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.

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.
Brake services 101
Your brakes work like a trio: you (the operator), hydraulic pressure, and friction. No matter your car or truck, all brake systems use and create friction to slow you down.
Signs you need brake services
Like a pair of favorite shoes, brakes wear down over time. Regular fluid flushes and periodic brake services are essential to avoiding a full brake replacement. Aside from a warning light turning on, here are some tell-tale signs you may need a brake repair:
- Vibration or shaking when you brake
- Grinding or high-pitch squealing noises
- A low or fading brake pedal
- Your car pulls to one side when you brake
- Leaking brake fluid (yellow or honey-colored)
Schedule your next brake repair or replacement with Honest1 for our Roadworthy Guarantee®.
What to expect while we inspect your brake system
During each of our brake services, our Roadworthy® technicians test drive your car, check the brake fluid, and flush the system of any contaminants if needed. We’ll also check for any signs a brake replacement or repair is in order. Signs like:
- Issues in the brake lines and hoses
- Mysterious leaks
- Emergency brake performance
- Brake pad issues
Avoiding brake repairs
Regular brake inspection is the best way to prevent unwanted squeals and dangerous driving. Though it depends on driving habits, terrain, and parts quality, brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles (we know, that's a big a range).
- Consult your owner's manual for a more accurate mileage range
- Make a note on your calendar
- Come in earlier if you experience any of the signs and symptoms above
