This is a top-notch auto shop, and those can be very hard to find. The owners are very polite, great communicators, and really see you as a long-term customer and not a one-an-done-maximize-profit transaction. They give you honest input (aptly named company) about any issues that your car is having, as well as proactive maintenance input without being pushy or insistent on anything getting done today. Their technicians are sharp and their maintenance is done with the highest quality. I used to live nearby and now live in south Orange County and I will gladly drive 30 minutes or more to get this level of quality and service!

After getting ripped off i found Brad at Honest-1 and finally, someone that knows what they are doing! Not only was he honest and very knowledgeable, he was also extremely fair with this pricing. I had some pretty major issues going on with the front end of my car and they were able to fix it I would say better than original! 0 Definitely going to Brad from now on for anything mechanical. I also have to note that the entire staff was in a great mood and just a pleasure to deal with.

I have always been skeptical about mechanics, but Honest 1 has restored my faith! From the moment I walked in to the second I picked up my car, the process was honest, enjoyable and I could not ask for more! My car is running like a beast again & I am absolutely thrilled! I’m so excited that I have found a mechanic that we trust and can bring all our vehicles to! A special shout out to Taylor and Kurt! You guys are the absolute best!!! I will certainly be back and will be referring you to allmy friends and family! Thanks again!!! We are super happy about your service!!!!

Honest 1 are the only mechanics who truly about your vehicle and the person driving. Utmost professionalism, courteous, respectful people. Brad the owner treats me like family. He always tells me what needs to be done, and explains it to me. I truly trust all my vehicles with them, and will continue to be a customer as long as I’m still driving a car. My gratitude goes out to all staff!

I spoke with the owner of the auto shop yesterday at 10 am explaining that our vehicle needed an alternator replaced on it. He told me that our car would not be able to be seen until Wednesday 9/22 the earliest but if the vehicle was left there it would be seen on a first come first serve basis. I was already late for work and had two babies with me, I parked the car in-front of his shop with intention of bringing the keys back after I made it to work, on my lunch. We live directly across the street from the shop and I asked the owner if our car would be in his way, we could leave it at our house until it was ready to be seen. The owner explained to me that it was no issue at all for the car to be sitting at his shop. As I mentioned earlier the keys were not left because we were in a rush to get to jobs and the kids to school- our intentions were to drop the keys off after work, since the car would not even been seen until Wednesday and it was no issue parked there- (direct words from owner)To our surprise this morning he had our vehicle towed from his facility after not even being there 24 hours. We made attempts to call him yesterday afternoon after the car was dropped off to let him know the keys would be dropped off after work, with no answer. The shop was closed when we got home, so we could not drop the keys then. My husband took the day off work to go to the shop as soon as they opened this morning to discuss a plan for our vehicle to be fixed, and the owner had already gotten our vehicle towed. There is nothing honest about this company. The owner assured me there would be no issue with our car sitting in-front of his shop. We told him the make, model and color of our vehicle. So he was fully aware of what vehicle would be left, and he still had our vehicle towed not even 24 hours after being told we could drop it off. When confronted with this issue- he essentially told us it was not his problem. So now we are footing the bill of a tow expense as well mechanic issue- AFTER BEING TOLD WE COULD LEAVE OUR CAR AT HIS FACILITY.

Brad and Kurt are very friendly, helpful, and honest. After my cars work was completed, they texted and emailed me a detailed list of my cars components that had been inspected and cleared. My full synthetic oil change was a great price! Ive been here a couple times now and Ill continue to use Honest-1.

These guys are awesome. Took car in to see what was wrong with the brakes.

Review №17

My car had two leaking issues and visited Honest 1. They charged $0 for diagnosis. Found that one was engine oil leak from an oil seal and the other was fluid leak from power steering hose. Based on the diagnosis, they quoted the repair. I thought that the repair cost was reasonable and asked them to repair the leaks. Next day I received a phone call and heard that the actual cost was reduced significantly because they found a easier way to repair and could reduce the work hours. I was surprised a lot because they were very honest about what they did. I recommend this place to every one.

Brad is the best! From the moment my car got dropped off he provided the best experience for me. He is very knowledgeable, honest and provides great customer service.

Review №24

Ive been going to Honest 1 for at least 5 years after a friend recommended them and I have never been disappointed. Ive never felt pressured for unnecessary services and they have actually let me know when I dont need something that Ive asked about. Between my 2006 4Runner and my husbands 2005 Avalanche, they have done general service, breaks, alternator, transmission, air conditioning, tires and Im sure Im missing some others. They are very efficient too. For, my most recent visit, I had an appointment for next day afternoon but ended up dropping my car off the evening prior. They diagnosed it and fixed it the next morning, before my scheduled appointment! And, bonus, Kurt and Brad are really nice; they remind me of friendly uncles who also know about cars. Highly recommend Honest 1.

Review №25

Brad was the absolute best! I was stranded at my friend’s house and my car wouldn’t start. Dashboard malfunctioning. Because I have an extended warranty, I didn’t want just anyone to touch the car. I had my car towed to his amazing shop! The next day he fit me in and did the diagnostics and luckily it was just the battery. I have an Audi A3 so I wanted to make sure there was nothing else going on with it. He really helped me out and even picked me up the next day because I couldn’t get a ride! This is how an owner should treat his customers! It’s a family owned business and they truly care about all of their customers! I was safely back on the road in no time! I will continue to use them for any future work! Thank you again Brad! It was a pleasure having someone you can trust work on my car!

Great experience from the phone call to checkout! It is challenging finding a new trustworthy mechanic and I feel I have found that here. The owner Brad is a straight shooter and very informative. He and his wife are very pleasant and make waiting enjoyable. I would highly recommend Honest-1 Auto Care for all seeking a mechanic. I will definitely return. Thank you for catering to the customer. You could teach others a thing or two about customer service.

I enjoy coming into honest 1! They perform everything needed for me quickly, of course through making an appointment and depending the services needed. The front desk is always so welcoming and they talk to you through the service they will be doing to your car. I always enjoy going to this auto repair shop. I know getting any type of auto repair is a pain but always being welcomed with great service and hospitality I have less stress about doing so.

Review №28

I trust Brad and his team at Honest-1.And I have good reason following several 5-star experiences at Honest-1.Brad and his team earned my trust and respect with their ability to consistently provide exceptional expertise, knowledge, communication, and professional poise.Brad is personable, welcoming to all of his customers, and quickly proves his knowledge of auto engineering and passion.I could not be a more satisfied customer, and I will turn to Honest-1 knowing that I will leave with a remarkable experience.Initially, I brought my Challenger SRT8 to Brad following a month of chaos with a well-known Dodge Dealer in Irvine. Charged with an invoice in excess of $3800.00, pages full of dealer-diagnosed (unrelated) issues, and a car that could barely make it up a slight incline, I came to Brad. His team at Honest-1 quickly arrived at a diagnosis far from what the Dodge Dealer determined was the cause of the car’s issues.Brad carefully took me through each repair need and explained in detail, exactly what needed to be done. He took time to ensure I understood the root cause of each issue. His communication was articulate, detailed, and very easy to understand. Importantly, Brad and his team accomplished what the Dodge Dealer could not. My experience was seamless and it did not take me long to learn that he and his team are leaders in their field.

They misdiagnosed the problem and caused me to spend an extra thousand dollars on it. I went somewhere else and found it was a simple electrical issue that was fixed with a new fuse. Honest-1 claimed they checked the electrical so they are either not honest or just incompetent

This shop was great! First contacted them on the phone, very warm, friendly and professional. Brought my car in and they educated me on price and what my options are. Being a female it is nice to go to a shop and not wonder if you are getting taken advantage of. They called me with up dates and finished the job quickly and correctly. They even left me candy in my car!!!! Definitely recommend!!

I dont know too much about cars and by too much I mean I know that if I crack my block then smoke comes out from under my hood and thats due to lack of oil.

I recently bought a 2002 Nissan Altima 2.5L and it runs quite well, it gets very good gas mileage and the air conditioning works; however, it has some issues and I wanted to know exactly what those issues were and what it would entail to correct them and for that, its time to call Honest-1 Auto Care. If you need to know the condition of your vehicle, Honest-1 Auto Care is hands down, the best place in Orange County, and probably the best place in Southern California, to go for a full on vehicle inspection! They checked no less than 91 different items in my vehicle! They found 3 items that were urgent, 20 items that were imminent, and 68 items that checked out okay. They have completely eliminated any guesswork for me. I know exactly what needs to be done with my vehicle, when I need to do it, and what parts Im going to need, and how much its going to cost, to get everything in tip top shape. Ive known many mechanics and Ive been to many shops in my time and Ive been charged for vehicle inspections and 9 times out of 10, I leave knowing less about my vehicle then when I arrived. If you have a problem with your vehicle and you dont know what it is, take it to Honest-1. If you want to know the condition of a used car before you buy it, take it to Honest-1. They will honestly do the most complete and thorough inspection of your vehicle that can possibly be done and you will walk away knowing everything there is to know about that vehicle. And thats something thats very good to know. Thank you, Honest-1 Auto Care 😉

Review №56

Getting your car serviced is like going to the dentist or the doctors- you dread going and keep your fingers crossed that there arent any major discoveries. However, Ive been to A1 on three separate occasions now, and I would have to say, that, overall, its a pretty pleasant experience. Brad, the owner, is genuinely a honest, funny, and patient guy who does such a great job at explaining any work that needs to be done. Although during my most recent visit, it was discovered that I needed some extra work done, he explained to me that it didnt need to be done right away as it was not critical to the car being operational. Most mechanics wont tell you that. They are after your money. Brad is different. He understands that his customers have different needs and he does a great job of explaining what the options are. One of my favorite things about coming to A1 is the fact that whenever theres something that needs to be worked on, Brad will have one of the mechanics walk me over to the car, show me the item, and educate me if its something I am not too familiar with. Today, his son Justin, worked on my car. He did a great job and was always pleasant in demeanor. He also took the time to explain an issue I was having with my car after he did some discovery work.In general, I think if you dread taking your car to the shop its usually a sign that you dont have a lot of trust in your mechanic. After my 3rd visit here, I can confidently say that I dont dread having A1 work on my car. I already know what to expect- honest work, fair prices, great employees, Brads great sense of humor, and being treated like a valued customer. If youre looking for a new place that you can trust, A1 is it!

My experience with this business has been very positive and pleasant. Jobs have been well done, honestly and correctly. Prices charged have been slightly lower than the dealer charges, however they have been totally honest and telling you what you dont need to do or could wait until the repair time comes up, not sacrificing safety or longetivity of your car.I have been particularly impressed by knowledgable, courteous and positive attitudes of managers Mr. Brad McBride and Kurt Dewitz in Costa Mesa, California branch where I get my cars serviced. I think they are valuable human assets to this company.I will continue to service my cars there as long as this sort of management remains in place on this branch.Brandon Morad

These guy are good. They are fast, professional, fun, and their waiting area is immaculate, with free refreshments. Most importantly, they have never tried to push any unnecessary autowork on me, they tell me whats going on with my car like it is, and I always get 2 other competitive bids, and Honest-1 is always the cheapest for everything thats come up. Their business model appears to be having content, repeat customers, which is the only kind of autoshop one should be going to. I strongly recommend.

The best part perhaps was the “Thank You” gift in my car. In all the years of owning automobiles and the inevitable need for repair and service, I have never received a surprise gift. Honest-1 Auto Care is now my go too, I only wish I had found them sooner.

I have used Honest-1 work on all of my familys cars, from our Jeep Wrangler, Lexus LX570, BMW 740, and Volkswagen Tiguan. Each and every time they are great to deal with. I was always skeptical of the name Honest-1 but they live up to the name. I recommend them for whatever your car needs help with. They are great to work with.
