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.

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. 😊

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 cool

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!

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.

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 . Primo_fireworks
