I found this place online and decided to try them out after my engine light came on. An easy online appointment got me the same day at 8:30 a.m. When I arrived, I was greeted with a friendly face. Both communication and promptness were professional and exceptional. When I explained the issue, they were kind and honest. I definitely recommend this place if you run into car trouble. They have gained a client!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Everyone I worked with was very knowledgeable, nice, honest, and respectful. I'm so grateful they were able to get me back on the road on the same day. Also the waiting area is very nice and full of amenities. This place goes above and beyond. I feel very well taken care of.

Unfortunately my transmission gave up on my 2016 Ford Escape. After calling around to shops and dealerships I circled back to Honest-1. I never had much trust in shops let alone a dealership, but Devan at the front desk made me feel at ease. Quoted around $8,000, I certainly didn’t have that kind of money.

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.
