About this data

278thby size in this category

Melrose, Massachusetts has 1 station, which is 0% of everything listed for Massachusetts.

All of them sit in Middlesex County.

These 1 entries come from a register that publishes no license dates at all. For those, the only thing that can honestly be said is that the facility appeared in the state register when it was last refreshed, on September 23, 2026. No issue, renewal or expiry date is shown for them, and none is guessed.

All 1 hold the same class of license: Class A: passenger vehicles, minivans, pickups and SUVs up to 10,000 lbs GVWR, in the source's own wording.

1 of the 1 (100%) hold more than one class of license. Each is one entry here, with every class it holds shown in its record detail. Across this page the classes held include emissions (1), safety (1).

The map positions come from the register itself rather than from an address lookup. No distance claim is made anywhere in this text; the "nearest to me" list computes straight-line distances in your own browser from your own location.

Melrose, Massachusetts ranks 278th of the 335 cities covered in this category, holding 0% of the listings, ahead of 57 others.

Melrose: questions

Where can I find stations in Melrose, MA?

1 station in Melrose is on the official list: Alan's Auto INC at 178 Tremont St Melrose Ma. 1 of them publish a phone number.

What is the nearest option outside Melrose?

Main Street Automotive Ltd in Stoneham, about 1.7 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.

How many stations are there in Middlesex county?

393 in Middlesex county and 1,688 across Massachusetts.

Is this station currently licensed?

The state register these records come from publishes no license dates, so the honest answer is narrower than it looks: each of these 1 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 23, 2026. No expiry date is shown because none is published, and none is guessed. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.

Why does one address hold several licenses?

Because a row in the state register is a license, not a business. 1 of the 1 entries on this page hold more than one class at the same address, typically an inspection license alongside a repair or dealer license. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the facility rather than on the license, so one shop is one listing and its other classes appear on its own page.

Why do the cards not show star ratings?

No public rating has been matched to any of these 1 records, so no stars are shown. The license record is the stronger signal in any case: where the register publishes them, the issue date, last renewal, expiry and the state license number all come from the issuing authority, which is not true of a star average.
