I called for app't on headlight. Told estimated price. No app't necessary just bring in any time. Took SUV in, they took vehicle right away to replace light. I also asked about oil change service I was told they could do at same time. I had both done quickly, efficiently and at price quoted. Ever one was very professional and present. Owner can over and thanked me for letting me service my vehicle. I will definitely take my vehicles there in future.

We had asked for them to fix a few other things that were inop for me, but when taken to the shop they were working and while I don’t know why the mirror & brake lights did not work one day and did the next I’m glad that the mechanics were honest about us not needing the work done. With regard to the work that was actually done, they fixed the problem that another company failed twice to fix.

I moved here in June, and I frantically looked for a reliable mechanic for my 11 year old Trailblazer. I found just such a person here! They are so thorough, and will recommend only things you need. The place is busy for a reason! Once they kept my husband's car for 2 days trying to track down the problem. They really want to get it right instead of guesswork. Great place. I will go there forever.

I followed Terry's recommendation and got the local Ford dealer service manager to agree to the repairs. Obviously, Terry went out of his way to get my repairs done at a fraction of what I would have had to have paid him or someone else to do the repairs. I stopped by Terry's shop the day of the repairs and thanked him for his advice... I also assured him that he would be our mechanic of choice for any future service and repairs. Kudo's to Terry Wynter!
Description of Work: While having the oil changed on my Ford F150 pickup, the serviceman noticed leaks from the front struts. He gave me a fairly expensive estimate for the repairs needed. I checked Angie's list for an alternative service shop and found Terry Wynter Auto Service. I called Terry's shop and got an estimate for the repairs, which was cheaper than the oil change garage. Terry personally got on the phone and asked if I had talked with Ford about covering the repairs under warranty, since the mileage on the truck was quite low. Terry even called Ford to inquire about them making the repairs, even though the warranty had expired a few weeks earlier. He advised me on how to address the issue with the local Ford dealership.

Called the service center and spoke with Terry. He explained to me via telephone the cost of the repair and approximate cost. He said I could bring it in immediately and his service department would accomodate me immediately. Upon my arrival I was pleasantly greeted by Terry and he informed me that a bay was open based on my arrival. After beginning the job, he came out to the very clean waiting room and informed me that there was another belt that needed replaced and showed me the other belt witha similar problem. This service center is very efficient and professional and being new to the area I certainly will be using him again in the future for both of my vehicles. I highly recommend this facility.

I was very pleased and excited that I have found a person and staff that can treat you very well and explain the technology so that you can experience it. No pressure, open estimates and a real caring attitude. Always backed up his opinions with protection for the customer and a willingness to financially back up his decisions and work if needed. I was transported to my residence and called when the car was ready and picked up again and transported to the shop. .Visually inspected the job with the owner and tech. Insured that if there are any other problems that they would be there for me.
Description of Work: Terry Wynter was recommended to me by AAA that gave me a jump in my car. I found Terry to be very open and honest and a caring individual that went out of his way to make sure that I was satisfied. Diagnosed the problem efficiently and in a timely manner as a defective alternator. He checked the battery and determined that is was still OK and not damaged. He told me that if I had a problem with the battery in the next month that he would take care of it. His analysis was correct and y charging system and battery have been working fine. Overall time in the shop was 2 hours and that included getting parts and repair. I also had issues with my suspension and steering system and they uncovered a major defect that could have been very dangerous. he took me into the shop and pointed out that the previous shop that replace ball joints and rods, installed them incorrectly and drilled a pin hole in the holder and pinned it. The pin broke and the ball joint came loose. He tried to find parts locally and finally located them in Georgia. Flew them in overnight. He completely corrected a very dangerous situation. This job took a day and a half and was very gracious, game me a ride home and picked me up when it was done. We also discussed his ability for car rental if needed and it was not. Cost of this job was 1000.00. Very pleased with their service and knowledge.

Pricing is very good. They did agood job. One service that he does is that, he will drive you to your work place and then pick you up in the evening, so it is ideal when I went to work. The punctuality is excellent. He also tells you upfront how much is going to be. He does not screw you and very down to earth. He is very knowledgeable.

We had been nursing a bad ball joint on our 2000 Mustang for months. A visit to Tuffy yielded an estimate of over $900. We took our car back and “got by” with a little WD40. That quieted the squeaking noise for a while (not recommended!). The day finally came when we had to get it done. We found Terry Wynter on Angies List. He offered to drive us home and I said I had an old 1978 T-Bird I could follow my wife in and return in later to get the Mustang. Wouldn't you know it, almost to Terrys’ shop I blew the radiator on the T-Bird. Terry sent a tow truck and paid for a rental for us to drive for a day. That is all we needed because both cars were done in less than 24 hours. The Mustang got out for $573.38 that is lower ball joints and an alignment. That seems very reasonable. Especially when you look at what Tuffy wanted for the same job (over $900). When the T-Bird radiator blew I was struck by how rusty the water was. I knew I might be looking at the original radiator (the car is well preserved but almost all of the parts are original.) The T-Bird was a little more at $1493.98. That covered a complete cooling system flush (remember the rusty radiator water), new anti-freeze coolant, a new radiator, 4 new belts (I have the old ones, they were 34 years old without a doubt), new thermostat and gasket AND they converted my old, non-functioning, Air Conditioning over to accept the new 134A Freon and charged up the system. Parts included: AC retro fit fitting, AC ester oil, Freon – 134A. The air works! I have been to auto parts stores and told “that is too old. Our computers don’t go back that far.” It is rare to find a shop that would even touch a 34 year old car. My sincere thanks to Terry Wynter, Jim, Steve, Jeff and the whole crew at TERRY WYNTER AUTO SERVICE CENTER!
Description of Work: 1. Ball joints and alignment on 2000 Mustang, 2. Air conditioning retro fit to 134-A, A/C pressure check and recharged, flush cooling system, new radiator, 4 new drive belts, new thermostat on 1978 Thunderbird.

I called for a price and to make an appt but they got me right in. They were quick, very accomidating when it came to making my wait comfortable, and friendly. Everything was explained in detail and I paid exactly what they had stated I would be charged. I plan on using them for all my car repairs from here on out.
Description of Work: I had the "dealer quoted as expensive"brakes replaced on my large SUV, complete with tire rotation, brake check on the rear, resurfacing of the rotors, and greasing of the joints. It was my first visit with them after finding them here on Angie's List.

We took our truck to Terry Wynter's in September for what we thought were semi-routine repairs. It turned out to be rather complicated (several issues), and cost us $3300. (They did suggest joining AAA to get a discount, which was helpful). After a couple weeks, my husband was still having trouble, so they promptly got his vehicle in. They then told us that they found something entirely new, and it cost another $800. Seemed odd that they never noticed these issues during the prior repair. About two months later, my husband blew a brake line and we took it in. They redid calipers and the whole nine yards and it cost about $500. We took the truck home, and two weeks later...we still had a brake issue. They promptly got it back in, and told us we needed new brake pads and new rotors, and it would be another $400 (and they'd give us the rear work for free). That's the straw that broke the camel's back. If they supposedly did all that brake work, then why wouldn't they have noticed the pads and rotors? We had just had our pads changed about 18months ago at Tires Choice, so we called them back up. We let that vendor look at the issue. The pads were replaced for free (as they were under warranty), and they were able to just TURN the rotors. We walked out for about $150. My perception is that we were taken to the cleaners by Terry Wynter. They are helpful and friendly, but either they're not as competent as I'd hoped, or not as honest about the work being done. Really disappointing.

We are very sorry to hear about your issues with services performed by our shop on your 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. We understand your frustrations and this vehicle has unfortunately faced you with a string of major repairs along with routine maintenance items in a five month period. Concerning your second visit, this was related to a new symptom and the vehicle had been driven 1100 miles over a two month period. This is inconvenient for you; however, there is no way for us to accurately predict future failures. Concerning the third visit when you requested us to repair a brake line, our priority was to address the failure which was the cause for your visit. We agree with you in that the rotors and brake pads that were recommended on your next visit should have been brought to your attention at that time since we were working in that area. In speaking to our technician after we were aware of your concerns, he mentioned that he did observe irregularities on the rotors and he made an effort to correct potential problems by sanding the areas. Our mistake was that we did not communicate our observation to you and give you the opportunity to make a decision to either see if the results were satisfactory or receive permission to go ahead with a repair at that time. After the brake lines were repaired, there was not a safety issue with your brakes. In the auto repair business, everything is not always black and white…many times there is judgment call, budget and expectations to consider prior to suggesting or approving repairs. In hindsight, we are glad that you did not have the additional brake work done here...we had no idea that a significant portion was under warranty at another shop. We have been in touch with your husband by phone to discuss in further detail. Our sincere hope is that we can again earn your confidence in our service.

Great experience overall. One of the best experiences that I ever had with a auto repair shop. They showed me issues and what needed to be done to resolve. They could have told me other things needed done but were honest and told me that the problems wouldn't be an issue for some time. I now feel I have a go to guy with Terry for all my auto repair needs. I highly recommend!

After checking at Sears they sent me to Terry Wynters and he replaced my read wheel bearings. They did a good job at a reasonable price
Description of Work: The back wheels started making a noise. It sounded like a rock in a tire or something but it kept getting worse. I took my car in to Sears automotive and they said they were concerned that it could be a problem with the all wheel drive system and suggested I take my care to Terry Wynter's so they could look at it. I did and he found the rear wheel bearings were bad and needed to be replaced. He performed the job that day it my car runs great. I thank them for such professional and speedy work.

I had a big trip planned. While I spent more than anyone ever wants to, I felt (and always have) that Jimmy and the guys at Terry Wynter really care about my safety. They bent over backwards to get me to and from work on time, and the work only took a single day. As a female, that they treat me with respect means the world.
Description of Work: Glad I didn't ignore the "Check Engine Light", as a couple of big-ticket engine items were dying. They replaced the mass airflow sensor, flushed the coolant system, and a couple of little things like an oil change.

I always get good service when I take my car into Terry's. I don't remember what needed to be done, but it had to be done. I have an older car and Terry tries to do the minimum to keep the car safe and keep me going until I buy a new car. They always give good service. They are always friendly and glad to see you. It is a homey atmosphere. They have worked me in every time I have shown up without an appointment. They are very attentive to whatever I need. I definitely recommend them.

Got quote over the phone for a starter in a Toyota. Told him Toyota dealership experience and how much time (1.5 hours) they said it would take to install. He beat their price....and put it in that morning. They gave me a ride to work and picked me up. Starter made a horrible sound when I started my car, they had to put a new starter in the next day as they said that one was defective. They gave me a lifetime warrant on the starter (Delco parts). I willl definitely recommend them and will be using them again. Very courteous and competetively priced work.

They come out and explain everything to me before they do any work. The last time I came I said there was a noise. He hopped in the car with me and we drove around for 20 minutes. He never heard the noise, but it was amazing to me that he did that! Everyone who works there is very nice to me. I have noticed when I'm waiting that there are a lot of women that come in for service, so that leads me to believe that other people that don't know much about automotive service enjoy going there. They give free rides to your work or home if needed.
