A few weeks ago I was passing through San Angelo on my way to work in Midland when my car broke down. They had me back on the road in no time! They are honest, reliable, and friendly! I definitely recommend this shop for those needing any repairs.

They are the worst car dealership ever and have rules I have never even heard of. They don't let you get a car from them unless you live on your own. Even if you have a roommate they still won't let you get a car from them they denied me a car just because my roommate didn't have a driver's license even though he's is not the one driving the car I am since it's going to be mine I need a car and they refuse to sell me a car just because my roommate don't have a driver's license. I do not recommend them to no one. If you want a good car with good people go to Samco Auto they are the best ever.

Genuinely good guy. I always go into mechanics ready to stand up for myself and waiting to sus out any BS, didn’t feel that from him at all. He had bad news about my car but was honest and upfront about everything that was going on and laid out my options, a couple of which involved him not even doing any work on it because that wasn’t the best option in this scenario. He isn’t just looking for a quick buck, seems like he really does want what’s best and gives you more than one option. Got referred from a friend and she had a similar experience. Would definitely come back again. Can’t find places like this everywhere.

Totally suggest going here. I thought I had a big problem when my car wouldn't start. It turned out to be just my battery needing to be recharged and they barely charged me any money to recharge it and check and make sure that nothing was draining it. I was very impressed. I didn't feel taken advantage of at all which really that's how everybody feels when they leave car places. I am very impressed and would recommend anybody to go to them

Completely professional and absolutely more than I expected. Not only did they warranty the work they did 10 months ago, they covered a problem they didn't cause, but touched. If I could give more than 5, I would. true blessing! I am appreciative of having my air conditioner back and ready for west Texas heat! Thank you!!

just another shop, I guess this is a positive review really about them actually following the rules I have no complain about that good job!! …. now the reason ill probably never be back is simple. I am upset that I have been bringing my vehicles for inspection here for about 10 years and this one in particular about 4 and this is the first year my truck did not pass inspection due to window tint being slightly too dark.... hey I get it 25% is the law no problem at all I don't mind just wish I knew it wasn't 25% and not 19% what that thing read assuming its calibrated & how has this passed for the last 4 years without an issue??? its just an inconvenience I know but its enough of an inconvenience to be annoying A warning would of been great. so trying to avoid any issues I ended up removing tint and well so on.

The staff there is great, but the owner is an bad apple. Please be careful doing business with him. I've been respectful to him and his staff and the staff was so respectful. When there was a problem with the vehicle I had been became verbally aggressive toward me. I stopped him several time and told I'm never been disrespectful to or your staff so please talking like that. He asked me to go with him to the back of the shop. I thought it was a bit odd but we went. When we got into the shop he began yelling at me and walking towards me. I feel like he was going to do something to me. I then asked him to stop, and said I've never disrespect or your staff some me respect. I really thought we was going to fight. But beside that his staff is really great. Good luck to you guys

Kelly is one of the last trustworthy mechanics in America. We got towed in after hours with a busted transmission while on a cross country road trip in our RV. He quickly had a new Jasper Transmission ordered, and was more than welcoming to us. It took several days for our parts to arrive, and he offered for us to stay in our camper on his property for free. He even let us connect to his electric to run our air conditioner. I watched the employees of Kelly’s Auto Shop for a week, and they were absolutely always the pinnacle of professional and kind. Bryon is an extremely knowledgeable expert in auto repair, and could diagnose problems immediately and have them fixed in quick order. Kyle is a by-the-book perfectionist who treated every vehicle as if it was his own. He’s young and smart, and a fantastic person. Kelly (the owner) is a great “old style” mechanic. He’s worked on every kind of vehicle and seen every type of problem. He’s well versed in cars and also isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and fix something when it needs fixing. Kelly and his entire crew are great people, and you’d be foolish to use any other repair shop in town. These guys are legends.

Kelly, Brian, Kyle, and the rest of the team are incredible. In addition to being skilled mechanics and having fair prices, they are good people. The water pump in my car went out a day before I was supposed to move to Colorado. I took it in and explained my situation, and Kelly and his team bent over backwards to make sure I was good to make the cross-country drive. I cannot recommend them enough.

One of San Angelo's hidden gems! I had to have my vehicle repaired, and having used Kelly's twice before for inspections, I figured I'd give them a chance. Wow! Super professional all the way through the process. The receptionists are super helpful. The mechanics called and explained what was wrong and gave an estimate on parts and labor. I was pleasanty surprised at the quote AND the fact that the final bill was $50 less than the quote! I highly recommend these guys. You just get a really good vibe and a sense of trust right off the bat! I will be going back for some more maintenance work for my car.

Kelly and his team are awesome. While passing through town my truck decided it didn't want to start up after stopping for lunch. Kelly had the truck diagnosed, parts ordered, delivered, repaired, and back on the road in about 4 hours. He thoroughly explained the issue and his mechanic walked me through the work done. Highly recommend his services to anyone in the San Angelo area. Great people doing great work.

My left tire pressure sensor was going out on my 2013 malibu. Since my car is out of warranty, naturally I was concerned the repair cost would be outrageous. I've used Kelly for auto inspection only, but his shop is near where I live and the Google reviews were very good. Kelly told me the cost, including labor to replace the sensor. But, he told me if one is going, the others are usually not far behind. He told me the parts he would be using were GM parts. His final cost for replacing all 4 tire pressure sensors, including labor, was more than reasonable and fair. The first place I've ever seen were the labor was LESS than the parts. Everywhere else is the opposite. And, it was finished before the end of the day. I highly recommend Kelly's because he explains everything and is more than fair and reasonable.

When Kelly signed on to put a new motor in my (new-to-me but pretty old) truck, we had no idea it was going to turn into such a big project. He was very thorough and found a lot of things that the previous owner had rigged up, which he went ahead and fixed because they were going to be an issue down the road - safety risks and just general headaches. He was very honest, worked out a lot of issues in a reasonable amount of time, and was surprisingly fair on the price! We have used him for repairs on several vehicles and would absolutely recommend him. Reliable, thorough, and very knowledgeable!

Kelly is an excellent mechanic and always goes above and beyond to repair my vehicles in a timely manner all while helping me stay within budget. He works with me to address issues that need fixed, while not costing me an arm and a leg to just keep piling on repairs for his gain. Excellent service. I always recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Kelly is very good at what he does. I brought in an old ford that needed alot of work. Him and his team got all the issues fixed at a reasonable price. He is very busy, so you will have to wait in line to get your vehicle worked on. I'm happy with the work they did.

My truck was running rough and I thought it was my transmission slipping. As it turns out I just needed a tuneup. Same day turnaround at a reasonable price. I drove away very satisfied.

My family and I were traveling on our way back to Montana and our car was heating up and basically left us stranded. We found Kelly's place that was a few minutes where we got stranded and drove there carefully. As soon as we got there Kelly checked our car and told us it was a bad water pump. He got to work on it and was done very quickly. Thank you Kelly and his team for helping us out. We made it to Montana ☺️
