They repaired the 4 wheel drive system of my ancient Jeep Wrangler, and now it runs like new. Great work, at a very fair price.

Fantastic customer service! We are from out of state & needed a quick mechanic to check under the car 30 minutes before closing on a Friday. We'd accidentally driven into a culvert & over a rock. Car was making awful noises during some turns so assumed big issues. They found the source to be a bent cross piece hitting the drive shift. Bent it back into place & it fixed the problem. Luckily no major damage. They wouldn't accept any payment. Very kind, honest, & friendly people at Howard Automotive. Highly recommend!

I used Howard Automotive for the second time and was again, extremely pleased with the service. On this last trip I was concerned that my AC was blowing warm air. I had been using another service and for the past three years was told the problem was on older car (2006) and it just was going to take a while for the AC to blow cool air and added whatever was needed to the unit and there was a small leak that made it necessary to add coolant/freon every season. Howard found the problem immediately, a few parts and the AC worked perfectly! No more yearly charges elsewhere. Howard also automatically

I had an alternator issue that I was struggling to find a reliable mechanic for. Howard Auto was incredibly responsive and emailed me back the same day I submitted my inquiry. They gave great instructions and were realistic with cost. I appreciated their communication and ability to present information to a layman in a digestible fashion. I will absolutely be using them in the future!

Wanted to have some chipped, dinged and peeled places repaired and painted on my husband's F150 as a surprise. Talked with Cody, told him what I could spend and he worked within my budget. They did a great job! Cody is honest, helpful and kind. Will definitely use their services again!

These guys were awesome. I am always weary being a female going into an automotive situation because I know nothing about cars, but they definitely put me at ease! I had to do a safety inspection because I have a salvage. They were quick, actually found an issue and were able to be inventive to fix it and only charged labor instead of having to spend the hundreds of dollars to replace it. Five stars for sure! Will definitely go back!

Jim at Howard Automotive is a no nonsence mechanic who will take car of your problems and get you back on the road at a fair price. It's nice not to be upsold everytime you have your car in.
