Today we have decided not to work with Kellys Automotive in Manteo any longer. I had 3 vehicles with them and they have been doing the maintenance on my company vehicles. 3 of my vehicles have been in their yard for weeks with no parts ordered and nothing started to repair. These vehicles are company vehicles and very important that they be repaired in a responible amount of time. This morning i had a 4th vehicle go down and dropped it off at Kelly's. I waited around for someone to show up as they open at 8am. Kelly showed up and i began to tell him what was wrong with the 4th vehicle. I then started to ask when the other vehicles were going to be completed as i needed them to do work. He stated it will be several weeks before he could even look at them. Now remember they have already been sitting onsite for several weeks at this time. So i mentioned if he still wanted to do my work. At this time Kelly blow up and started cussing at me and screaming to get my sh@# out of his car lot. He charged me $1,000.00 to tear down a truck that i drove into his shop that i now have to pay to have towed off his lot. 1 of my vans gas tanks was crushed from when he put it on the lift wrong and doesnt want to take responiblity for it. He said he replaced the motor mounts on one of my other vans which is a lie as they have not been replaced, but i paid him for this. I paid him to fix the fan on one of my vans and it still does not work. I will be taken Kelly to court once i get all this information together and find out everything he was supposed to fix and didnt. read more

We are from out of town and seniors. Our car showed low tires. We are unable to diagnose or fix this issue. We found this business and they were so helpful and honest. Please bring your auto repairs needs to them read more

I always thought it was a good place to buy a car from...i guess i was wrong. My mom just got a car from there like 6 months ago...last Sunday the motor blows. Now i know things happen but they werent even willing to try and help her at all. Told her they dont tow. Ok, fine. Havent heard back since. Not even willing to come check it out to see if anything can be done. Now she's gotta pay for a motor and pay to have it put in. Like i knew used car salesmen had a bad rap but dang. I feel like she got played and they dont care. Oh well..still gonna get paid. Right? read more

I recently did business with Kelly's. They are very professional and prompt. I had a trade and was given a fair price. Highly recommended for first class service for all of your used car and auto needs in and around the OBX. Thank you Kelly for making our experience great! :) read more

Kelly's Automotive of Manteo, NC is the GREATEST! Kelly and Jim came to our aid when our car had a disabling issue. They were FANTASTIC!!! It was a holiday weekend & they were getting ready to close at the end of the day. We were visiting from WAY out of town and they drove to our location and FIXED the problem; so INCREDIBLY FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL, DEPENDABLE & TRUSTWORTHY!...If they hadn't come to our aid (at the end of their shift), we would have been stuck there without a working vehicle; they literally rescued us!...I'm a retired Police Sergeant & my wife, a retired RN. I've met many different people over the years and I can say that these fine people at Kelly's Automotive are simply THE BEST! Because of their actions, they quickly turned our potentially disastrous situation into a truly wonderful experience. We will never forget the tremendous kindness that Kelly and Jim extended to us. They just don't get any better!...If you are a potential customer reading this, I would VERY STRONGLY recommend Kelly's Automotive! read more
