What Drivers are Saying
Lee
Dave and team at Honest-1 Auto Care are great. I needed an alignment after leveling my truck with new suspension and they did a fantastic job. From the complimentary ride to and from my house nearby, to the straight forward discussions, I couldn't be more happy with the work completed. After a short discussion they knew I do most of the work on my truck myself, reviewed all the recommended work to be completed with the miles I have, and in detail discussed the few things that came up under...

Dave and his team at Honest 1 Auto Care have been more than helpful to our family. They were able to fix our car when another shop and the dealer couldn’t, which immediately earned our trust. Since then, they’ve also helped with two of our children’s cars. Dave and his team took the time to find the best parts to repair our son’s car and carefully helped diagnose the issues with our daughter’s car as well. They are knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely look out for their customers rather...

My car’s serpentine belt broke and caused damage to multiple components under the hood. Dave and his team took my car in and were able to get everything back together for me while working directly with my warranty company. As a young woman, it can sometimes feel intimidating dealing with auto repairs, but I never felt that way here. Everything was explained clearly, I was treated with respect, and I felt confident in the work being done. He handled the warranty process and made sure the...

Had my car towed to Honest 1 earlier this week for the first time. I talked to Dave over the phone and he gave me a detailed overview of what all they would do to find my issue. There was great communication, very friendly and like the name says, honest! My car is running great and I know what all still could be done to improve its performance, thanks to their road worthy inspection. I've been hoping to find a good place for my cars and I finally found one! Thanks Dave!

Hands down one of the best mechanic shops I’ve worked with. The team was professional, transparent, and efficient from start to finish. They clearly explained the issue, didn’t upsell unnecessary work, and got the job done right the first time. Turnaround time was solid and pricing was fair. This is the kind of shop that earns repeat business and trust. Highly recommend.
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.
