This place has horrible customer service. When I went in to have my car repaired they took twice as long as they quoted to finish the repair. They kept telling me they should have the service done soon and would not give me an better time frame on when it would be done. When they did finally get done with the repairs I could tell they hadn't put down any of the protective coverings on the floor mats because there was dirt and brown liquid all over them. There was also some sort of grease all of the steering wheel. This has been the worst experience I have ever encountered at a repair shop. I wouldn't recommend going there.

I have been using Winters Auto for years. The owner Ryan, is a fair honest man. His assistants are awesome as well. They will trouble shoot the problem and fix it only if it needs it. Great shop.

I've been going to Winters Automotive for years. The owners and the employees are very trustworthy, professional and honest. The mechanics and owner are very skilled and efficient, they don't try to upsell or sell you things you don't need. My car is always in and out of there very quickly. Prices are fair -- not just a scheduled maintenace shop. They are very good at transmission and engine repairs.

Had my Kia taken in because my engine broke down. Other shops had tried to sell me on parts and labor for this and that. After diagnostics Kevin at Winters let me know about Kia's extended warranty on engine damage. I took it in to the dealer and had my motor replaced under warranty. I appreciated the knowledge and honesty.

I brought my car here because my steering wheel wouldn’t turn. They decided it was due to my alternator and it was going to cost around $1000 to fix. I decided to take it docs garage to have it replaced because I heard they were much cheaper. Docs discovered that my alternator was completely fine and its actually my steering column that needs replaced. Not sure if they’re just really busy or if it’s incompetence/laziness buts It’s annoying that I paid $135 for an incorrect diagnosis that almost cost me $1000.

Hands down the best. Professional, excellant customer service and best mechanic work Ive ever had done. I forgot they was here and first went to a closer shop, big mistake! Hundreds of dollars later and still car stauling I found them online and called. Thankfully they got me in quickly and diagnosised the problem and called with an estimate. Repaired all in a half of a day and had me back on the road!.... Dont go with convenience, go with the best and get the best work at a great price for the safety of you and your family. Thank you from my family to yours Winter Automotive.

They fixed only what needed to be fixed and kept the price reasonable. They were my 2nd bid, while another place in Gardner wanted me to do too much and the bid was almost 3x what I paid at Winter's. Solid place, is now my go-to mechanic. Also helped when my wife's car died, had it towed here, fixed it quickly and fair price. Thank you!

I had Winters put a new(used) transmission in my car three years ago and was very pleased with the entire experience. They were very good with communicating and explaining my best options. Three years later and my car still runs great. Highly recommended!

I’m a bit upset. I took my car in to have my a/c looked at as it hasn’t been working. I requested they ask me before doing anything to the car while I was on the phone with them and I wrote it on drop off note. They went ahead and worked on the car regardless. They did not do any kind of courtesy call or message. It cost us a couple hundred dollars and did not fix the problem.

Automive shop known for their work and honesty. On each vehicle that goes through their shop is a computer readout on everything inspected from bumper to bumper..even if only getting a oil change. They only repair or replace parts after talking to customer and offer prices that are very fair. I will be going back for my other vehicle when it is time for an oil change or any other problem with it.

In this hectic world, having someone nice answer the phone was a relief. They were able to get my vehicle into the shop the same day and called me with the diagnosis, estimate, and a time when it would be fixed and ready to pick up. I will be using this shop again when needed!! Great job!!

I had taken my car to 2 other places before I brought my car to Winter's, as I live an hour away but work in Gardner/New Century. I told them what was going on with my car and that I had taken it to other places that said they didn't see anything wrong. But Winter's listened to me and confirmed my wheel bearings needed replaced. My car rides better and no noise now! Thank you, Ryan and Kevin, for actually listening to me!

Took my truck in for a transmission temp sensor. Done in 1 day when they got the parts. Kevin and the team at winters are outstanding. Highly recommend. Kevin is very upfront about pricing and informed me all the way through the process of my truck getting fixed. 10/10 experience.

They did a great job. Kevin was very helpful and fast. Fantastic mechanics, answered all my questions. Transmission replaced in three days. But then I drove to Overland Park and my shifter went out. They sent two mechanics to shift it manually into gear. which allowed me to take it to their shop and they fixed it. No additional charge fantastic customer service, I highly recommend them.

In a current world where most businesses are out to take advantage of you, Winters in my opinion is the total opposite. Excellent service!

I was recommended to this shop by a friend of mine. They are honest and will shoot you straight! Very friendly and don’t try to upsell. They take time to diagnose the issue and get the issue fixed. It’s tough to find a shop you can trust for your car repair needs but this is where I’m going from now on for my auto repair needs.

Kevin the office manager was honest about what needed to be done on my Van. Took in what I thought would be a seal leak for the transmission, they diagnosed the issue to be a oil cooler leak which is a cheaper issue than I thought. Even provided some insight on what is causing the issue. Appreciated their feedback. Will be going back in the future.

I think this is a first for me but I figured I would share. I had to have my vehicle towed to the shop. Found them online and read the reviews. I dealt with Ryan and he was awesome! Very polite & gave me the brass tacks. Ryan helped as much as he could. I have never solely dealt with someone strictly over the phone but our business has been satisfied but she's coming home until tax season.... Thank you.
