Kelso Auto Repair

Ray said he has been going to the business for 35 years and he is still very happy with the service.

I had some issues with someone “fixing” my car for me, I finally took it in to lil car hospital and from the first phone call until I picked up my car they were all amazingly nice and understanding. I never felt talk down to or like I was being taken advantage of. They explained every single charge without me asking and gave me a very fair deal, and my car is back the way it used to be which makes me incredibly happy!

These folks always give it to you straight, and no surprises and no upselling. I know they will do exactly what they promise, and the work quality is first rate.

My family and I were traveling from Port Angeles, WA to Salem, OR pulling our travel trailer. All of a sudden, while traveling on I5 our diesel truck showed low fuel and the service engine light turned on. We immediately took an exit that showed Chevron Diesel. We knew it just said 3/4 of a tank left, but thought maybe there's a leak and we need to check it out. Well, Chevron didn't even have fuel so I just turned at the stop light and pulled over. I went about checking things to see what could be the problem. When I couldn't figure it out I looked over and saw the sign Bob's Lil Car Hospital? staring back at me. God led me to park right next to them and I had no idea. They were very helpful from beginning to end. Offered to give me a ride to the nearest gas station as their diesel mechanic was at lunch to run the check engine light code. When mechanic was off lunch he was very helpful along with others that confirmed what he thought. It wasn't anything that required immediate attention. They gave me advice on what to do and how to monitor until we returned to home to CA from our 2 week trip up and down the coast. They were very cordial and more than delighted that all was okay and we could continue on our trip. If I lived close to them, they would be getting my business from here on out. They are awesome to work with and most importantly trustworthy. Two very important things when it comes to a mechanic shop. Thank you all for you help. We made it home safely and it is very much thanks to all of you.
