Costa Mesa Auto Repair

Not recommended for students who can't afford their huge charge on your car. Replacing a starter for $670 was incredible. I did it my self and it took about 30 minutes with $100 part cost. It was an easy job for a typical non-automotive person to replace it. 3.7 hour labor which I was told by the person on the desk, was not acceptable. Nice customer service though! Be honest as you named it next time. Hopefully.. Comment from Brad M. of Honest-1 Auto Care Business Owner 10/26/2015Thank you for giving us the opportunity to earn your business.

I came in for a oil change thinking that this was a regular type of garage but was completely blown away on how clean and inviting the place is. Big comfy chairs and couch, large screen tv, free drinks and coffee (not the cheap stuff either). I even brought my wife down to check out the place and was very impressed with the place and speaking with the service guys. As for the work they explained everything and even showed me that one of my air filters needed replacing because it was pretty dirty and there was no pressure to replacing it. I was in and out within 35 minutes and they were cheaper than some of the others places that I visited in the past.

I found Honest 1 Auto while price shopping another repair shop in the area. After speaking to Brad over the phone, I knew that I had just found "our shop". We brought them a very well used truck with a "death wobble" at 40 mph. Not only did they fix the problem for about 1/3 of what the "Alignment Specialists" quoted, but they also pointed out some other problems and pointed us to another shop they thought where better suited to handle that repair. That says everything out their integrity. They have since worked on 2 other vehicles of ours. HONEST 1 RAISES THE BAR FOR AUTO REPAIR
