It really doesn't get any better than this. This is how a repair shop should be run. The only way I could be more pleased is if it was free. I'm in the St. Augustine area for a few weeks for work. Last Sunday my diesel truck died on the highway and left me stranded, I had to call a tow truck. I had no idea where to have the truck towed. The driver suggested Melvin's. Monday morning they called to say they were working on it and by Monday afternoon it was fixed and ready for pick-up. The repair charges were reasonable. Let me say that again, fixed in less than 24 hours and fixed right, at a reasonable price. Thanks Melvin's!!

Ever looked at the bottom of your shoes and noticed that one area of the sole is more worn than another? The way you walk causes a wear pattern to occur as you put more weight on certain areas of your feet. If your shoe needed work, you would take it to a cobbler.

Our St Augustine drivers have been experiencing issues with their transmissions and there are a few things that we here at Melvin's Auto & Truck Repair feel are important to know so that you are more comfortable and confident if you are, indeed experiencing a transmission problem of any kind. First, if you drive a vehicle manufactured in the past few decades, there’s a good chance your transmission has a variety of sensors attached to it which monitors all kinds of things - fluid pressure, vehicle speed, temperature, air intake at the engine, and so on. The first thing to check is your Transmission Sensor, which is a much more affordable fix than replacing your transmission!
