About US

Hi! We are Rich and Ashton Howe, Owners of Howe’s Auto. We live in Saint Augustine, Florida with our beautiful daughter and active Vizsla puppy. During COVID-19, we wanted to make life changes so we could spend more time together as a family. Thus, in 2020, Howe’s Auto was born in our current home city of Frederick, MD. In 2024, we relocated our business to our new home in St. Augustine, FL

We love bringing our expertise of the automotive and customer service industries to our community here in Saint John’s and neighboring counties.

Growing up in Wisconsin, the smell of diesel and motor oils filled my childhood. Those days in the shops/garages with my dad and uncles were some of the best. In 2020, with my wife Ashton at my side, I took my knowledge of the automotive industry to the next level, and opened Howe’s Auto. On my off time, you can find me sipping on whiskey and smoking meats, or relaxing with a cold beer on a tropical beach.

A Marylander most of my life, leaving my beloved city of
Frederick in 2024 was difficult. However, my heart is at the beach and St. Augustine has been an amazing move! Howe’s Auto is a labor of love I’ve enjoyed working on with my husband, Rich since 2020. I love being behind-the-scenes keeping this ‘engine’ chugging!
