They took pictures of the work needed which was great cause no surprises. Everything was upfront and quality. They gave a shuttle too which was great cause didnt have car. Gonna use then for all services.
Name says it all, Honest! This place has been great. Very genuine with their service and a lot of times will under charge just to help out. We have have visited several times and they are consistently sincere about helping and your experience. Highly recommend this place for your auto service needs.
I don’t know what happened to this business. When they first opened, they were amazingly professional and helpful.That was absolutely opposite of my experience over the past week. No one I came across was very helpful. The front girl who answers the phone, Gayle, or somebody, is EXTREMELY RUDE!! She literally hung up on me and is very argumentative.More importantly, they are more expensive than others around, charging $165 for diagnostics!MOST IMPORTANTLY,They didn’t fix the problem AND now my key fob doesn’t work, which they aren’t taking any responsibility for, even though they know it worked when they received the vehicle and stopped working under their care.DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! I am actually worse off than when I started. I have more problems than when I brought the vehicle to them.
They did a great job aligning my wheels. Checked our everything after and it was all in order. Great place!
My sister used Honest 1 first and loved the quality of work and the low cost. So I gave them a try as well and I am also very impressed. With the quality of work, the low cost but especially the professionalism and friendly team! And the cookie is a very nice treat! Thanks so much!
So happy with the service I received!!!!! Ralph and Ryan were awesome from the start. Stranded out of state alone, Ralph helped set me up in a hotel and provided me a ride while telling me about the different restaurants in Tyler. When my car required extensive repair, Ryan was super on top of keeping me updated and making sure my insurance got all they needed to quickly approve the repairs. Can’t say enough good things about the people and the service. Would highly recommend!
I have trusted Honest1 with my vehicle since theyve opened. Very nice to work with. I appreciate they take you to your car and show you and explain exactly what they recommend and why. They take care of your needs without trying to sell additional unnecessary services.
Very nice place and helpfull. Nice waiting area. Only thing I didnt like was that they wouldnt add a fluid when asked to.
They were extremely professional, had a clean and stocked waiting area catering to the customer. The employees were extremely knowledgeable, and kept the garage area spotless. Any further maintenance needs I have will be done there. Their prices are very fair.
Nice people is bout all I can really say. Car came back to me in worst shape and with missing parts off my car. Within 2 miles of leaving this facility, my car broke down and had to be towed. Did not even have the issues it has now since they touched it. I would not and will not recommend them to anyone. I was better off leaving the car they way we had it. Poor craftsmanship and work. And was lied too. So not so honest auto is it.
The service was great. The price was good as well.The waiting area was very, very comfortable and clean. Had beverages and snacks. I felt confident that the service lived up to their name....Honest. I will use them again, and reccomend them to others.
Very nice staff. Kept me informed on issues with my vehicle. However the engine noise started making noise again after driving a few minutes. That issue still remains. Other than that I would use them again.
Had them check over the car to make sure everything was good . Whent on a 3000 Mile trip and had no troubles
Gail was so sweet and they immediately found the problem and fixed it! I would recommend this place to anyone!
Awesome service! Never experienced anything like it. Even got a complementary snack!
They are incredible, fast, and reliable. 10/10 I will take all of my vehicles there in the future.
Although no one ever wants to receive the bad news of a costly car repair. We all know it comes with the ownership of a vehicle. However, I was recently directed to this facility and I can honestly say I am glad I was. Ryan was my service adviser. After making initial contact with him and his warm greeting. I decided to give the folks a chance. I knew I was in for a fairly major repair so I was already not excited. But Ryan calmly walked me through the process of the diagnoses. It was definitely a costly repair and complicated so he allowed me to try and source some options for alternate parts that would solve my current issue. Saving me $1500.00. He gave me an explanation as what to expect with the repair and length of time it would take. There was no questions unanswered, frustrations generated by bad communication or feeling of deceptive practices. Just good old fashion upfront and honest car repair. This is very rare to find these days and I for one really appreciate it when I find a place I can feel this level of confidence in. I would tell all my friends and neighbors about this place and suggest it to anyone who needs a Honest shop to deal with. No puns intended, but the place is aptly named. Honest 1Repair:New Clutch and flywheel replacement.Quality of repair:5 StarQuality of facility and service:5 Star
Customer service is the Best. Technicians also
This is a very honest and caring company. Their staff is professional and always helpful. I am so thankful we found them!
We have used honest 1 for years. We recently had them do electric work so we couldnt pass inspection. $800 later...we ajust failed inspection. The parts used were wrong. We also had them do brake work....the lever was left hanging. All in all honest 1lost our business due to negligence
Very Professional and the wait was pleasant.
Had car trouble while I was out of town. They where the best ! Very honest and great customer service. Thank you for being there for me !!
Very nice waiting room, clean, and cookies for on the way home!
This place is great 👍 did me right. Thanks for the service.
Fast. Reasonably priced. Kept me updated.
Tyler’s best kept secret?!On Thursday, July 9, 2020 I took my vehicle to Honest -1 to have my vehicle repaired for an AC problem. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and patient as we worked out all the details. What stood out to me immediately is that when I was given a ride back to my work the driver open the door for me and treated me like I was Someone important. That driver I later learned turned out to be the owner of this shop. That says a lot about their customer relations and how they do business! They did a free evaluation of my vehicle and even allowed me to take it to another business for a second opinion. After getting a second opinion, I ended up back atHonest-1. They are the real deal! They took care of us and I have found my new mechanic for our vehicles in Tyler, Texas. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to save money and still get the quality service and parts that you and your vehicle deserve!
My husband has taken his truck here a couple of times. The service was very good, personable, and worth every moment of our time. I will be doing more business with them.
Very pleased they fully honored their warranty. I had some work done earlier this year on front end suspension. One part installed turned out to be faulty 8 months later. Brought it back in and got it replaced at no cost to me whatsoever. Thats what you hope for.
1st time there. They are respectful toward women by getting doors. They provide transportation while my car was in the shop. Great customer service skills. They pretty much nail the problem when others tell u it might be this or that. They kept me updated about every hour or 2. I have been to several places to try to get my car fixed and their price was extremely high and most of the time they would say I cant figure it out I will always use them unless it is something simple and I appreciate the guidance from my youth pastor Ryan Daniels who told me about u
I was satisfied, from start to finish
Took in my old car that was leaking an unknown fluid. The workers were incredibly professional and courteous. After dropping the car off they gave me a ride back to my apartment which is a great service. After diagnosing what was wrong with my car and giving me the estimate to fix they were very understandable when I didnt go through with the repairs and didnt try to talk me into spending money or some other service. Didnt charge me for the diagnostic or for their time. Never have I dealt with such professional auto care service before. Even though they were unable to help me this time they have gotten a customer for life.
I had a great experience with this business. I took my Cadillac CTS there due to it not starting they were honest with me and fast. I recommend this business to anyone needing car repair. I will be sending all of my business there way. Thank you Honest 1!!
I dropped off my car for diagnosing and repair. They called me to keep me updated on what they had found and gave me pricing. My car was ready the next morning. There was no fast talking, and I felt comfortable in doing business with them. I definitely recommend Honest-1 Auto Care for car repairs/servicing.
Response time was lightning fast, the entire staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The entire facility is spotless, lotsa goodies in waiting room. They literally answered my questions before I even asked! The estimate was reasonable and spot on what it cost. Told me how long it would be and offered to bring me home and pick me up (which I took advantage of). Even left cookies in my car.This was such a positive experience I will be a life long customer.
Extremely pleased with service. Staff is truly customer friendly. Have visited on previous occasions and have yet to be dissatisfied with any aspect of services. The deferred work estimate is an excellent tool for me to use in planning future needed repairs. Highly recommend this team. Timely service a plus.
Best experience having car serviced in my 47 years of owning and maintaining my vehicles at a professional shop.Be intelligent and make an appointment.I am a woman. No manipulation or convincing you need unnecessary work done at inflated prices.I was thrilled when I got a printout of work done AND a maintenance list of what tasks need to be done to keep car running with labor and parts showing.I am not easy to impress. However, I was amazed at the entire experience. Search has ended for the shop I can trust.
Excellent service and real honest people. I will recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much.
Repairs were completed quickly and accurately. Prices were a little higher than competing businesses. They suggested 4 additional services totalling $1200. I had recently completed 3 of the 4 so I am not sure why they suggested them.
Very helpful and friendly. Explained in detail what was wrong with my car and didn’t try to up-sell me. Gail is the best!!! I will def make this my one-stop-shop for my car.
Honest 1 is great! Great Service. Great people. Great business. I wont take my vehicle any place else.
I take my personal vehicle and all 8 of my work vans to honest one. My only wish is I could give a higher review then 5 stars! Highly recommend
Staff were very friendly and helpful. They invited me back into the shop to not just explain the issues that they found, but to show me, as well. The waiting room was clean and comfortable. Glad I brought my vehicle in to the team at Honest-1.
They replaced my A/C compressor and belt, very good price and quick service and the compressor has a 3 year 36000 mile warranty nation wide!
Great people! I am 27 but look 18 and knows nothing of cars. Im always discouraged when taking my car to the mechanic for the fact that they can take advantage and over charge me.PROS: Gave me a ride home in shuttle.Very detailed in explaining the issuesGreat customer service with great seating for waiting (clean and comfortable)Charged me nothing for diagnosisCONS: Couldnt fix my car. It went into theft mode after taking out the battery and couldnt reprogram the key (dealership wouldnt provide them with the code for reprogramming)
This place is super HONEST & AMAZING!My mom & I were on a cross country road trip when we stopped overnight in Tyler, TX. That night my car was taking a long time to start & then the next morning still had trouble starting. Took it in to Honest Auto Care Shop thinking something was obviously wrong. They checked it out & said everything looked great. Said I must have put some bad gas in the car & that’s why it was acting up. Upon leaving the shop- took their advice & filled up my car at a reputable gas station- car started normally & was running great again. Couldn’t believe how smart & honest these guys were— most places would have taken advantage of 2 women. They didn’t even charge me for the inspection. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for smart & honest car repair guys. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!
Honest-1 is our new go to place for auto repairs. I received 2 quotes from local dealers and they beat them by $300. The service was friendly, fast and affordable. I used them for an AC repair as well over a year ago and same excellent result.
Ralph’s team has always been very good to my family, my friends, and myself. I know when I take my car there I will receive quality care and service! Their facility is suuuuper nice, and even has a kid’s play area. They have a free shuttle service in case you need to get back to the office and can’t wait on your car, also. Highly recommend these guys.
Ive only used them for oil changes, primarily because they advertise oil changes for $24.95. Ive yet to pay $24.95. Theres always something - Oh the $24.95 is only for 5 quarts, your vehicle takes 6 (and the price jumped to like $40). Or your year model car requires synthetic oil and thats not available for $24.95, but we will give you a $25 coupon off our $70 oil change. And dont try just driving up to get your oil changed - an appointment is the best way to make sure you get in, which isnt convenient, and even thats not easy. I tried booking a Saturday appointment on Thursday - no such luck. On the positive side - super nice, super clean, well stocked snack area and the punch card - five punches and a free oil change. But after my free one, I wont be going back. Not worth the frustration.
Best experience with auto repair Ive ever had. I do most of my repairs myself but there are times when you need to have the pros do it. I usually dont trust most places but these guys are honest, upfront about whats going on. Plus its a nice place to begin with, nice waiting area with complimentary drinks and snacks. I cannot recommend a better place to take a vehicle! And they left a complementary snack and thank you card in the car!
I had a major oil leak on my 4runner. I notified Honest - 1 Auto Care. They had me to come in they looked at my truck. They told me within minutes of what the problem was. They even took me out in to the bay area and physically showed me where my leak was. Which no other mechanic shop would do. They had me a quote within a few short minutes and it was an affordable fix. Within 1 1/2 day my truck was back in service. The warranty for 3 year or 36000 miles is untouchable for any other shop. If you want your vehicle fixed and done right this is the place to go. The people are friendly and you can not meet a better man than the owner. He listens and will have you back up and running . I recommend going to Honest - 1 Auto Care. There name really says it all!
The nicest people in the business! They made us feel like they genuinely appreciated our business. We needed costly AC service on my daughters 2001 Hyundai Accent, but I felt better knowing the repairs are backed by their 3 year warranty. A month or so later, shes still enjoying her cool, air-conditioned car!
I have used Honest - 1 on several occasions and have appreciated their work and communication . I was there this week and communication was not good. I had one young man who i first talked to - told him what I wanted to do (and get estimates for). They called and I dealt with someone else and didn’t feel like we were on same page! When completed - got bill (felt like was high) - then she said there was other work that needed to be done also. This was what I put car in for in first place. I admit - I am a little salty about this and would have wanted all this taken care of. On top of that, when I went to pay, their machine charged me twice - I even had told her that I was uncomfortable running it again. I know - it’s all crazy right now but it just seemed different this time. With all that said - I still like them and will use them again!
All of my experiences at Honest One Auto have been great from my personal vehicles to business fleet, staff is professional and knowledgeable, clean facilities also.
Had a great experience. Everyone I felt with was kind and proffesional, and they always do a good job. There was employee, Gale I think, who was just not very nice. Other than that it was awesome.
Theyre very honest, dependable people. I would trust them with anybody. They even saved me a bad problem by finding a wheel bearing going out. I was there for them to work on my a/c!
Honest-1 does Auto Care right! And their name says it all. Ralph, Gail and team tell you the truth and as a business, they look out for YOU as a customer - which can be hard to find these days. We have had work done from oil changes, to fuel injector cleaning, to brakes and a large air conditioning job (we shopped it around and they had the best price AND got the job done early!). From a clean, customer-friendly waiting area to honest, dependable, affordable auto care, look no further than Honest-1! They are the best!
The Tyler team is awesome. I’ve got an older truck and they are helping me slowly get it in great shape. I appreciate all the work they do!
The name says it all, if it werent for them I would of been out $1200. Yes I do recommend them from vehicle maintenance to your mechanic needs
I had a oil change and new oil pan seal. When I left I still have a engine service light still on and have a oil light still comes on. Very unhappy with the service of I received.
Response to owner:It’s under my husbands name. Not mine.Gail is very rude and doesn’t know the first thing about vehicles yet finds it necessary to give unwarranted advice. Company is way over priced and advertises a free diagnostic unless having to take stuff apart but is quick to call and say we’re gonna need to charge you this or that for the exact thing they quoted you as free. Found a shop down the street for 1/4 of the price they wanted to charge.
Ralph Tipple and his team at Honest 1 are awesome! First class customer service from Ryan, the service advisor! I highly recommend!!!
My experience with Honest 1 Auto Care was great. The customer service was excellent. I was very happy with the repairs done on my vehicle. I highly recommend Honest 1 Auto Care.
I came in for an offer I got in the mail for a free AC inspection. While there I saw another offer for a $19.99 oil change. I am about to take a road trip and was amazed by the long list of things they check on my vehicle FREE with any service. They gave me a list of things to work on, yet didnt pressure me to get it done, just to inform. The waiting area was clean and comfortable. Snacks and drinks were provided. There was a play area that my children enjoyed. This is our new favorite place to take our cars. Added bonus... After 3 oil changes, you get one free!
I love this place. They are the best and they always let you know whats going on with your vehicle, give you an estimate and you can make your own decisions from there. I will continue to go here for all my care care because you can trust them. The name fits the experience😁
Always a good experience. Everyone is professional. The place is the cleanest auto repair place I have ever been to. 5 stars every time I have been their.
Great place to have your Vehicle worked on.I will be using them again.
I wanted to use this auto shop because of the reviews it had, but couldnt get anywhere. I called this morning 03.14.19 08:15, spoke with a lady. I stated I was calling to get a quote for repair on a 2000 Toyota Corolla. She stated hold for one moment so she could get to her desk. I told her I wanted a quote on rotors and brake pads for front driver/pass wheels. She asked if I could bring it in for them to look at it. I explained I already know this is what I need because of a prior mechanic and I am calling around for a quote right now. I said if the quote is good, I can bring it by tomorrow and drop car off by morning. She then asked if I could bring it by tomorrow then. I didnt know whether to repeat myself or just shake my head. I told her look all I need is a quote. Why did she need to get to her desk if she wasnt going to use it to quote me or even use it for privacy to even listen and understand what simple request I had. I explained I work overtime hours and AGAIN I already know what I want, I wanted to do a key drop off in morning if quote was good, but thank you for your time if you cant quote me on just one service needed. Little did she know, I was going to ask for a quote on more replacement parts needed such as a Valve Cover Gasket and Sway Bar Bushings & Brackets on Front Pass Side wheel, but dang if I can even get a quote on rotors and brake pads, forget it. I do not have time to waste to take off work and lollygag when I dont even know HOW MUCH!! Hence calling around for quotes.
My experience was absolutely fantastic. Not only was the cost of my extensive repair VERY reasonable but the service was beyond anything I have experienced in the past. Staff was friendly, honest, and helpful. They took time to answer all my questions and made sure I understood what was going on. My truck had to be there for a while due to the repair and they drive me home and picked me back up when it was ready to go. If I ever need a mechanic again I will be calling them first.Update 3/2020: taken my truck here a few times now and it’s always a good experience. If I can’t do it myself, they’re my first stop. I highly recommend them
VIP treatment! This service center surpassed my expectations. I love they are open on Saturdays as not many brake service centers are in Tyler. The lobby felt more like the lobby of a five start hotel than the lobby of a service center. Extraordinary customer service from the whole staff. I love the sweet gift of the Milano snack pack & contact card left in my cup holder.I just went in for my brakes, tires & oil change but it looks like they offer MORE services than that.I recommend calling this Auto Service Center BEFORE going anywhere else.
I have never been treated this well when getting my car serviced! Even though I was taking advantage of this months brake special, they made me feel like I was their most important customer! Gail was friendly and knowledgeable. The waiting area was beautiful, and they provide amazing drinks and snacks while you wait. I definitely recommend this place!
They always do great work. I appreciate the professionalism and comfortable environment.They are my go to shop.
They REALLY care about their customers! I came in for an oil change and they do a thorough inspection of every nook and cranny of the car at the same time. I was shown a leak that needs to be repaired, they asked me questions about my maintenance history of the car and recommended what was needed in an open way. Very knowledgeable and caring attitudes. I even found a complimentary chocolate inside when I got in to drive home!Ill definitely be back to get my major repairs here. I already trust their knowledge and their ethics. Way to go guys.
Accurate diagnosis. Fast fix. On time delivery. Friendly professional people
We came here really down on our luck, so disappointed that yet another thing had gone wrong this week. Gail, the service representative, made us feel so at ease from the beginning. Going to an auto shop you are always worried about hidden costs, but her and our mechanic were very up front, and directly showed us the damages and our estimate. We are so very thankful for the friendly and great service, we will definitely be back.
Excellent customer service and interaction! Made sure I was well informed without overwhelming me with too much technical information. Great deals and wont charge you for something you dont need!
I would definitely use them again. They were polite and very professional in all they did
Honest 1 is my “go to” for oil changes! I love the facility & the waiting area is so comfortable.
They were honest from the start. When you are a woman companies will take advantage of you. Thanks for all you do.
Honest 1 was very efficient in finding the problem with our vehicle got it repaired and us back on the road. Thank you Honest 1.
I was told how much the job would cost, and when I received the bill it was exactly the amount I was promised. No over runs! And may I say the business is really clean.
I got several bids for fixing the air conditioning in my daughters car. Honest-1 was the last place I went to. They were fast, friendly and lower than all my other bids. Gail at the front desk is Wonderful! I highly recommend Honest-1 and will use them in the future.
Honest-1 Auto Care took great care when servicing my vehicle. It is clean and well kept. The employees are friendly. They even called me out to look at my car when it was on the lift to show me nothing else needed attention. Most of the time when this occurs, a shop is trying to upsell you for more services that may not be needed. Great experience!
I had my oil and filter changed and also my radiator flushed and filled. They did a wonderful job. Everyone was so nice. The cost was reasonable, too. I will definitely take my car to Honest-1 Auto Care again.
Love this place if your looking for an honest car care place then this is the place to go.
I always feel like the staff at Honest 1 Auto have my best interests at heart and aren’t just trying to get money out of me. They let me know what they recommend but never pressure or guilt you when you decline additional service.They also have a great waiting area with snacks, magazines, and TVs. They also have a shuttle that can take you back to work or home if you have a long wait.Also every 4th oil change is FREE!
Best auto care I have ever been to. I have no bias to them, I just think you should know. Never had a steady place to go but now I will not go anywhere else.Honest, low prices, friendly, quick, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Highly dont recommend. Took over an hour for a phone call realizing they had to take door apart for a faulty window. 3 hours later tell me motor isnt working and it will be $500+. The motor is $50 online. Joke of a place. Stay away.
Honest and reliable. Service writers are the best.
I went in for an oil change on July 1st and received phenomenal service. They gave me an estimate of preventative maintenance repairs that were a reasonable price. I have recommended their company to friends. They have my business for all of my future car maintenance.
What a nice experience! I was having difficulty with my cars A/C blower motor.Honest - 1 diagnosed my cars problem quickly, checked out the rest of my car when they did, gave me a very reasonable estimate for the repair I needed and made recommendations for things I may need done in the future. Nice customer waiting area with beverages and snacks while you wait. There was no pressure to get additional services done at this visit.Repair was made timely, car ready when promised and received a 36 month/36,000 mile warranty on the work done.
The experience I had was very Understanding helpful a manageable and I will always go to them for help with my car
We appreciate the prompt, courteous service, and we highly recommended them.
Good job !
We scheduled an alignment at Honest 1 and we were shuttled to a local restaurant for lunch while the truck was being serviced. We received a courtesy call from Honest telling us that the alignment would not fix the problem and they gave us an estimate to fix the.real problem. We were not pressured to do anything that day and they showed us the problem. On top of that they did not even charge us for diagnosing the problem. It is very refreshing to be able to trust an auto repair shop. We will be back!
Came in for oil change customer service was wonderful Gail gave me a free quote on some repairs and explained everything to me and even took my out to the shop to look at what was needed to be done to my car . The waiting room was very nice also love the fact there is a play area for my kids and free drinks and snacks. I will definitely go back for any service and any repairs.
Had my truck towed to the shop because the brakes were locked up.They should have told me up front they were NOT qualified to fix it. In stead i had a $550 bill and it was not safe to drive. Had to pay the bill to get my truck back.I have tried to call and have been repeatedly hungup on.When i placed my review on their site it is deleted....so much for honesty
Great service at a reasonable price
Most amazing car experience ever. Got me right in. Got me right out. So grateful to this establishment!
Other than being wrong on AC problem there great elsewhere
