What Drivers are Saying
Rachel Ralston
This shop 100% lives up to its name! Miles and his crew were honest, transparent, and made sure the job got done right, in a timely manner, and at a very fair price. As a woman, it means the world to me to have found a mechanic I can trust. I couldn't be happier with the service I received at the Honest-1 Auto Care in Aurora!
Paul Ingram
This was my third experience going to Honest 1 Auto Care. Once again it was a very great experience and I plan on coming back again. I was not disappointed once again. Each associate listen to me and the work was completed as communicated and in a timely manner. This team is great! Shout out to the entire team and staff, but a huge shout out to Devan. There customer service is “Really Honestly #1…” 👍 No regrets! 5+ STARS!

5/5 Stars — Outstanding service! Brought my car in for brake and rotor replacement, and the team had it fixed up and running smoothly in no time. Fair pricing, honest communication, and top-notch work. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!
Shirley Powell
All the personnel are professional and friendly. As far as I know, the issue has been fixed. Usually I take my car elsewhere because your prices are higher than other places and being a senior I have to go with the cheapest price. This time though your alignment was cheaper. Matt always gives me a discount so I and appreciate that. My car is really old so having a warranty isn’t as important because I never know when the engine or transmission will go out…original on both.
Kyle Wills
The whole staff here is amazing. Tracey and Chris both made me feel greatly taken care of, it’s been a long time since i’ve had 10/10 customer service. I dropped my vehicle off knowing I had an issue with the vehicle, they had to keep my car overnight BUT I was given a temporary vehicle for the night and made it to work. My life remained the same while they took care of my vehicle. I will be coming back here.
Andrew and Emily Yetzer
We had a great experience with honest 1 auto care in PL. I had called ahead as I had a nail in my tire and they were able to fit me into the schedule same day. After looking into it they determined the nail could be pulled and the tire was not leaking. So convient and helpful!
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.
