This was my 3rd time of choosing Joe's Auto &Tire when needing attention for my vehicle. I ask alot of questions and like things explained to me so that I understand what is wrong or what is needed. The service is great in communication. I have never felt any questions weren't good ones, any of the 3 times of service. I like that preventative care options are part of diagnostics and discussed. Always presenting in order of importance for this care. I had brought my vehicle in for battery charge issue and noise in the front end. The battery drain was simply a charger I had installed for my phone. It drew charge constantly, draining my battery. The noise was needing front breaks. Preventative care of new brake fluid also made sense. Joe's Auto goes above the standard service with maintenance that helps keep your vehicle repairs less costly down the road. Ty for great service and friendly atmosphere.

Joe's Auto was very helpful getting my daughter's car in to have a window motor replaced when her window was stuck partially down in the middle of a snow event. They took it in that same day to get it out of the weather until they could fix it. They were very responsive and kept me up to date on the progress. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing service in Winona.

Usually, I am too busy to leave reviews, but these guys deserve one! Didn’t go to Joe’s by choice, but I am happy we found them. I broke down on a drive from lacrosse to Twin Cities and just happen to be near their shop when it happened. Ironically, there was a shop up the street that we hit first on the way to Joe’s (I won’t mention names )but the mechanic gave me an outlandish diagnosis by peeking at it quickly, but it was clear to me. He just didn’t want to tackle my issue! I am not a mechanic, but very mechanical and know the repair would have been a pain in the butt, but Joe’s still took it on and did it at a very reasonable price. This happened late in the day when they were nearing closing time, but John stayed past closing time until a ride of ours came to retrieve us. They did the repair on the following day and in a very timely manner so I could get back on the road again quickly. If I lived in Winona, these guys would probably be my number one mechanics! The guy that worked on my Ford F150 was a master mechanic at Ford prior to working here at Joe’s so if I have problems with my truck again, I may possibly even take the one and a half hour drive down there to have them work on it! As most people probably know it is very difficult to find a good mechanic!
