What Drivers are Saying
Rachel Ralston
This shop 100% lives up to its name! Miles and his crew were honest, transparent, and made sure the job got done right, in a timely manner, and at a very fair price. As a woman, it means the world to me to have found a mechanic I can trust. I couldn't be happier with the service I received at the Honest-1 Auto Care in Aurora!
Paul Ingram
This was my third experience going to Honest 1 Auto Care. Once again it was a very great experience and I plan on coming back again. I was not disappointed once again. Each associate listen to me and the work was completed as communicated and in a timely manner. This team is great! Shout out to the entire team and staff, but a huge shout out to Devan. There customer service is “Really Honestly #1…” 👍 No regrets! 5+ STARS!

5/5 Stars — Outstanding service! Brought my car in for brake and rotor replacement, and the team had it fixed up and running smoothly in no time. Fair pricing, honest communication, and top-notch work. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Scott Jensen was really attentive and helpful throughout this whole process. My fiancée's car crapped out and we luckily found Honest-1. They helped us figure out what was needed and helped us figure out payments and everything I definitely recommend them.

Tony has recently worked on all 3 of my vehicles and did a fantastic job! He was able to get everything fixed really quickly too! He is a very professional young man who loves what he does, and it shows! All of their work has guarantees, which is almost unheard of anymore! Justin is his manager and he's also a fantastic manager to their customers, making everyone feel seen and heard.

All the personnel are professional and friendly. As far as I know, the issue has been fixed. Usually I take my car elsewhere because your prices are higher than other places and being a senior I have to go with the cheapest price. This time though your alignment was cheaper. Matt always gives me a discount so I and appreciate that. My car is really old so having a warranty isn’t as important because I never know when the engine or transmission will go out…original on both.
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.
