Quick oil change. They let me know about a few other fixes that could be done on my car but didn't pressure me into them. I appreciated the service and transparency. Thanks guys.Posted on Google![]()

George, the owner of Pete Kelly Auto, is hands down the best mechanic I've ever had. Honest, knowledgeable, and dependable, he truly cares about his customers and treats every vehicle like it's his own. He never recommends repairs you don't need and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. One thing I really appreciate is that George uses quality NAPA parts, so I know the repairs are built to last. It's rare to find a mechanic with this much integrity, skill, and pride in his work. If you're looking for an auto shop you can trust completely, I highly recommend George at Pete Kelly Auto. Excellent service, fair prices, and outstanding workmanship every time. Five stars all the way! Thank you, Angelina T. 😊Posted on Google![]()

Took my Silverado in for an AC problem. They had me in and out on the same day. But the nice thing was when I was in there a lady came in and she had a little fender bender earlier in the day and was getting her car checked out. They fixed her problem and they didn't charge her anything I thought it was pretty coolPosted on Google![]()

I’ve known George for many years, and I honestly can’t recommend Pete Kelly Auto enough. It’s really hard these days to find a mechanic you can trust, but George is exactly that kind of person. I’ve brought my own vehicles to him over the years, and I’ve always felt taken care of. I even sent my mom to him because I knew she’d be in good hands. Just yesterday she went in thinking something was wrong with her car. George checked everything out carefully and told her there was nothing that actually needed to be fixed. He easily could’ve done unnecessary work, but he didn’t—and that says everything about him. He’s the kind of mechanic who’s not just skilled, but also genuinely honest and fair. You can tell he actually cares about people, not just the job. That’s pretty rare. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your car, I wouldn’t hesitate to go to Pete Kelly Auto. I recommend George without a second thought. Thank you George!Posted on Google![]()

I’ve trusted Pete Kelley’s Automotive with six different vehicle repairs over the years, and they continue to exceed my expectations every time. Most recently, they repaired my truck, and once again the experience was outstanding. Their pricing is fair, the quality of the work is excellent, and they’re incredibly efficient without cutting corners. It’s hard to find an honest, dependable shop these days, but Pete Kelley’s has earned my trust time and time again. If you’re looking for a mechanic who does quality work at a fair price and stands behind it, I highly recommend Pete Kelley’s Automotive.Posted on Google![]()

I went to Pete’s to have my Black 2015 Silverado serviced for AC problems and leaks and they were fast efficient and precise and had it fixed the next day. They’re super fast and had me back on the road the next morning. Thank you guys so much for everything and I will definitely give 10/10 service. I recommend them to anyone .

If you want a straight to the point shop this is the shop for you. Told them what my car problems were, they diagnosed it and filed a claim on my behalf for Silver Rock and fixed the issues. Thank you! Will be back again! For maintenance of course.

Needle in a haystack! Trying to find an honest, capable mechanic is like that proverbial search for the needle in a haystack. Look no further. You have found him at Pete Kelly’s. Excellent work at more than fair prices. Never tries to upsell some unnecessary work. In fact, they try to save you money on your maintenance and repairs. I go out of my way to come here for all 5 of our family cars for basic oil changes all the way up to any major repairs needed. Over 5 years now and I will never go anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and just take your vehicle to Pete Kelly’s Automotive.

I was able to get an appointment within 24 hours of calling the shop and my car was finished same day! George, Aaron and the rest of the staff were incredibly welcoming and despite meeting them for the first time when I brought my car in to be looked over, it felt like I had known them for years. They showed me the parts they replaced and it’s a wonder how I was able to get my vehicle anywhere. If you’re looking for a shop that is quick and efficient and cares about their customers and their vehicles safety, I highly recommend you bring your vehicle(s)to Pete Kelly’s.
