I received a recommendation on my 4 tires needing to be changed; tread was worn, advised it could be dangerous when the roads are wet. First quote was about $1100, I declined because I wasn't expecting it. Shortly after the man that checked me in said he could add a discount if cost was an issue brought it down to $953 tax included. I did schedule that service out 2 weeks. Nonetheless insie was clean, spacious, there wasn't a list of "to do's" like the dealerships hound you for. It also didn't take super long like the dealership does even with an appointment. Kind, friendly service, no pressure buying.

I took my car to three separate car repair shops in the area for roaring sounds in the car. No one…read morewas able to pinpoint the issue. I replace the front wheel bearings on my car with the assurance the noise must be coming from there. Still, the noise continued. I took it to St Johns and they located the noise by lifting on the rack with wheels in motion. After they made the repairs, the noise was gone. I also mentioned that the suspension seemed to be warned. They checked that and found that the struts and stabilizers were all leaking. To further complicate the problem, the strut system was hydraulic and the cost to replace was quite expensive. Bill at St. Johns, spent several days finding an alternative conversion that was much less expensive. No other repair shop cared to take the time. I will ALWAYS take my car to ST. Johns for any extensive repairs. Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and fast.

They found a large bolt and determined the tire was not able to be used so they graciously put our spare on and checked its pressure. The pressure was low so air was added to get us going. All this was done with kindness and genuine concern. They would not accept payment for services. We left feeling we had found a place we could trust for future auto services and will definitely go back when necessary. They were very professional. We appreciate the help and kindness.

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!

I found out that I had a flat tire at 5am this morning. Had to bring family to Tampa and decided to…read morebe at Mavis at 7.30 am. They open up at 8. The "manager" was there and after explaining it was a bit of an emergency he said, my guys will be here at 8". No problem, I will wait. They took my car on the lift at 8.05 and started working on the flat tire. So I thought. At 8.45 I look in the workshop and the hood is open. A mechanic is checking the front brakes etc etc. I ask why the hood is open for a flat tire? "We always do a multi point inspection sir!" So I asked if I gave them permission to do this as my car just had a full service of 800$ at my dealer one week ago. The front desk told me that this is State regulation. What???????? There is only one person that gives you permission to open up the hood for an inspection and that's me! What a bullsh!t nonsense. When I said you only do this to upsell me things I don't need they became angry. Well so did I......... very angry. I told you I was in a hurry and you just wasted 45 minutes without telling me. Another customer came in and he was told they would do the inspection. The guy laughed and said, no way (as well) When I (once again) spoke to the front desk guy and told him I was not pleased he pissed the payslip under my nose and did not want to talk to me anymore. That made me even more angrier so the manager threw me out! I went to Mavis with 3 of my cars since they opened up in St Augustine. They never did this in the beginning. They lost a good customer for ever!!!!!!!!! By the way their hourly rate for a mechanic is 158$ per hour. You better realize this! This is close to what a consultant charges per hour! I HAVE to give one star, but none would the best here. UPDATE: I FOUND OUT 3 HOURS LATER THAT THE TIRE IS STILL LEAKING. My advice, avoid the place at any time! LAST UPDATE (I promise) I called Discount Tire on the 16 in St Augustine. I could come bevrucht away. Arrived and was shocked. Min 50 customers, full workshop. Iff course...... they are next to the I95 on the Saturday after Christmas! I thought, this will cost me the rest of the day. Very, very friendly staff. And honest. Within 20 min the technician called my name. He's ready. Huh? Yep, there was a hole in the center of the tire. Easy repair. So Mavis screwed this one up completely! I got ready to pay and thanked him for the quick service. No need.... It's free. Excuse me? No not charge for this. Unbelievable. So I tipped the guy 20$ and left as a happy bloke. Guess who will do my tire stuff from now and won't? Exactly!

I missed the call so I returned to them thinking they were calling to tell me my car was ready. Wow was I wrong!! I returned to find my car on the lift w/all 4 tires off!! They told me they did an inspection (which I never asked for) and said, based on the manufacturer's recommendations, suggested I do a whole host of things from struts, shocks, to radiator flush's and much more, totaling $2300!! At this point the oil change still wasn't done! Fortunately I know something about cars. This is how you take advantage of seniors and those who are not knowledgeable with cars. Be careful when going there, you might get more recommendations$$ than you want. Never again will I come here!
