Overpriced This place towed my son's car after an accident…read more Instead of towing it to the-- very close by--- autobody shop that we requested, they towed it back to their shop due to a shortage of workers. OK, that happens sometimes, not a big deal. But, the next day they had it towed to the autobody shop (where it should have initially been towed to) and then charged us for 2 tows. Almost $500! I don't know why the State Police use these scammers. Never again.

When we first moved to Belleville, we took our car to this place simply because they were within…read morewalking distance. I was fairly bristling with hostility, as my hubby was deployed and it was just me and my daughters and MIL, so I made sure to double check EVERYTHING they told me. They were good humored and patient, showed me everything they were going to do or had done and they did a great job for a good price. To my mortification, due to a mixup on where my hubby's paycheck was deposited, the check bounced. They called us personally instead of shuffling us directly to another business, or sending it back to bounce again, and very kindly allowed us to make up the payment again, using a check again, after we got it taken care of. Since then, we have never had a lick of trouble with these people. They have even given us rides home when it was raining, or really hot and they didn't want to see us walking home when we dropped off the vehicle. They remember our old vehicles, and this last time, when I, for once, called ahead and told them what needed to be done, they went ahead and pre ordered the stuff they'd need, because they remembered what they were dealing with and knew what they'd need (brake work). Because they are a small shop, we sometimes have to pay for the part to be ordered and delivered before they can make a repair, and that's completely understandable. Because they sometimes get overwhelmed they can take a little longer than some larger places, but since we know that we can work around it. They are scrupulously honest, kind, and go the extra mile for their customers. If they cannot do a repair, they tell you up front and are willing to recommend some local shops that can. They're our first choice, every time.

My hubby backed our truck into a tree and this place was on the list of recommended repair places…read more He managed to damage the fender, bumper tailgate all in one fell swoop and the tail light was destroyed. Because of the angle of his adventure, it took longer than expected to fix. They initially were going to bend it out but it wouldn't hold the tail light so they replaced the entire fender. They also touched up a couple of other small spots that I had pointed out to them. They kept me up to date as they worked on it and the final result is awesome. I asked the tech I picked it up from about doing some additional things and he was very helpful on DIY options for my little task.

The car was drivable, but the hood, finder, lights and entire front was smashed and mangled. I took the car to Kelso for repair and they did an amazing job! Insurance listed it under comprehensive, so there was nothing out-of-pocket. Kelso was out-of-network, but that only meant that it took a day longer than normal; well worth the wait. When I got it back, about 3 weeks, the car looks as if nothing ever happened. When something is fixed better than it was, that's a good enough business to win a repeat customer. When the employees of that business display a caring and kind-hearted attitude towards their customers, that's good enough to win a customer for life, I would trust any and all my vehicles to Kelso and highly recommend them for anyone considering bodywork!

I tend to prefer places that don't look too nice from the outside (which is why I passed up a different store on the way) because I feel that my money is paying for appearance and therefore work price is inflated! This is absolutely not the case. Although plain, this is a clean and well run place. The lot was filled with Hondas and BMWs and a few others obviously. Since I have both, this appealed to me! Auto body work is a tough job and it is nice to see people with expensive cars and trusting them for the work. I needed a new bumper and wanted to pay out of pocket. I was hoping to just do the bare minimum because I am selling the car, but he offered to clear up the headlights (like the sparkling ones on the BMW in the lot) for $50 since the bumper will already be off. I couldn't even see the glass on those headlights --that's how clean they were! Sold! Anyway, not only did he take me right off the street, he looked immediately and gave me an incredible price. This was impressive two ways: one, the price. Jesus it's a good deal! Second, I didn't have to wait around for someone to look at it or bring it back in or wait days to hear information of any kind. There it was: price and completion date in a matter of 15 minutes. He said he could get the bumper Monday and it should be ready Tuesday. This is my final glowing point.... No long wait! I will bring my cars here any time I need something done. Everything about my experience was pleasant! If you need any kind of body work, come here. I also saw they had a sign for hail damage removal. Check this place out!
