Howell Accident Repair Centre

Howell Accident Repair Centre has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a small garage nearly five decades ago. Today, we are a flourishing, family-run business situated in our modern, custom-built facility located on Balloo Crescent, Bangor. Our Managing Director, Paul Howell, has witnessed significant changes over the years, from the iconic Cortinas to the contemporary Qashqais and everything in between. With the rapid advancement of technology, particularly in safety-critical components such as ADAS and vehicle chassis construction, we have invested in the latest tooling, staff training, and manufacturer-approved methods to ensure your vehicle's safety rating remains intact. Rest assured, your vehicle will be repaired correctly, and all vehicles repaired with us must pass through our final quality control process on our dedicated high-lift, quality control lift before collection or delivery.
