What Drivers are Saying
Johnny Brown
The staff at Honest1 are truly AMAZING, not only did they fix the problem on my expedition that multiple shops could not fix they did it at a reasonable price, and were completely transparent throughout the entire process. Honest1 is my go to shop from now. They truly live up to their name!!!
Jessica Douglas
Came here for a transmission fluid change, super reasonably priced, and as a first time customer even got a free oil change! My work was done in a super timely manner, the staff was very friendly and they even provide a shuttle services on weekdays. They did a full inspection of my vehicle and were very transparent with everything they did. Super easy no gimmicks you’ll get at any typical mechanic shop!

My experience at Honest-1 Automotive Care on Monroe Road was top notch and superb. Julian’s (Service Advisor) professionalism was nothing but exceptional. The (Technician) Chris did a wonderful job and was crisp and clean with handling my vehicle. I am also an original customer of when your location first opened years ago, and I love the updates and additions to your waiting area, it was comfortable and felt like home. Your Customer, D. Hightower

We've been going to these guys for years and won't go anywhere else. They don't try to upsell you on unnecessary work, they provide a detailed inspection with recommendations but don't put you on the spot to get them done, and they will shuttle home and back. Today when I was stuck in traffic Scott waited past close so I could pick up my vehicle. We recommend them to everyone in this area.

Chloe was knowledgeable and kept me updated throughout the whole experience! My driver side window would not go back up. Otto did a great job fixing it!
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!
Karla Mitchell
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.

For more than a year now I have been going to Honest 1 here in aurora and their other location in Elgin and time and time again I receive nothing but excellent service! Mel, Joe, and the honest 1 team are amazing and very fairly priced compared to dealerships and other shops in the area. The current car I drive always has issues popping up and Honest 1 is always there to help whenever I need it. I fully recommend Honest 1 to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly team of car experts!

Auto A/C repair 101
Your car's HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system helps control the temperature by removing heat. You might need a Roadworthy® auto A/C repair when:
- Airflow feels more like a whisper than a breeze
- Air never cools down all the way
- A/C controls seem to have a mind of their own
- There are strange smells or sounds when the A/C is running
What might cause your A/C to go haywire in the first place? Leaks, low coolant levels, blocked condensers, dirty filters, or faulty compressors could be the culprit. If you suspect something’s wrong, our certified technicians can handle any auto A/C repair you bring them.
Car heater repair 101
Also part of the HVAC system, your heater works like a mini radiator powered by the heat of your engine. We often forget about the heater—that is, until winter hits. To avoid a surprise car heater replacement, bring your ride in if:
- Your airflow weakens, or your car can't heat up all the way
- You can't control the heat
- There are strange smells or sounds when the heater is running
If you need a car heater repair, we've got the Roadworthy Experts® who can make it happen.
