Alexander Tussing and Neil Farley, recognized by Steve Vachon on 6/30: Susan Burke said, “I had a tire blow out heading to work and thankfully my husband was able to change the tire on a busy state road and get the spare on. I then drove to Kelley Auto on Grand National Drive, Fort Wayne IN. They were able to work us in without an appointment and didn’t try to upsell us all four tires. We ended up purchasing four new tires by our own decision due to already having 52k on the original set. Thankfully when we purchased the vehicle in 2019, we bought the package with the tire protection. We bought 4 new tires for the price of 3. Very satisfied with Kelley Auto.” 5 stars, great job.

Andy Manor, recognized by Mike Nackers on 7/7: Daniel Meyer said “After my brand new 2025 HD had a breakdown I called the dealership that I bought the truck from, they were not willing to help me and treated me very rudely. I immediately reached out to the Kelley service center. They immediately sent out a tow truck and got me safely off the side of the road. As soon as they got my vehicle, they ran a diagnostics and very quickly diagnosed the issue as a bad oxygen sensor. Andy called me immediately and let me know that they had the part overnighted from Wisconsin. I didn’t even buy my truck from this dealership and they treated me as if I was their customer. They were prompt, helpful, and very organized. The only thing I regret is not buying my truck from them in the first place. They earned a lifetime customer. Thank you to Andy and Scott in the service department and also Deb who took my initial call and made sure I was safely off the road and my vehicle was picked up. Five stars is not enough.” in his latest 5-star review. Great job!
