Howe’s Auto Service

I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate this family owned business. If you want an old time, personal, relational mechanic that respects you and takes care of you then you need to come see the Howe’s.
Their prices are great and their work is honest. They are the only place I take my vehicles because I can trust them. I’m not a very mechanical guy, but they explain to me what’s wrong in language that I can understand and help me make the best decision for getting my vehicle fixed. I’ve gone to them for years with several different cars and never regretted it.

I paid Howes to brake in a new motor for me. The brake in was done improperly and I was treated with disrespect and stonewalled by him and his wife/​resepctionist when I gave them the opportunity to fix the problem. He went around bad mouthing me and my fiancé to some of my very good friends. He neglected or improperly repair my vehicle when the previous owner had it, which I also repaired or paid for repair. He lied in court and got lucky the judge know nothing of cars or mechanics. He even stooped as low as to partially blame his wife, who was not present. Justice failed as bad as my motor did. His $ 400 job done wrong cost me and my kids $ 4000. Dont learn the hard way like me. Find a different mechanic.

Howe’s Automotive is a wonderful family owned business in the restored portion of the Hillyard neighborhood on North Market. We have been taking our family’s vehicles to Lee and Patty for a few years now since our next-​door neighbor recommended them. Lee is honest and thorough and Patty keeps the shop runnin’ smooth. We have even towed in our Toyota in the middle of replacing a water pump and Lee had it up and running even though he was forced to be the 2^nd hand in the mechanics. Lee can deal with any problem, in any condition, at a fair price, and in a timely fashion. I recommend him to anyone and everyone!
