I came in to get repairs because my truck was long overdue and I'm taking it on a long haul to move out east to the Maritimes. Chris and the team at Melo Auto were awesome. As an auto layman finding a good mechanic is always a challenge. But Chris was upfront and honest about his assessment of the state of my vehicle and explained the problems to me in a way I could understand, even going so far as to show me the problems while my truck was being examined.
Because of my limited budget, Chris was able to work with me to prioritize the repairs that were necessary from a safety standpoint and was honest about the ones that could wait. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of. My rather extensive but necessary repairs were done promptly and on estimate. Before the repairs were started Chris explained to me that my break pads could be reused, but when I came to pick up the truck the next day he said he had to replace them but didn't up charge me because he doesn't like to "tell people one thing and than call them during the repairs and say its going to cost a ton more". Amazing.
He was even able to get me a great deal on winter tires.
My old truck drives like new.
Such a shame to find an amazing mechanic right before I move out of town. If you need some work done and want it done honestly and competently, Chris and the guys at Melo auto should be your first and only stop.
