What Drivers are Saying
Teodora Racoveanu
This place is amazing! It is always clean and they have snacks and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The service is fantastic! They live by their name and they are so honest about everything they do. I often call here when someone else tells you my car needs something and they can usually give me a better price and honest recommendations on if I actually need that service or not. This place is awesome, you will not regret going here!

My first time going there yesterday. Anthony was amazing and provided good customer service. They are not like those other shops that try to get you to pay for something extra that doesn’t need to be done. I love the integrity and honesty. Definitely will be utilizing for now on.

I was so blessed to find this amazing place. I googled, read the reviews and set the appointment online. Got up the next day and was greeted with reassurance and patience. I was very overwhelmed yet they made me feel at home and good about my decision to have them diagnose and work on my vehicle . Omg, the owner was there onsite and kind enough to drop me off at home and pick me up once my truck was ready. I give this place a 10/10 would definitely recommend if you’re needing auto repairs.

My new go-to for maintenance & repairs! Quick, trustworthy, & great customer service. The waiting area was incredibly nice & clean (super cool play area for kiddos, too!). Dana was absolutely lovely, as well - answered all my questions & more. Rarely do you see this level of hospitality skills at a mechanic. Super impressed. Highly recommend.

The folks at Honest 1 are great! They're completely transparent with their prices, and will send you pictures with their inspection reports so you can actually see what they've found. Other mechanics would never do that. Plus they keep you updated on what's happening with the work on your vehicle, do you're not sitting in the dark wondering why your vehicle still isn't ready. Their fair prices and excellent customer service keep my coming back!
Car repairs 101
Regular maintenance and a keen eye are the best ways to keep your ride Roadworthy™. However, knowing the signs and symptoms of common vehicle repairs can help you get ahead of expensive issues.
Look for leaks
- Yellowish-green, pastel blue, or fluorescent orange: Points to an overheating engine or a leaky cooling system.
- Dark brown or black: Could be an oil leak from a bad seal or gasket.
- Red: Might mean a transmission or power steering fluid leak.
- Clear: Likely condensation from your A/C and nothing to stress over.
Listen for trouble
- Squeal: Could be a loose or worn belt or brake system issue.
- Click: Probably the hardest to pin down; can mean a stuck valve lifter, low engine oil, brake issues, an axle issue, or something in your tire.
- Screech: May be a problem with your brake, wheel bearing, or drivetrain.
- Rumble: Often indicates worn drive-line components.
- Ping: Usually the result of using lower octane gas than recommended.
- Heavy Knocking: Might be a worn crankshaft or connecting rod bearings.
- Clunk: Possibly a loose shock absorber, suspension component, exhaust pipe, or motor mount.
Focus on the ride
- Trouble steering: Likely misaligned wheels or worn steering components.
- Pulling in one direction: The tendency to steer left or right could be due to under-inflated tires, a misaligned front end, or failed brake components.
- Rough ride and handling: Worn shock absorbers, suspension components, or improper tire inflation can affect cornering. A vehicle that bounces twice or more when pushed down hard at each wheel might need new shocks.
