What Drivers are Saying
Megatron Melby
I always have a great experience at Honest-1. They took excellent care of my car and went above and beyond with the work they did. Miles and Sean made me feel truly appreciated as a customer, which is rare to find these days. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable mechanic shop.

Big shout out to the crew at honest-1 in new hope. Noticed a screw in my tire at 6pm. While the other tire shops in the area were too busy, these guys got me right in, looked at the tire, and determined that there was no leak. So no charge. What a great end to a bad scenario.

I had a great experience at Honest 1 Auto Care. They provided me with all of the information I needed but with zero pressure to fix any of the issues that I didn’t know about prior to my visit. The attitude was “Keep these things in mind for the next 6-18 months.” I will be back and appreciate Kurt and the team at Honest 1 AC!!

Needed to get my wheel bearing replaced, not only was the quote less than I expected, I was able to get in same day. They also let me use a loaner car for the couple of hours they had my vehicle. I would absolutely recommend honest-1 to anyone. Thank you!
Alicia Brown
My first time to Honest 1 was very refreshing. The young lady that helped me in was very professional and pleasant. The quote she gave me for the battery was very reasonable, and I was able to have my battery replaced. I would definitely have services done there on all my cars. Thanks Honest 1.
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.
