I had an incredible experience with Melvin's. I was told By Advance Auto that my alternator was…read morebad on my 2013 Toyota Sienna. After calling around to a few places, I decided on Melvin's. First, they honored the lifetime warranty that Napa and other auto parts places gave the alternator. Secondly, they gave a year longer warranty on labor than the local Toyota dealerships. Lastly, they have the best price. Replacing the alternator is nearly an $800 job. Because of the high expense, Adam took it upon himself to test it before simply replacing it. It turns out, it wasn't bad after all. My van has a lot of specialized driving equipment that allows me to drive, even though I am a quadriplegic paralyzed from my chest down. When Adam and his team were unsure how to troubleshoot some of the specialized equipment, he did not hesitate to call the handicap equipment company that built my van. They took the time to properly diagnose the problem and even helped me contact a local company specializing in the equipment installed in my van. Furthermore, they did not charge me for all their help! So instead of costing nearly $800 to replace an alternator that was not bad, I was able to replace a $26 backup battery that tied into my Specialty Equipment. I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Melvin's! Adam and the others treated us with respect, honesty, and like family. I know who to call first with any auto issues that my family and I may have in the future! Thank you for all of your help!

So far, they have been fair with pricing and have done excellent work. It's hard to find a local small business that does car repairs, this is one of them.

Well, we stopped in here and the place treated us like we were a liability, we had to wait for the GM to walk us around. The GM came out introduced himself and we proceeded, clearly communicating that we were only window shopping. Well I guess the GM didn't hear us well enough as the high pressure sales tactics were in full force. After leaving, I felt like I needed to take a shower he was creeping so hard. Then my guy calls me every day still hitting the panic button on the pressure to make a sale. I finally had to tell him to remove me from his contact list and never call me again. We won't be back!

They called and told me that I needed a replacement evaporator coil and that was behind the dashboard and that would be $2000. I was hesitant and really needed help from family if I was going to pay that. We agreed to it, because, Florida gets hot. Believe me I get it, but I have to question going in there for the first time and this happens. I've been screwed over too many times with my cars to trust anyone. While I do appreciate that they were that thorough if that really needed to be done, and now I have a working AC. There's scratches on my stereo/GPS screen that I know were not there before I took it in. That could however be bad memory but I know I didn't do it.

I have done business with this company since it was a business,..back when they were located on Blanding closer to 103rd Street up by Paint Pros...if. not mistaken that was their shop location, however this goes back to 2013-2014... The Actual owner was doing the work then with helpers or other mechanics... I brought my car to them based on a referral from a friend...saying they were New and Honest and did Good Work at a Reasonable Price Point....THE HOLY GRAIL in DUVAL it seems...so I did...and they did..and I established rapport with the owner as I promised I would do my work solely with him if he met those expectations given from the referral....I ended up moving to the Southside and lost touch...when I looked for them again they were gone...they moved....Fast Forward maybe 10 years I still have the same Car and I was in need of some repair as I had not found another "HOLY GRAIL" type shop since...so I just thought...I KNOW I USED TO HAVE A GOOD A MECHANIC....I just couldn't remember the name...so I just began typing Auto repair and Automotive into my contacts to see what popped up...then the SCHUTTER name pops up...I am like Ohhh Ish!!! That's them!!! Thinking ahhh I am saved no more BS Mechanics saying they can do X Y Z work but in actuality are full of it...So when it starts there are a few repairs done with some exceeding $1000 in price...and a few of the prices I felt were kinda exorbitant...however not too outlandish and these WERE my "Guys" you know...I THOUGHT...hey even if they charge me a little more...I am going to get SUPER QUALITY...OEM Parts...Good Word for that Money........Uhhhhhh I DON'T THINK SO..... So there were a few things that I should have but never went to War about...my Wipers stopped working Totally...anybody that Lives here knows you can't have that...so I requested them to fix them...and over $400+ later I get my car...the wipers work .. however the intermittent setting is something out of a bad movie...they do what TF they want to do, however this Company sent my car out like that and charged me...I didn't say anything that time as my main concern of having wipers was addressed,..however I was not very impressed by the work...ok the next outing..my vehicle was towed to them by some guys I know that Own a Towing Company...can't remember the actual work done however it was definitely several hundred dollars...they call me and say hey car is ready...ok great...I get there and there is some weird A indention near the bottom of the door on the passenger side....and for the 1st time my car is staged to parked after repair outside right next to a FNG Dumpster...from what I guess that was to conceal the indentation...I asked and they immediately blamed it on the Tow Truck Drivers.. without hesitation... I let it go as the work was done the indentation is not big time visible and again been working with these guys for years...Ok final thing which brings me to the reason for this review....you can see pictures and video on Social Media...I have a very slow leak from my Transmission Oil Cooler Line...I now have a Neighborhood Mechanic who does smaller jobs for me....he and I looked at and located the leaking culprit a d it was the Lower Cooler Line....he was swamped at the time and needed to truly diagnose the issue before working on it, but was 1000% certain the leak was very slow and it originated from that Cooler Line. He couldn't do the work so I decided to take it to my "Big Dawg Mechanic" the ones I knew or THOUGHT I KNEW could do Big Work. I say and explained in VIVID DETAIL to the intake guy while outside Hood Up looking at the issue. Oh BTW on the way there my Power Window mysteriously went out...so let's kill 2 birds with one stone...I asked for that to be fixed as well and I have had this done at other places...but hey I am here let's fix it...ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS TIGHTEN THE COOLER LINE....THAT IS ALL...They fixed NOTHING actually loosened it more than when I brought it... ***************UPDATE********************** So after KYLE one of the owner's now or runs the books, stated to me "We'll give you the $140 back, just don't ever come back, what's the Card Number the charge was made on?" I waited 3-5 Business Days quietly no other talks except what I had posted initially, as I figured I was done with them and them with me.... but Oh No,.. as it would have it THEY WELCHED ON THEIR WORD............ Wooooooow unbelievable right??? SMH
