My son and I were at the Mayo Clinic for 5 days and on the last day of a very stressful trip it got extremely frigid and my van would not start. I called AAA and they sent someone to jump us but it did not work. We had to have the van towed to Joe's to see what was going on. With my son being immunocompromised, I didn't want to have to ride with the towers to get to Joe's to discuss next steps so I called to explain my situation. We were in a difficult spot as we had to get out of our Air BNB rental and were without a safe place to stay that evening without a vehicle and a -18 degree day. Not only did Joe's fix my van within a couple of hours, one of their employees drove across the city to come pick us up to save my son more trauma. He picked us up, drove us to the shop and my son and I were able to hit the road. Great service, great people and fast service when I REALLY NEEDED IT. Thank you.

The honesty and integrity of Joe’s and the shop manager Stephan surpassed anything I have experienced as a vehicle owner in over 40 yrs. The detailed inspection with pictures of issues found provided was excellent. Stephan was very patient and happy to answer my questions and explain things I didn’t understand. The 24 month/24,000 mile warranty on most new parts and labor is exceptional. With the new off road/on road tires and work they did recently my 20 yr old Jeep has never been is such fantastic shape in the 7 yrs I have had it!! Honesty, integrity and dedication to doing quality work they stand behind fully. That has been my experience with Joe’s. Thank you, gentlemen!

My tires were wearing funny so I stopped at Joe’s to get an alignment. They got me in, got the truck on to the rack, set up the alignment machine and low and behold, the alignment was fine. I purchased the tires elsewhere and they’re a cheaper brand with a softer rubber compound. They DIDN’T charge me ANYTHING even though they had a half hr’s work into it! I offered to pay them something for their time at least and they still declined to accept any money. These folks don’t want to rip you off and are very honest. I will be back to buy new tires and support them.

I have taken my vehicles to Joe's Auto for years. They always get my vehicle fixed in a timely matter and for a reasonable price. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They even provide shuttle service to my work and pick me up when the vehicle is ready. My wife brings the vehicle in occasionally and always comments on how nice they are and how clean the shop is. Keep up the great work guys!

Since moving to Rochester I have made the decision to take my vehicles to Joe's. Their honesty in telling you what needs to be done and what can wait is much appreciated. I had a truck and car and decided to sell the truck. Matt printed out a sheet that showed the repairs and maintenance that had been completed over the years. The place I took the truck for a cash buy out was impressed with that and I think it helped me get a better offer.

My go to mechanics. Honest, fair, reliable! They always go above and beyond and have honest advice. I have been going here for a couple years and my vehicles have never had huge issues as they stay on top of it all at my routine oil changes. I trust their opinion and never have to think about getting a second opinion. Night and day difference between these mechanics and my old ones. Best decision I made choosing Joe's on 6th!

Complete satisfaction with the work done for me. Good explanations provided for what work needed to be done. No pressure to have more things done on the car than was needed. My car was showing a "service engine" light , problem was found and now I feel more power and a smoother ride . Great job done, very satisfied.

Have used Joe's for a few different things. Competitive price, fast service. Make the time to squeeze you in if they can. Guys are knowledgeable and answer questions you might have additional services you could get there in the future. No complaints here.

I went to Joe's Tire and Auto for assistance about my two front tire replacement and what kind of tires my car needed. Despite having a very limited inventory of tires to choose from, one of the employees went out in the 40 mph winds and cold to measure how much tread was left on the front tires. He was very frank with me about the issue and the time I had left before driving in risky situations.

I first went to Joe's in January for an oil change and transmission flush. Fast and efficient and during the inspection my rear brake pads were showing a lot of wear. I asked if I could wait a month and was told yes, and scheduled the brake job for the next month. I was given a great explanation, by Ryan, and an estimate of what they would cost. When I came to the shop, they were ready for me and the job was completed very quickly. I was told that the front brakes could wait a little longer, so I returned two months later and had them replaced. Again, I felt things were explained, the mechanics were thorough and the job was done in the expected amount of time. I like the feel of a small shop and the time they took to explain things . I am very satisfied with Joe's Auto and Tire in Winona.

Joe’s Auto is my go-to place in town for oil changes and general maintenance. Each summer I take a long road trip and have Joe’s look things over on my car and have not been disappointed. Stefan and his team provide excellent customer service and thorough reports of your car without pushing anything extra. They get the job done well and are happy to provide insight if you’d like to do the job yourself. I’m happy Winona has Joe’s Auto around!

Frequently asked questions:

When do I need my tires replaced?

Tread depths of less than 3/32" or after 6 years since the tires first touch the pavement. Other reasons to replace are poor handling or traction on slippery or wet surfaces. If your tires look worn to you, you should stop by any of our tire stores in the Southeast Minnesota area and let us make sure you and your family are safe on the road. Shop for tires here .

Do winter tires really make a difference?

Winter tires are designed with special compounds and materials specifically for cold, wet, ice and snowy conditions. In flat-ice tests at 10 miles per hour, cars stopped an average of 23' shorter than all-season tires and 30 plus feet shorter than summer tires. A simpler way to answer the question would be this, you don't wear your summer shoes or sandals out in the cold snow, ice, or rain. Safety is the top concern. Shop for snow tires here .
