Brake repair service near Grant, FL

Rob was very honest and insightful on issue I had on my old Toyota Avalon and my f150 pickup. He can fix it,if it is possible to be fixed!

By far the most honest and straightforward auto repair provider I have used in my 41 years in Melbourne, Florida. They charge a market price (not a low price) and I am fine with that. Mellor's works on many different vehicles, which is a challenge, and generally use good quality aftermarket parts. I often ask Mellor's to quote to me both dealer parts and aftermarket parts, and then I decide which parts to ask them to get. That flexibility as to parts is important to me. For example, I always without exception choose the dealer oil filter.

I had an accident that significantly damaged my car. It was towed to M and L Auto Center because they were next on the police rotation for towing. I was going to have the car repaired by the facility suggested by my insurer and went to M and L to sign a release to transfer it. After speaking at length with the owner, Mike, I felt that if he repaired the car, he would be an advocate serving my interests rather than those of the insurer, and serve as a liaison throughout the repair process. Also, his office and shop were extremely neat, clean, and well-organized, which I took as an indication of how they might approach their work. I left the car at M and L for the repairs and am glad I did. The car was finished on the day it was promised, which was a very reasonable length of time considering the amount of damage. Throughout, I was kept up to date on the progress and was always able to speak with Mike when a question arose. The car was spotless inside and out when I picked it up. The repair looked perfect and the car ran great. A couple very minor details were noticed at the time of delivery and were immediately rectified. Within the week after leaving the shop, a couple problems arose that were intermittent or delayed, and not initially apparent. Both times the issues were immediately investigated and rectified. I was asked to follow-up with Mike should any other questions or problems arise (none have), and I feel confident they would also be addressed promptly and properly. Having no knowledge of local body shops, and having to decide whom to trust to repair my car under the stress of an accident, was a difficult decision. I feel fortunate that M and L happened to be who the police called to tow the car. They were extremely professional and helped make the repair process as painless as I could have hoped. I would not hesitate to return to M and L for other work in the future.

My mom went in for an oil change and they told her that power steering fluid is leaking and power steering could go out at any time. They quoted $1,300+ and used the fear factor to try and sell her something they thought they could get away with. Fortunately we got a 2nd opinion from a reputable local auto repair who said the rack & pinion steering was fine & that there was no leak that needed to be addressed at that time, car was in very good shape... bottom line was that we were about to get ripped off. ps...oil change was sloppy and left oil all over bottom of car. These guys should not be allowed to do business, but unfortunately, there are new unsuspecting customers every day. Please spread the word..

I had just completed a 10 hour drive to Vero Beach. Along the way there were a couple of times when the traffic on the interstate came to an abrupt stop. I had to brake very hard to avoid hitting the car in front of me. By the time I got to Vero, my brake pedal seemed to go very close to the floor and it felt like it was taking longer to stop the car. I am not normally a worry wart. Mechanical things don't usually scare me. But... when it feels like the brakes aren't working as well as they should, I do get a little concerned. So, I looked for a place that I could have my brakes checked out. In recent years I have tried to give my business to small, local businesses instead of the big national chains. I found Mark's. I called and spoke to Josh. I could tell that he was very busy. he could schedule an appointment the next day, but I was driving back to North Carolina the next day and really needed someone to just check the brakes. As I was about to say thanks and try to find someone else to help, he reluctantly said he could look at the car if I could get there in 30 minutes. I felt really bad about this because he clearly was busy. He probably had cars that he had committed to completing that day. And he was taking the time to try to help me. That was excellent customer service. Well, for me it was good! If I slowed down someone else's car, not so good for them. I immediately took the car to Mark's. Josh was awesome. Very nice. Very polite. He did a spot check of all the wheels to look at the brakes. He checked the brake fluid and (master cylinder???) Then he took the car for a drive. When he came back he said that the brakes seemed fine. He tried hard stops, soft stops and everything in between. He said that personally, he would have no worries about driving the car with the brakes. That gave me a tremendous amount of peace of mind. As I drove away and began "testing" my brakes I realized that maybe I had overreacted to the condition of my brakes. Maybe after driving for 10 hours with relatively few instances where I had to stop, once I got off the interstate maybe I was simply underestimating how long it would take me to stop. I don't know. But, my brakes do seem fine now. I am a big believer in customer service. I will pay more to take my business to someone that appreciates me as a customer and treats me fairly. (Note: Josh did not charge me for examining the brakes and the test drive so, I don't actually know what the pricing schedule is at Mark's.) In the future, I will take my car to Mark's.

The above review from Rosemary Smith is absolutely inaccurate. Rosemary's daughter arrived at our shop with less than 5 minutes until we close. At this point, all of the bay doors are shut and the tools/equipment are locked away. If a customer does indeed show up with 15 minutes until we close, we would absolutely fix a flat tire and this has been a policy of Mid Coast Tire since 1977. It takes less than 10 minutes to fix a flat tire. The other tire store Rosemary mentions is open until 7PM on Saturday, but they are a national chain. We are a small family owned business who have been here in Vero Beach since 1977.

Do not even consider going to this nonsense gas and robbery service station. The one mechanic stated I need certain parts, countered by the owner. So Sifford stated the parts are not available anywhere and I must use OEM parts at a significantly higher price in 2 days. What a liar!!! CARQUEST next door had the simple parts as well as most probably every other local shop I would expect. I told others of what happened and they had similar experiences of lies and high prices. The sign inside represents all. $3 for air in spare. There is zero consideration for your auto; just to get your money. Do not even get gas here!!!

The job was quick and employees made the process simple. Haven't been able to find prices comparable to them locally. I'm happy to support this mom and pop shop and will most definitely be back for an oil change soon!

During Covid-19, none are wearing masks, there's no hand sanitizer, the place is filthy, the seats look like someone rubbed grease, sweat and food onto them and the bathrooms are a mess as well. There was dark marks on my door, dash board and steering wheel indicating that they didn't wear gloves and didn't wash their hands after doing whatever. Price wasn't great for what what I bought. Personally, when people don't call you by your name and call you Boss, it's another word in the service industry that's demeaning. On a positive note, the service was preformed within the time given. I wont be going back.
