Honest-1 is just that, an honest, reliable, and affordable provider of vehicle maintenance in the city. I've been a customer of the SE Portland location for years now, and have always received excellent service and never feel pressured to add on extra, but trust the honesty of the folks there when they recommend an additional service. Tony especially has been a great help! I've recommended them to many friends and will continue to do so.

I took a hitch kit in to be installed and they got me right in. Matt was extremely helpful. I asked him last minute if they could change the oil as well. They did all the work for a very reasonable price. Extremely pleased with the service I got thank you very much
Lucero Theile
Super impressed with their accommodation, speed and pricing. I had two cars that needed work. They took one and they fixed it and I dropped off the next one and they got everything done in one day. They also gave us a report with everything it needed done and what were the most immediate things that needed to be done. Thank you so much!
Car Battery Services 101
Signs you need a battery replacement
If you purchased the battery less than three years ago, it might be replacement time if:
- Your engine is slow to start or not starting
- Dashboard lights are on, but the car won't start
- Your lights seem dimmer than usual
- There's corrosion on the battery terminals
Whether you need a car battery replacement or jump-start, our Roadworthy Experts® are here to keep your ride running longer and more efficiently.
Look out for these battery drainers
- Extreme Temperatures: Both extreme heat and cold can put stress on your battery and wear it out faster
- Lack of Use: Infrequent use or long stretches in the garage means your battery isn't getting a chance to recharge as it should
- Overcharging: Going overboard (often due to a faulty alternator) can overheat and damage the battery
- Corrosion: Corrosion (white or blue gunk) on the battery terminals can mess with the charging process
- Electrical Drain: Leaving lights, electronics, or other gadgets on when the engine is off
Beyond the battery: Your alternators and starter
The alternator gets your engine running, and the starter keeps your battery charged on the go. Issues with these parts can be more challenging to identify, and a car battery replacement won’t fix them. If your alternator or starter faces problems, you might:
- Stall more and more often
- Notice dimmer internal or external lights
- Smell burning rubber or wires
- Hear a growling or whining noise
Schedule Roadworthy Certified® car battery services at an Honest1 near you. Our team won’t just get you back on the road. We’ll make sure you don’t need another charging system checkup again for a while.
