I had nothing but a stellar experience with this repair shop. The only reason I'm knocking back a star is because of how expensive it was. That being said, repairs of this kind are ALWAYS expensive, and one of the issues they fixed was actually significantly cheaper than a quote I received from the place I usually go to. It's just difficult to place a star rating when it comes to auto repair pricing, because every shop is wildly different and I can never tell if I'm getting a fair price or not. It also doesn't help that I'm pretty poor, so a $1900 repair basically wipes out my entire bank account and savings. It's hard to give a 5 star rating when that's the case. All that being said, the whole process was smooth as can be. As a true Millennial, I prefer not to talk on the phone, so I appreciated that I was able to schedule my appointment online, and they sent me frequent text updates. I found the diagnostic overview to be extremely helpful. After they assessed my vehicle, they texted and emailed me a link to a report about my car, which included pictures of some of the issues. Not only was I able to take my time reviewing the information, it was easy to share with my dad and some friends who know a lot more about cars than me. Much easier than me trying to explain what someone told me over the phone. The manager(?) who I worked with, Brad, was great. When we went over the costs, I asked if there were any issues that weren't an immediate danger that I could get done later. He was quick to let me know that we could do without one additional $150 repair and didn't try to pressure me like a lot of other auto mechanics have done in the past. I've dealt with many condescending repairmen on account of being female, so feeling respected goes a long way. It definitely makes me want to return for any future work. He was also able to give me a discount of about a hundred dollars. My car is a 2010 Kia Rio. In less than 24 hours, a technician named Trevor replaced my front brakes, which were completely worn out, replaced the brake fluid, and repaired the front struts. I have to admit that I don't know what a strut is or what it does, but I know that some part of it was broken and it was dangerous. This is the issue that was also diagnosed by the other shop I usually go to, so having two opinions on it lets me know it definitely needed to be repaired and that money had to be spent. The difference when I brake now is noticeable and feels much improved. Brad let me know that my car is otherwise in pretty good shape considering its age, so I'm hoping I won't have any more major issues while I continue to pay it off. If I do, I will definitely consider paying Honest-1 another visit. Thanks for your attentiveness and quick work!

Brought our 2012 Honda Odyssey to Honest 1 Auto Care in New Brighton in July 2020 to have the timing belt replaced. The dealer wanted over $2K to do it. I searched for other options and found Honest 1 and glad I did. Honest 1 did it for half of what the dealer was proposing, gave us a loner car, and finished the job in about 4-5 hours. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

I have more than one BAD, HORRIBLE, UNPROFESSIONAL and completely DISHONEST experiences with this specific Honest-1 location. I won’t go into great detail here because I could truly write an entire 5 page essay on this shop and their mechanics and Jeff....but I will say that I brought my car in for a very very serious and specific problem relating to my oil cap coming off. Jeff told me there was absolutely no way my oil cap could be coming off while I’m driving. They degreased under my hood and did an oil change and Jeff suggested I put out a camera outside my house or look at cameras at work because someone has to be taking my oil cap off my car in the middle of the night. After having my car at this show THREE times in about 1.5 months I reached out to other trusted mechanics and took their advice on getting my car out of their shop immediately and not spending a penny more with them. I got my car towed to another shop and within 10hrs this other shop was able to tell me EXACTLY what was wrong with my car, why the oil cap was coming off while I was driving and exactly how to fix it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BRINGING YOUR VEHICLE HERE not even got a simple oil change or bulb replacement. They do not look into the actually potential problem they will just fix what they can see is wrong! They will sucker you out of hundreds of dollars, not fix your car just so your vehicle ends right back up in their shop a few weeks later.
