Mel's Garage

I had an exceptional experience at Mel’s Garage! Cory, the 3rd generation owner, is very knowledgeable, transparent, and professional. My car no longer shifted from 4th into 5th gear, and he was able to timely identify and repair the issue. I highly recommend him for transmission and general car service.

I have been taking my vehicles to Mel's for years, and have had a great experience every time. From replacing head gaskets, to changing transmissions, and even simple oil changes, I have never been let down by this shop.

The mechanics are very professional and their prices are unbeatable. I would recommend them anytime.

Needed advice on a car and he was very helpful despite no monetary gain. Would recommend

Had an engine replaced, they were able to diagnose and tell me the unfortunate news, they had the engine ordered as soon as possible and were able to get it in the car while taking all the time to make sure it was perfect. Wouldn't recommend another place. Great people to work with.

Mel's Garage was our best find when we moved to the area. They have fixed every problem that we have had with our H3. Never has the same problem been fixed twice. They always explain the issue prior to fixing and we are also told what was done to fix the problem. The quality of service you get is amazing for what the cost is! Fair pricing as well. I highly recommend Mel's Garage!!!

The Best Around! These guys do great work, very friendly and honest. That, I cannot stress enough, is a huge deal when it comes to mechanics. I have worked with my fair share of “shady” mechanics and have always come out more worse for ware. These guys have always told me what was wrong, what needed to be fixed, what could wait, and what it would cost. Not to mention they stand by their work. If I can’t do the work myself these are the only guys I trust with my vehicles. Thank you guys so much!

Update- Just wanted to give another shout out. Took my car in, they fixed it and saved me a ton vs taking it to the dealer or another shop. As always, great service and knowledgeable mechanics. You guys are the best!

If you are looking for a good, honest, trustworthy auto repair shop, look no further! The water pump on my son's truck went out on him and they were able to get it back up and running in no time! I had a hard time believing the low price they charged for the repair! We were expecting to pay a lot more! Thank you Mel's Garage! You far exceeded our expectations!

We have used Mel’s since we moved to Watertown 10 years ago. Always fair, honest, and reliable. Other garages charge far more for the same services. We’ve always been happy with their work, and the guys are always friendly and helpful. We cannot recommend this garage enough!

Got my trans cooler lines replaced. Fast friendly service.

Sometimes it can be hard to find trustworthy people to repair your vehicles. With Mel’s, you never have to worry about that! They will always tell you the truth and help weigh your options of repair. I would recommend them to all.

Cory and Tim are great! They explain the issues more clearly than anyone else I have ever worked with and present options on how to address issues. Great to find a mechanic that can make things understandable. I drive 30 miles passing dozens of mechanics just to use Mel's Garage.

Best auto mechanics around. They are honest, and always do their best to make sure any repairs are done with the best interest of the customer in mind. Old school values that are hard to find these days.

I took my car to Mel's in October 2019 for steering issues, and they replaced my power-steering pump. Fast-forward to now (December 2020), and the pump that was just over a year old went bad. Since I am not in the Watertown area any longer, I called Mel's to see what could be done about a warranty (at the suggestion of my current repair shop). Cory was amazing about promptly calling the parts supplier and arranging for a new pump to be delivered to my current shop to be installed. I was expecting a lot more hassle, but Cory took care of all my worries immediately. Thank you!

I had brake line issues and was not able to drive my vehicle so needed to get it serviced quickly. Not only did I get scheduled promptly, but they were able to fix the issue quickly and charged a fair price. Definitely recommend!

I highly recommend Mels Garage. They are very reasonable about prices, good at communicating, trustworthy and overall do a great job. I’ve been going here since I got my first car and my mom has been going here since she got her first car as well.

Very honest and trustworthy. Dealer said I needed new transmission, this was not the case at all very small charge to diagnose and nothing was wrong. Will be taking all my repairs here from now on.

Took my car in for transmission problems. They were very transparent and honest through the process and fixed my car without the shady upselling you get with many other auto repair shops. Highly recommend.

Cory did a great job on our timing chain/water pump chain on our sons G6. Great service with great prices and use only quality parts. Very satisfied!

Tim and the guys at Mel"s Garage are true mechanics. If your looking for a shop to repair your vehicles you won"t be disappointed with Mel"s. I have been going to them for over 15 years and never had a bad experience. Richard P.
