You know it is wrong, yet you continue to do so anyway. Why is that? Why do you harm your fellow man for the purpose of making money? Are you going to close up shop soon? Are you going to sell out soon? Or are you just dishonest; and harm your fellow man, driven by greed? Shame on you men for this dishonest practice. You rip off unsuspecting people. You overcharge for parts. You overcharge for labor hours. The vast majority of the Google Reviews are created by the business owner to offset the actual reviews with truthful statements in them. I bet you go to church on Sunday too.

And to add insult to injury doing so about 10 minutes after most shops closed up for the day. **ENTER INTO THE PICTURE: John and Master Automotive Diagnostics** After giving John a run down of my problem over the phone, he was able to quickly troubleshoot the problem to include identify the root cause (a bad tensioner), call several stores to confirm availability of parts and provided SUPERIOR & QUALITY service. Not only was the service quick (considering working away from the comforts of a garage) but it was thorough, cost efficient, affordable and above all else, his customer service and communication skills were unparalleled. He was able to ease ALL worries, fears, and concerns within 10 mins of talking with him. He reassured me that I'd be home with my family within no time and that was warmly felt and received. I hope to never break down on the road again but he is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and the FIRST call to make for anyone needing car repairs or is stranded on the road.
