"I've been doing business with this company for 40 years. It's a family own business that treats you like family. From my classic muscle car to my new 4 wheel drive pick up. And many different vehicles in the past.All the workers are very professional and I would recommend them for ANY automotive repair. So if you want it done right and professional, bring it right downtown. THANKS Bill."

"These people are awesome. They got my f350 in, fixed, and back on the road, in a flash! I even had a 40 gooseneck trailer hooked up to the truck, they helped me contend with, so they could work on it. Its a local, family business so you feel good supporting hard working people like yourself. They have been in business since the 50's so you know you get the benefit of experience that generations have passed down. These aren't just any young, newly minted, wrench turners, these guys are generation deep fixers!"

"I showed up on RAGBRAI day with a flat bike tire. After trying to inflate a tire that wasn't holding air, a very helpful person, whose name I didn't get offered to take me in his truck to a bike shop. I gratefully accepted. Obviously, the people at Merrill are helpful even when they won't make a dime!"

"I can't say enough good about this shop. I was traveling across the country and needed a new axle on my flatbed while hauling a a F150. They were able to get my in and keep me moving with the correct axle and zero issues. THANK YOU!! I drove over 4,000 miles that trip and because of them it was a good trip."
