Honest-1 Auto Care
Recently had my car worked on at another auto repair shop. I was so upset because my car was worse than when I brought it in and I was out a lot of money. Found Honest-1 Auto Care and they immediately found the problem and my car works perfect now! So thankful I found them. I Will only trust Honest-1 Auto Care with all my car needs from now on!

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.

Honest-1 Auto Care Tyler took fantastic care of my vehicle! I had a wonderful experience, received exceptional service and was kept informed throughout the process … and I was even sent a report via text, with not only the recommendations of service, but also a list of items that were inspected and found to be okay. I recommend everyone trust your vehicle with the team at Honest-1!

Waaaaayyyy overpriced.. questionable diagnosis ..maybe smart to get another inspection or two. Mechanics seem lax but you're being highly billed by the hour.

I drove my Honda there..and back..their mechanic, according to the service manager said it wouldn't crank. The diagnosis was told would be free..but they tried to charge me almost $60 afterwards. I was told there was a pressure test..and I needed a new engine. But the story kept changing cracked head ..head gaskets..radiator.."new engine" replaced used engine.. estimated cost over $6,000 !!! Used engines for this 2006 run between $500 and $1500.. There in an expensive location I should have known not to go there. That location is likely costing them $6k to 10k a month but I can't subsidize it.

We went there for a defective strut and a broken fog light. Sara was courteous and professional. She first told us that we should check with Acura for a warranty which did not work out. She searched for both genuine And aftermarket parts. There was no charge for evaluating our problem. We will not be doing the repair so can’t comment on the work but everything leading up to the repair was top notch.

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

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!

I set up an appointment with CarMax and they sent me to this automotive repair company. This is not my first time coming here for services. I was called to confirm appointment and I had additional questions and through the conversation the representative from Honest Care was rude, telling me I needed to take my car to CarMax if I didn't was to be charged a diagnostic fee, honestly I was just explaining that I did not pay one before, and she got snappy and smart mouth. My phone lost service and hung up. I waited till I was able to call back but before I checked my email and saw my appointment

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

Have had issues here over the past, looking at the times I been here the first was the best back like when they first opened & when they really cared! The Gail lady omg she never knows if they can do a simple oil change and she's always there. Today the wait was 45 minutes due to an apt ahead of me. They have a big garage but hardly no workers to help with a few people going in for auto needs. I won't be back, and they give off weird vibes while you wait. Then One time I called back for something to be installed and the Gail lady was suppose to call me back but never did so after

After having a horrendous experience with a local auto dealer where I had been going for the past two years, I made the decision to research local auto care shops for an oil change. The reviews of Honest-1 Auto Care, were among the best in Tyler,so I made an online appointment. From the moment I walked in the door and was greeted by Gail, I could not have been more pleased and confident with the staff, the facility, and the service. Besides my oil change and tire rotation, I mentioned a concern about some oil spots on the garage floor. Gail explained that once the tech had the car " in the

I highly recommend Honest-1. The facility is clean and comfortable. The staff is polite and communicative. This was my first experience with them and I will go back. Luke, especially, was very accommodating to our needs. I appreciate the complimentary inspections and quick service.

Ralph and his team at Honest-1 are very personable, thorough, and fair. I've been able to meet various members of the staff and all have been very helpful. Ralph realized that it would help me to see an issue with my car and proceeded to take me out to the shop to show me the issue. They make sure to only the do the wrk that's necessary and will provide you with an update of any work that can be deferred until later. I also love and appreciate that they will provide transportation to and from work. I've had great experiences here and will continue to give them my business

Absolutely love this place! They are all so friendly, helpful, honest, and reliable. The waiting area is nice - clean and stocked with snacks, very comfortable, I forget I'm even in an auto shop lol. I've been here several times with my car and never felt like they were doing unnecessary work, or that they were not efficient. Prices are fair, especially for the quality of service offered.

My wife went in for an oil change and they gave her a quote for almost $1900 worth of "repairs that need to be made" and so we got a second look at it and got a quote for $550. Honest-1 was charging for things that didn't even apply to our vehicle.

I had been meaning to take my car in before my car told me "maintenance due now" but on our way out of town, that came on. The Honda dealership in Arkansas had to take appointments as scheduled and had no time so when we got back home, my first stop was at Honest 1. I had received a flyer from them which I read and appreciated and their prices on the same services offered by others were cheaper! I pulled into the garage area, got out and asked for an oil change. I was lead to the front office, kept out of the rain, and was asked to answer a few questions. I had my oil changed and the
