The guys at Martel Auto are great! They worked us in quickly to check out a car we wanted to buy. They saved us thousands of $$ by letting us know it needed big repairs. (We didn't buy the car!). They are honest, straight shooters who have served the community for years. While we waited to get our car checked, we saw an older lady from the neighborhood stop by just to talk and catch up -- pretty much like something you'd see in Mayberry in the good old days. Such a relief to know that Martel and its crew are people we can trust!
