Melrose Auto Repair

I recently had my car serviced at Certified Automotive Solutions, 17 Upham Street, Melrose and I couldn't be happier with the service. I have a 2006 Subaru Tribeca and got a high estimate from my dealership to replace two rear hubs and ABS sensors. I searched for a mechanic in my area who worked on Subarus and the reviews for Certified Automotive Solutions were positive so I called them. Brandon was knowledgeable and wonderful to work with and scheduled my Subaru for a free estimate. The owner and ASE Master Technician, Jaime Dovale took the time out of his busy schedule (and they are very busy which is a good sign) to put my car up on a lift and walk me through the repairs that were needed. I really appreciated him taking the time because they usually provide detailed photos with explanation of repairs needed. Jaime explained in detail the issues and also prioritized what repairs should be done first and others that could wait given my budget. My dealership never took the time to show me what needed to be fixed/replaced and why. It turns out that my car only needed one rear hub and sensor replaced, but the front lower ball joints were bad, the master window switch was failing and the radiator and hose had a leak. During the repairs, a few other issues came up but I was not surprised given the year and mileage of my Subaru and in actuality, should have been taken care of by my dealership at 80,000 miles. The team was friendly and professional. They kept me updated throughout the process. Given all the work that was done on my Subaru, I found the pricing reasonable. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and honest car repairs.

Professional, fair prices, great service. I went in with an issue on a holiday weekend and they had my car fixed just a few days later ahead of schedule. Very honest about what they thought the issue was, set expectations on timeline and then kept me in the loop while they investigated and repaired it. I will be returning for any new issues my car has! They also showed me the broken parts of my car when I asked and explained how they went together because I showed interest, that wasn't required but was very cool.

Great as always! Uncomplicated scheduling, quick write up and fast pick-up. Services provided at great quality and reasonable prices. Central location, putting it at a walkable distance for large parts of Melrose. Easy for onward travel if dropping the car off.

Look no further...

Did a great job on my O2 Highlander with a new timing belt and alternator. Attentive and professional staff. Would happily work with Jamie and his crew in the future

Unbelievable team. Everyone from Steve, to Carrol, to Jaime, and everyone else on the staff are absolutely incredible and got my fiancé's car back on the road after breaking down in the middle of the city. All hope seemed to be lost for this car and yet these guys diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Can't recommend them enough!

Thank you for such a seamless and quick repair on my Subaru! Im not from Mass and when my car broke down in Melrose I wasn’t sure what to do, but Certified Auto Solutions was great!! Great price and awesome communication!
