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

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.

Report
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!
