Omaha, NE · Est. 2010 · (402) 991-5275
We've kept Omaha driving since 2010.
Howard's has been writing honest estimates in Omaha for fifteen years. The mechanic who works on your car is the same one who picks up when you call.
"Much more
than you'd expect"
from your neighborhood shop.
Howard's is not that shop where you leave feeling relieved to have escaped.
Somewhere along the way, auto repair shops got comfortable with the gap between what they quote and what they bill. Howard's never got comfortable with that. Every job gets a real estimate — spoken out loud, written down — before a bolt moves. That's not policy. It's just how Bill and Dillon were raised.
Fifteen years in Omaha. The same customers keep coming back. That says more than any certification on the wall.
Six services.
One standard.
-
Performance Tuning
Aftermarket exhaust, suspension, custom tuning — the work most general shops turn away. We take the time to understand your build before touching it.
Talk build
- Diagnostics Plain-English. We tell you what the code means and whether it's actually urgent. Book it
- Oil & Fluid Service Standard and synthetic. Full fluid check. We flag what's due — not what pads the ticket. Schedule
- Transmission & Clutch In-house. No outsourcing, no markup on sublet work. The job gets done by the same people you talked to on the phone. Estimate
- Fleet Maintenance Priority scheduling for businesses with multiple vehicles. Your trucks don't wait behind walk-ins. Inquire
- Detailing & Cleaning Interior, exterior, engine bay. Done with the same care as the mechanical work. Book detail
No guesswork.
No surprises.
You call. You talk to a real person — usually Bill.
Describe the noise, the warning light, whatever it is. We'll tell you right then if it sounds urgent and get you in the same day when we can.
We look at the car. Then we call you with the actual number.
Before anything is touched, you get a real estimate — spoken out loud and written down. You decide what to authorize. Nothing starts without your say-so.
Same day when possible. Dillon drives you home if you need it.
Most jobs are done by end of day. Need a lift while we work on it? Dillon's done it more times than he can count. Just ask when you call.
That other shops in Omaha don't.
Parts & Pricing
We shop the parts before we order them.
Before Dillon orders anything, he calls around to make sure you're not overpaying on materials. No other shop in Omaha does this as standard practice. Most order from their preferred supplier at their preferred markup. Dillon treats your repair budget the way he'd treat his own.
"He always calls around and makes sure I get the best price in Omaha."
— Cecilia T., OmahaConvenience
You need a ride home. Dillon's got you.
Dropping off your car shouldn't mean you're stranded. Dillon will drive you home — no charge, no fine print. It's not a premium service. It's what happens when a shop thinks of you as a neighbor instead of a ticket number.
"Only auto shop I've known that offers car delivery. Many times Dillon has driven me home."
— Cecilia T., OmahaHonesty
The quote you approved is the bill you sign.
When you pick up your car at Howard's, the bill matches the estimate. No "discovered issues." No "while-we-had-it-open" add-ons. Stephen C. drove away a loyal customer specifically because Howard's honored their quote — even when the error was theirs.
"Stuck to their estimate which went a long way in earning my trust."
— Stephen C., YelpFifteen years of the same customers coming back.
"Dillon is the most honest mechanic."
Best customer service ever. He always calls around and makes sure I get the best price in Omaha. Only auto shop I've known that offers car delivery. Many times Dillon has driven me home after I dropped my car off for a repair. I know I'm always in good hands when I take my car here.
Nothing but honest work and professional service. I will never go to anyone else again.

You could call around.
Or you could just call Howard's.
Most people call once, bring their car in, and stop looking for mechanics. There's a reason for that.
