For the amount of money they charge, I am not impressed with the Interior cleaning I had done, if you want your car looking the way you brought it in, great place to go.

Amazing! Great attention to detail! With kids it’s crazy how much dirt accumulates in your vehicle. I’ve never seen our vehicle look or smell so nice :) better than the day we bought it! Thanks to the Warren and the team at Melanson Motors!

Wow !! Warren and his team are incredible. They took my 2013 Harley Electra Glide with dull paint and tarnished chrome and made her look as beautiful as the day it came out of the factory door. If you have anything that needs the best detailing available, run don't walk to Melanson Motors!!

My first time there and Warren and crew did a great job, got all the winter white salt out of the carpets, and all were very friendly, will recommend to anyone. Thanks.
