I towed my Toyota Prius here because I was told they specialize in hybrids. They told me that my car would decelerate and not turn on because of the spark plugs and coils. ok fine I got them replaced at a little over $1100. I went to the bank and got a loan for this. I believed Bill when he said that my car would run and that replacing the spark plugs and coils was the issue. My car broke down again after four days. Did Kelly Imports take responsibility for not fixing the problem? no of course not. Now it was the water pump. Which they warned me about last time but "I refused to fix". this is their response when I questioned them about the car breaking down the same way and if I am getting a discount for them not fixing it the first time. The car broke down the same way it did last time and you are telling me it's something new?! I decided to refuse service here and tow my car to a new mechanic. I would rather pay the tow cost than let them charge me for another unnecessary fix. When I called to make sure I didn't owe them anything so I could tow it to a new mechanic Bill was like "I was going to offer you $150 off".$150 off $1400?! when you didn't fix the issue I presented you with?! I was told this was the only place that worked on hybrids in the Jackson area. I am so glad that isn't true. read more

I won't take my car anywhere else but Kelly Imports. I recommend them all of the time. Bill & the rest of the service staff are always professional. They explain issues with the vehicle clearly and provide print-outs of everything that was looked at in the vehicle. They are extremely thorough, fair in price and do a great job! I trust Kelly Imports with my vehicle 100%! read more

Kelly Imports still has not resolved the issue with my VW Passat. Kelly does not want to address the failed component that resulted in the engine failure. Kelly Imports also refused to show where they purchased the replace the timing belt components. Be aware Kelly will only do a routine service but if something turns out wrong will not stand by their service and protect the distributor of the components used in the repair. Makes you wonder if Kelly Imports actually replaced all the components stated on the invoice. If it is more than filling the air in your tires, do not trust that Kelly Imports will provide the service you are seeking or even stand behind any repairs they perform. read more

I would not recommend taking a vehicle to this facility. Employees seems friendly but certainly a racket. Took my vehicle here and was ask about a repair and was told if it could be fixed for $300 would I approve the repair. I wasn't told they would charge me $300 for a diagnostic without a repair. Beware of this unethical business. read more

Brought in my 2008 Mercedes C-class that needed some love. They were super friendly, great communicators and did what they said. No pressure help and they showed me the items that needed replacement. These guys know their stuff and I highly recommend taking your cars here. read more

My 97 Volvo a year ago had a problem with its battery and a code. The battery was less than six months old and Kelly said it was dead. Some $500 and six weeks later I got my car back. A year later it was the same problem I had AAA come over to jump me and they said the battery was dead. So I take it back to Kelly and they said if it was the battery all it would cost was putting in a new one. They ran the tests and said the battery was not bad and then turned around and charged me $108 for a simple charge and running the same tests. I now wonder if the old battery was just needing a charge. RUN DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS REPAIR SHOP. i have owned various Mercedes, Volvos and SAAB's so foreign car repair is no stranger to me. But, a charge on a battery that was clear under the hood and then charging over a hundred dollars is a rip off plain and simple read more

Never again my Mercedes SLK 230 had more problems after they worked on it than when I took it in for motor mounts. Took it back didn't even want to look at it. read more

I Just want to give a shout out to Bill and the service crew at Kelly Imports. I've been to other repair facilities in the area and these guys are by far the most knowledgeable and professional. I strongly recommend them and will not take my Mercedes anywhere else! read more

Kelly Imports is the BEST place to take your vehicle in Jackson, Mi! ESPECIALLY if you have a foreign or luxury car since they're aren't any Volvo, Mercedes, Audi, Volkwagen, etc, dealers in town. They're honest and informative about immediate concerns and future maintenance. They will help prioritize cost and analyze future concerns. They go above and beyond to make sure every detail is covered. I'm so grateful to have such experienced and honest technicians right in our back yard. Kelly's save me a trip to the Volvo dealership and their work is just as good. Added bonus: a super friendly and informative staff who actually make you feel appreciated!! Totally beats dealing with the dealership for out-of warranty repairs or general maintenance! read more

I took my wife's Subaru to them for head gasket replacement. They failed to remove the stopper pin from the timing belt tensioner when they did the work and returned the vehicle to us. We returned the vehicle on three separate occasions, twice leaving it with them for an entire day, in order for them to discover and solve the problem. Ultimately, they tried to deceive my wife by telling her that the problem was related to a different part of the engine. We had to take them to court and, in the process, discovered the stopper pin, a loose and damaged timing belt, incorrect timing due to "jumped" timing of a loose timing belt, and lack of cylinder integrity indicative of a bent valve. Throughout the litigation process, the owner Kelly Osborne and his mechanic made sever false and misleading statements in an attempt to prevent us from achieving resolution through the courts. In consulting with lawyers, I learned of two local attorneys who had similar interaction- they have a problem after service, return the vehicle, and then are told essentially, "Unfortunate coincidence, bye." I have also had several instances of people telling me or contacting me via email about their similar bad experiences with Kelly Imports. If you're just getting your oil changed, that may be alright. But if you have major service work done and something goes wrong, they WILL NOT honor the 90 day warranty on your contract. read more

TL;DR they charged me over 1,200 for an unneeded repair, will not refund a dime. My MINI cooper S received 'service' from Kelly Imports the first week of September, 2014. I brought it in for overheating after I found that my Serpentine belt was not spinning. I requested they look into the crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer) as this is a well known situation with this particular model of car. Kelly imports diagnosed the issue wrong, saying that it was the AC compressor 'locked up' and the clutch on the compressor was 'spitting metal shavings' everywhere. This caused me to replace my AC compressor in the amount of 1,224.99 . When this 'repair' was done, I got a call to say that there was another problem, the harmonic balancer. This turned out to be the real cause of the issue. I had the old AC compressor checked by a third party and it was found to be non-defective. When we picked up the car we had the manager sign to attest that he would refund the AC compressor portion of the bill if a third party found it to not be defective. He will not stand by that agreement. I have filed complaints with everyone that I can. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

I have taken my car to multiple places however Kelly's is by far the best that I have selected. I had a nagging engine light that no one could solve and they did. Their attention to customer service is top notch and is better than anyplace else that I have visited. read more
