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.
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.
If you are looking for a good, honest, trustworthy auto repair shop, look no further! The water pump on my sons 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 Mels Garage! You far exceeded our expectations!
I took my car to Mels 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 Mels 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!
Mels Garage got me in quickly to take care of some regular maintenance on my SUV. Mels Garage has always been honest with me about needed repairs. I trust them to do what they say they are going to do. Great service!
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!
Mels 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 Mels 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!
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!
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!
We were left with an awful clunk after Russ Darrow Kia in Madison replaced our transmission. While after a review about it prompted higher ups to contact me regarding fixing it, zero faith recalled the flashlight also left in the engine from their mechanics.We took it to Mels with a realistic mention that it could be a coincidence.Here the sway bar wasnt tightened down when the transmission was replaced.So 6 hours and 60 bucks later, it was tightened.My review is pretty much a it is what it is cost wise notation but were thankful of course, its fixed.My husband was impressed with the staff, noting probable experience and friendly service.We will return if/ when needed and thats the take away from this review.
Tim and Kory are great to work with. Highly knowledgeable and very skilled. Excellent communication and fair prices!
Was able to get my wheel bearings fixed in ample time. Cory helped us out greatly! Highly recommend coming here to get your car fixed!
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 Mels Garage.
One of the good guys you can always trust to be fair and honest.
They were fast and so friendly. They ended up having exactly what I needed when I went in for a quote. They had me fixed up in about an hour. They guys were so friendly and courteous. Will definitely go back!
Mels Garage was great to work with throughout a complicated mechanical problem on my car. Cory and his dad kept me advised of the status of the repair. Professionalism is exhibited during the entire auto repair process. Thank you and the entire team for superb service.David Jurczyk
Tim and the guys at Mels Garage are true mechanics. If your looking for a shop to repair your vehicles you wont be disappointed with Mels. I have been going to them for over 15 years and never had a bad experience. Richard P.
Ive been very happy with the fast and efficient service. Definitely recommended.
Wish I could do 5 stars because the mechanics are awesome. They dont upsell and they are honest about parts that need replacement and parts that can keep going for several months. They explain things after they fix them and charge a fair price. The only downside is the space. Because of their reputation, they are always full, but they dont have any parking space. So you need to park on the street, and that can be several blocks away when its crowded. Dont let that stop you though, support this garage!
A little garage hidden away on a side street. But, tremendous customer service. We have used them for years, and they are very honest guys, with integrity. Very knowledgeable and fair.
Had my car there for a rework repair through insurance. Did fast, amazing work. They definitely have my business in the future.
Reasonable pricing, friendly service and thorough work done in a timely manner is what keeps me coming back.
Great job on my camry. Found my mechanic. They did top job service and only fixed what needed to be fixed. Where other garages nickle and dime you for things that can wait. Thanks to the guys at Mels!!!!
Amazing team.... very prompt and willing to answer any questions.
Best import shop in town. Theyll do you good.
Thanks for my car to be repaired fast
You cant beat Mels for the best in service.
Super professional and quick. Saved me a ton of money.
Best transmission service in the area.
I was riding my bike thanks to Mels Garage Im driving again.
Knowledgeable and informative mechanics!
