Thank you! Kelley's Automotive and Diesel Repair! I own and LOVE my 2002 Diesel F250/Ford Heavy Duty Truck. With this vehicle being older, repairs are to be expected. I was losing power and only able to go 30 mph! I went to two different repair shops...one of them was a Ford dealership. No one could figure out my problem. At that point, I had paid out over $2,000 and still no fix to the problem as these companies charged to check or said this should work. Inserted a part and no luck. YIKES. I was referred to Kelley's on a day that I sat in a parking lot stranded in my disabled truck waiting for a AAA tow back to the dealership. YUCK. The person asked if I needed help and then said, "Take your truck to Kelley's. They can fix anything!" "They are honest and reasonably priced." Boy was that person correct! Kelley's had my truck repaired and back on the road and then the next week pulling a heavy-duty trailer all the way to Minnesota. I am so grateful for the fair, sensible and talented staff at Kelley's Automotive and Diesel Repair.
