Blaine Auto Repair

Fixed our car and now runs great.

Great honest customer service. Make you feel valued as a customer.

I went into Honest One Auto Care to field questions about appointment availability. The guy at the desk was visibly irritated by my questions. This experience deserves one star because I believe he is either management or owner. I receive better customer service from teenagers at the Taco Bell next door.

I called to make an appointment for my '93 Volvo and Josh was super professional and very nice. After telling him what was going on with my vehicle, he recommended to me that I go to another place that would be able to help. So while I didn't actually make an appointment to come in, I was just super impressed with his professionalism and giving me solutions without me having to bring my car in just to be told to go somewhere else. Considering I tend to put off bringing my car in to be fixed because I've been ripped off A LOT, it's refreshing when I feel like an auto repair shop is actually being honest with me. I'll definitely bring my car here for basic maintenance next time.

Extremely easy in-and-out when I had a check engine light on. The staff was warm and fun, they told me exactly what the light meant and what to keep an eye on, and had be back on the road in 10 minutes - with no charge. I'll be a returning customer, for sure.

Truly honest I felt ,. But it again depends who is supervising the job and technician ..some of them are excellent in service and supervising and always ask you & explain you before doing anything / add to the bill. That's really appreciated. Thank for being here in Coon rapids.

Fantastic people to deal with!!

I never write reviews but I was so impressed with the service I received that I felt compelled to give them their due. What started with a discussion of a mix-up with a promo card used on the last visit, ended with the staff going above and beyond any of my expectations. They made sure I was taken care of and demonstrated that I'm truly valued as a customer. I highly recommend Honest 1 of Blaine - the staff definitely goes the extra mile to earn/keep your business.

I Highly recommend Honest One Auto Care of Blaine. I used to do all of my own work until I used them and their pricing is hard to beat. In addition the name is as it implies. I purchased a vehicle that had about 69k miles on it and had them do an oil change. The service technician had informed me that there was a seal leaking on the vehicle. Instead of trying to sell me on them repairing it he told me I should bring it to the dealership as it should be covered under warranty. It was covered and likely saved me a couple hundred dollars! I used to sell auto parts to commercial accounts for a nearby auto store and can tell you that Honest One in Blaine is a solid business and I would recommend them to anyone!

Please take my review for what what it's worth. Although I've been to this place twice, I've not yet had work performed by them. The first trip occurred in Jan of 2014 when I took my 5 year old Honda in for an oil change and was told the cylinder head needed to be replaced. Very serious. Very expensive. I took it elsewhere for a 2nd opinion and it turned out the head was fine, but one of the valves was stuck. That was 30,000 miles ago. More recently, I bought a used car for my teenage son for $1,500. I knew the front end needed work when I bought it. I decided to try Honest-1 again. Cost at H-1 to replace right and left strut assemblies and sway bar links was just under $1,100. I wasn't prepared to put that much into the car, so I went elsewhere and the total bill was $545. To be fair to H-1, their quote was for high-end strut assemblies at $288 each. I asked for lower-end struts at other place believing the old car wasn't in need of top line parts. The mechanic at the other place said his work and parts have same 12 month/12,000 mile warranty, so he's particular about the parts he uses, but agreed with me and chuckled at the idea of putting expensive struts on a car with so many miles on it. The lower end strut assemblies were $165 each and his labor cost was much lower. My experience with H-1 is that they are very nice and seem to have a sincere desire to service their customers. But I believe they are over-priced and urge caution when told of need for significant repairs.
