Testimonials

On 12/22/2025 Ben Garcia had this to say:
I recently moved to Watertown, and as anyone who has moved knows, finding a new, trustworthy mechanic is always a top priority and a bit nerve-wracking. I decided to take my vehicle to Mel’s Garage, and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. Cory handled my service and did an absolutely fantastic job. He was professional, clear about what needed to be done, and the quality of the work was top-notch. It’s such a relief to find a reliable shop so quickly after a move. If you’re new to the area or just looking for a straight-shooting, skilled mechanic, I highly recommend asking for Cory at Mel’s! Testimonial written by Ben Garcia on this site.

On 11/7/2025 Kim Fellows had this to say:
From the first time forward at Mel’s I was treated with respect and kindness, from when I made the appointment, to when I arrived 2 days prior on a tow truck, through the diagnosis, rebuilding of the transmission and working with the insurance company, everything was clearly & thoroughly explained in a way I could understand. I was kept informed during the process & am pleased with the results! Thank you Cory & Travis ( I think…)Strong work & presence in the community! I will gladly refer others. -Kim Fellows Testimonial written by Kim Fellows on this site.

I would highly recommend Mel's Garage for all of your engine repairs and diagnostics. Corey and his team called me specifically to let me know what was found, and a solid price for their work. Well done Corey!👍 Testimonial written by James Jeffrey on this site.

Have been taking my car to Mel’s Garage for several years. Tim now Cory, the owners, are helpful & personable. Their staff are friendly & helpful also. Just had some work on my car. Jordan was the person who primarily took care of me. I trust my car needs with them & they don’t fix things unnecessarily. Thank you! Testimonial written by Rachel on this site.
