What Drivers are Saying
Don Gaddy
Honest -1 is an exceptional business. They have well trained experienced mechanics. They are customer centric. They have done extensive work maintaining mine and my wife’s vehicles, even to the point of installing a new engine. Their General Manager Chuck is awesome! I highly recommend this auto shop for all of your automotive service needs!
Krista Ruggeri
I cannot recommend Honest-1 enough; they have become my family’s go-to for any and all of our car needs. Their prices & expertise are absolutely unmatched and the staff is nothing short of fantastic. This is the first mechanic I have been to in this state that does not price gauge or attempt to up-sell me on every single little thing. Taking your car to the mechanic shouldn’t be a hassle and Honest-1 assures that it never is! Bring your car in and see for yourself!

Best darn decision I made to have a second opinion! Dealer recommended a U- joint replacement that would have cost >$1000. I came here for a second opinion. Dan, Lucas and Chris were awesome. Dan found that the bolts needed tightening and the joint didn't need to be replaced. They were so helpful, professional, knowledgeable and honest. I will be a permanent customer. Thanks, Lucas, Dan and Chris! See you when I return!

I have been coming to honest one for a little over 10 years now. I have never had a complaint about the price or the service. They have worked on all my vehicles and have always been willing to work with me. From the office staff to the technicians, they always make sure that I am aware of issues that are coming and they have always backed up their work as well. Thank you all

I’ve used this shop twice now and both times the experience has been excellent. They do a great job communicating — clearly explaining the issues, the repair plan, and how long it will take. The staff is friendly, professional, and the shop is very well managed. I really appreciate their honesty and efficiency, and I’ll definitely continue to bring my car here for any future repairs.

Brought my car in to get tires and an oil change for winter and realized I needed a lot more work. The guys were great. I picked my car up and the check engine light was on and I turned around and went back and the boys made the light go off and tested it to see what was causing it. Also, let me know that if the light came back on in the next month to come back.

I brought my car in due to a dead battery and/or a bad alternator. The service was top notch. Thank you to Roberto and his team, new customer for life! I definitely recommend Honest-1 Auto Care.
Brake services 101
Your brakes work like a trio: you (the operator), hydraulic pressure, and friction. No matter your car or truck, all brake systems use and create friction to slow you down.
Signs you need brake services
Like a pair of favorite shoes, brakes wear down over time. Regular fluid flushes and periodic brake services are essential to avoiding a full brake replacement. Aside from a warning light turning on, here are some tell-tale signs you may need a brake repair:
- Vibration or shaking when you brake
- Grinding or high-pitch squealing noises
- A low or fading brake pedal
- Your car pulls to one side when you brake
- Leaking brake fluid (yellow or honey-colored)
Schedule your next brake repair or replacement with Honest1 for our Roadworthy Guarantee®.
What to expect while we inspect your brake system
During each of our brake services, our Roadworthy® technicians test drive your car, check the brake fluid, and flush the system of any contaminants if needed. We’ll also check for any signs a brake replacement or repair is in order. Signs like:
- Issues in the brake lines and hoses
- Mysterious leaks
- Emergency brake performance
- Brake pad issues
Avoiding brake repairs
Regular brake inspection is the best way to prevent unwanted squeals and dangerous driving. Though it depends on driving habits, terrain, and parts quality, brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles (we know, that's a big a range).
- Consult your owner's manual for a more accurate mileage range
- Make a note on your calendar
- Come in earlier if you experience any of the signs and symptoms above
