Honest-1 Auto on Lyndale lost my car, and offered no apology or monetary compensation for the trouble. I dropped my vehicle off with them 10/25/22 for a check engine light concern. They scanned my car, identified the issue and started repairs a few days later. Upon receiving my final invoice, 11/01/2022, I requested to pick up the vehicle 11/04/2022 (my pay day.) The mechanic on my case, Marc, said that would be no problem. On the fourth, I arrived to pick up my vehicle, Marc greeted me and ran my card for over $700 in serv... read more

I had been going here for years and always got good service. Today however I went in for a simple oil change and they messed around with my tire pressure sensor. After doing this they recommended I get the tire pressure sensor fixed. I declined. Once I got back in my car that's when I realized they had actually broken it. It had been working before I brought it in. I have a front tire that leaks air sometimes so I depend on that sensor. I don't have enough money to get tire replaced at the moment. I called them to talk about... read more

Please trust the reviews that people leave for this place! I didn't and I got ripped off. I brought in my car because the ac wasn't working. They looked at it for 25 minutes and charged me 137 dollars for this quick check. They then quoted me over 1000 for the fix. This sounded a little too high so I sent the diagnostic to another shop. They quoted me 130 dollars. Cheaper than honest auto charged me for just the diagnostic. Please don't spend your hard earned money on a place that is so happy to rip you off! There are local ... read more

I was impressed that they were trustworthy and reliable. My car was making a strange noise and they were able to fix it by tightening a belt rather than requiring me to spend a lot of money replacing car parts. I also appreciate that they did not charge for a diagnostic teat. I would recommend to everyone.

I brought my car in with a 3rd party extended service plan to fix my A/C. "Honest"-1 Auto Care told me they had to do a $175 diagnostic to fix the problem. I declined and took it to Luther Kia. In less then 1 hour they diagnosed they problem and got the repair authorized from the extended service company. In addition, "Honest" 1 Auto spilled some crap on my hood and charged me for their incorrect diagnostic . Shame on them!!!!!!

I started coming here six years ago when I first moved to Minneapolis, and I thought they were great, but at the time all I really ever needed were oil changes and the like. I started becoming dissatisfied with them a couple months before the pandemic. There was something wrong with my battery, and it took them FOUR TIMES to figure out that it was not the battery itself, but the (forgive my lack of proper terminology, I'm not a mechanic) connectors on the bottom that needed to be repaired, even though I kept telling them tha... read more

Employees don't follow proper covid safety precautions, and I experienced delayed service of my vehicle despite a scheduled appointment: I was a customer with Honest One for years, and had a unprofessional experience with them and will now stop going there. I first left a review directly with them as a business, giving them a chance to respond and rectify, but as they never reached out to repair the situation, I've decided to leave some public reviews. Firstly, they didn't start servicing my car until 45 minutes after my sch... read more

Months ago, a neighbor posted a vague warning about Honest-1 Auto in Uptown. At the time, I commented on the post defending the auto-body shop and highlighting my experience as a young woman made to feel confident and secure in trusting the place to be (ironically) honest. Unfortunately, my experience with them has changed and I want to echo the warning that I'd previously countered. I asked the shop for an inspection and advice when buying a used car (that I found through this app!) in September. Marc LeForte, the manager, ... read more

I asked this shop for an inspection and advice when buying a used car in September. Marc LeForte, the manager, guided me through assuring me this was a car that would last me a really long time, referencing his daughters and that the advice he imparts on them in the car world would be the same type of knowledge he would share with me. I felt confident. After purchasing the car, I received a quote and service order and accepted all costs, which were around half the price of the car itself. Five months later, in early January,... read more
