What Drivers are Saying
Caleb Nelson
Honest 1 was great! Tim was very helpful and insightful. They even gave me a loaner car while mine was being worked on. Great service and everything was done well!
Linda Voigt
My screws broke off in the holes while I was trying to put on a new license plate. I called Honest 1 and asked if they could help me and Joe told me to come right over. Scott removed the broken off screws and attached my license plate. I was so grateful to have their help as I could not have done it myself. They were so friendly and kind. I wanted to pay them for the help, but they wouldn’t let me. Thank you!!!

Honest 1 has always been responsive to the Different mechanical needs of my older Buick. They have arranged for towing to their location and work completed quickly. Skye and her crew are to be commended.
Larissa Cham
Outstanding customer service, extremely clean facility. They completed the maintenance on my Lexus in a very timely manner. The prices are beyond reasonable. My neighbor started going there many many years ago and she highly recommended them. Even my brakes feel better after the pads were installed by someone else. This will be my go to mechanic from now on.
Amber Bressington
Derrick, Joe and David were all very helpful when I recently had to bring my car in for a number of issues including an oil change and nail in my tire. They were very kind and patient in explaining the issues and fair in their prices for services they provided. They even went above and beyond and offered me a shuttle to/from home while I waited overnight for the tire to be shipped to their store. Thank you!!!

We found this shop by absolute luck! My husband's van broke down on Saturday and this is one of the few shops that were open. We were in such a hurry to get it repaired we decided to just take it there, no matter what. I am so glad we did! Everyone there was so friendly from start to finish and I am so grateful. We got the van back very quickly. I'm so happy we found our new shop to fix the rest of the issues with the van hopefully soon

Honest 1 Auto Eagan has been a trusted and fair price service for all of our vehicles for many years. Many thanks to Kurt and Dominic for their excellent service. And to all the mechanics who do quality work to my cars. I always feel my cars are maintained well to keep my family safe.
Car Battery Services 101
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.
