South Elgin Auto Repair

Would highly recommend this automotive shop! Our family was scammed and duped by an automotive shop in Elgin, and this shop helped us figure out what they did wrong and helped fix it for cheap. Extremely professional, kind, and punctual. They send pictures of what they find wrong with your car and explain what needs to be fixed. Will be coming back for all our car needs! Thank you, Honest-1.

Had them change oil pressure switch and they did great. Was accommodating on the price and did excellent work! Definitely trust worthy people doing amazing work.

would definitely recommend! we were scammed by the pitstop auto care in Elgin, so we brought it here for a second opinion and they told us exactly what was wrong (pitstop charged us $600for brakes, then wanted to charge and extra $500 for wheel bearings when we took it back and said something was wrong) Honest-1 told us there was nothing wrong with the wheel bearings, but pitstop did forget to put parts back on our car, causing the noise. we will definitely be going back!

I typically work on my vehicles myself, but sometimes I do not have the tools and equipment to do the job correctly. I have a hard time trusting mechanics as I have horrible issues in the past. But this place proved to me there are still honest shops out there. With knowledgable staff and trained technicians they were able to quickly identify a distributor issue on my 98 silverado. Once they told me the issue I could have replaced it myself, but with their fair pricing, accurate diagnosis, and how quickly they were about getting back to me I let them do the job. It went so well I brought my Saab 97x that needed a ball joint and was having evap codes. I have a code reader and replaced multiple parts in the Evap system with no resolve. They quickly found the solution, and had it up and running in no time. They kept all old parts to show me, took pictures, and communicated via text, emails and phone calls. I have never had this amazing service at any shop I have been to. The service was amazing, the staff was well trained and they backed their honest commitment. Thank you Honest 1, you are the cream of the crop and I will be sending my family and friends to you from now on.

Great place to get an oil change! Wonderful people and a great waiting room. Car always returned in excellent manner.

The staff here is very friendly and give a good explanation of the repairs needed. I have been here several times and will continue to bring my vehicle here. Repairs are done in a timely manner which is super important to me. The last time I was there my Service Advisor was Bob. He was great, very friendly and knowledgeable about my car. I will continue to bring my car here for my service needs.

Honest-1 definitely lives up to there name, i get treated an a professional manner. I leave feeling my car and I are important to them my safety a most cost effective ways of service

They did a amazing job on my bmw 750li. They’re reliable and very honest with reasonable prices.

Have a beat up pickup truck I bought to use to haul furniture and stuff around. Had a weird noise, was told by several friends honest one was the place to go. I have worked in several industries that over the last 15 years makes me not trust anyone. Ramon and his crew were very professional and completely honest about the whole thing. I was expecting to be told things like, if you don't change the air filter the truck will explode. Instead I got an honest answer, and the greatest deal ever. I recommend anyone, especially those who aren't the most mechanically informed bring your vehicle here. They hold true to their business name. As long as I live in the neighborhood, they will have my business.
