Car was running very rough and with a commute of 35 minutes wasn't wanting to drive home like that. Called and they said they could look to see if driveable. Found the problem and was able to squeeze me and fixed it that day. Honest isn't just a name. Felt that they gave options that I could do and I added extra services as to save me in the long run. Couldn't be happier and even gave me a ride back to work (save me on an uber). Will be seeking their services again.

They have performed outstanding work on at LEAST 4 different occasions! And I'm not talking changing spark put. I'm talking about some serious work. THANKS JOHN!!!

Very reasonable guys helped me out at a reasonable rate

This auto repair garage lives up to it's name. I had taken my car to another garage before bringing it to Honest and I would have paid close to $1200 for repairs I did not need. Honest treated me fair and I paid under $800 to finally fix my car. Because I am female the other garage was going to take advantage thinking I wouldn't get a second opinion. The guys at Honest are great!

Fast friendly service. Reliable estimates.

I brought a 1978 motorhome with overhearing and rough idle issues to the crew at Honest Automotive. I have been dealing with this issue for years and recently traveling through the Badlands was extra difficult. John, Joe, and Drew were excellent regarding making time for me and getting me in the day I called for diagnostics. Within two days they had solved both problems at a very reasonable rate. I cannot recommend this shop high enough and they went above and beyond to get me back on the road quickly. Thank you!!!!!!

This place looked a little sketchy at first but Do Not judge a book by its cover. John was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and was able to get me in quickly to have my truck fixed. (Other places booked me out 2-3 weeks). He kept me up to date on all the details and was very reasonable with me. The truck has been running great for a good while with zero issues and I have nothing but good to say about John and his techs! Highly recommend!

These guys were able to get me in on short notice. Fast service and very affordable.

I have known John for years. He is the best in the business. I have had countless times where John has gotten me in on the drop of a dime, and has fixed the issue the right way the first time. His prices have also always been below the competition and I recommend all my friends and family to his shop every time.

We needed our 1989 Ford motorhome to make it another 1500 miles to get us back home again in Indiana; but she was leaking power steering fluid something fierce. I fully expected it to be the pump but John said "it's your lucky day" - was just a ruptured return hose. I actually called a few min before they opened and John answered and met me at the shop. After a couple short minutes under the front end, he made the diagnosis - nobody had the specific Ford hose, so John masterfully made a standard hose work. And in just a little over an hour total, John had my family and I headed back to the Hoosier state - about 3-6 hours quicker than I thought and about 300-500 dollars less than I feared. John is honest, genuine, and like someone else already said, made it feel like a friend was helping me out rather than a complete stranger. Thank you John and Honest Automotive. Maybe I'll see you again someday.

We are from Missouri, driving a Class A motorhome. Ran out of transmissions fluid and John came to where we were and put fluid in the RV. He was on his on time and could have gone home but, came and helped us. He even called a repair shop for us!! Thank you so much you are a truly great person!!

We were on vacation in the Black Hills and arrived in Rapid City at the end of two solid days of driving with an unsettling noise coming from our engine/wheel area. We called the dealership for our vehicle, and multiple other garages and none had openings for a week. We were far from home, stranded, and ripe to be taken advantage of. John got us in, identified the problem and what would be necessary to repair it. He was fair and friendly, the cost was reasonable, and above all he was honest with us (as the name implies). Whether you are traveling and in need as we were, or live in the Black Hills, Honest Automotive is a trustworthy place to have service done.

My wife and I came to Rapid City for vacation. Our old Chevy would not hold its serpentine belt due to a damage power steering pump bracket. John searched for parts for our old truck with no avail. John straightened the old bracket and it now works as good as new. John even worked on Saturday to help us. I highly recommend Honest Automotive for your auto repair need.

These guys are cheap and they know what there doing..

We are from Sioux Falls and here for a convention. Our brakes got bad very quickly and we were worried that we wouldn’t make it back home safely. I found John on the Internet and saw that he had an excellent rating, so we called hoping and praying that he could get us in and could fix the problem. He did and I was very pleased with not only his work, but his awesome attitude and kind spirit. Thank you, John. You were a true life saver for us! Keep up the excellent work!

John's always taken car or our families vehicles! Only place we will ever go and only place we trust!

We were travelling through Rapid City on vacation in August and something underneath the car began to drag. I looked up auto places in the area and we found Honest Automotive. We dropped in without an appt and John went out of his way to help us even with the shop being very busy. He bolted it up and we were on our way again and also with a smile and very reasonable. Thank you John. Mick and Mary Kay Klabunde Surprise, Az

John was awesome. We were traveling through in a class C motorhome and was having issues with loss of power. He loaned us a car so that we could go sightseeing while he fixed the motorhome. Actually took the time to diagnose the issue and got the job done right. Highly recommend him to anybody. Thanks John!!

Good people honest help!

Can I give more than 5 stars?? A short overnight trip to SD left me and my family stranded in Rapid. John went above and beyond to help me out and get us safely back on the road home. I have no doubt that he made my vehicle a priority that day and quite literally saved me hundreds of dollars in hotel and travel expenses related to his quick diagnosis and repair of the problem. I can't thank you enough, John. Your customer service was exemplary and I felt like an old friend was helping me out, not a complete stranger. Your name says it all...Honest Automotive.

Great friendly shop... Found the problems and fixed them. What more can.you ask? ☺️

Took good care of my brother's truck.

Friendly and stand behind their work

John was easy to talk to and explained things clearly. I've dealt with other mechanics that have spoken to me in a demeaning and belittling manner and John was definitely NOT like that. He was flexible with ordering parts and got the repair done quickly. I've had my vehicle back only one day so hopefully, mechanically, the repair was done well and holds up. He installed a used transmission in a PT Cruiser and so far so good. My other vehicle, Chevy Traverse, is in a different shop for four weeks now...I wish I had taken it over to Honest Automotive instead.

The only mechanic I trust with my car....he fixed my car a few months ago and not even so much as a squeak to it. :)

Quick and less than quoted.

good honest work.

Offered good assistance in the U-Haul rentals

John took care of me right away! 4WD broke down during a winter storm. They were able to diagnose and fix the problem within a day. They have also worked on my other vehicle's alternator and got me back up and running! Great service! I would DEFINITELY recommend them!

Excellent work! The repair was done rapidly and I was informed of the problem and the cost to repair. I would recommend this repair shop to anyone needing automotive service.

Was able to quickly diagnose my problem and set up an appointment to fix it. The quote was reasonable and they even notified me of worn parts I could replace during the repair for cost without charging extra labor. Very satisfied.

Honest, efficient and they do an amazing job!!! John is the only mechanic I trust to work on any of my vehicles.

Water pump went out on a Sunday he got it in first thing Monday identified the issue and parts/labor was beyond fair and reasonable!

Our car began missing as were leaving for a 500 mile trip. John fit us in, diagnosed, ordered and replaced a part within 90 minutes. We didn’t have to miss a beat. Friendly and thorough auto care.

John has always helped me out with a vehicle if I'm in a bind. Transmission was acting funny and he took it head on and found the issue quickly and truck runs like the day it came off the lot, and best part was no new transmission like I thought.

Honest Automotive is the best. Small town hospitality in a big town is rare. John does what right for the customer and I'd take my vehicles to him anytime and have for 10 years!

He quoted the repairs and did a great job for what he quoted, would tell others about my great experience.

Always provide great service and an honest opinion of what my fleet of vehicles need.

Had my brakes relined.They told me when to bring it in and when i could pick it up and the van was ready to go when they said it would be done.They did not try to do a bunch of add on work. Easy to deal with.

They me informed me of the result immediately after checking the computer codes (misfire of all 6 cylinders ). They told me the possible causes and suggested the least expensive solution (replace spark plugs). They continued to test and ensure all problems (1 malfunctioning ignition coil) were identified and fixed in the most economical manner. They called and informed me of the status each step of the way. They told me to bring it back if the check engine light came back on. I felt involved during the whole process.

always good service at a reasonable price.

We had an issue with our Traverse's radiator fan staying on after shutting the car off. Rick treated us like family both on the phone and in person when explaining to us what he thought the issue was. He made us feel like he truly cared for us and getting our car fixed and back to us in the quickest and most cost efficient way. John seemed extremely knowledgeable, and treated us with respect. He answered our questions, and encouraged us to come back if we had any further issues. Honest Automotive is a friendly, honest, neighborly experience that I would recommend to anyone.

I've been bringing my truck to be repaired by Rick and Jon every time I need any repairs. They are always straight forward with me about costs and I can always trust them! If your looking for a great local place for repairs look no further then Honest Automotive!!

Very thorough, considerate, reasonably priced

They did a good job diagnosing my problem, which was a bad water pump. They repaired it within the time frame they promised, and at the price quoted. I will definitely use their services again.

I brought my car into you guys and you had it in and out, running again. I am so great full for all that you have done. Thank you so much!

Friendly staff and fair prices. They seem genuinely interested in providing high quality and honest (as the name states) service.

The service we received at Honest Automotive was outstanding! Within minutes of bringing our vehicle in, John did a quick diagnostic check and Rick order our part and scheduled an appointment! When the part was in we simply dropped off our vehicle and picked it up the same day. Thank you John and Rick for the outstanding maintenance and customer service. We have known both these professionals for many years and we've recommended Honest Auto to everyone who needs their autos worked on.

I have nothing but praise and respect for this business. John and Rick are two of the nicest and most sincere people I've ever dealt with, two traits that I have not had much luck finding in the past with automotive repair shops. They went to great lengths to ensure that they got to the root of my problem, fixed it, and that my vehicle left the shop working great without sending me to the poor house! I would recommend these guys to anyone all day long.

Service was prompt, professional. Staff was very helpful and courteous. Went out of their way to make my visit a good experience (even when I had a problem with my key fob).

They really took the time to explain what was wrong and outlined all the costs. Service was great and people very friendly and nice to deal with.

Saved me a lot of money after my AC went out. Were honest with me from the beginning. Very quick too. Thanks guys!

I took my business vehicle into Honest Automotive to have them check the air conditioning. They priced several compressors for me and told me the features and quality of each and worked to find something that fit my budget. They did excellent workmanship.

I came into the shop because my check engine light had come on. They diagnosed that problem as some kind of sensor that wasn't critical to my car running well but while they were looking at it, they discovered that the water pump was leaking. This was a problem that could have caused a breakdown on the road. Because I was scheduled to leave town for a trip in two days, they worked to get it in right away and fixed both the water pump and the sensor. They were friendly, professional and competitive in their pricing. Thanks Rick and John!

We had a problem with our van and the problem was fixed by the next morning! Both Rick and John were honest and made sure that we knew what the problem was right away. Would recommend Honest Automotive to anyone. So glad we have someone we can trust to do a quality job for our vehicles!
