For more than four decades, one family in Santa Ana has been putting Orange County drivers back on the road — safely, honestly and to factory standard. This is the story of Kelly's Body Shop.
Est. 1979
Kelly's Body Shop was founded in 1979 on a simple idea: treat every customer's car the way you'd want your own family's car treated. From a single shop on South Main Street in Santa Ana, the Kelly family built a collision-repair business on honest estimates, quality workmanship and a handshake you could trust.
More than 46 years later, that same family — now three generations deep — still runs the shop. Along the way we've served over 30,000 Orange County drivers, from first-time fender-benders to lifelong customers who won't take their car anywhere else.
As cars changed, we changed with them. Modern vehicles are built from high-strength steels, aluminum and advanced driver-assist systems, so we invested in the training, tooling and manufacturer certifications required to repair them correctly — including I-CAR Gold Class, ASE and OEM certification. The name on the building hasn't changed, and neither has the promise behind it.
