Melvin’S Tire & Auto Service Inc.

After spending quite a bit of money over the year at Melvin’s, I called up and asked them how much it’d cost to install some parts for me. The guy asked what I wanted to install, and when I said brake pads and rotars, he said that they refused to install customer parts.
Typical of the bigger name chains, but I expected more out of Melvin’s.
Bottom line, the brake pads and the rotars for my SUV ran me about $ 350, give or take, and these were the lifetime, high quality brake pads and the $ 70 a pop rotars for each of the two fronts and like $ 40 for each of the two rear… so good parts at a high price.
Imagine if I had gotten them from Melvin’s? Those $ 50 brake pads would have been $ 100, those $ 70 rotars would have been $ 150, and then labor would have been another $ 200-​$ 300.
Rip off. Instead of trying to keep customers, they chase them away with their greedy policies that force their customters to spend more than they need to.
In my earlier review I said they had reasonable prices. It seems now that when it comes to little rinky-​dink shit their prices are reasonable, but when they see the big $$$ they become like all of the other auto places — out for only a quick, hugely-​marked-​up buck at the customer’s expense.
Bad way to keep customer loyalty.
