Read moreI've had three of my vehicles at their shop, I've used other places but nothing comes close to the level of service and care that the staff at CSN Howden Collision provide. They make you feel extremely comfortable and confident that no matter what work needs to be done on your vehicle, you are always left with the satisfied feeling that the job will get done at the highest level. The staff at the front end are top shelf. They go out of their way to make their customers happy. I always do and will continue to recommend CSN Howden Collision to anyone I know.

Read moreIf you love your car as I love mine, you know it is emotionally shattering to get slammed in an intersection as I did one sunny afternoon in July 2022. The damage was extensive - front wheel, fender, headlight, suspension and grill - all toast. I thought it was a write-off. Daniel at CSN Howden calmly assessed the damage and reassured me that they would restore this car as if it were new. And they did exactly that. It was no easy matter getting the parts for my 2017 Avalon in these days of supply shortage, but they got them and went right to work. 18 days later I got the call. And by God they kept their word. With disbelief I stared at the now restored vehicle. The work was flawless. It was if there had never been an accident at all. I took the car for a road test - 6 hours! - the very next day. The ride, the handling, the precision - it was all there. I am very thankful to have found CSN Howden where they take pride in their work and, best of all, bring kindness and grace to the whole ordeal.

My insurance company said they were “very famous” and I was skeptical about their enthusiasm, but every call I got from CSN Howden was friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful. The work was completed in exactly the time frame estimated and I can’t say enough about Daniel and his excellent service. Read less
Be ready to pay up, but it seems like you'll get the full works here. Can you pay for it and is it reasonable? You'll have to judge for yourself. Good luck.
Extremely professional and courteous service throughout the entire process. Excellent workmanship on all aspects of repair. Every detail and concern addressed. Highly recommend and would def use their services again! Top notch ?

Read moreIf you are in an accident, don’t even think about taking it somewhere else, just bring it to Howden Collision for repairs. My Mustang was involved in 2 hit and runs in parking lots (thank you Toronto Drivers), and each time I have taken it here to be fixed.
Let me break it down for you:
1. Customer Service: Top notch. The front office team are a great group of guys who know what they are talking about. My hit and run repairs were about 7 years apart, and the same team of guys have been there since, so they know the business like the back of their hand. Their knowledge makes them stand out above the others, and they are approachable and talkative like you have known them your whole life.
The repair took about 4 days, with their team reaching out to me 2 of the nights to give me a status update on my car, and when it should be ready. They kept me informed that the repair was done and it was primed just awaiting its time in the paint booth. With the parts shortage and everything going on, scheduling is not an easy thing to do, and they executed it very well.
2. The Repair Quality: Each time I have gone there, the paint matching and quality has been perfect. The first hit and run 7 years ago, the person broke my signal light and bumper cover. When they completed the repair, the seams of the body and hood were like showroom, and you would never know it was hit. This week, I took it in for a slight bumper repair and paint, and the guys had everything completed in a matter of days. The painter they have is exceptional, with my 3-stage paint looking better than it did when I bought the car.
3. After Care: Upon picking the car up, I was glad to see they even took the time to wash it (most places do this) but it is something I don’t expect places to be obligated to do. To my surprise, they even took the time to detail the inside. My girlfriend has a dog, which is in the car often, and he sheds like crazy. When I took it in, I didn’t have time to detail the inside of the car previously, and it had dust, dirt and dog hair all over the place. Their team took a step beyond and cleaned the interior for me when I picked up the car, which may seem like a small thing, but those small things are what makes the difference from a good job to a great job; it shows they really treat the customers and their car with respect like it was their own.
Thank you everybody at Howden as always, you guys do a great job over there. I hope the owners know how lucky they are to have such a great team who not only knows the business inside and out, but also treats every person that walks through that door as a human being and not just an opportunity to reach their wallet. Have a great summer! Read less
