Costa Mesa Auto Repair

Thet are nice and informative. They leave candy in your car

They took great care of my car. Noted potential issues and let me know whether or not it was safe to delay them I trust them

Imho the best mechanics in the area. Super funny guys, honest, and will explain what they're fixing and why. Been coming to them for years. I not only take my car to them but ask for their reccomendations for locksmiths, parts suppliers, and bodyshops. If you need your car fixed, this is the place to come!

This was my first trip to Honest-1 after being referred by a friend. They were quick and very fair with pricing. Most places try so hard to up sell, but that doesn’t exist here. Happy to find a place that my family and I can trust. Thank you Kurt and Brad!

Great honest place as advertised. They do a great job and have been a great place to take my vehicle. Many of the repairs are well priced however some of the bigger jobs are priced higher than they should be. I would highly recommend their honesty and work.

Very impressed with the experience at Honest-1 in Costa Mesa. I called this morning and spoke with Brad and mentioned I had a check engine light I was hoping he could help diagnose. Sounds like they're pretty busy, but he said if I left the car with him he should be able to check it out. Sure enough a few hours later I got a call letting me know that the issue was a relatively minor one that I could choose to fix now if I wanted to, but wasn't urgent and didn't really need to be repaired right away. The price he quoted me to fix the problem seemed pretty reasonable, but in the end he really suggested I wait to fix it this time. I have been to several other auto shops here in Costa Mesa over the past few years, but have always felt like I had to haggle on price to get a good deal or research the service recommendations to make sure they were indeed necessary. I appreciate the straight-forward diagnosis of the issue my car was having and will definitely be back in the future.

Called and a very nice gentlemen answered the phone in a really fun nice way that was cool we made a appointment for our car to get checked out because there were dashboard lights going off they said they would check the codes and see what was causing the issue and how to fix and repair it. My fiancé brought the car by and left it at this shop all day she finally got a call about five minutes after they were closed she works down the street and it's our only car she called frantically because they had it all day and told them we needed it back same day so she wasn't stranded at work luckily she was able to get a hold of someone and went in. They said they checked the computer codes and it said nothing was wrong and they reset the computer system told us it only said alignment was off which it wasn't even the mechanic said it was aligned perfectly. Basically we left it all day they said nothing wrong no clue why it was having the lights go off just reset it and sent us on our way and my fiancé drove home sure enough lights went off again and they said to bring it back they would check again. We talked to a friend who her uncle works at another shop and we took it there just to see maybe a second opinion within a hr we had a mechanic at another shop come out and tell us the lights were going off because 3 brake light bulbs were out and the transmission fluid needed flushing and replacing low and behold 400 dollars later the car worked perfectly fine and is now fixed we also did one set of brakes which is why that places bill was 400 but the point is 1hr and we had a answer the shop we went to gave us a loaner car and everything this shop told us basically nothing is wrong with it. We got our car back from the other shop and oh low and behold the lights are all off and everything is perfectly fine again. Seriously honest mechanics? Why couldn't you have figured that out???? Gave two stars because guy who answered phone was nice but beyond that ridiculous. Glad we got a second opinion found a true honest mechanic shop.

Excellent service as usual. Highly recommended, I am always treated like family. They are the go-to guys for all your car needs in SoCal.
