I have an innate, irrational hatred of all mechanics, and I would rather have my car explode in the middle of the road than take it in - just cause I don't like dealing with mechanics. That being said, Honest 1 is pretty much the only place I've ever been confident in bringing my cars - to the point that I paid extra to tow my car there from the other side of town when the radiator blew (which, coincidentally, did happen in the middle of the road). Listen - no mechanic is perfect. There's no omnipotent car whisperers out there that just get things right every time, all the time. That's why Honest 1's warranty period is such a massive deal for me. I'm sure there's cheaper people out there - but all I care about is giving my car the fullest life that it can possibly lead before I drive it straight into the ground. So far, Honest 1 is the only mechanic that gives me any hope of accomplishing that.
