Mel Martin moved to Arizona when he was only 16 years old and then started his very own auto-repair garage in Mayer the very next year. From there, Mel moved to Phoenix, where he opened another garage and started a towing buisness.
Mel not only has a love for cars, he is an expert mechanic who could literally fix any of the cars in the museum blindfolded. Over the years, Mel's love of cars led to a substantial collection and after the years of joy they brought him, he decided to give back to the Valley and open the Martin Auto Museum.
And it is here that Mel wishes to pass down his sizeable amount of knowledge to the generations that follow. We thank him for his enormous contribution to all.
