Melody Motors celebrating 59 years in Melfort

Melody Motors in Melfort is celebrating 59 years of service in the community.

Owner and General Manager Ken Madraga said every year feels like an accomplishment.

“I’m very happy, very excited every time that we celebrate another anniversary,” he said. “But this year we wanted to do it with a few extra specials so every department is taking part in it.”

To celebrate this year, the number ’59’ is all around Melody Motors. ‘The Works’ service package is $59, an express detail package is also $59, and window tinting is $59 per window. The dealership is also having all new vehicles $59 over dealer invoice. All of those deals will be happening until July 22.

The dealership has also had to adjust during the COVID-19 pandemic. Madraga said instead of having their normal lounge in the back portion of the dealership, that’s turned into an open space for conversations so there can be more distance between customers and staff. They’ve also added other smaller lounges throughout the dealership as well. He said it’s been nice to see the staff interact with customers again.

“I’ve been extremely happy with how our community has received this and taken everything and headed things very well,” Madraga told northeastNOW. “But also the fact that our staff has done a great job too.”

Melody Motors has also been active in the community over the years, whether it be with the food bank, or giving masks to local groups who are in need. Madraga said it’s important because he and his staff understand how difficult it can be for groups to raise funds.

Madraga added that planning is already in the works for the 60th anniversary.
