My car was involved in accident and front of the car had 80% damage. I was little sceptical about repairs but this mechanic repair shop made my car like brand new in very short time. They even went extra steps and fixed additional repairs on the rear of the car with very reasonable charge what I am very thankful for. Great staff, very polite and accessible made our visit very pleased. Thank you

Have had all my vehicles repaired here and have always gotten great service and a prompt repair on my vehicles. Randy is the owner and always is great at helping you out to get all the insurance red tape out of the way. Overall I recommend this place to anyone who wants it done right.

The team at Ward is amazing. Took my car in on a Monday to repair damage to my bumper and they had it ready for me the next morning. Ward will definitely be my go to for any future repairs.

Ward was recommended to me through my insurance (state farm). Ward didn't waist no time, got me a quote on Thursday ordered parts same day and got my jeep in that following Monday. They told me a week for repairs and as they stated my jeep was ready a week later. The work was flawless! Like nothing happen. I was worried about paint matching due to the color of my jeep being a metallic gray with a hint of blue (not a common color) but i have to say this is the best quality work i have seen period.

The paint matched dead on. You really cant tell it was ever damaged or painted. They also went out their way and corrected a loose parking sensor on my rear bumper. I recommend this place to anyone. Also staff is really friendly and professional. Thanks Ward Auto!

Awesome service. I couldnt be happier with the results of my car. The staff was more than over the top. They even did a few things for me that wasnt in the scope of work! Just because! Job well done. I will always recommend this shop even if its out of the way for someone.

Had my mitsubishi done here expecting quality work, however it was done in August and my bumper is already cracking. They also didn't use all the clips on the front bumper connecting the plastic underneath. I took the car out today and realized the left tire is dragging against the wheel-well because the plastic shield wasn't fully attached properly. Honestly just disappointed.

Great shop. Trustworthy, kind and considerate staff. They are knowledgeable and will help you navigate through the insurance company's process and make sure you know you rights. They stand behind their work and will always address issues and make things right! Highly recommend!

This place is absolutely fantastic! Randy listened intently to all my needs, and really came through on one of my many vehicles. This shop truly is impressive from the moment you walk in. The storefront is deceiving. This place is VERY large. From the impressive office in the front, to the spotless multiple repair and spray booths throughout that just seem endless as you're walking through.

Every single employee there was friendly, and really showed care in what they do. They treated my car just as I would. The work they did on my vehicle not only was spot on, but extremely reasonable. As a matter of fact, I was shocked (in a good way) when I got my final bill. I was sold as a customer for life from that moment on. If you're looking for an excellent body shop for major to even the most minor repairs, don't even hesitate about bringing your car here.

It will be in great hands and you won't have to worry about getting ripped off. Highly recommend! I'm bringing another one of my vehicles as soon as possible to them.

I recently damaged the side and back of my suv pretty badly. I brought it here because of the good reviews and it is very close to my home. The work done was beautiful. Very detail oriented and it shows. Very happy I brought my car to this place! It's comforting to know that there is still honest, quality places like this one. My last experience with an auto repair shop was awful and I'm very grateful to have trusted this place. Thank you so much for making my Cadillac look brand new!

Nice work done on my Lexus. They did an excellent job fixing up the front bumper and hood on my vehicle. Good quality paint, very satisfied.

Thank you for the thorough repair work. Your attention to the repair's details and working directly with the insurance company greatly decreased my post-accident stress. The added personal touch of being a family owned business confirmed that I made the right decision in choosing Ward Auto Body. The SUV looks great!
