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.
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.
