It
all started in April 1927. Gerald A. Kelleher
opened for business in his family’s small two-car
garage vulcanizing tires and recharging batteries.
On October 1, 1927, he found
it necessary to move the business to a bigger
location, 331 W. Market St.
In 1945 Jerry’s brother Larry became a partner.
In 1946, Jerry and Larry purchased the property
of their current location, 430 W. Market St. Jerry
retired in 1970, Larry passed away in 1978, leaving
the business to his three sons, Leo, Tom and Frank,
who currently operate it today. In 1986 the Kelleher
Brothers ventured into the used car business,
KT Auto Sales. The
two combined businesses, KT
Auto Sales and Kelleher Tire,
pride themselves on offering
new and used tires, state inspections, oil changes,
custom wheels, routine maintenance and quality
used cars and trucks.
Throughout customer research,
over 75 % of our business is repeat customers.
Being
a low-
pressure family business
is still very important to us today as it was
back in 1927. We pride ourselves on offering quality
cars, which are all backed with a warranty. Every
“Quality
Used Chariot” goes
through an extensive safety inspection before
it is ready for sale. Service is a very important
value to us, both before and after the point of
sale. Please look through our inventory at your
convenience and contact us with any question that
may arise.
