Winkler Automotive Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary

Reliable & Honest Service Are The Cornerstones Of Its Success

When George Winkler opened the doors of his automotive repair shop in Gaithersburg in 1982, his goals were simple and modest:

• To provide a local business where customers could take their vehicles for servicing and repairs rather than an expensive dealer;
• Where customers knew they would be treated fairly and honestly, and;
• Where customers were provided the highest quality and quickest service.

Mission accomplished.

Now 30 years later, Winkler Automotive has not wavered in its original goals, and has become the area's premier independent auto servicing center for good reason.

"We're so grateful and humbled to be standing here 30 years later," said Winkler, who personally deals with every customer. "Our goal has always to provide the ultimate in not just customer service, but customer convenience, and we feel very good about our track record."

Indeed, Winkler Automotive strives to be a one-stop shop for all auto service needs. Among the Winkler priorities, in addition to those above:

• Best Service - All technicians exceed rigorous standards to be ASE certified.
• Fast Service - Same day turnaround is always the goal
• No Surprises - All prices must be approved by the customer before any work is done.
• Honest - We do only the work necessary.
• On-Site Owner - Personal service on every visit from owner George Winkler, or one of his two long-time service writers, Dave King or Phil Iaconis.
• Convenient - Free courtesy rides.
• Extended Warranty Work - Encouraged and accepted.
• 100% Customer Satisfaction - THE most important goal!

"We've always put ourselves in the customer's shoes," added Winkler. "People trust us, and in this business, that's most important."
