Testimonials

On 9/4/2024 Sharon Palmer had this to say:
I am traveling in a Skoolie and the check engine light came on and I was in Milford, NH. A person recommended Winkle Auto in Milford, that was on Labor Day. I sent Robert a message on facebook and he responded for me to call the next morning and I did reaching Gary. Talked to him and he said bring it in and they would check it out. After I got there I didn’t have to wait very long and it ended up being both end line O2sensors needing to be replaced. Steve did the work and checked all the fluids and aired up the tires. Gary, Robert and Steve are the nicest and most helpful and honest mechanic that I have ever seen. Thank you so much guys! I wish all people were like you.
