According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect. Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

Today's cars, light trucks, and sport-utility vehicles are high-tech marvels with digital dashboards, oxygen sensors, electronic computers, unibody construction, and more. They run better, longer, and more efficiently than models of years past. Resist the temptation to suggest a specific course of repair.
Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car. They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like antilock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don't have a good grip on the pavement. As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

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!

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

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!

Mel's garage has been my mechanic shop for 11 years since I was 16 years old & had a transmission rebuilt with him. Tim is a great mechanic that is very fair with what needs to be done & what he charges! I haven't taken my autos anywhere but here except for the basic oil change. Very trustworthy & always honest fair prices. I highly recommend his shop!

Ive gone here for all my transmission work. Tim and his son are very upfront and honest with all their work. They offer warranties and stand behind it. I would highly recommend them
