I’ve brought my different cars to your shop I think 3 times and I continue to bring them because your work is excellent. I find the atmosphere to be welcoming and knowledgeable. I thank you for giving me my car back in such beautiful shape

Already recommended them to friends

Howard Auto Body is a nice shop. Folks are kind and attentive and handle business with insurance companies. The car was clean and beautiful. Excellent work. I would highly recommend them. Added bonus you can drop your Enterprise rental, pick up your car and go. Very easy no worries shop. I’ve taken my cars at least 3 times. Always good

I was delighted with Howard Auto Body and Repair. Their customer service was outstanding: friendly, professional. Tony's quick assessment of what needed to be done --and how much it would cost -was straightforward and his price was very fair.. I went into his shop irritated at myself for my carelessness in scraping my left side of my car. Tony's evaluation and quote lifted my spirits, Additionally,, Tony did other repair work in the back AND provided a surprise change-out replacement part, and quite frankly, he made my day. I have some more work to do on my car in the near future, and I can't wait to return to Tony's warm and welcoming and miracle-working shop. I heartily recommend Howard AutoBody Shop.Thank you, Tony and the rest of the crew there! --Tamara August, 2026
