About the clinic
A locally owned Bellingham repair shop built on one simple idea: treat every car — and every customer — honestly.
Three decades of honest, reliable auto repair
Dr. John's Auto Clinic has been keeping Bellingham and Whatcom County on the road for more than 30 years. Some of our customers have been with us for over two decades — and now bring their kids’ cars, too.
Owner Brian Kelly runs the shop the way he’d want his own family treated: careful diagnosis, a clear explanation of what your car needs, and a fair price for work done right the first time. Our technicians invest in ongoing training and, as an iATN sponsor shop, tap into a network of more than 80,000 automotive professionals when a problem gets tricky.
