Melvin's Repair Shop is an auto and truck shop based in St. Augustine, Florida, at 1625 Old Moultrie Rd. Auto repair, truck service and diesel work are its main trades, and it also works on motorhomes. It does not come to you. It offers no towing or mobile service at this time, so you bring the motorhome to the shop.
Motorhomes, gas and diesel, are the only RV type named, and no RV brands are. The shop does not name RV systems such as refrigerators, slide-outs or generators, so ask whether it works on the one that failed. It covers all of St. Johns County, including St. Augustine Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach and Palm Valley.
No hourly rate, diagnostic fee or motorhome price is published, so ask for a price before you drive over. The shop offers a "FREE estimate before any work begins." Hours are 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday, and same-day auto repair is available if you call before 3 PM. Card payments carry a 3% transaction fee, while cash, debit and checks do not. The warranty runs 24 months or 24,000 miles.
The shop holds NAPA AutoCare & TruckCare certification, and its technicians are ASE-certified. ASE certification is earned by individual technicians through testing, so ask which of them work on motorhomes. Founded in 1926, the shop is family owned and run by brothers Robert and Clarence Jr. Chapman. Nothing published says whether it is licensed or insured, so ask. Google rates it 4.8 from 386 reviews.
This is a good fit for an owner in St. Johns County who can get the motorhome to Old Moultrie Road during weekday hours and wants a price before work starts, or a traveler already in the area who can wait for weekday hours.
