Great shop with great people. They diagnosed and fixed my car issue in less than 24 hours. I definitely recommend Winter Auto for any and all car needs. Chris the owner was very honest and professional. Lisa answered all questions with vivid details. 5 out of 5.

Chris always does a thorough examination and looks to correct things before they become problems. Couldn't feel more comfortable and confident bringing our cars to WAR.

Very nice people, let me know of other issues with my car without trying to pressure me into fixing everything.

Just spoke to the rudest woman I've ever talked to. I wouldn't spend a dime here if it were the last shop around.

I had to have a speedometer calibration test done on my vehicle for a court related matter. They got me in quickly for an appointment and were absolutely amazing! I cannot thank them enough- HIGHLY recommend :)

Chris is a tremendous guy, a very knowledgeable mechanic, and an honest businessman. My only problem with the shop is his administrative assistant, a woman named Lisa. She is a miserable human being and a poor representative of the shop. I have no idea why Chris would employ such a person.

Like lots of other reviews you’ll read for Winter it all starts with Chris. He’s transparent and talks to you as a customer and friend. Certainly much different from other private garages and not even close to the dealers, who can’t wait to get you in and out without much ability to actually troubleshoot or diagnose. Additionally, his work is spot on and will help you maintain your car for years ahead.

I'm writing this review to warn people about this auto repair shop. We took our older Honda CRV in for an estimate on what we knew was a leak in a metal hose that runs from the radiator. Once in the shop, the mechanic started checking the car and said not only was that pipe leaking but there was also a leak in the radiator as well. Then started rattling off a few other things, the brakes, battery, and those 2 things my husband just changed a year ago or so. He charged my husband $150 for a diagnostic fee and was told it would be approx. a $1,500 job. My husband called the next morning and was told it's now $2,200 and they indicated there was only 1 metal hose he needed in the whole State?? We decided to get a second opinion and went back to our mechanic in Monmouth County we had used for years although out of the way. Turns out he was able to get the part that morning and no, that wasn't the only hose in the State. Not only that, but he replaced the hose, gaskets and did not see a leak in the radiator, all for $998!! Be warned people, this place is a ripoff and is basically scamming people. Karma

If you feel like mechanics can't be trusted, you haven't met Chris. Not only is he the most honest and trustworthy mechanic I've ever met, but he's just a good, caring person in general. He's also a good businessman and great mechanic. I've been a customer for years. Chris cares about people and quality work. He does the job right so it lasts and saves you money down the road. His staff is also wonderful. When you have questions, Lisa generously takes her time with you. Take your car here, and you'll have one less thing to worry about.

Quality work! I brought in my 2013 Ford Escape with 223,000 miles on it. It ran but sounded like it was falling apart. I dropped it off to have it looked at, Chris called and detailed what needed to be done. I wasn't surprised that it was extensive as I had done very little to the car. I had it back in a day. That was 3 months ago, and it basically runs like a new car. Looking forward to getting a few more years out of it, I highly recommend Chris and Winter Automotive

My wife and I were heading to NYC to celebrate my Mom's birthday when the alternator/battery light came on on our instrument panel. We decided to search for auto repair locations that were close by, The closest shop to us was a Pep Boys on Route 130. We pulled in there and they said they only had one technician and there were 4 people ahead of us and we would have to leave the car with them over night.Since that option was not a good one for us, we decided to continue north on 130 to the next closest shop which was Winter Auto Repair.The owner and the shop counter assistant was there and we explained our situation. Based on the description I gave them, they concluded the problem was likely a bad alternator.They immediately called their parts supplier, gave me a quote.Fortunately the shop mechanic was finishing up a job and they slipped us right in. To speed things up, the owner drove to pick up the alternator and in around an hour or so, we were back on the road.They were fast, super friendly and empathetic with our situation. We were very happy to find a place that was so efficient and friendly and was able to do the urgent work for a fair price.Our wait time flew by because of the friendliness we experienced at their shop.Services: Battery
