I have built a relationship with them. They are very responsive to my needs. They have a warranty on their parts and on their labor. I had little things/issues with them. Sometimes I have to go back because the repair made was not perfect. They are good and they take care of me right away.

They tend to upsell you which is not a very comfortable situation. I would not use them again. I had a couple of interactions with them and I am not sure if I would recommend them. Since they are close by, they have done a couple of things for me. Every time when I go in there, they were trying to sell several hundred dollars worth of work.

We try to make recommendations based off what we see during an inspection and the maintenance schedule for your vehicle provided by it's manufacturer. We never want anyone to feel pressured or "upsold" when they visit us. I will try to make contact with you to go over what we see/recommended and perhaps we can look at your vehicle together in our shop to discuss what it takes to keep it safe and reliable. Otherwise feel free to call anytime @ 651-482-0035 Jason--General Manager.

It went well. See my comments above.
Description of Work: My car was making "funny sounds". I went in and the guys treated me like an intellegent person who knows nothing about cars. He gave me a run-down on what was need in order of priority (it had something to do with the engine/exhaust system). Major problem fixed, the price was reasonable and I'll go back there for further repairs. Oh, I've been going to them for about a year. They are great!

It was November when I relized my car had no heat. Called honest one and got in that same day. There was a clog in a tube to my heater core, plus a mouse nest in there. They cleaned it all out and I got it back the same day. We have used them for all of our car issues big and thankfully small, this time. Eric Schmittdiel is the one who always does the work and takes the time to explain it all.

We felt the guys at this shop were very honest and capable and truly appreciated their expertise and opinion especially as they did not pressure us to do something that was not worth the money considering the van's age and mileage. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: My sister's van was knocking and we suspected it might be the transmission. We called the repair shop and they said they would take a look at it right away as she was from out of town and needed help. We brought it in, but after a quick drive they weren't sure where the sound was coming from so asked if we could leave the van for a full inspection that would run about $150. We went back the next day and they told us the transmission was going and that the van just wasn't worth the cost of fixing it. Not the best news, but they were honest in their assessment and put absolutely no pressure on us to fix it.

They had trouble getting the brake pads off the front calipers. So, they banged them extremely hard, causing caliper damage. So now i hear rattle noise when i do not press brakes. And yes i have had my struts and tie rods replaced by another shop.
Description of Work: The provider installed brake pads to my vehicle. I have used them for other services as well such as water pump, serpentine belt replacement as well as ball joint. These guys are a hit and miss with pricing. Sometimes they will give you a good price and sometimes they will rob you blind.

Company never contacted me after I paid $58 for the "deal". Angie's List personnel contacted the company on my behalf and I still have never heard from Honest-1 Auto Care. I have waited at least 10 days. Therefore, no Service Date was scheduled and no service performed. I no longer want to do business with this company.

We purchased a 2002 Toyota Camry from a relative. The car has very low mileage but, because of it's age we wanted to make sure everything was safe and the car was ready to drive. Honest-1 checked everything out and gave the car a clean bill of health.

We knew our transmission was going and had started researching where to get it fixed when the car broke down on the highway. We had it towed to Honest 1 in Roseville that Thursday evening, after hours. By the next morning, they had already found a good used transmission for us and discovered a brake problem. By 10am Saturday morning, the car was done! Great service, fair price and the Saturday hours are a plus. Thanks!

After completing the oil change, there were several issues identified during the 100 point inspection. One issue was known, but the other issues hadn't been brought to my attention before. The staff did a great job diagnosing the issues and working through the options with me. I was very pleased with how much time they took to work on the issues and the price they charged me for all the work they did.

I purchased an Angie's List "big deal" hoping to use the inspection for diagnosing a noise coming from the engine bay as well as some uneven tire wear. Honest-1 was able to help me on all fronts: the oil change and tire rotation were quick and easy. They identified the engine noise as an exhaust manifold leak, and the tire wear from a loose tie rod. The rep I worked with was courteous and helpful and the tech showed me the tie rod problem and gave me an idea of what an exhaust manifold leak would cause as far as fuel efficiency and possible vapors coming into the vehicle's cabin (I just went and replaced it myself later and it resolved the noise). Probably the most interesting aspect of Honest-1 is their waiting room. It is remarkably better than any other auto shop waiting room I've been in and it had a surprisingly good effect on my happiness : ) They had free granola bars and candy, coffee, hot chocolate, multiple TVs, and I think they even had some game console hooked up to one of them for kids. When you are forced to wait on a long repair, sitting in a crummy plastic chair in a cramped room is annoying, so it was refreshing to have a big and open space with plenty of comfy seating, including plush leather couches and high-tops. They did everything I had hoped for and at a good price, so I would definitely take my vehicles there for service again.

.When I dropped the vehicle off on sunday night I wrote a note that the car was having difficulty turning over and running rough. I didn't hear back from A1 until the next day at around 3:00 P.M. They left a message that they had replaced the battery. I had not authorized the battery replacement but was o.k. with that since that was all it needed in regards to the starting issue. I went to pick up the car only to realize they hadn't even addressed the rough handling issue so I left the care for another day. I thought the rough running was related to the transmission. They did extensive testing on the transmission and found nothing wrong. They contacted me to tell me it was the "shocks" which had just been replaced less than a year ago by another mechanic. After telling them that, they looked at the car again and determined the shocks were fine, it was the suspension system. They gave me a "deal" at 1,400.00 but would not accept the 5% off coupon from Angies List with that deal. I picked up the vehicle on Friday and it drove much better! Unfortunately when I got it home it leaked oil all over my new concrete driveway so I had to bring it back the following Monday. They discovered the seal was bad so they replaced that along with the oil and promised a free oil change at the next visit for the inconvenience. I recently received a letter from their shop with the "recommended services" for my vehicle. They included transmission fluid service , brake fluid service, and cooling system service, NONE of which they "recommended" to me when my car had been at the shop for a week. The mechanics were all very nice and professional but after talking with a local mechanic I know that I overpaid quite a bit. Being a single mom of 3 I am always looking for a trustworthy mechanic that offers repairs at a value. I will definitely get my free oil change at Honest A 1 but next time plan on trying Rose car care in Roseville where a friend of mine always gets excellent service at a great price from Javier. A bonus is the free roadside service. Rated overall B -

As the Store Manager at Honest-1 here in Roseville I feel terrible that communication broke down in regards to your recent vehicle repair [Member name removed]. We continually strive to provide an excellent customer service experience and employ expert staff to make sure your vehicles' needs are addressed so your vehicle is fixed right the first time. With regard to your 5% off coupon I have credited your account $80 which you may use for any vehicle in your household at any time. Though your adviser does not recall this coupon being presented at the time of pickup I sincerely apologize if it was presented and declined--we ALWAYS accept Angie's List coupons as well as our own even if they are expired! Any Honest-1 in MN offers free shuttle service, free loaner cars, and an industry leading 3 year 36,000 mile warranty on parts and labor for ANY repair we make. It is my hope that the services we offer for the comfort of our guests coupled with our warranty which exceeds any other repair facility in the state, will be factored into any equation involving cost vs. value.

Frist of all this review is for the Honest-1 Auto Care in Anoka. It's been there for over a year and just recently listed on coupons received in the mail. Where they excel is in their warranty. Most places including Auto Dealerships only warranty for 90 days or maybe up to a year. Honest-1 Auto Care warranties the parts and work for 3 years. It's a good feeling not to have to worry about the need to have the same work redone a few months down the line. Everyone was very approachable, were courteous and straight forward in discussing issues worked on as well as informing about items noticed that may need attention shortly. I was very pleased with the work and would select them over a dealership every time. I have had work done at maybe 20 different dealerships over my 45 years of driving and all but one I was sure they did something to the car to guarantee that I would be back with a new problem within a few months. Standard scheduled maintenance on a new car over the first few years is OK but as soon as that agreement ends, change to someone like Honest-1 Auto Care. Their prices may be higher than your local Joe repair shop, but when getting a 3 year warrantee they tend to put quality parts and work into your ride.
Description of Work: Replaced all brake pads rotors and full system fluid purge with new brake fluid. Brakes had approx. 80K on them. I do not ride my brakes and very rarely if ever get myself in the situation of jamming on the brakes.
