Took my car in for an oil change & diagnostic test. They ran the diagnostic test and called me the same day with the results and cost, informed me they had to order parts; I have a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. Two days later I picked my car up And my check engine light was off a d my car runs better than ever! Thank you to George and his team! Highly recommend & I will be returning next time I need repairs!

Pete Kelley's is a very good shop. They have worked on my Dodge Grand Caravan several times and never had a problem with the part or work that was done plus they make sure there is a warranty. They recently fixed my 1971 Ford F 100 that a Mobile Mechanic made a mess of. They had to reinstall the new parts that had just been installed by the Mobile Mechanic and replace one of them. The only reason I used the Mobile Mechanic was to get my truck running so I could take it to Pete Kelley's. They are pricey but if you want it done right and have a warranty it's worth it. I highly recommend Pete Kelley's.

I found out about Pete Kelly through word of mouth and they have delivered to impress! I am treated with such respect and the mechanics have shared so much knowledge on my car model with me. They are very resourceful, effective and respectful. I would highly recommend to anybody and everybody!

Excellent quality work from honest and trustworthy mechanics. Since taking my personal vehicle there, I have taken our second car in to have work done and have referred several people because this is such a great shop. I will continue to take my cars here as long as they are in business. I am a customer for life!

Pete Kelley's is very trustable! I have friends who take their cars here and I was given to them as a referral and I will only be taking my cars here from now on. Pricing is good and I do not feel like I am being ripped off. They take the time to really diagnose any issues with my car and fix it properly without finding a million other things to fix like most places do!

Left my truck here for a week, they didn t do anything & the service rep or finance manager, immediately told me my claim would be denied without even trying, claimed to have contacted my warranty company but didn t (probably because he wanted to just get paid extra idk) and kept saying how things would cost thousands of dollars etc etc and being very negative about my warranty. I went to pick up my truck, took it to another shop the next day and my truck was covered by my warranty completely and the service done on my truck was immaculate & they even fixed some other issues they caught early too. So to whoever the manager is, quit being negative and do your job. Maybe lose your recommendation with Car Shield too so we don t come to you since you hate using warranties. Happy New Year.

Seriously excellent service. Knowledgeable is just an understatement. I feel I got the advice and concern that I've lacked from other automotive repair shops. Honestly, I'm used to the bigger fancy looking places but as with restaurants, it's the Mom n Pop shops that are always best. Pete Kelleys is absolutely the best!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

George and his team did a wonderful job! They were able to save me about $600!! I had taken my car to multiple places that all said the issue was either the starter or the alternator or whatever. I had heard great things about Pete Kelly's and once I brought it in, they did a ton of tests and determined it was none of those issues but just a very simple battery drain. It was quick and easy and I am so glad I came to them! Service was great and so was the price!

They do great work and are very trustworthy. I wouldn't take my families vehicles anywhere else. It's really nice to have a mechanic that you can trust is giving you good advice. They have always been timely on finishing repairs/service appts as well. Great locally owned & operated business. George is awesome!

I ve been taking my car to Pete Kelley s for the past 16 years and they have always been wonderful. I just took my car in for an oil change and new breaks. The guys did great work and a George took care of me like always. I would highly recommend this business. They re honest, fair, and will always work with you.

I took my car in to have it checked out for some recent issues I had. This shop was clean and organized and it was a big place - like 10 bays. I was greeted with a smile and the utmost professionalism. I was worried that it was going to be an expensive repair, but they took great care of me and the price was so reasonable I was in disbelief! There were several commercial vehicles being worked on as well when I was there, which tells me they have the ability to work on several vehicles at once. I would recommend this place as somewhere you can trust and not be worried about being ripped off. They took care of me quickly and for much less than expected. That is the exact type of mechanic you want working on your vehicles.

For 7+ years myself, family and friends have taken our cars for service and repair because we understand the value of professionalism, great work ethic, and trust! I've never had a problem that couldn't be fixed at Pete Kelly's. They will always take care and do what's best for you. Great company/team very honest people! You will always walk away knowing you were in good hands! Thanks George and James for all you do!

George and team are great, they are trustworthy and effective. If any issues come up they are great at explaining situation and then handling it. You can drop off car overnight if needed

These guys are the best. If you ask they will explain any needed repairs. ( Sometimes I don't understand what they're talking about until they show me.) But they never talk down to me. The work gets done in a reasonable amount of time. If I request a rush they are honest about whether or not they can do it. They always call with an estimate before doing the work.

My pass airbag light came on inside my 2015 Nissan Altima in the middle of December. I took it in to the dealership and they quoted me over $2000 to fix the sensor! I am so glad I decided to get a second opinion. Someone on Facebook recommended Pete Kelley's Auto Service and George reached out to me via Facebook. This happened just right before Christmas, but George said to come on in the Monday morning after the holiday weekend. They were able to reset the pass airbag light on my car for free! I have now driven over 300 miles since then and the light is still off. They saved me over $2000 in unnecessary repairs. I am so appreciative! I also noticed while waiting for my repair that when another customer was asking questions about their spark plug issues George offered to take them back to the bay to show them what was going. The mechanics are very honest and open! I will definitely be heading to Pete Kelley's Auto Service next time I need maintenance or a repair on my car! They well deserve their 5 star rating!

I posted 3 years ago but the same sentiment applies! I am so grateful to have an auto team I can trust. I needed my brakes done and couldn't be happier with the service. I just can't say enough about having an honest, professional and incredible auto team. I would never go anywhere else!

Had our car at a different shop and we have carshield.,..the other shop tried to seriously overprice the work so we had it towed to Pete Kelley's and they did an excellent job and for a reasonable price and far exceeded our expectations. We want to thank George for getting to our car so quickly and working with carshield to get us taken care of. We will be bringing all our business to Pete Kelley's! And telling everyone! Thank youService: General repairs & maintenance

I do my own work on my vehicles but every once in awhile I m in over my head and I refuse to bring it anywhere other than Pete Kelley s. George Bolis, the owner is just one good dude. Lots of mechanics try to gauge you but they re always honest and they even refilled all my fluids prior to handing my keys back. Once you find a good mechanic you rest a little easier at night!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair

I highly recommend Pete Kelley s Auto Service. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I had a stripped bolt and could not find anyone that was able to remove it. Then I called Pete Kelley s Auto Service. I was helped right away and they worked tirelessly to remove it. I truly appreciate the guys at this auto shop and I ll make them my go to place for all my car needs. I cannot thank them enough for their honesty, kindness and generosity! Thank you.

I am so very grateful to George and his excellent mechanics at Pete Kelleys Auto! My daughter has a 10 year old Honda Accord and her AC was broken (for many months!). I was visiting her from CA recently and almost melted driving around with her. I was fortunate to meet George quite by chance and he suggested my daughter take her car to him so he could see what was going on. He was kind and so very courteous and met with my daughter to personally look at her car. George identified the problem and had things fixed within the hour. Top notch service, friendly and supportive staff, honest and easy to understand communication and probably the cleanest auto repair restrooms you will ever come across!! Thanks George, you have a customer for life in my daughter now and I am so very grateful she now has a reliable and honest auto repair shop she can call on any time!

The service is Great! They are very knowledgeable and tell me prices before the work is done. James in the office also lets me know if I will need to get something fixed in the future, and how soon. I feel he cares about my car. Always takes good care of me!

New to the neighborhood, we noticed many automotive service companies. Aaron at Pete Kelley's was solid from the first phone call. They pointed out some items needing attention, made a follow up appointment and they hit it right on the number, work done well. Feel like we found a quality automotive shop and will continue to roll our rigs in there as necessary.

The price for my front wheel bearing replacement and alignment was fair (as in equitable and reasonable) according to my research. It was promptly and correctly done. The best things about the service: there was no "sir, we've found these additional things which gotta be fixed". There was no bait-and-switch pricing. I asked for a service,and they did it professionally. This is now our shop for stuff I cannot do myself. Thank you to Pete Kelley Automotive.

Everytime my car had problems I would always come here and every experience was great. The owner George is honest, professional, and helps you with what you need. He worked with me a little and saved me a few bucks. I would definitely travel all the way here from Tempe if I had any more problems!

I have been going to Pete Kelly Auto for the past 9 months. They have worked on my Mustang and my older 92 van. James runs very good shop with his mechanics. Is skills and knowledge base are very Superior especially when dealing with custom high performance vehicles. He makes it a point to get the vehicle done when he says he will. His prices are very fair and reasonable. James always make sure to check fluids and any other potential problems with the vehicle. You don't have to take his word for it he will show you where the problems lie with your vehicle.

Went to another autoshop for a brake check. They said they needed replacing and would cost over $800!!! Came to Petes the next day to get a second opinion. Thank God I did!!! One of the mechanics took it for a test drive, measured the brake pads and told me all were in perfect shape!!! Over 90% of the brakes were still there. WOW!!! Never going back to you....BAYS!!!!!!!Service: Brakes
