This is the first time being here and I found them just by googling. I was shocked when they offered to drive me home and then they came and picked me up when the car was done. Who does that nowadays? The shop and waiting room was really nice and the people extremely nice!!! My hats off to this company for an outstanding job! Other shops should take note on how to run a shop cause apparently they just set the bar really high.

Great 5-star review Christopher! Sounds like the guys at the desk are hitting on all cylinders. It's very important to us that every single customer that comes through our doors gets the same treatment as you did. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we're doing. Looking forward to seeing you and your 2002 Volvo S60 again. Owner, Joe Koehnen, Honest-1 Auto South Elgin.

Great experience today. I went in for an oil change and was told when they realized my car required an upgraded filter about the added cost. They also did a free inspection and rotated the tires.

Tanhnoila, thanks for the 5-star review. I'm glad we were able to provide you with a great experience today. We really do appreciate your business and for taking the time to let us know how we're doing. Owner, Joe Koehnen, Honest-1 South Elgin.

Everytime I visit the Honest 1 Auto care, I am in awe at the professionalism, the clean beautiful environment, and how extremely educated the employees are. I had a lot of work done on my vehicle today which I did not expect but was treated with respect and was well educated by the employees. I was able to get a great deal and received an awesome warranty. I loved all the refreshments in the waiting area and the cookies they left in my car for me. Overall they made a not so good experience a pleasurable one! Thank you! You Rock!

I'd like to share my positive experience. Came into Honest-1 with a car that was new to me. I asked for an oil change and had a 30 point inspection suggested. Joe's crew handled the situation with utmost care. I received an awesome digital inspection that included pictures from angles that I could never see on my own. I even received a video which provided evidence of a part that needed replacement due to age. I was happy to discuss the important items and sort them right away, and the day 2 items which could be scheduled for a later date. Mainly I was able to get the service I needed, a heads-up on a couple of items that needed attention and the transparency and honesty that I was hoping for. I would give an A+ to the staff and the mechanics. They've been empowered with the newest (technically advanced) tools to make the experience awesome. Thank you for a job well done!

Kevin, I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed your first experience at Honest-1 South Elgin. We work very hard to make sure every car that comes into our shop gets a thorough health inspection. Hope to see you again next time you need service done on your Honda Civic. Owner, Joe Koehnen, Honest-1 Auto South Elgin.

TEN PLUS STARS....Family owned business..HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to all. We have been loyal customers on our 2003 H2 Hummer every since we received their coupons in the mail for an oil change a few years ago. We were impressed when they offered me a free ride by the owners brother. From the clean waiting room which offers a play area for kids, tv, snacks and coffee and soda all for free. They are very Friendly, Honest, Professional. They offer coupons online and we took advantage of it for a front-end alignment, and an coupon for receiving from $20 off to $100 off depending on how much the service is. On our last visit we have seen an older professional Woman that was there before and she also had nothing but positive experience from this business. I hope you open a place up in Wisconsin where we are moving. Thank you again for offering such a family friendly experience. TEN STARS to all your mechanics that worked on our Hummer A special Thank you to Ramon. To the mechanic that repaired my front end alignment and tire rotation it was very thoughtful for you to leave a small package of cookies with a thank you card from Honest-1 Auto...Nice touch...Thank You again. Tammy

Tammy, thanks for this great review! We really enjoyed working on your 2003 H2 Hummer. We’re going to miss it. Enjoy beautiful Two Rivers WI. Owner, Joe Koehnen, Honest-1 Auto South Elgin.

I have had my 2013 Town and Country worked on twice now, and have been extremely satisfied! Ramon has been great to work with and was able to let me know what was wrong and what needed the most attention. The mechanics took photos of the vehicle to show me what needed to be fixed. Highly recommended.

The employees are friendly and responsive. Dan patiently explained all the issues with my car and called me when it was ready.

Thank you for the 5-star review Felisa, and thank you for continuing to trust us with your 2015 Jeep Cherokee. Our service desk aims to get your vehicle in tip top shape while making easy to understand recommendations to keep it that way! Hope to see you again! *Owners, Joe and Melanie Koehnen, Honest-1 Auto South Elgin.
