I'd like to highly recommend Joseph at Honest Auto Shop in Rowland Heights! I have a 2019 Toyota Camry, and recently the A/C stopped working. I took it to two different shops, and both told me the entire air compressor needed to be replaced, quoting me anywhere from $900 to $1,200. That seemed like a lot of money, and I was a bit skeptical--especially since Toyota compressors typically last over 100,000 miles. So I decided to get a third opinion and went to Honest Auto. I'm so glad I did! Joseph and his team took a closer look and found that it wasn't the compressor at all--it was just a small part, the fuse, that had gone bad. They replaced it for only $150. If you ever need car repairs, I strongly recommend getting a second opinion from Joseph at Honest Auto. They saved me a lot of money and were truly honest, just like their name says. read more

Excellent service. They're honest and straightforward. They won't overcharge you. Overall great customer service and they do it right

I've had my 2010 Acura MDX serviced by Honest Auto Repair for several years now. My car has reached 190,000 miles and it runs so well. Joseph and Alex will perform all the necessary tasks for maintaining a car in good shape and not sell customers anything they don't need. I trust them with my car and my family's other cars. read more

The service is very good and the price is cheap. They always advised me that not to spend if it is not necessary. What I experienced is same as its name - Honest. Highly recommended. read more

Carlos, the owner, provided great service. Buddy had a flat on a loaner Porsche. The cost of patching tires here is typically $25 but more higher end vehicles, they charge $35. Carlos was quick to assess the issue and informed us the tire was unpatchable due to the location of the defect on the side wall. Due to being unable to fix the patch but having had to remove the tire, Carlos charged $10 for the labor which I thought was more than fair. I thought this overall experience was great and would recommend this place. For the record, I hate it when places call themselves "honest" as it is usually a tell-tale sign of dishonest work. Fortunately, this wasn't my experience read more

I frequently go there for repairs and auto service. Oil changes flush my radiator get my belts replaced..

Had a terrible experience here the 2nd time I had my car serviced. A couple of weeks ago, I had my car serviced for oil change, tune up, suspension, and a couple more maintenance items. So it's a significant amount of money that I am paying. The job was finished in about 5 hours. Upon getting the car back, the owner told me that they noticed some vibrations which he suspects is a misfire. I did not personally experience any misfire while owning the car, and most importantly, did not have symptoms when I brought it to their shop. I decided to just take the car and observe what he was saying. A few days after, I inspected my intake tube was cracked and transmission breather hose detached from the firewall. I thought maybe I should just address these and perhaps the intake tube is the culprit of the misfire-like symptoms. Changed it, same symptoms. Finally, about 2 weeks after, I got a P0306 code, which means cyl 6 detected a misfire. Changed the coil myself, no help. I did not want to inspect nor change the plugs since I did not want to void any warranties on their end. Brought the car to their shop to inform them about the issue and I said that I suspect that the plugs are bad. Alex said it was all working properly. He switched the 5 & 6 coils to eliminate the possibility of the coil being the culprit. A few hours later, got the same code. I was told by Alex that I will be needing a valve adjustment to fix the issue. Brought it back the following week to have my valves adjusted. A couple of hours later, I was told that they did not continue with the valve adjustment and they did a compression test instead. They said that cylinder 6 had low compression. Gave me 2 options: (1) rebuild the engine (2) buy a new engine. I told him that I will have to think about it since it is a big decision that involves a lot of money. After a few days, with all fault codes cleared, I noticed that the CEL showed that I now have a P0305. Which means cylinder 5 is now the issue. I finally made a decision to inspect the plugs myself since it's basically a rebuild or a new engine for me anyway. Upon removal of the plug in cylinder 5, I noticed that it had a long hairline crack and looks in a real bad shape. Replaced it myself and the misfiring and rough idle is now gone. Misdiagnosed? Check! Rebuild engine X New engine X Dishonest? Check! Called to ask for reimbursement for the plugs and was told that they do not do that, only offered store credit. I had a good feeling about this shop before, but after this incident, I would say that they do not act and perform as good as the name of their company. Never going back. read more

Honest Auto Group - Bad spark plug - Auto Repair Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

When I walked in, and greeted with Alex, he helped me out really quick to order the parts for the brake job, everything is smooth and get the brake job done in a hour. The price is much better than the dealership trying to charge me and took much longer time to finish the job. I will bring my other car to do the brake job there next week. read more

Good service, the technician Mr. Alex is very nice. But the waiting area is like an abandoned room. Especially the dirty chairs.

My friend and I came in to get her tire pressure checked and they found a little metal stuck to the front right tire. Fortunately, it didn't go all the way through so they didn't have to patch anything & charge us. We were in and out of there within 10 mins. Thank you guys for your help!!! read more

I took my girlfriends car here to get it checked out because it wouldn't start, they called me and told me the engine had no compression and I pretty much needed a new engine. I don't have the money for that so I had it towed home and had a buddy come to look at it later, he checked the compression and it was fine and fixed my car for $100 parts and labor, so idk if these people are really dishonest or just bad mechanics read more

Honest Auto is wonderful. We've been their customers since 2011. Joseph and crew are trust worthy hardworking mechanics. Joseph speaks Mandarin Chinese which is super helpful for my parents. read more

I bright my Toyota Prius here for oil change and hybrid battery fan cleanup (60 k miles) which was recommended by Toyota dealer. Well...It's much cheaper (1/3 price) here. People here are friendly and professional. read more

I've never felt more at ease or in great hands than I have with this business. I was recommended by friends to take my car here after my local dealership tried to rip me off big time. Boy do they live up to their name! I first spoke with Joseph before bringing my car in and today I dealt with Alex. Alex was professional, straight forward and you can tell he knows what he's doing. He brought me the parts from my car to show me what needed taken care of & even show me what was still in great condition. While waiting on my car I overheard customers who were clearly regulars coming by for tuneups and they were serviced quickly and happily as well. I'm very glad I've found a mechanic to establish a relationship with who I can trust my car with and I will be telling everyone I know to take their vehicles here for service. To note, I drove all the way from Culver City to take my car here. That's how amazing they are. read more

I was having engine trouble and took my car to Alex. we discused what was wrong and he was very honest. he said he could do the repair but it was an easy fix told me how I could fix it myself. He saved me money. read more

I go back and forth between Honest Auto and Nutech depending on my car needs. I feel that they both have very good mechanics; however, honest auto is a lot more affordable and reasonable in prices in some aspects. In addition to their exceptional service, they are also very friendly and welcoming. I'm a little iffy on their brake services though. My bf and I went to get our brakes changed (2 different cars) there but were not impressed with the squeaks after getting them changed( -1 star). read more

My rear caliper on my 2011 4Runner broke and started leaking all brake fluid while I was driving from picking up my son from school. I didn't know what it was at the time but my brake wasn't working and I had to use my emergency brake as I pulled into the Arco gas station. Luckily Honest Auto group was in the same shopping center. I went in and I told them what was going on. I didn't catch his name but he was super nice. Right away he came looked at my car and told me what it was. He told me he had the part in stock and quoted me $220 which was for caliper part, fluid, labor and taxes. Seemed reasonable. My car was done in 1 hour! Great service, fast and professional. I'm glad they were here when I needed them. Thank you so much! read more

April 9, 2016 Fast and quick service. My fiancé and I came to get my oil change done. Place was highly recommended by the auto parts shop that my fiancé used to work for. Came here and they told us that it would be an hour to an hour and half wait, since they are busy and we didn't make an appointment with the place. Service was fast and truly "HONEST". Will definitely come back for my future oil changes! Guaranteed! Happy Saturday, my gorgeous YELPERS! read more

Honest Auto is the auto shop I trust. Joseph is very experienced and friendly. He is able to find out car problems in a short time and the price is reasonable. I have a 16 years old car, been to many auto shops and still runs unstable after fixed which made me worried when driving. That's when my friend referred Honest Auto to me. Joseph knows what's the problem right away and now my car is in a good condition and runs smoothly! I am very pleased to find Honest Auto Group and Joseph! :) read more

Have been coming here for oil change and other minor fixes without any problem until November 2017. Issue: grinding noise when I press my brake. Took my car in and they said it is no biggie and adjusted my handbrake and sent me off. I drove home and could not even lift the handbrake up at all once I parked. So I had to go back the next day( big hassle) to get it adjusted again. A day later, the gear shift indicator went off. So a month later, I am still hearing the grind sound from time to time. So taking it to Honda for a thorough check. read more

Honest Auto Group is amazing!!! They treated me like family and the owner, Joseph even said, "Don't worry, I will take care of you!" True to his word. My ac had been broken for over a year and the other place, in Brea, we took my car to, ripped me off on services putting me +$600 at a loss and left me with an ac unit that was still broken. So, when my T.A. gave me information about Honest Auto Group and how they could fix my ac, I jumped at the chance. They put the dye in to try and find the leak, gave me a new valve, and replaced my compressor unit. It works like the first day I got my car!!! They told me what they were going to do upfront and updated me on what changes had to be done. They gave me the best price for the service and now I'm wondering where have they been all my life. Thank you so much Honest Auto Group! Your New loyal customers, Vincent and Rachel Sanchez read more

They live up to their name. They're honest about what your car needs and will explain it. They will review your options and allow you to decide with no pressure. I appreciate honesty! read more

Joseph is true to his word. All three guys there are cool. The customer service is good! I have been coming to this place for oil change service (and other services) for a few years already and I plan to continue coming. Thank you, Honest Auto Group! read more

I've been coming at Honest auto. Their price is reasonable and affordable and they explain what exactly what is needed if needed for your car. read more

One of my relatives had referred me to Honest Auto Group after an accident and I would say it had been a very pleasant experience throughout the whole process. Joseph is very friendly and patient and explained to me what would be involved in the repair process including the cost. Due to the extent of the damage of my car the repair took a few days and Joseph contacted me to update me on the progress. I would definitely recommend this place if your car needs repair work. read more

If your a customer whom has unknowingly took your vehicle for checkup or any form of maintenance at this location extending from early as January 2016 to current. If you notice your vehicle that something is off or doesn't seem to act properly take to another mechanic for immediate inspection. My friend has the same model car as me and we usually tend to take it to the same mechanic. But one day my friend decided to take it to try someplace new and that was a mistake that turned into a headache and nightmare. The vehicle was in clean fully operation mode going in for a normal transmission flush and top off on fluid levels. Flash forward a month later, vehicle begins to struggle to turn over, maintenance lights in solid state. Horsepower was the first sign that something was up and it just wasn't normal because it would struggle to reach speed limits at time. Vehicle would automatically shut off when in stationary mode while PARKING! How could a common routine maintenance issue turn into a near death experience if the car would shut down on the freeway. Please look up their business on BBB.org, they are unable to resolve issues by customers, so it tells you something. My friend said the older customers that went to that place need to come forward and file complaints as well. Because he overheard from a guest, "why does it take 6 times to fix a oil leak?" as the mechanic had like no clue, I would not trust any mechanic that cannot even answer that. There's a huge sign that once read " Purrfect Auto Service" and weren't they involved in scamming customers for work not done on their vehicles? read more

Gave them a chance and had a simple oil change job for them to do, left the shop finding out they left my oil cap lose so all the oil leaked out, and I drove without oil in my engine, irresponsible and sloppy, I felt my life had no value over the few extra minutes they could have spent to make sure everything was fine before their customer left the shop, would not recommend to anyone to values solid quality work. read more

Went here for the first time and they were great. I got brakes done for my Lexus GS350. Had to replace the pads and rotors. They were so quick with the service. I also got an oil change at the same time. I was in and out in less than an hour. I will definitely be back for any services that is needed for my car. Plus they are really reasonable in regards to the pricing for the service. Keep up the good work guys! read more

5 STARS Yeah bitches, you see 5 stars! You know what that means! I know, it's not a restaurant, but servicing my baby G37 is important, too! After all, it takes me everywhere! So this shop is one of my go-to places when I'm not able to go to the spots that usually hook me up in OC/South Bay. I've been coming here off and on for about a few years. I used to bring my RSX in all the time for oil changes and headlamp replacements. Alex, the manager, is awesome. There were times he would do random stuff for free (like replacing my headlamp and go through SHIT since replacing RSX headlamps are a BITCH). The guys here REALLY live up to their name and don't rip you off at all. read more

I have been taking my car to this shop for years and those people are honest. On July 9 2011, I took the G37 for a 1st oil change and the new girl who was working front desk said the oil change will cost $27.90. I was like what the hell this girl must be crazy or she think i'm stupid. I was going to say forget this place and head out to different shop. Alex who is the manager at this location came out and told me that there is a $4.00 extra change because it has a large front panel. I told him that my 2010 Acura TSX also have front panel and I didn't get that extra charge. $27.90 cost is similar to dealer price and I can get a car wash for free. He told me extra labor will be extra charge due to large panel. I was like understandable because of extra labor. After the oil change was done Alex told me that he won't change the extra $4.00 because it had a small panel. WOW they are honest. read more

Okay.....if you noticed, most of the people giving 5 stars are girls who don't know much about price comparison among auto repair shops. Here is the deal with this place. They will tend to charge you higher compared to a lot of other places, mainly because their rent is more expensive since their shop is bigger. The Taiwanese guys owner is very nice, but there is another partner who is white or hispanic and he will tend to charge you higher and not give any discounts. Anyways, for all you people that know your car stuff, you wouldn't want to come here. There is nothing that great about this place. I felt ripped off going to them and will never go there again. read more

First time coming here to get an oil change on my 2007 Toyota RAV4. Everyone is so nice and explained everything to me very kindly. Not to mention the very cheap price of $22.90 on an oil change. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I recently found this place a few months ago and I am very happy with the work they do. I've been taking all my cars there ever since and as an ex mechanic (a damn good mechanic) that got injured and can not do most of the work myself, Alex (Manager) took care of my babies. For an ex mechanic to trust another mechanic should be enough to make you realize that Honest Auto Repair can be trusted whether if you're a kid with a first car or someone who doesn't know about cars. I have a 1964 1/2 Mustang, they are converting it from inline 6 to a V8. They took about 3 weeks because of parts being ordered from other states. Power disk brakes in front, suspension (front and rear), and a full engine swap with trans all done...happy with pricing and satisfied with warranty and the job. I don't even live close to Rowland Heights anymore but would take the drive to Honest Auto Repairs, just cause I know they won't BS around like other shops and get the job done with affordable pricing. I recommend this shop to all yelpers, friends, and family. For those complaining about the pricing, if you can't afford it (prices are reasonable if not lower than other competitors) then you shouldn't be owning a vehicle. read more

Have always been hesitant about bringing cars to any auto repair shop. Since my mechanic brother has always worked on our cars. Unfortunately, I needed to get my window fixed ASAP because It wouldn't roll up or down anymore and was half way opened. Rain was forecasted to come in the next couple of days. I started shopping around for an auto shop. I must say, when I called Honest Auto Repair, I immediately felt comfortable with what I heard and brought my car here. The window mechanism was fixed within an hour, he even showed me the old part that had snapped. I am really impressed with the quality of service, especially for an auto repair shop. They were fairly priced, actually a bit lower than the other places. Will definitely return here for oil changes and other needs! read more

I went to change the oil on my car Alex check my car for what I need to do he was very nice and the price are good I will go back.

Accidentally found this place. My wife's car needed some maintenance, oil change, AC repair, and brakes. And I needed an oil change and transmission fluid flushing. All these costed me less than one transmission fluid flush from the dealership. Plus they knew exactly what was wrong with my wif's AC unit without having us explaining. They are very knowledgeable and like their name said, honest. They have earned my trust and will continue to visit for my current and future vehicles. read more

Amazing service - and honest - which is the most important feature of an auto repair shop given how easy it is to be ripped off. Yes, the prices are a fraction higher than a discount repair shop, but still much, much cheaper than a dealership (and more honest too) and I'd rather pay an extra few dollars and know I'm getting good, reliable service than be cheap with my car and end up wasting money or getting more problems. Staff is very friendly, helpful and always willing to do a little extra to keep customers satisfied. No hesitation bringing my car here, and I recommend this shop to all my friends - especially for those with nicer cars out of the original warranty. read more

I was driving back to LA when my old vintage car showed some overheating issues. I was very lucky to have been next to this mechanic when that happened. Alex was very kind and even if he was very busy, in 20 minutes he was able to take a look at my car, fill up the radiator, check that everything was working properly and reassure me that I could safely drive back home. At the end, as he found out quickly, it was a dashboard gauges issue. Thank you Alex for your patience and professional help. I will be back for sure. read more
