These guys live up to their name. I had a 2007 VW Jetta that they took very good care of.

I have nothing but good things to say about these guys. I towed my car in a couple days ago, in distress. As a girl who is completely air-headed about what it takes to maintain a vehicle, mechanics are kind of intimidating. I was greeted by Brad and Kurt upon arrival and they both made me feel right at home. My dog, Gunner, really loved them too. (However it might have just been the treats Brad gave him LOL) They definitely lived up to their namesake. Super honest guys who told it to me straight. I did end up having to take my car to the dealership, but with the information they gave me, and the transparency that they had in telling me what they could and couldn't do for me, I had so much more confidence to deal with my car trouble pragmatically. Thank you so much you guys for your integrity as a business!!

Great service! I was having a pre-purchase inspection on a car from a nearby dealership. They gave me great advice and were very kind.Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because they told me the car has an oil leak but didn’t specify at all where from (which would be a huge help and make quite a bit of difference) but nonetheless the service stands up to the name.

I'm almost hesitant to share this review because it feels like sharing a best-kept secret that I'd love to keep all to myself. The fear of not being able to snag my next appointment is real! But truth be told, Honest-1 Auto Care deserves every bit of praise and then some.I've just wrapped up servicing my Honda Accord at their shop, and it's been nothing short of a stellar experience. The works were extensive - a timing belt replacement, valve lifter adjustment, spark plug tubes and seals, a new water pump, not to mention the usual oil change and an antifreeze flush. The whole shebang, you could say.Now, I'm no newbie to their garage. For years, these guys have been my go-to, and there's a good reason for that. It's not just about the repairs and maintenance, but the integrity that comes with it. More than once, they've actually advised me against unnecessary repairs – even when I was convinced I needed them.What really stands out for me is the way Brad and Kurt run the show. They take the time to educate us customers about our vehicles. It's not about up-selling or pushing for services or parts you don't need. It’s about what’s best for your car and, consequently, for your wallet.If you value transparency, honesty, and education in auto care, then Honest-1 is your spot. Just, maybe, keep this gem under wraps, will you? Let's not all crowd there at once!Services: General repairs & maintenance

PROS:*Did a great job on the work we had done on our vehicle.*Excellent communication. Kept me informed throughout the process.CONS:*Way over-priced! Prices were 2x what other quality mechanics in area charge.OVERALL:Honest-1 is indeed an honest and friendly mechanic, but you will likely be charged twice the amount as other auto shops in the area.

Had a couple sensors replaced and one was a bear to get out. Curt and Brad had the tech persevere and they were able to get it out and re-thread the previously installed ( not by this facility) stripped threads. They go the extra mile to ensure the customer is completely satisfied with the repairs and the parts utilized. That's why I bring both my vehicles to Honest-1 Auto care.

Omg I am so grateful we found this place! Got a weird light in our car and had to find a place to quickly stop in and check it out. They were SO kind and helpful and got us in and out super fast. I wish I lived closer because I would take my car here for everything!

Brad and his entire team are honest and reliable mechanics, so hard to find these days. I had a disaster of a situation with my Kia where the piston blew out. Brad worked with me for months and finally got the entire engine replaced by kia for free. He didn’t have to help me since it was not his problem but he genuinely cared that Kia was being difficult and not taking care of the problem. He has earned my business for life. Always gives honest feedback and genuinely wants to help.

Went to Honest-1 Auto Care and tried their best to accommodate me. Informed me before they will do job anything I should know about payment, things they can do and they can't. I'm very well satisfied after jobs are done. What I best they really live by name of being so so so honest. God bless them.Services: Tires

This is my second review and every time I go to Honest 1 in Costa Mesa, I get pleasantly surprised by the honesty that is so foreign to me in that industry! Brad is genuine, cares about customers, and unlike many others doesn't sell you a lemon.I highly encourage you to try this place. I did and I will never go to another car service place!Ferial M.

I went back Thursday morning no appointment, but I talked to the old guy to the left at the counter. He said just come and will get it done. I go to drop off my car the guy I always talk to is on the phone. The old guy on the right says you need appointment , I thought the guy who told me to come back was going to say something, he did not. I felt the guy on the right was rude . The guy that told me to come in said nothing, I won't be going back

I truly had an amazing experience with the honest guys . They are true to their name , extremely efficient and helpful . I went in with a bad tire situation and within a day had it resolved and was back on the road . Kurt also explained the work they did thoroughly and made me feel much more at ease . Thank you honest guys ! I will continue coming back to your team for future repairs :)Services: Tires

My car was shaking and I took it somewhere else and they told me they didn't know what was wrong. So I called honest 1 auto care on a Wednesday and they said they didn't have availability until Saturday because they were busy. But I still told them my problem. He asked me a few questions and told me what the problem was. Told me that it was a simple fix and if I would like to fix it myself I could because I didn't want to spend all this money and time to wait. So he told me what to do. I fixed it myself and it works. Honestly the best phone call I could've ever made! Thank you guys so much!
