What Drivers are Saying
Sandra Vary
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.

Was referred to this Honest One location, by a friend several years ago. The Customer Service is A+., and you can ask as many questions as you want. I have always gotten a clear and honest answer. The lounge is Super Comfortable and Sparkling Clean, as is the Restroom. They keep their promises. The work is A+. Their prices are competitive.

They fixed my tire pressure sensor for free. Turned out a couple of tires were just low, but they didn’t charge me anything which was really nice of them. They have a nice waiting room where your kids can play and they also have some light refreshments, which is very thoughtful and welcoming.
Erica Marrone
Excellent service and very honest! I had been taking my Honda to the dealer and I feel like they were trying to make me think my car was a lemon so they could buy it back and sell me a new one. This place finally diagnosed the oil leak that the dealer never found and my Honda is running amazing again. 10 out of 10 stars! Highly recommend
Penny Ward
I’ve been using Honest-1 for many years, for regular oil changes but also other automotive work. Recently they diagnosed and fixed problems with my brakes, and I was extremely satisfied. I would definitely recommend Honest-1 to family and friends.
Brake Services 101
Your brakes work like a trio: you (the operator), hydraulic pressure, and friction. No matter what car or truck you have, all brake systems use and create friction to slow you down.
Signs you need brake services
Like a pair of favorite shoes, brakes wear down over time. Regular fluid flushes and periodic brake services are essential to avoid a full brake replacement. Aside from a warning light turning on, here are some telltale signs you may need a brake repair:
- Vibration or shaking when you brake
- Grinding or high-pitch squealing noises
- A low or fading brake pedal
- Your car pulls to one side when you brake
- Leaking brake fluid (yellow or honey-colored)
Schedule your next brake repair or replacement with Honest1 for our Roadworthy Guarantee®.
What to expect while we inspect your brake system
During each of our brake services, our Roadworthy™ technicians will test drive your car, check the brake fluid, and flush the system of any contaminants if needed. We’ll also check for any signs a brake replacement or repair is in order. Signs like:
- Issues in the brake lines and hoses
- Mysterious leaks
- Emergency brake performance
- Brake pad issues
Avoiding brake repairs
The best way to prevent unwanted squeals and dangerous driving is regular brake inspection. Though it depends on driving habits, terrain, and parts quality, brake pads generally last between 30,000 to 70,000 miles (we know, that's a big a range).
- Consult your owner's manual for a more accurate mileage range
- Make a note on your calendar
- Come in earlier if you experience any of the signs and symptoms above
