Love these guys. They definitely are the "honest ones". They take care of my cars, are very well priced and I trust them completely.

I had a wonderful experience with Honest 1 Auto!! Everyone there went above and beyond for me! I’m a single mom of three and I can finally say I feel safe driving my car now!!
Chris Black
Took my 2017 Buick Encore in on 01/15/25 for an oil change. Kurt and Brad are great guys. Welcoming, informative, and most importantly, honest! They sent me a detailed report on all the things that need replacing/fixing, and changed the oil. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Plus they’re literally across the street from home! What more could I ask for?

It was a cold winter day, and my car was in trouble with a flat tire. I walked into the shop and found the people friendly, and the waiting room warm and relaxing. It felt like an island of warmth in a sea of cold—a great place to rest. I felt my car was in good hands as they ensured everything was up to specifications. Before long, my tire was fixed, and I was warm and ready to go. Just like the name of the shop, Honest-1 Auto Care, I encountered good people!
Kenny Laypan
Overall a pleasant experience. Better than my previous local shop that somehow managed to damage my oil drain plug and one of my valve stems. Will continue to get service here on our cars. Maybe the person that parked mine after service should be mindful of curbs with my low front lip lol. Thanks for making my car feel right again.

I would recommend the Lakewood ranch location. Joe was very nice when checking me in this morning. When I picked my truck up David G. was awesome. Asked him a question and turned into a conversation. Where he was very engaged. Made me very convertible. Estimated quoted I got in the morning was higher than the actual bill was. That didn’t happen at Christian brothers where I was going before this oil / tire change. Again would recommend this location.

I had an excellent experience at Honest-1 Auto Care. Our appointments started as scheduled on time. Problems they located were shown and explained to us, reasonable alternatives were offered. Our wait was short and comfortable, with free guest WiFi, a free and ample selection of drinks and snacks, and comfortable seating. And the restroom was sparkling clean! Prices were reasonable for services offered. We are very pleased with the entire experience.
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.
