What Drivers are Saying
lori lipkin
In a world where saying you’re “honest” usually means the opposite, Honest-1 Auto Care, specifically Chris, went above and beyond to help when another business was anything but honest. He went out of his way to help me navigate holding this other business accountable. He and the staff provided consistent excellence in every single aspect of my evaluation and repair including providing transportation back and forth while my repair was completed. Can’t recommend Honest-1 Auto Care enough,...

Impeccable! 100% honest. The manager is a 10+ year GM veteran and absolutely the most honest person I have ever met in the automotive industry. I won’t get into my story but it takes a lot for me to write a review and say how impressed I was with this business and how they handled a potential huge profit/work for them but ultimately pointed me in the direction that made the most sense and saved me the most money. GREAT BUSINESS.

The work was really great and I am very satisfied with your work. The lights in my car work perfectly! Thank you so much to Corey, Chris and others technicians!

Chris and the mechanics here at Honest-1 auto care are great. Worked on my 2007 Dodge Ram and got it running as good as new. Will definitely recommend if you need your vehicle worked on.

Changed oil & rotated tires. Had an issue with an engine error message: tech (I think it was Larry) scanned & found 28 error codes, mostly in the electrical system, that he reviewed with me & was able to reset. No charge. No more issues, car - 2017 Pilot - runs great. Professional, courteous service; pleasant to deal with. Good waiting area too! I’ll be 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.
