Christopher's Auto Repair Services

Worth saying first: this is an automobile repair garage, not a home-services contractor. BBB lists Christopher's Auto at 89 Veterans Road in Winthrop under Auto Repairs, a two-person shop that has been running since 2003 under Christopher Viscio. The name in nearly every review is Chris, and the same three words keep coming back — honest, fair, transparent. Across 54 Google ratings averaging 4.8, the accounts are consistent: a driver writing in May 2025 said he heard the stress in her voice on the phone, walked her through what the van needed, and had it back in two days. In January 2023 a customer described a repair the dealer couldn't be bothered with, handled in one day at a reasonable price. In July 2024 someone wrote that he installed brake pads she had bought herself at no charge while the car was already in the bay. The counterweight is recent and specific. In July 2026 a customer wrote that poor workmanship on a repair damaged their radiator and left them stranded on the road, and that when they called, the shop declined responsibility and offered no warranty support or remedy — they paid to fix it themselves. That is the newest written account on file, and a complaint about what happens when a job goes wrong carries more weight than a dozen short compliments. A much older 2021 one-star described arriving for an agreed 8:30am appointment and finding nobody there for forty minutes. The long run of specific praise is real, and so is that one recent failure. Anyone considering the shop should settle up front what warranty covers a repair and what happens if a part fails after you drive away.
