5-Star Service, No Matter Which Door You Walk Through

These guys were amazing, my running boards got partially pulled off while on vacation 16 hours away from home. And we pulled up they looked at it and had it fixed for us in like an hour. They were great to us and if I lived in the area I would use them again.

Dale Marriott

Many thanks to the guys for coming to our rescue after our van door malfunctioned. They went above and beyond in fast response and concern for the fact I am wheelchair bound. Renewed my faith that there’s “good guys” out there. See you after the next hail storm!

Barbara Janish

These guys are amazing! Had someone hit and run my car while I was at work and my insurance company suggested them and in 2 weeks they had my car looking new again. They were kind and communicated everything. I thought I had the wrong car because they detailed it too! They made a very terrible month so much better couldn’t be more thankful.

Madison Claire

Mel’s did a great job fixing our car after it was rear ended. Looked at everything and made sure any damage was properly taken care of. We dealt with Wyatt and he did a great job keeping us informed and updated through the process. I would recommend Wyatt and Mel’s to anyone.

Wyatt Harwood

Both locations have great customer service and they have always done great work for me. They are very knowledgeable and helpful with all of your vehicle repairs! Wouldn’t take my vehicle anywhere else!

I’ve known Kevin for 30 years! He and his wife are like family to me. He has done an amazing job along with Linda of growing the business. They are by far the most fair and just people I have ever met! That goes with the staff as well. I would stake my reputation with Mel’s any day of the week.

Mel’s has taken great care of both me and my husband and our vehicles, on several occasions. They have restored two of my husband’s vehicles due to damage from a deer. We got them back looking brand new, inside and out! They were also able to help us in a pinch and are very kind and quickly responsive. Thank you Mel’s! It’s the only place we trust in RC with Auto Body Work.
