Christopher’s Auto Repair Service

I live about 20 minutes away from Winthrop and I still make the trip to Christopher’s for any problems with my car, no matter how big or small. My family and I have been coming here for years. Chris is an awesome, honest guy. He gets he work done when he says he will, and if something else comes up such as a part not coming in, or he runs into something else with the car he always calls to let you know why ahead of time. My car is 20 years old and I’ve been in a few car accidents so I have had to see him a handful of times over the past couple of years. Thankfully, so far whenever I have had to have any problem fixed my car is in and out of the shop in a day or two and *knock on wood* has not needed to be fixed again. His prices are very fair especially considering how quickly the turn around is, he’s not the type of guy that would rip anyone off. He is always honest with me, telling me if he thinks something with my car can wait to be fixed or if it needs immediate attention.
Chris is the guy to see about any problems you have with your car!

Very honest, repairs are done in a timely fashion and they will tell you if they can’t get it done quick if they are waiting for parts or they are extremely busy. Reasonably priced even for the smallest repairs. Highly recommended.

I went there on a recommendation from a Viking Taxi cab driver last year when I was having a TON of problems with my Jetta. I was new to the area, and looking for a mechanic right by my house.
I called ahead, and dropped off my car around 8 AM (right when they opened) — explaining the problem (my automatic transmission wasn’t working so well — it didn’t change gears fast enough when I was going down the highway). The mechanic assured me that he would assess it and give me a call around noon to let me know what the problem was and the price estimate to fix it. 12PM came and went. At 2PM I finally called him — and he said he hadn’t gotten around to even looking at the car, but that he would in «just a minute» and to just come by around 4PM and he’d tell me what needed to be done.
So, I lost an entire day of work, and headed down to get the damage report. The mechanic then proceeded to tell me that my engine was «shot» and that I had to replace the entire engine, quoting me an estimate of about $ 5,000 or something equally crazy.
I took my car keys and RAN. And took it to another mechanic who fixed a misfiring sensor for $ 200 within the hour. My engine’s fine. I almost got robbed by this place.
Go somewhere else!
