Always a wonderful experience! Price, service and timing. Their name matches their character - honest!

I googled this company. The reviews definitely match their service. Kevin was incredible beyond professional, personable, and very informative. He went over everything that they were going to inspect very clearly very efficiently, and there was not a question that needed to be asked after he went over everything with me. There was a shuttle service that was not operating that day and he kindly offered and paid for an Uber he scheduled for pick up to go home as well as an Uber to retrieve my vehicle after completion of the job. I will 100% be back here. The customer service & quality of work is outstanding. The location was incredibly clean and well kept. They kept me updated from the time the service began until the time the service was concluded. Everything was so well thought out and organized. This is truly an excellent company.The coffee was amazing for such a chilly day & just a very welcoming and professional environment. He even walked me to my car and thanked me and they left a snack on my steering wheel, which was just so extraordinary I highly recommend this company. Kevin and his team were incredible.

Great service at a great price! Everyone is super friendly and professional! Definitely highly recommended!

I was charged for a diagnostic that I didn't ask for and didn't need as I knew what was wrong with the car. The manager acknowledged my ire and gave me a break.


Nov 06, 2024

My car had fresh water intrusion from Hurricane Milton. Honest1 was able to run the diagnostics & discovered that only the JBE Module needed replacing & reprogramming. We also did a full oil & brake fluid replacement. The car runs like new again AND Honest1 was able to do it on time and under estimate. Thanks Kevin & Honest1 Gandy Blvd. You've come through again.

The professionalism out of this place is insanely good. A lot of stress is going around after the past hurricane but these guys did such a great job with making me feel comfortable and at ease with the state of my car. Kevin was super helpful and gave me all the information I could need to know.


Oct 06, 2024

A big thank you to Bobby and Travis for helping me out. Quick and honest service!


Oct 06, 2024

Eric was very polite and professional. I would definitely recommend them, especially to women that are uncomfortable in mechanic shops!

Honest1 Auto care did a marvelous job on my car when I broke town in Tampa, being out of state. The diagnostic is beyond what I ever experienced. Detailed to the T, kept me posted about updates, and they had me on the road again in a very timely manner. The price charged was absolutely reasonable as well.


Oct 06, 2024

I had an overheating engine, which is often a result of a leakage coolant and an issue with the radiator. I took my car here believing this might be the case. This shop charged me for the diagnosis and wanted to charge me over $1000 to put in a new radiator. I chose not to go through with it and purchased and install my own radiator for ~$200. This didn't fix the issue and 2 weeks later, I realized it was a broken cooling fan. So this shop was about to charge me 1k for a radiator I didn't need and never checked if it was a fan issue. They were nice enough service wise, but completely misdiagnosed my issue and were willing to take a huge amount of money from me based on it.


Oct 06, 2024

I needed a new battery and Jeff was honest and really helpful. He was able to quickly sneak me in to test it. I’ll be back for sure!


Oct 06, 2024

I’m very satisfied with the 5 star service that I received. It appeared that my car was very well taken care of and in the future I will use their service to keep my T-bird in tip top shape. Outstanding customer service and well appreciated.


Oct 06, 2024

Professional, friendly, courteous, and dependable service!! A pleasure doing business with!! Would recommend to all.


Oct 06, 2024

The best auto repair in all of Tampa Bay…courteous, good pricing, very transparent, keep you updated throughout the entire repair process and very friendly!


Oct 06, 2024

They really are honest at Honest1Auto Care! There are absolutely no high pressure sales tactics. They give you an honest report about what can wait until your next service. They also get you in and out super quick. And my daughter is a big fan of the complimentary snacks!

Honest1 Auto Care South Tampa replaced two tires on my car. They made a stressful situation bearable. Fair prices, clean waiting area (bonus points for snacks), timely service and the staff are professional and friendly. I will continue to bring my vehicle here.


Sep 06, 2024

They were up front and honest with me about by my van. They called me and let me know what was going on and the cost of it. Very friendly and professional. Cost eas way low than I expected, great auto company!


Sep 06, 2024

Darrin and Jeff provided great customer service, no pressure for “all the extra add on’s” most car shops bring up. Highly recommend.


Sep 06, 2024

Darrin and his team took excellent care of my BMW, at a beyond reasonable cost! I used to work at a BMW car dealership. I know great quality and care when I see it. Thank you, I will be returning soon when more service is needed. Much appreciated, Clarissa G. of South Tampa 💪😁👍🚘


Sep 06, 2024

Everyone there was truly amazing. They kept me updated at all times. I have my dream car back because of them when I thought she was done for. They were very honest upfront and throughout the entire process. I'm so glad I found them. Highly recommend! I drove my baby home yesterday

I am very pleased with their service. They are very kind and professional.


Sep 06, 2024

Kevin and his team never fail to make sure my car runs perfectly!


Sep 06, 2024

Prompt and great service.


Sep 06, 2024

Thank you Kevin for taking the time to listen and for all your help. I will keep recommending Honest1 Auto Care.


Sep 06, 2024

Top notch, fair, SUPER clean facility, mechanics were incredibly professional, communicative and highly knowledgeable. My 10 year old car had multiple issues I’d ignored for a very long time. They fixed it all and were NOT overpriced and didn’t try to “upsell” me on anything. I will be bringing my car here for additional needs!


Sep 06, 2024

Trusted reliable and willing to go above and beyond to help their customers. My go-to mechanics!


Aug 06, 2024

I sent my car here because my engine light was on. So they ran diagnostics and determined I had change the catalytic converter. It was changed and 2-3 weeks later the light comes back on and so I went back and they wanted to charge for another diagnostic which didn’t make any sense to me. I understand paying the first time but I should have to pay diagnostics again 2-3 weeks later. For a place called honest1 I don’t think that was an honest thing to do. I will not bringing my car to this place for any services anymore.


Aug 06, 2024

Kevin and his team are excellent. Me and my entire family bring all 6 of our cars to honest one on gandy. We have been coming to them for years because they are efficient, effective, very professional and they communicate (which is big for me). They will always give us solid recommendations and are always straight to the point and always on time. If there was an option to give 6 stars I would give them 7. Highly, highly recommend.


Aug 06, 2024

These guys are absolutely the best! I had Kevin for a service writer and he was fantastic throughout the entire experience. Gave me up to date news as they were working on it and was super friendly throughout the whole process. Definitely take your car here for your next service!


Aug 06, 2024

This is an outstanding business. Ive been driving for 40 years and this is the best service ever. Fast work - great transparency - fair pricing and most importantly they do the work right the first time. They are truly AWESEOMe- they have a customer for life!
