I am not one to typically write reviews but Javier and his team deserve their credit! I have been coming here since 2018 and they have worked on my Audi,Lexus,toyota,honda and Mini from transmissions , brakes, AC Etc. and over the years they have saved me thousands! They perform quality diagnostics and work. Javier will stand by it! If you have any work done and for whatever reason have any issues with it or the part fails I have personally seen Javier go out into the bay and start turning wrenches ensuring the job is superb and you leave satisfied. Jessie always does an outstanding job communicating with me on what failed and what needs to be replaced and most of the time with different options all at very reasonable prices when compared to other auto shops. Jessie always takes a little extra care of me and honors my military service by providing a very much appreciated military discount. Thank you honesty automotive for keeping me on the road all these years. Looking forward to the next time my cars need service to come see yall!

I’ve been bringing my vehicle to Honesty Automotive, Inc. for years, and there’s a reason I continue to come back. Finding an automotive shop you can genuinely trust is important, and they have consistently earned that trust. I especially appreciate that I never feel pressured into repairs or services I don’t need. They’re straightforward about what needs attention, their pricing is fair, and I always leave feeling confident that the work was done right. Honesty Automotive truly lives up to its name. After years of great service, I’m happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy automotive shop.
