What Drivers are Saying
Sue
Charlie and the crew were great in a time of need. They stand by their work and are up front, knowledgeable and caring. When an issue came up while traveling in another state, Charlie was there every step of the way guiding me. I couldn’t ask for more.
Penny Ward
I’ve been using Honest-1 for many years, for regular oil changes but also other automotive work. Recently they diagnosed and fixed problems with my brakes, and I was extremely satisfied. I would definitely recommend Honest-1 to family and friends.

John Hooker
The counter ladies are very friendly, Skye is an excellent Manager, and they took my car as a drop-off on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and got the brakes done in 5 hours. We really appreciate that. We've used Honest One for years, and highly recommend them.
Jeff E
These guys are very professional, courteous and personable. I would say they are very honest and they don't pressure you into any type of sale. I went there because of a friend. I definitely highly recommend them if you have issues with your car or truck no job is too big or small.
Laurie Crowe
I should have come to Honest-1 auto care long ago but from now on they will be my preferred auto care providers. Chris and his staff are personable, accommodating, and efficient. Thanks for great service.
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.
