What Drivers are Saying

I was so happy with the service I received on my car. It was my 1st time there and I will definitely be going back for all service on my vehicle. Thanks also to Carson for his great positivity and helpfulness at the front.

Hands down one of the best mechanic shops I’ve worked with. The team was professional, transparent, and efficient from start to finish. They clearly explained the issue, didn’t upsell unnecessary work, and got the job done right the first time. Turnaround time was solid and pricing was fair. This is the kind of shop that earns repeat business and trust. Highly recommend.

They took me on short notice and had my inspection done within 4 hours. It was extremely detailed and had images to along with the explanations. Unfortunately the inspection revealed some bad news, but I never felt pressured or misguided by the staff to proceed with any of the expensive repairs. Awesome job I will be back. Thank you

I used to go to Honest auto service in Eagan, they did great job as well, also in Burnsville doing a great job, well explanation on things for upcoming repairable items for vehicle. Discounts for oil changes (coupon on the website) drop off vehicle and provide customer a Lyft ride back to your place. Always good to have Honest Auto near you.

Impeccable! 100% honest. The manager is a 10+ year GM veteran and absolutely the most honest person I have ever met in the automotive industry. I won’t get into my story but it takes a lot for me to write a review and say how impressed I was with this business and how they handled a potential huge profit/work for them but ultimately pointed me in the direction that made the most sense and saved me the most money. GREAT BUSINESS.

This brake shop is truly honest. I went there twice to get a quote for brake replacement because I thought it was time to change them, and after a thorough inspection, they sent me home because it wasn't necessary. I WENT TWICE!

Great customer service !! I won't take my car anywhere else. They can be trusted to do the work at a fair price. Plus, they drove me home (since I had to leave the car there) and picked me up the next morning. Didn't have to worry about transportation. Great place overall.

The team at Honest 1 Autocare has done extensive work on my old Jeep. They have always done work on it. I can trust. This has been especially important while working through a dragged out divorce process I have had to navigate, and it isn’t wise to look at replacing my vehicle.

All of my experiences at Honest 1 have been 5 star. The work is done in a timely manner. I have recommended this shop to many people
Car repairs 101
Regular maintenance and a keen eye are the best ways to keep your ride Roadworthy®. However, knowing the signs and symptoms of common vehicle repairs can help you get ahead of expensive issues.
Look for leaks
- Yellowish-green, pastel blue, or fluorescent orange: Points to an overheating engine or a leaky cooling system.
- Dark brown or black: Could be an oil leak from a bad seal or gasket.
- Red: Might mean a transmission or power steering fluid leak.
- Clear: Likely condensation from your A/C and nothing to stress over.
Listen for trouble
- Squeal: Could be a loose or worn belt or brake system issue.
- Click: Probably the hardest to pin down; can mean a stuck valve lifter, low engine oil, brake issues, an axle issue, or something in your tire.
- Screech: May be a problem with your brake, wheel bearing, or drivetrain.
- Rumble: Often indicates worn drive-line components.
- Ping: Usually the result of using lower octane gas than recommended.
- Heavy Knocking: Might be a worn crankshaft or connecting rod bearings.
- Clunk: Possibly a loose shock absorber, suspension component, exhaust pipe, or motor mount.
Focus on the ride
- Trouble steering: Likely misaligned wheels or worn steering components.
- Pulling in one direction: The tendency to steer left or right could be due to under-inflated tires, a misaligned front end, or failed brake components.
- Rough ride and handling: Worn shock absorbers, suspension components, or improper tire inflation can affect cornering. A vehicle that bounces twice or more when pushed down hard at each wheel might need new shocks.
