Mary is the friendly face and voice that greets you at Winkler Automotive. Her passion for cars runs deep, tracing back to her childhood spent surrounded by classic cars like her father's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda and the 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass that became her first car. Her father, a retired master Chrysler technician, not only introduced her to the beauty of classic cars but also instilled in her the values of hard work and precision in automotive care.

Choosing to follow in her father's footsteps, Mary initially took on the hands-on role of an apprentice technician. She soon discovered that her true calling lay in bridging the gap between technical expertise and customer care. Transitioning into a service advisor role, Mary found her niche, dedicating herself to ensuring that customers’ needs are addressed and that every car she oversees is safe and well-maintained.

At Winkler Automotive team, Mary is right at home among professionals who share her dedication and passion for cars.
