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!
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
