About The Recon Pros

Mel Craig runs this shop, and the reviews keep coming back to paint. He's been in the detailing business for decades and appeared on Wheeler Dealers. The crew handles RVs along with cars and boats. Services include full body wash, wax, clay bar treatment, and ceramic coatings. What reviewers mention most is the paint work. One customer brought in a 20-year-old BMW and said the results were like wizardry. Another with a Mustang had cloudy vinyl stripes brought back to life. People also note helpful staff and quality work. A headlight restoration customer said Mel did the job himself and showed him how. If your rig needs oxidation removed or a good interior cleaning, this is the kind of place that takes that seriously. The shop also does training, but for RV owners the draw is the hands-on attention to paint and finish.

“To say Mel is a master of his craft would be an understatement. I brought him a 20-year-old BMW that had accumulated some road wear and swirls over the years.” – Brandon, 4 months ago, on Google
