We have been taking both our vehicles here a Mini Cooper Clubman and a Ram 1500 for several years. Fantastic service and quality. Great customer service with detailed reports of everything regarding your vehicle. Easy to schedule appointments and fast turn around. Overall really glad Honest-1 was recommended to us.

I’ve used honest 1 for about 16 years. I first used the shop closer to downtown, but since we moved to lents in 2018 I used the one off 82nd. Tony has been great, the work they do on our cars has been solid, and I’ve never had to return for a repeat problem. We have older cars 2005-2008 and they run great. Thee biggest job they did was replacing the head gaskets on a tacoma, it was expensive but not as expensive as buying a new car.

I’ve worked with this specific Honest1 Auto Care multiple times now, and every time I am impressed with the professionalism. Specifically Kevin, he is very knowledgeable and personable making the initial appointment setting - to handing over my keys after service hassle free and smooth.
