Carrie Schilling
Their name lives up to their standards! The facility was immaculate, customer service was absolutely unmatched! As a woman who doesn’t know much about vehicles, it can be a little nerve racking when car issues arise, but I feel better knowing that I will be taking my vehicle here moving forward. If you are on the fence about where to go, I urge you to read the reviews for Honest 1 vs. other places.

Honest -1 Auto Care is a wonderful place for auto repair. They have always treated us with respect & fair pricing. They will set up an appointment for your repair on your schedule. If your tired of being lied to by the dealerships then give Honest-1 Auto Care a try.
Josh Sletta
I greatly appreciate the value and care Honest 1 has for its customers. I worked with Jerry and he was very informed and was able to communicate with me effectively. I learned a lot from our conversation about the issues with my car, reasons to repair, and current and additional prices.
J Groover
I love Honest 1 in Minnehaha, they have done all of the oil changes on my car. I always get an email of the entire inspection, with pictures. I never feel upsold. They offer everything from filters, wipers, and light bulbs if necessary. The office crew are always upbeat and happy to help. I wouldn’t trust my Soul to just any shop. These guys are great.
Lance Mickel
David the Service Advisor and Jon the technician did an outstanding job of getting my car in and out the same day. My car had an ABS alarm failure and they were able to get me a part and get it installed. They knew that this my only form of transportation and they did everything they could to handle the problem. They also changed out my battery. They did all of this and were very pleasant throughout the process.
Sunny Miller
These guys took care of some warranty work for a part that failed. They got my car in there pretty quick. They did some additional work for me at a decent price. Overall my past two experiences have gone well. If communication was better I would give them five.
D Daniels
Staff were friendly and the service was excellent. They provided a detailed diagnosis, complete with pictures of the issues. The work was completed in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a detailed and honest mechanic.

Signs you need a battery replacement
If you purchased the battery less than three years ago, it might be replacement time if:
- Your engine is slow to start or not starting
- Dashboard lights are on, but the car won't start
- Your lights seem dimmer than usual
- There's corrosion on the battery terminals
Whether you need a car battery replacement or jump-start, our Roadworthy Experts® are here to keep your ride running longer and more efficiently.
Look out for these battery drainers
- Extreme Temperatures: Both extreme heat and cold can put stress on your battery and wear it out faster
- Lack of Use: Infrequent use or long stretches in the garage means your battery isn't getting a chance to recharge as it should
- Overcharging: Going overboard (often due to a faulty alternator) can overheat and damage the battery
- Corrosion: Corrosion (white or blue gunk) on the battery terminals can mess with the charging process
- Electrical Drain: Leaving lights, electronics, or other gadgets on when the engine is off
Beyond the battery: Your alternators and starter
The alternator gets your engine running, and the starter keeps your battery charged on the go. Issues with these parts can be more challenging to identify, and a car battery replacement won’t fix them. If your alternator or starter faces problems, you might:
- Stall more and more often
- Notice dimmer internal or external lights
- Smell burning rubber or wires
- Hear a growling or whining noise
Schedule Roadworthy Certified® car battery services at an Honest1 near you. Our team won’t just get you back on the road. We’ll make sure you don’t need another charging system checkup again for a while.
