Report
I had a brake problem checked out at honest one. I spent 1100.00$ and continued to have issues. I bought it back a second time still having the same issues. I bought it to a different shop to find out the real issue. It was repaired at the second shop for 250.00$. I will not be returning to this shop.

Report
The crew at Honest 1 Auto rescued me after a catalytic converter theft. I don't live in Minneapolis, I flew into MSP facing a 3 hour drive home. I was back on the road within 24 hours with a newly installed converter and a CAT Shield to protect from further thefts of this type and an oil change. They were efficient, professional and extremely considerate of my situation. I cannot recommend them enough. Marc, Andrew and the whole team will take care of you.
