Kelly Automotive has been doing service on my car and truck for over 12yrs and does excellent work and Jason is a true professional and very honest. I highly recommend Kelly Automotive to anyone for all of your automotive needs. read more

I took my car in with an oil leak. They found where it was coming from and only charged me for half an hour instead of a full hour of labor, which I expected. Honest and super nice. read more

The service is amazing. I won't bring my car anywhere else. Jason is a straight-shooter and honest. He won't over-sell you on parts and services that you don't really need. If you get an estimate someplace else, bring it to him for a second opinion and it could save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars. This is the kind of mechanic my dad told me to find and I'm so grateful I did. read more

They have amazing turn around and they make me feel safe! As a Woman, I appreciate the time they take telling me what is wrong with my car and why they advise me to do what is necessary. I don't feel hustled. Explainin to me what is happening with my car and my money! I am always given a choice and I love that! Thanks Kelly Automotive! You're a Blessing For Sure! read more

Jason is fair and knowledgeable. Will keep bringing our cars here. I inquired about getting my breaks done and my car is a 1998, there are lots of things that could/should be repaired. He didn't try to upsell me and he told me honestly the things I should fix sooner than later or things I can wait on/might not be worth it given the age. My dad is a mechanic and he agreed with everything Jason told me. Honest and quality service. read more

I had bought a used F150 from a dealer about 18 months ago. Never really had the brakes inspected, and I thought I felt and heard something recently. Since it had 90+k miles on it, I figured it needed a front brake job. I am pretty familiar with cars, change my own oil and other minor things, but have never done brakes. After reading reviews on Yelp, decided to try Kelley's Automotive, based on the reviews and the proximity to my work. He ended up checking the brakes and took it for a test drive, and found that I did not need anything. Brake pads were in great shape. No charge for the inspection. Gave me some free advice on other maintenance questions I had. I will for sure be back. read more

Had never gone here before, been having a recurring issue with my A/C so decided to give this local place a shot. Positives: Jason the owner was friendly, seemed to have a good idea right away what the problem was, gave a very reasonable quote (about 100 less than I expected to pay) had it fixed by the end of the day, and it's working like a charm. Negatives: none actually. Definitely recommended. read more

Jason got me in quick with a diagnosis and got my fixed my truck with swiftness. I can't recommend this shop enough

I have had Jason and his crew work on several of my cars, all with great care and wonderful customer service. In a world full of swindlers and dishonest business practices, Jason has always done right by me. His knowledge is vast and his work is of the highest quality. Recently, I had a terrible, dishonest experience with a tire shop. Coincidentally, I needed Jason to work on my car and took it to him after this experience. He listened carefully and explained the best and least expensive manner to fix my car. He also told me how some businesses are dishonest and explained how I could get an honest response from such a business in a professional manner. His knowledge and care extends beyond just being a mechanic. When I arrived to have my car repaired, he quickly discovered that the warehouse had sent the wrong model of part for my car. Not to be defeated, Jason found another way to fix my car properly and get it on the road again. When I was presented with the invoice, it was about $400.00 less then I expected. In a business with a lot of shady characters, Jason and his shop stand out as exemplary in every regard. I highly recommend this shop for any repairs needed on your car, regardless of make or model. Jason will get it done, honestly, and for a lot less then many dealerships. read more

I have known Jason and family for close to 30 years and he is exactly as the previous reviews say: completely honest and trustworthy. We usually have brakes and other basic maintenance done here but I would not hesitate to have major service done, just wish he were closer to Roseville. Love the fact that I know someone who shoots straight since car mechanics can be hit or miss. He's also honest and will say "yeah, you could have that done, but you don't need it right away" and that is always good to know especially if you are not knowledgeable in mechanics. Customer for life. Thanks Jason read more

I've taken my 2011 Ford Escape here several times. Jason is always accommodating, very clear on services performed (or estimates), and honest with his pricing. Recommended. read more

I had my Ford truck diesel in Kelly's shop around Jan of this year to replace a fuel pump and I left a review of what took place! Read review I put in Jan! Now they replaced the fuel pump and guess what my fuel pump has failed already! Now you would think for me to take it back but in my Jan review you know why I don't! So I will have my previous shop replace at my cost! I don't recommend his shop period for an owner to admit his mechanic caused the many issues and not pay for all the damages tells me not to do business at that shop! read more

Kelley was highly recommended from a friend i play ball with. We were talking about a vehicle i just inherited from my uncle a 1970 Mercury Cougar. He immediately told me to take it to Kelly because of his honesty, expertise and transparency. Sure enough the next day i had the car towed to his shop. Once he saw the car his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, you can tell that he was very excited about this car. We talked about what my vision was and he gave me recommendations from his ideas. I can honestly say, talking with him for that first hour in person it felt like we known each other for much longer because he was very down to earth and relatable. I didn't feel like i was being sold on something but being helped in the most genuine way. I'm very happy i brought my vehicle here and I'm even more excited about the progress and outcome. Thanks Kelley I appreciate you. read more

A local Ford dealer recommended I go to Jason Kelley and Kelley Automotive for help with a transmission problem. Jason replaced the transmission quickly, and for less than he quoted for the work. How cool is that! He kept me informed about the work and some different options I had. I would definitely recommend him and his shop. read more

It is so difficult to find a good and honest mechanic, even more so when you just moved to a new city where you don't know anyone, I googled mechanics and Kelley Automotive was my first choice, Jason is not only a good mechanic, is a person with an excellent customer service, he took the time to explain the repairs that my car needed, not only he fix it from day to day but for half the price of what someone else wanted to charge me. I highly recommend him. read more

Have dealt with Kelley's twice and have been treated exceedingly well each time. Seems to be a busy shop, I benefitted by calling ahead and setting a time to come by. read more

This place was absolutely awesome! James took a look at our mini RV and suggested we take it to a shop that specializes in a few RV items. He went to the trouble to give us a recommendation, estimated costs and gave us some tips on the RV. He went out of his way to offer great customer service and we will be bringing our RV in for some mechanical fixes after we wrap up at the RV shop. I highly recommend Kelley Automotive if you are looking for honest, quality work with great customer service! read more

Kelley Automotive did a great job on my 74 corvette. This shop does honest work and they're reliable. They're fair with their prices and what's important to me is that they do the job the right way. I recommend Kelley Automotive for work on any Chevy. Coincidentally, someone brought in their 59 corvette in while I was picking mine up. They can fix any car any time the right way. read more

I was referred here after Elk Grove Ford stated they did not work on cars older than 10 years. I had an electrical problem relating to the air conditioning compressor during the HOTTEST week of the year!

Within a couple of days I was up and running with a very cold air conditioner! I would recommend his shop to anyone who is looking for good, quality, work at a fair price. I will definitely go back. PROS: Good work, Fair pricing, very friendly, fast! CONS: None. read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience and will no longer refer or do business with them. They had a simple task to do which was flush transmission fluid and change a few parts with my water pump and hose. After getting my truck back the truck did not start. For some reason the battery was loose, but after getting that all connected the trucks rpm was jumping. I wasn't concerned because it is a work truck and I assumed that's how it drove before. Once the worker got the truck back it stalled twice on the way to his home. We then towed it back to him to look at which he couldn't figure out after two and a half days of work. I then decided to bring it to the dealership because, well they make the vehicle they will know how to fix it. I forgot to mention we dropped the truck off in running condition terrible running condition but it could still start. I personally went to get it and they let me know I couldn't take it because it no longer could even start. After $2,500 in repairs the mechanics at this new shop found silicone in the transmission pan in replace of a bolt. Leaking water hose and a crank shaft sensor broken. Also a few other items that I won't get into in this review. After all his original work that wasn't completed properly the first time and breaking a sensor he offered to pay the labor he charged me. He refused to pay me for the sensor he broke that the dealership had to fix. Unfortunately I can't say it was one hundred percent his fault for everything that happened but the spotty work that was done had to get fixed by someone else and they charged us to fix his work! He didn't even pay us back for the sensor he broke. Sad to leave such a bad review but right when I thought I found a perfect mechanic it all fell apart. I will be using Ford Folsom fleet. They took all responsibility on fixing and spent many hour FOR FREE! To get this resolved. read more

Jason Kelley is the best machanic we have ever worked with. He has been servicing our 2 econoline vans for the last several years. He is up front with you on any service or repair needed. Our dad just had his transmission done, and was thrilled by the price and the work!! read more

Do not buy a car from these guys. Priced right, however alot of red flags when it comes to mechanical issues. Example: belts broken, tranny with not oil in it, broken handles, oil leaks etc.. all salvage titles as well which it does not mention anywhere on Thier sites they tell you when you get there. Decent people to talk to that's as far as I'd go. read more

Wonderful people, wonderful shop.I would recommend Kelly's automotive. One of the best places to receive automotive repair. P.S Please don't try and lowball him for he is a fair and reasonable man. read more

I have known Jason for about 25 years and he has probably worked on 6-7 cars within my family. He is the most honest, fair and dependable person. Finding that in a mechanic is almost unheard of, so if you're looking for reliable service, Jason Kelley is the one. read more

Jason was amazing! You just know you are in good hands right from the start. I mentioned I was taking care of the car for my mom and he did everything in his power to get it back to me asap. He provided cost effective options and due to the part being available, I got a call 3 hrs later saying it was fixed. Definitely my "go to" spot! read more

Found my Sacramento area mechanic. I'm temporarily up here (Sacramento) on military orders and needed an oil change. I called Jason and asked if he could fit me in today and he did. Very nice and professional. My Sequoia takes a lot of oil and I'm used to paying $125 for full synthetic with my long time mechanic. Jason came in well under that. If I'm still here in a couple of months I'll be coming back for a brake job. read more

Jason is a true professional and it shows. He is very fair in pricing, extremely knowledgeable in his industry, and most importantly he is honest. It is very rare to find a mechanic these days with his old fashioned values. He honestly cares about his work and your needs. I won't let another shop work on any of my vehicles. Jason you've earned my business for life. read more

My sister-in-law said her a/c needed to be fixed. I researched several shops online and found Kelley's had the highest number of positive reviews. I have a speech defection that makes it hard to understand me over the phone, so I went and talked to Jason in person. He was extremely pleasant and agreed to do the work as soon as we brought in the car. A very positive experience. read more

Jason is the best! It's hard to find and honest and accurate mechanic but that's what he has been for years towards my family and I! Thank you Jason! read more

From quote to work completion and payment, my experience with Kelley Automotive was more than I ever could have imagined. Not only is their pricing fair and their work great, but Jason went above and beyond to make sure that my car was taken care of. My car had to be towed into the shop for alternator repair and I knew from the beginning that the shop had cars ahead of mine. Expecting it to be done the following day, I was so surprised to get a phone call at 7:00 pm stating that my car was finished and I could pick it up that night. Not only did he stay late to finish up my car, but even offered to stay later to wait for me to come get it. I received nothing but courtesy both on the phone and in person. My car is running beautifully and I have Jason and Kelley Automotive to thank for it! I am forever grateful to their service and kindness :) read more

Absolute best prices I've found in Sacramento. Jason was great from start to finish and they got it done same day. I will be returning for my future repairs! read more

Been here five time or more and every time they've done a great job. Prices are great they don't lie to you telling you something is wrong that's not and they get you car in and out quickly. Thank you Kelley Automotive for your great customer service every time we go there. I highly recommend them if you need a mechanic. read more

I called around for a few quotes and decided to go with Jason because he had great Yelp reviews. As expected, great service!!! I was able to drop my van off the night before to ensure the all day job was completed in a day which was greatly appreciated! I'd highly recommend Kelley and appreciate the great service! read more

I'm a woman, I love cars however I have had some serious burns when it comes to car repairs. So when I found myself needing domestic mechanic in my neighborhood I was terrified. I just happened to pass the court that Kelley automotive was in. Saw Mark M.'s review, prayed and hoped for the best. Jason the Owner was friendly, direct, reasonably priced and fast. My car was diagnosed within an hour of having to towed and repaired by 8:30am the next morning. I didn't even miss a day of work. So If you're looking for an honest, straight shooting Domestic mechanic. Give Jason Kelley a call!! read more

I am counting my lucky stars that a friend referred me to Kelley Automotive when I was having trouble with my truck. Jason, the owner, works on the cars himself and does superior work. He is always easy to get in touch with to determine the status of the repairs. I am never left in the dark as to what is going on and when the work will be done. Best of all his rates can't be beat. This is a fantastic place to have your car worked on. read more

I had an appointment yesterday with Kelley Automotive for my old Chevy Silverado. I had checked out reviews on Yelp! and they were spot on. Jason, the owner, was knowledgeable and forthcoming with the issues my truck had and wanted to provide just what was needed. I thought I needed new rear brakes, and he said it wasn't needed at this time, and that he'd keep an eye on it. I appreciated that very much. He completed the oil change and fixed another issue we were having with the battery. He also works on the vehicles himself, which is really nice. Overall, I was impressed with the level of service and knowledge and definitely will be back. I am new to the area and had to find a more local shop, and I definitely found a good one. I will be back for sure, and would recommend this automotive repair shop to others as well! Cheers, Sue E. read more

I was very reluctant at first of having this shop change my engine in my 2005 Dodge Ram, but after talking to the owner there was no way I was taking it anywhere else. The vehicle now runs better than it ever did before and I got the chance to meet some Awesome, Caring, and Honest People! read more

Took my car in & got it back within the same day. Very good customer service, Jason makes sure to keep u up to date on what's going on with your car. He even showed me visually exactly what was causing my problems once I got there. Good customer service, good work & very pleased with the price . I will be bringing my car back here if I need anymore car help. read more

Jason is as fair as it gets. He worked for hours on an overheating issue but only charged me what he felt was "fair." There are no surprises, he tells you exactly what he is doing and gets it done. Great guy. read more

Great place to have your car worked on. This is the only place i let work on my car. Jason is very knowledgeable about cars.
