About Us: Meet Rusty Howard

At I Know A Guy Auto Repair, trust and experience are at the heart of everything we do. Our founder, Rusty Howard, brings over 30 years of expertise in the automotive industry to ensure your vehicle is in the best hands.

Since starting in the industry in 1992, Rusty has developed a reputation for reliability and excellence. In 2006, he moved to Allen, TX, to oversee purchasing and vehicle reconditioning for a large DFW dealership group. By 2009, Rusty launched his own wholesale dealership enterprise, buying, repairing and selling thousands of vehicles across Metro Dallas and the U.S.

Here’s what sets Rusty apart: every used vehicle he’s handled has required some type of repair. Over the years, Rusty has built strong relationships with DFW’s top dealer-only repair facilities, trusted by dealerships but largely unknown to the public. These specialists are experts in engine repairs, transmission repairs, bodywork, and hail damage repair. Now, Rusty is making these high-quality resources available to you through I Know A Guy Auto Repair.

We work with trusted repair shops Rusty has vetted over decades to ensure your vehicle is fixed right the first time, saving you both money and time.

Our mission is simple: to make auto repair stress-free, affordable, and trustworthy for every customer we serve.
