I had no idea where to take my car for work. After doing a lot of research, I chose A-1 Expert. I definitely made the right decision. After talking with Chris and watching the crew in the shop, I felt at ease and knew I could trust them to do too work. Chris kept me informed when a wear sensor needed to be replaced and wasn't available. Let me know he could get it next day. When I picked up my car the next day I knew that I had picked the right shop to trust with my car. Chris has a world of knowledge in car repair, and a great personality. The shop was very busy, yet he still took time to talk with me 1 on 1 and answer all My questions. And the price,,,,,, it was at least 25% less than I would have paid in Oregon. Very reasonable. Oh, and when I got inside my car, I was really surprised. They cleaned the inside!!! I hadn't had a chance to do interior cleaning since I drove those 3,500 miles. So you can imagine what it looked like. I'm kinda embarrassed. Thank you Chris and everyone at A-1 Expert, who worked on & cleaned my car. I'll definitely return, and I definitely recommend this shop!!!! 5 stars

Their quote was $4400 less than the dealer and they actually solved the problem. The dealer was trying to sell me on a problem that didn't even exist with my car. To make it even better, Tom's was quicker than promised and came in $100 less than what they quoted me. I will always use Tom's in the future for mechanic work. Great people and very trustworthy.

He has now opened his own shop and I want everyone to know that since I first went him 5 years ago he has become the ONLY person I trust with my vehicles. His new shop is clean and well equipped.

I was told that they weren't responsible for any damages made while removing my dash cover meaning if they broke my dash they will not replace it. I didn't agree but was forced to sign a waiver if not the airbag safety recall would not be addressed. It was chevys mistake for the recall to begin with so anything in the process of correcting the problem should put them accountable for. My dash had no cracks chips or any damages before leaving my truck there. After picking up the truck I was infuriated. my dash was cracked in several major parts and is the only thing you notice as soon as you get in. I could understand one crack but as many as it has now , it should have 100% been replaced. they really f***** me. It is practically pieced together. I'm hesitant to even wipe it down. because of their recall now the appearance and value of my vehicle went down. it's embarrassin. how is that fair for the customer.

The service manager and mechanic were so helpful and made sure we were safe to proceed. They also provided connections we could check for my size tire. Thank you for your kindness!

My husband dealt with everything when it came to our cars. When he died, I was screwed. I called Honest-1 because my car would not start. Matt was absolutely the most amazing calming person I ever spoke to. He took care of everything. Of course I go back out in my car starts. I am bringing my car in - at least I don't have to get it towed ... and Matt gave me a little advice. Apparently if you drive your car less than 50 miles a week it's really bad for your battery. Matt, you are wonderful!!! I advise any woman who is floundering with having to deal with a car. Take your car to Honest-1. Matt is a gem to talk to and to work with. I can't wait to meet you on Monday, Matt.

When taking it to another mechanic, he told me that my oil was really dirty considering that you just recently did the oil change two weeks ago so that wasn't something I would want to hear. Not to say my car needs the work, (because before you even started the work, you gave me a car fax report on all the issues which i thought was "pushy". I think you could've done a better job addressing the reason for my initial visit....oil leak - not the other (100) reasons.
