Fantastic, Jim is honest and trustworthy. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Reminds me of the old trustworthy and honest mechanics we used to have. He is really cares.

I've been getting my cars serviced here for about 5 years now and have found the value and service provided second to none. The owner Jim is very knowledgeable, is always consultative and above all trustworthy. I have never had a bad experience and will keep coming back. He can handle any type of consumer vehicle make or model and is a much better alternative than the branded mechanics. Lol the place does look a bit dodgy from the street (mentioned in another review here) but don't let looks deceive. You won't be disappointed with Winifred service center.

We actually used to take our old 4WD here for repairs when it was owned by the previous mechanic several years ago. He retired and now Winifred has been taken over by mechanic, Jim. We were hesitant about going back to Winifred's because the previous mechanic had set such a high standard we thought we had just been lucky to find such an honest, fair and diligent mechanic.
Well we needed our new car serviced after it was out of warranty so we took a chance. Not disappointed at all. Did a great job at a fair price and he is also very respectful to women - a really decent guy. We now travel from the city to take our car to Winifred's.

Approximate cost: $245

This mechanic is located only down the street from us but we've never though to go here before until our 4wd was practically undrivable and we could only limp the car to here.
This is the sort of place you wouldn't think to go to.
The sign up above the garage is dirty, dusty and the name of the business isn't catchy. The mechanic has his well worn old overalls on and there's his border collie you usually find sniffing around out the front.
Like I said, we had no choice as our car wasn't drivable really so we had to go to Winifred's and my partner and I were a little worried about what kind of work this guy does and how much it's going to cost.
We had our rear wheel bearings replaced by another mechanic 8 months ago (see my other review) and the car never came back quite fixed.
Glad to say that we're more than happy with the work Winifred's has done an grateful we didn't get skinned money-wise either.
In fact, after having it serviced by another mechanic for the past 3 years (again, refer to other review) our car has never in that time come back driving like a new car until now that we've taken it to Winifred's.
It was about 4 weeks ago Winifred fixed up our issue with the wheel bearing and serviced our car. Winced then we've driven it to snowfields every weekend and been very confident that everything is running good.
Naturally, we all judge a business by the way they present themselves to us. I'm really glad that we were forced to use this mechanic because he really seems like a good bloke doin honest work.
All you want is that from a mechanic. Good, honest work for a fair price.
(It's also a nice touch that he cares for his dog and brings him to work everyday).

Approximate cost: $Seems very reasonable
