Our History
Established in 1996, Terry Wynter Auto Service began in an eight bay rental property. In May of 2000, the operation moved to its present location and today is a busy 11-bay shop.
Terry's good name and reputation are reflected in the continued success of the auto service center, which employs a highly-qualified staff of technicians and customer service representatives to serve our customers with the highest level of service. The staff of Terry Wynter Auto Service Center provides expert service on all new cars, as well as favorite classic cars. But most importantly, these guys know how to make them run like a charm.
Terry Wynter was born in California and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He calls Fort Myers, Florida home. A resident of Fort Myers since 1978, Terry and his wife and business partner, Kay, share a full life and successful business.
Kay Wynter has been in the automotive business ever since founding Terry Wynter Auto Service Center with her husband in 1996. A graduate of Appalachian State University with a degree in business administration, Kay spent a number of years working in the esteemed, North Carolina financial industry before moving to Florida and meeting Terry.
One day, while having her car serviced, Kay met Terry. The rest is history. Today, Kay draws on her vast experience in helping to manage shop operations. As the office and business manager, she oversees key business details, and contributes her vital support in many ways to the service team, alongside Terry.
Terry Wynter Auto: A Leader in Car Care
Terry's able leadership, much like his favorite cars, run smoothly and in balance with his seasoned management skills, advanced technological skills, and early wrench experiences. As car technology advanced into the 21st century, Terry worked for many years as a manager for some of the most well known 'big guys' in the automobile service business.
It's not surprising that folks who knew Terry then, now send the younger generation of their families to Terry's shop for car service today. Over the years, Terry Wynter Auto Service Center has earned a solid reputation for delivering the kind of car care service a new customer can always rely on without a doubt. The shop's longtime customers all know the next time their car needs service they are in good hands.
All in all, the shop is a product of Terry's original interest and passion for cars. A passion that he enjoyed when he was very young, when he first took high school shop classes, tuned big engines with his brothers, and raced his fast cars regularly. Proving to be a genuine leader of the pack, Terry, with the support of his staff will keep cars in the growing Fort Myers community running well for years to come.
