We not only offer a lifetime guarantee, we honor it. Customers are astounded when they come back with a small complaint and we fix it with no questions asked. I want to thank you for the very good job you did on Mrs. Vincent's car. Also when I returned because the remote trunk opener did not work, the attention to the problem was immediate.

They do a wonderful job but talk to me like I’m an inconvenience to them at times. Like they’re annoyed that I’m there giving them business. I’ll be going somewhere else. Gave me quotes for my radar sensor to be replaced and was told before that it will be at the dealership well when it was time to pick up the car now it’s a different story. Now he don’t want to do it because there’s no error codes so now I have to take it to the dealership

I took one of our cars to Howe Auto Body for a lengthy scratch in the front and rear passenger side doors. Howe provided the lowest price estimate of the 3 local body shops that I went to. They also gave me an 4 day estimate to complete the repair. An appointment was scheduled. The estimated time was precise. The price was to the penny. The quality of the work was EXCELLENT. My wife got home from picking up the car and told me that they even vacuumed it out. I went to look at the inside and it appeared that they not only vacuumed it, but it appeared that they "detailed" it! I hope to never have

I brought my car in about 30 minutes after a collision. The staff was super welcoming and one of the guys was able to look at my car immediately and give me estimates on piece-meal repairs, as the car wasn’t worth very much money.
We didn’t end up repairing the car but the speediness and helpful information was a relief on a very stressful day.

Howe Auto Body repainted the doors on my Jeep Wrangler - the paint bubbled near every hinge on every door, a known issue with Wranglers (hinge and door are different metals resulting in the paint defects). The quality of work performed is outstanding, my Jeep looks brand new. Jeff (manager) kept me updated on the progress with my vehicle which is very important, some auto repair shops I have dealt with in the past keep you in the dark. Overall, a positive experience.

One of the chain collision places, with insurance adjusters on site, would have gotten my car in quicker. It was worth waiting the extra week to get my car into Howe Auto Body. There is a reason the intake queue is long; they're the best in the area. Prompt responses to any question I had, and they'll push back against insurance companies to get your car repaired properly. Super organized. Had my car ready a day earlier than promised. Seriously, no other shop could do a better job than these guys, they have few peers. Take your car there.

Many of our new cars get a dent or impact within the first few months of ownership. It's usually my fault, 'driver error.' We often get silver exterior-color cars, one of the worst colors for color matching on damage.
In the past, I've inconveniently traveled 50 minutes to a shop in Wyandotte (to which I've been loyal to because of their immaculate work and incredible color matching).
I didn't want to make the 50-minute trip this time. Our chiropractor recommended repair at a business his relatives own, Howe Auto Body.
The rear bumper on our Ford Fusion needed replacement, as well as a color

We’ve been using Howes since we moved back to the states in 1999. They are awesome and the best body shop I’ve ever used. Honest and their work is second to none. It sucks when you need a body shop but at least you know you’ll get a great job and they will deliver it within the time they say. HIGHLY recommended

Best price out of 3 estimates and they went above and beyond. My front bumper and grill needed to be replaced. They even buffed out a big scratch on the back corner free of charge and washed/ vacuumed my car. Everyone there was extremely helpful and I will definitely be recommending them.

After an absolute nightmare of an experience at a collision shop in Southfield, we contacted our insurance company so we could take our Honda Fit to a second body shop for them to fix the things the first shop either messed up or didn't fix after 5 1/2 weeks with our car. Reviews for Howe were good on Yelp and excellent on Google, so that's how we made the decision to go with them. People are more likely to criticize a bad auto body shop than they are to praise a good one, so I'm going to sprinkle some praise on Howe right now!
Upon first meeting, we were impressed by the knowledge

CUSTOMER SERVICE NIGHTMARE: They had my car for 2 weeks.. charged way more than needed, over $4000... thankfully we had great insurance. Horrible customer service from this place, it was recommend from my Honda dealership in Plymouth. Wow, what a waste. They were great about getting my car there but once it was there... a different story started to unfold. Unprofessional. They knew I needed my car back to be able to have transportation to and from my sons lung transplant doctor appointments in Philadelphia. The owner tried to overtake the conversation and was very aggressive. Like I said, this

Last month when my Honda Odyssey was involved in an accident and I took my van to Howe Auto Body for 2 reasons. They were the preferred repair shop from both my insurance company (AAA) and Victory Honda of Plymouth. Jeff and his team were very through and did a great job with the repair and paint to help return my van back to better then normal.
I was also impressed with the text updates on the progress of my van. It definitely shows Howe auto body knows how to take care of their customer and keep them informed throughout the process.

They did a spectacular job on my wife's 2007 Solara Convertible. we had damage to the rear bumper, trunk lid, trunk compartment, both rear fenders and the front grille. They restored the car back to like new condition. I could not believe how good the body lines matched, the trunk line spacing was perfect. And the paint job was perfect. You could not see any discrepancy between the paint color from the rear fender to the front fender. This car turns heads even after this extensive. Repair was done. Their staff are very friendly and they patiently answer all your questions. When you come

This place is amazing! 4 cars worked on there! The lease inspector could not tell that our maroon Durango had been in an accident and told us to go here and only here from now on! They also do a great job detailing the cars. They steam the interiors to make them new again! Best place in town, by far.
