I made an appointment through there website and dropped off my car. I was greeted with very friendly staff. I finished my errands and picked up my car 2 hours after drop off and it was ready. They gave me a read out of what they fixed. I would have to say that the whole team is fast and efficient along with friendly.

The name speaks for itself self, the honest one! We had our work van being “worked” at another shop behind theres. The shop ended up closing due to a sheriff’s notice and the honest one help us get our van back in order! They walked over to test the battery for free and took care of it from there. AMAZING SERVICE!

All of the employees at Honest One are friendly and professional. They have helped me successfully maintain my Honda CRV for nine years. I highly recommend anyone wanting a reputable car maintenance establishment to check in with these fine folks.

I was looking to get my car a 60,000 service and I asked a service employee at a local Hyundai dealership. He told me to go to honest 1 in west Bloomington and save a good deal of money. He was right. I saved over $100 and I was very impressed with how they communicated what was going to be done and why. I give them 5 stars and my future business.
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.
