I took my car into this shop not long ago as a repeat customer. The customer service was top notch and everything was throughly explained as to what needed to be done now and what could wait if needed. I was kept in touch regarding my auto-repair throughout the day. And the price matched what the gentleman at the counter told me it would be. My vehicle was definitely taken care of to put me back on the street safely. I can't thank them enough for their professionalism. 5 stars!! read more

Got my pre purchase inspection done with them and it was great. Done in about an hour and I got a full comprehensive report of everything to take home with me along with a report of the cars service history. Would absolutely go to them again! read more

Mark warden service advisor and Jamie Land technician were outstanding. Mark kept me informed about my vehicle AC. They had me in and out. I will be back ! read more

My car had an 'All-stop' clutch failure in S Daytona, last Tuesday afternoon. I called up Honest 1 Auto Care and spoke to Brad Dobbins, their Service Manager. He immediately dispatched a wrecker-truck to retrieve the car. The wrecker driver from Buddy's Towing, was very careful getting my car up onto the wrecker truck bed, and took it to Honest 1. Brad's people evaluated the damage, told me what parts were needed, and what the total estimated repair cost would be. Repairs completed by Wednesday afternoon, they sent a courtesy car to bring me up to get the car. Brad made this whole ordeal totally painless. So kudos to him, and to Ralph H, the technician who did the work. Highly recommended! Dave L read more

I called Honest1 Auto Care yesterday afternoon to see if they could look at "my baby" (Nissan Titan) to make sure everything was in good working order before my extended warranty expires in a couple days. They were able to get me in this morning! When I dropped it off, they gave me a ride to work. They kept me updated on the progress. They let me know when it was finished and sent a driver to pick me up. The guys at Honest 1 Auto Care are always great! When I walk in, it feels like I'm with family! read more

Very high charges just for an estimate it's not free. Ask questions before they even look at your car or truck.

One of the most professional and respectable places in the Daytona area. They will help you and give you an honest answer. It was a refreshing experience and I can't recommend them enough. Do yourself a favor and give them a call before going anywhere else with your car. read more

Clean and comfortable waiting area. Oil changed in a quick and efficient manner. Thanks Brad and JW!

Did not fix my problem! Charged me twice. You would think if you specialized in transmissions you would find the problem and not excuses for failure. read more

I had my oil changed and air filter changed. The staff was very nice and explained everything they were doing. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Brad and service team were great! car had issues after traveling 10 hours and they were able to figure out what needed to be done and got me back on the road! would highly recommend read more

I have nothing but good things to say about the service I received from Brad and Mark. I would recommend them any day. My Toyota is very satisfied. read more

I have been taking all my vehicles here for 8 years and will continue to. They are amazing from check in to cash out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Needed our Transmission Fluid & Filter changed on our 2002 Ford F150 Lariat 4X4, and the Air Conditioner recharged. We dropped off the truck in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. They did a full inspection on the truck, and sent us the results and before starting the work, we knew how much the approximate total bill would be, before they started the work. With having a truck with over 200,000+ miles on it, the truck passed with only a few minor explainable reasons all in all the truck was in very good condition. We paid around $1120, and well worth it, just to know that the truck is in very good condition, was a relief. I wish we would have done this before our 4000+ mile trip up to Wisconsin, Sturgis and back home, when traveling it's always in the back of your mind, if something will go wrong. Thank you Brad, we appreciated all your texts yesterday. read more

I feel like I should start with the staff. Michelle and Liz were both totally awesome. Their customer service was the stars and above. I literally couldn't have been happier and they were so kind in helping me figure everything out. The evaluation was done quickly and service also was completed very quickly, faster than I thought it would be. I really just couldn't be happier with this shop. Now my car is in very good working order and I know what needs to be taken care of in the future. I will absolutely return here every time. Also the work has a 3-year or 36,000 mile warranty whichever is longer. They do have a financing program to help with the more costly repairs. Shuttle service was not available. Also was very clean with two seating areas and a kid play area my daughter enjoyed. Services: Steering & suspension repair, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment read more

They tell you things need fixed that don't and charge outrageous rates. They even said my oil needed changed. I had it changed one week prior read more

Couldn't put wipers on right.really first time I used them they flew off. I had my 16 year old grandson put on a pair and they work great .maybe they should hire kids since their men can't do the job read more

Good quality work and very professional. I thought the costs were a little high but overall a job well done.

I stopped for a car wash and was so pressed with the inside and outside job they did, I went back later that day and had my carpets steamed cleaned! My 2002 Buick looks brand new inside and out!! Best service ever! Thank you Linda Steves read more

We just arrived in Port Orange, Florida, and started having trouble with our Jeep grand Cherokee that day. I Was given the name of honest one Garage and decided to call them. It was a couple minutes before closing time, but I did call and leave a message. They did not get back to me before the end of the day, but I was pleasantly surprised when Brad reached out about 830 that evening to see if anybody had contacted us and to see if there's something he could help us with. We made arrangements to take our vehicle in at 7:30 the next morning. They ran a diagnostic study and found multiple problems with the vehicle. They were able to fix our vehicle and have it back to us the following day. The things that impressed me the most about Honest one Is their wonderful communication. When we took our vehicle there that morning they gave us a ride back to the campsite and proceeded to keep in touch with us throughout the day with what was going on with our car. They did this through the entire time our vehicle was there. We were sent the diagnostic report via email which we were able to look over. Everyone we encountered was absolutely amazing. I felt like they understood us, and I felt that they were very trustworthy. When we talked to Brad, after our car was fixed, we thanked him and he told us that His father told him to always treat people the way you would want your mother or sister treated. It shows in everything that he did for us. They have a customer for life for whenever we come back to Port Orange. I highly recommend this place to anybody that has any car needs. read more

Even though they came highly rated, their quote to me was extremely high. Charging an estimated $280/hr labor charge, for parts totaling $200.00 and 10 hrs. labor. Secondly and most IMPORTANT, even though it was a very detailed total car quote which I appreciated; there was NO REASON to put my financial situation on the quote. That is NO BODY"S BUSINESS. Very POOR. My previous NJ mechanic said 4 hrs. $600 job, and another local site is doing it for 4 hrs. $800 total. Honest 1 said $3200.00 total. WTH. read more

Left feeling ripped off and having the same problems Brought my vehicle in suspecting that I needed a starter replaced. They confirmed I was correct. was quoted $1700 to replace my starter but they thought it could've been a bad battery that was my issue. They said they could replace the battery for $330. This is a $200 battery so time labor and shop materials somehow came to $130 but when I came into the store. They gave me a $400 pricing which was not the price told over the phone. just for a battery change mind you I came in to get a starter replaced. At the end of all of it, I still have the same problem And a new battery that I was overcharged for. Quoted from a few other shops that the job would be $160 in labor and the price of the most premium starter for my vehicle is $500 for an OEM part. even with that math it would never add up to $1700 with a brand new battery. these people are off of their rockers. Let me tell you if they have a massage chair in their waiting room. There is a reason. They are way over charging people. I Will never come back. Nor should you come to any of these honest-1 auto cares. read more

Prompt, friendly, great communication. Brad was very pleasant from beginning to end. The waiting area is super comfortable and clean. Not like a lot of grimey places I've been for automobile service. read more

friendly crew, great customer service, keep you updated every step of the way, thorough inspection report with pictures which made the whole car repair process a breeze and a positive experience. Definitively recommend! read more

I went in to figure out why my brake lights are not working and they charged me $238 to install new bulbs in my corolla. The labor charge was $199. I put up a youtube video showing the invoice and it's called "honest mechanic charges $238 to install brake light bulbs" read more

Honest1 Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - South Daytona, Florida

See all

They took great care of my Xterra quickly and efficiently. Communication was clear and answered all my questions.

I needed my car to be checked out before traveling long distance and had the pleasure speaking to Jameson Barkdoll @ S Daytona site who welcomed me at my car and heard what my concerns were and with caring ear stated he would take a look and make sure I'm taken care of . Such an amazing way to pull up to an auto car place named Honest 1 be greeted outside with asker and such authenticity.he told me to wait in the lobby well it wasn't just a lobby it had a massage chair , play area for kids , a gaming system for teens, lots chairs and Wi-Fi with coffee and tea and a computer if you didn't have one of your own. When I was commenting out loud in lobby how clean it was and what a great environment to be in waiting for your service to be done and felt immediately at home. At that moment the director of operations Ben Poisson started telling me about their history and being a family owned establishment etc and how great it was to work there and how he got the job and we had a real in depth discussion about life and how we perceive things with a positive outcome by letting go and trusting the process and knowing the best is coming . It was a very uplifting and refreshing convo as I was currently in between jobs and recreating for myself. The tech Jordan came out to give me an update that my Car looked good and checked everything out and was safe to travel and they didn't charge me . This place is best in class from welcome, discussions, calm environment and treatment provided. I'll top it off with the sign I noticed on the wall because truly Love never fails when we are being kind and supportive like being at home with family I'm grateful for the "love" provided . read more

The car is sputtering...answer: we will replace all of the coil wires, but don't know if that will fix it ($500)....why not just try one coil on the six spark plugs and not replace 5 unneeded coils? Crickets.... Same scenario on replacing all of the spark plugs...crickets We will flush the transmission fluid and see if fresh fluid will cure the problem: "no, doubt know if that will work, but it's worth a try" "Why would fluid cause a sputter?" crickets. Hundreds of dollars... "Oh by the way, we can repair the rest of the things we found wrong with your car for thousands of dollars...just not what you brought it in for" I'm a former bank president and ran a large software company...I may not know a lot about cars...but, do know bait and switch when I see it.... read more

I called to get a simple price on an auto repair and they can't even give a price without them having the VIN number. Whatever happened to common sense? read more

Very up front about about what was needed for my car and the options I had. They were willing to go the extra step to make me happy.

Theresa and her staff are the best. I don't go anywhere else since a mechanic and close friend recommended her to me about 5 years ago. They not only fix your car problems but also recommend what you also might do to further optimize your cars performance. I like that, want that. Excellent service. 5 stars. Mark Leonard. read more

Had a few minor problems with my car and scheduled an appointment. I was thinking that I may have to have new brakes. They did a full inspection on the car and gave me a great itemized statement showing all areas of concern with photos. Brakes were not anything to worry about at this time. I feel if I had gone somewhere else, they would have replaced the brakes anyway. The fact that they showed me the photos instead of just telling me that these things needed attention made me feel that they are being HONEST me. I would recommend this Daytona auto care to my family and friends. read more

Quoted $1500 from DISHONEST auto . Had repair done elsewhere for $149 !!! Wish i would have read the comments about this shop before i wasted my time .Shame Shame SHAM !! Dan the vehicle was looked at .There is no justification for this absurd pricing .Its called trying to scam a women . Your people tried for $1525 , then $1250 then $800 !! What a joke .. i couldnt have ran faster out of there ! read more

Great work and warranty on an older car. Good turn around. I will return for outstanding service.

I recently had my SUV sideswiped by a large truck. It looked like the fender was in need of replacing. I had a similar incident a few years ago in New Jersey and it cost me $600 to replace a small side panel. Eddie said to me as we walked to the car, "Let's see how lucky you got." He took a look and without a word, came back with a rag and his own scratch remover. A few sprays and a few wipes and the panel was as good as new. "How much?" I asked. "No charge." I was ready to give him a fifty just out of gratitude. "That was very nice of you," I said. "No problem. Now I know you'll be back if you really need me." And we will. That is called smart business. read more

I was so thankful that these guys were able to pinpoint the issue my Hyundai started having after the crazy dip in temperatures. They zoned in on the problem, gave me a fair price and had the job done in less than an hour after quoting me the price. They have an amazing lobby to veg in too! I was beginning to think I was going to need an exorcist; they simply advised the cold killed my battery. read more
