Got us right in and repaired a tire that had a nail in it. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Staff is professional and friendly. The waiting area is beautiful and clean. (I wouldn't have minded waiting longer). We will come back for additional services. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Won't be back. Don't let the name fool you. Not honest or transparent at all. I came in with a vapor valve needing to be replaced, something I knew because I used my error code reader. Sure, still charged me $185 for diagnosis. Thought I was getting taken for a ride by my Carmax warranty because they were only willing to pay $66 towards the $160 charge for the part. Turns out that is exactly what the part retails for, checked AutoZone and genuine Chevy parts online. This place doubled down, they reserve the right to mark up the parts as they choose on some margin they weren't able to disclose to me, wouldn't tell me how much they paid for my part, just that they weren't gonna budge on what they charged me. Ladies, make sure you ask ALL the questions, don't let anyone think you don't know what you're talking about before you leave your car with a mechanic shop like this one. read more

Absolutely stole $400+ from me. Visited them in September 2023 because my A/C was not working properly. They informed it was just time to recharge the refrigerant and it would be around $430. I said this seemed steep and they said it would be $120 if I did nothing and just picked the car back up for their diagnostic fee, they gave a big pitch about why it cost so much for this type of refrigerant and their work includes a warranty and yada yada. I said fine go ahead. At which point I looked up Autozone's cost for a can of the refrigerant with a gauge and it was $150. So I called them to tell them not to do the work, I would just do it myself. A full 8 minutes had passed and they said "sorry, he's already finished and parking it now." $430 for 8 minutes of work must be nice especially when they don't stand behind it at all. Fast forward to the end of February, it finally had a day warm enough for me to turn my a/c on again and now it's doing the same thing it was when I brought it in. Called them up and they said yes I'm still in the warranty. Take the car in. They determine there is indeed a leak in the valve and argued with me for having the car for a few months since the last time, I informed them that the months between September and February are known as winter and I hadn't been using the A/C. They agreed to honor their service warranty and fix the leak but asked me to pay for the lost refrigerant which is magically now only $108 lol. I was about to resign and agree when Kyle kept on about how the leak wasn't present in September, I told him I think it could have been because that's a big coincidence, at which point he then scoffs and said FINE WE WILL JUST FIX IT THEN. When I went to pick up the car he handed me the card for another mechanic as a way to say he didn't want my business anymore, which was never ever ever in danger anyway. Now HERE I AM JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER and guess what isn't working again? So congratulations on the $430 for a job you clearly did not do. I'll find somewhere else to fix it this time. If this was the type of service I provided in my work I would be ashamed of myself. I cannot recommend against them strongly enough, they should scrape the "Honest" sign off their building and just be Negative One Auto Care because that's what you get with them. read more

I've had work done here on 2 of my vehicles. The service advisors are very knowledgeable. Everything is straight forward and the work is good and on time. read more

My experience was great. Even though I couldn't follow thru on fixing the issue that basically ended my 14 year old cars life, the staff were honest and clearly communicated the diagnosis and patient with accommodating my situation. I would recommend this business without hesitating! read more

Great service at a fair price. Justin and Collin always take great care of all my vehicles as well as other family members. I highly recommend this business. read more

Second time we've had to take in our car for service. No reason for complaint. They are friendly, seem to be good at what they do, and prices are reasonable. We'll definitely use them again should we need car repairs. Of course, my hope is that we never have to see them again. Unrealistic? Sure it is, but it's my review, I can be unrealistic if I want. read more

Call for a quote they said they would call me back so I called them again hour later .They told me they were waiting called the dealer for the part cost and I never heard from them again .I guess they did not want a new customer .A day later still never heard from them took my car somewhere else . read more

I have a Mercedes Benz that needed its B6 maintenance. I could not afford to go to the dealership so I went to Honesf-1 Auto Care. Unlike Firestone that cheat you and shows you a ton of things wrong with your car, the business name says it all "Honest" 1 Auto Care will only make you pay for items that "actually" need to be fixed at an affordable cost. Wheel Alignment was recommended but they said it's not currently necessary. Also, they will send you a text with all of the work that is being done on your car and what's recommended. No scare tactics, just excellent customer service , fast service , and they work on luxury European vehicles! Also loved that they left a snack and a nice message in my car when I picked it up!!! Small touches ! Highly recommend! read more

These guys are great! They have taken me as a walk-in and they have taken me as a call ahead. The prices are always right in line with the other comparison shopping I have done, and they have a REALLY nice waiting room with fast WiFi and nice coffee. I don't mind sitting here to do some work while they tale care of the car. The estimates of time and cost have been accurate. I've been back now two times, so they have serviced my 2007 Lexus three times now. I have every intention of continuing to come back. read more

Great experience! I dropped off a used car I was considering buying for a pre-purchase inspection. Collin helped me get setup and did a great job communicating throughout the entire process. They did a thorough job and pointed out a few issues that needed to be addressed, which I leveraged to negotiate a better price. Their experience was evident, as well as their namesake - honesty. read more

Guys are very nice and knowledgeable. They got me in and out fairly quickly and have great communication. However, buyer beware. Their diagnostic is overly thorough and they will take u for everything your worth. They gave me an estimate of $1700 which was way more than my mobile mechanic. They can charge this because they're a shop. But, for example, they told me I needed a new cabin air filter which I literally just replaced at an oil change last week! I'm not calling them scammers. They seem like decent people. But I'd only recommend them if money is no object to you. They tried to scare me because I'm a single female who probably wouldn't know the difference. I'm glad I got a second opinion. read more

This is my first time here, and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I came in on a Tuesday morning. They weren't busy so it didn't take that long for the service. You can get discount online. The person in front tells you about it. They don't make it a secret. You have the option for a copy and/or email about your service. They explain what services you might need in the future without any pressure of doing it now. The place has complimentary refreshments (soda, water, snacks) You can donate some money by the refreshments and that money goes to Hope Clinic (local clinic to provide health care to those who can not afford it.) I also love that they have a kids' play area. The place looks modern, clean, and new. The only issue, which wasn't a big deal to me, was I couldn't access their free WiFi. Overall, it's a great place that has great service. read more

No one "wants" to go have their car service but I can say this was a wonderful experience. We had a known issue and were concerned about other unknown issues. The staff were knowledgable, friendly and informative. They had taken photos of any of the concerns they found and even let us know which were important to deal with now and things that were not yet pressing. Best of all the lobby was wonderful! A magical coffee machine, snacks, soft drinks, magazines, TV, comfy chairs, free wi-fi, kids area . . . honestly they are lucky I left! read more

Great service!! Got my oil changed. They had complementary coffee while I waited. Clean place and great environment Will definitely come back read more

Really like Honest-1. I've been in now for various reasons four or five times and have had a great experience each time. Had a brake issue that was going to take a few hours, so the OWNER gave me a ride home in his own vehicle... and then came to my home and picked me up again to get me back to pick up the car. Along the way he explained their business philosophy and talked to me like a real person (not giving me a sales pitch). Great guy - sorry, I forgot your name! Their prices are good and I feel that they have lived up to their name by dealing honestly with me each time I've been in. Thanks, guys. read more

Had to get studs replaced on my tire. Kyle in the front was extremely professional. The guys in the back did a great job on my truck and got it back to me in a timely manner. Appreciate the professionalism and not making me feel like a dumbass and like I'm wasting their time like most auto repair shops read more

A few weeks ago, I visited Honest-1 Auto Care McKinney. It was my first time. It was clean and the staff was nice. They did my oil change in 45 minutes and handed me a few sheets of paper listing recommended repairs based on mileage. The billing person also told me he'd texted me the info. I glanced over the printout and left. Got home and read the text. The first thing it says is that I have a bad battery. Well fabulous, especially since we had a road trip the next day. Why couldn't they have pointed that out while I was at the repair shop? I called and the staff member said he'd failed to print out all the pages and he was sorry. I could come right in and they'd install a $200 battery for me if I'd like. Instead, I made a trip to AutoZone and paid slightly less. read more

I have an older truck, and it needed serious work. Honest One was able to replace my alternator quickly and easily, so when I needed some more major work, they were my go to - I live in downtown Plano, so this is a bit of a drive but I wouldn't go anywhere else. I was able to call ahead, and they had the parts ready to go. I dropped my truck off first thing in the morning, they drove me home, and I was able to pick my truck up in the afternoon after some serious overhauling. Great people, great prices, great work. Give them a try if you are looking for a new mechanic; you won't be disappointed. read more

dropped car off at 12:15pm waited until almost 3pm to check on status of estimate stated they would call back in 30-40 minutes but after an hour heard back nothing so I called abdomen around 4:15pm. car still was not ready with estimate and I told them to just pull my car back to the front as the close at 6pm and it is Friday and they do not open until Monday. I wasted almost $70 on left and half my day waiting for nothing. will never return read more

We've used this shop for both of our cars for maintenance and minor repairs. All of our interactions with Honest-1 Auto Care in McKinney have been stellar. Prices are reasonable, and service is top notch. I was hesitant at first to go to a shop with a claim of honesty in the name. However, this shop lives up to that promise. They provide reliable information, easy-to-understand explanations, and prompt service. If you want your expectations to be exceeded, visit Honest-1. read more

Everyone was very friendly and helpful, not to mention this is the cleanest auto-body shop you'll ever step foot in. I loved that they ran a thorough report on my car that allowed me to see the various levels of services that are needed or will be needed in the near future on my car. Service was quick and efficient. I will definitely be back. read more

I went for Oil change with coupon, include oil change + XX point inspection etc. They did oil change in time, but They didn't share inspection report. When asked they don't how much miles car will go on their synthetic oil. charges relatively high additional fee on top of coupon price except tax. read more

I took my older pickup in for some air conditioning problems. They did a great job in diagnosing and the repair was quick. They even saved me some money by finding their own coupon online! Good honest work. read more

I was told the alignment would be $60 then an hour later was told it would be $150 bc I needed a camber kit. I specifically called and said what amount will I be charged they said $150. I get there they charge me $178 due to $9 in tax and and $20 in shop supplies and other supplies!! They are NOT honest they steal your money. STAY AWAY read more

I needed new tires for my car and decided to take it to the new Honest-1 in McKinney, Texas. I called ahead to make sure they were open and when I told them what I needed, they verified my car type to make sure they had the correct tire sizes.

I will definitely have future car repairs performed here. read more

These guys did a fantastic job of taking care of me and my second hand car. I purchased from a second hand dealer and drove it up here and they carried out a full inspection for $10 supplying a detailed report and photographs that allowed me to sort an issue with car dealer. I use them for all servicing and repairs and trust their professional opinion and the expertise they show. They are also very patient with me when I ask them to explain things and I recommend them to anyone. read more

Up front, honest, prompt, and professional. They even use torque wrenches to correctly torque the lugs on wheels, which is the correct way to mount the wheels but is rarely done in many garages I've been to. Top notch. read more
