I came here with several issues that popped up. In a short time Tim the mechanic had it fixed with just a singular solution. Price was great and the time it took was even better! This is a true 5 star auto repair. Most friendly front office working staff, including the Lil pup! I strongly advise you come here before anywhere else.
For the 2+ years I’ve had my Mustang I’ve been bringing it to the dealership I bought it from for all work. That place sent me running for hills and also incorrectly installed breaks. Safe to to say I wanted to find something else. Thanks to several great reviews I was referred to Honka. They were so helpful, fast, and did great job for a very low price. I highly, highly recommend anyone looking for a new autoShop come here and check it out. If you’re unsure of what to trust or believe, social proof is the way to go! I’m very particular and businesses I use and I’ve definitely found my auto shop for the future! 10/10
The best experience! Came from Indiana VERY picky with who I take my car to, due to experience. I read reviews and trusted to come here, IMMEDIATELY met beyond expectations. Got my car looked at to travel more states, not only did he fix the problem he showed me what to look for showing me my belt and concerns to teach myself. His wife and everyone made me feel home very welcoming and a trustworthy place.
These people are very professional. I took the car sometime ago for oil change and they ran a diagnosis. The car had a very strong smell and they found oil was dripping. They did a great service. Adriana the owner is great.
Amazing shop and amazing people! If youre in the area for vacation and need your vehicle serviced, call Honka! Adriana and the Honka team literally saved our family vacation.My family and I were in Clearwater for a vacation, and, unfortunately, our AC went about halfway into a 6-hour trip. I was so apprehensive about having it looked at so far from home and in such a touristy area, but I knew I needed to try to have it repaired before we returned home. I called and spoke with Adriana right when they opened the next morning and she asked me to get the vehicle to the shop within the hour. She helped me arrange transportation back to our house rental and let me know what was going on every step of the way. They let me know the blower motor was bad and tested all of the other electrical components to make sure it was just the motor. She was able to track down a new motor locally and had our vehicle fixed by 1pm that afternoon. Very straightforward and honest. Im so thankful for people like Adriana and her husband and couldnt recommend anyone more. Honest and kind people who are truly in it to help their customers. Thank you Adriana and the Honka team!
Was coming in town for a much needed vacation from Tennessee which was around a 12hour trip. Naturally, the last hour of me and my wife’s journey to clear water beach, my truck started making a grinding noise on the front driver side wheel base. I googled shops in the immediate area. Honka, showed up as the closest and clearly the highest rated option. Called in for an appointment and dropped my truck off. Mrs Adriana then drove me and my wife back to our hotel. Once the truck was finished (all same day, turned out being the wheel bearing) she called and had her son come to pick us up to retrieve our truck. Was the quickest and best service I have ever received from a shop. Did not push to have other things “fixed” or sell other services. Very friendly. Highly would recommend. If you are from out of town like we were and need to have your vehicle looked at, I absolutely recommend them.
I have been coming here for years, I have a 2002 car. Tim always finds a way to repair it. They always do much more than just fixing the issue at hand. They use good quality parts which saved me once, as parts and labor were under warranty and they replaced it right away. When I pick up my car after a repair, it drives much better and I always notice other things that needed to be fixed that have been taken care of. Nice people, great customer service, knowledgeable professionals. They are not the cheapest in town but theyre not expensive either and they really repair your car in a timely manner. What more could you possibly ask for?
Highly recommend! They got us in and out within an hour with no appointment on a Friday morning. Our A/C is working fantastic now. I loved the little shop with crystals & plants & a cute pup. Thank you!!
Definitely recommend. They take good care of you, helpful and are honest. Had a great experience
For years we have been bringing our cars to Honka for maintenance and repairs. They are friendly and always deliver very good service at a decent price. Especially Tim is a very competent and skilled mechanic and spot on with his diagnosis. He tells you what is wrong with your car and is able to fix what ever it needs. But if nothing is really wrong he also tells you and lets you go free of charge, which is very unique nowadays. Or if your car is older, he doesnt talk you into doing any and all repairs, but gives you a good idea what should be done and what is more a luxury to fix but not totally necessary to keep your car driving nicely. Honka definitely delivers honest service and I am happy we have them!
This mechanical workshop is a tremendous blessing, the attention, quality and service is super professional and friendly. Its owner is a beauty of person, my husband fell in love with the service and her way of being, we fixed the two cars at once. They were very attentive and considerate, they gave us the other car the same day so that we would not have to go back looking for it again, 150% recommended!
Great service I call was seen in a quick time. When I arrived Tim took time to ride with me and understand the issue. The fix was done at a very reasonable price. I will recommend and return.thanks to honka.
Great place to fix my car. I came here for an alignment and to replace an engine mount. Everything was fast and smooth. Thanks adriana and tim.
Had my car towed here with no idea what kind of shop they were. Im so glad. They are so professional. They promised a price and to have me back on the road the same day. All promises kept. This is the kind of auto repairing you always hope to find. A true gem.
Excellent place of business. They were courteous, precise and expediwnt. Will definitely use their services again.
I have a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder that needed a lot of work. The staff stayed late to get all the work done so I could get to work the next morning. My Pathfinder now runs better than ever. Thank you all at Honka for taking such good care of my vehicle. Will never take my vehicle anywhere else. You guys rock.
I drove from Tampa to Clearwater because a friend recommended this repair shop, it has been the best decision to repair my car and I will travel again if I need it. Thank you so much Mrs Adriana and Tim
I was in town for a couple of days and I needed service on my A/C. They fixed the problem and the price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend Honkas to anyone in the area. The customer service was good as well.
Was told by one repair shop that I needed either a replacement used engine, a rebuilt engine or a new engine — ranging in price from $3 to $6,000.I called the dealership where I bought the car and they quoted me $2,100 to repair the engine.Then, I read a good number of reviews here and took my car down to get looked over and engine tested. Tim, the chief mechanic then showed me what was wrong.$600 later, I had a new radiator, a new thermostat, several coolant flushes done and the car was very happy and completely back to normal.I would like to say that I highly recommend Honka Auto Repairs. But that would not be correct. I VERY highly recommend them.
Always an excellent experience at Honka. They always get me in fast and always have the work done when they say they will. Fair prices and excellent customer service.
Great shop and service mechanics are knowledgeable and fast work was done right. Satisfied costumer will keep taking my car here.
Service was timely and professionally done. Staff is friendly and ready to assist you. I highly recommend this business.
A good and honest place to get your vehicle serviced. Will use again.
Efficiency and honesty. They do and excellent job no overpriced. Youll be in trust hands.
Great folks that treated me right and I appreciate that
This place is wonderful .I had an a car accident in the near by area where this place is located at. I went inside to have my car check out so I can still drive it safety.Adriana and her team welcoming me with a smile and helped me with this situation.I highly agree this is going to be my auto mechanic shop from now and on. Thanks 😊
We were 13 hours from home and needed a tire patched. We pulled in and within 10 minutes our tire was being patched free of charge. Amazing friendly service! Would recommend to anyone in the area. You might also meet Lola, a cute little poodle.
Excellent service and customer service . I brought my girlfriends car to get the lights fixed and side mirror motor wouldnt shut off they fixed everything $200 cheaper than my other quotes! Great prices and very knowledgeable.
We were so lucky to find Honka Auto Repair! The check engine light came on as we were about to head home to Wisconsin . They got us in right away and fixed the problem with no wait time. We are so thankful and would use them again if needed!! Great customer service and Super friendly!
Bearing was bad the fixed it that one was bad they replaced it again. Car runs perfect. Nice job!
The best! The nicest persons in the business, Quick work, precise, extremely professional and courteous Excellent quality in the service, very honest and professional, we recommend them at 100% . This is our new go to place
Great service.. Food was amazing ...Ill definitely go back...
I started going to to Honka because AutoZone actually recommended them the lady that owns the place is a very sweet person shes very honest the mechanics are very well knowledgeable they dont try to get one over on you like a lot of places do Ive been other places telling me all these problems are wrong with my vehicle I go to Honka and they tell me that I dont have those problems. They always get the work done on time explain things in detail and is why I recommend them over anybody else
Left my car overnight and it got done first thing in the morning, great service and knowledgeable staff. Will go back again for any future repairs.
Very honest and professional people. I went in today thinking I needed a new alternator, but turns out it was only a problem with the battery cables. Adriana at the front desk was very helpful and a pleasure to talk to. She called me right away and told me what was actually wrong instead of just replacing the alternator and taking my money. When I arrived to get my car the same day and went to pay, there was no charge! They were dependable and honest and I will be going back! Im a young, single female and mechanics usually know that I have no clue when it comes to under the hood, so I sincerely appreciate how honest they were in helping me save hundreds of dollars. I couldnt recommend them enough!! I listened to the reviews I read before I chose them, and so should you.
I have been taking my vehicles here for about 8 years. They consistently excellent, affordable and professional. I recommend Honka highly. A local police officer recommended Honka to me and I have been a loyal customer ever since. Thank you Honka.
So far one of the most respected shops we have found and honest...Friendly, very polite, and helpful.
Unbelievable!These people are not only professional, but very kind and courteous. Adriana makes you feel like Family. They are very knowledgeable and honest.I had a broken reservoir cap. A rackety noise and my car stopped on every other red light. I was nervous, scared..not knowing where to turn to, since I had already been to a couple mechanics...I went on Google and felt comfortable with the ratings & reviews. Honka Auto Repairs went over and beyond. They are on the top of my list Niw. Thank you All for making such a big difference!! Look no further. This is your Best Community Auto Repair Shop!
As always; diagnosis was spot on and repaired with minimal downtime. Honka is my choice for all automotive maintenance. I trust their advice and work.
I’ve been looking for a new mechanic for a few months now and after reading all the great reviews for Honka I decided that’s where I am going to go. I was not disappointed. Very friendly, honest, and timely and more then fair. When I dropped my car off it wasn’t extremely busy yet and was able to get a ride home from the shuttle service. Everything I read in the review were true and they have a customer for life. Thank you guys.
Wonderful lady Adriana lola her furbaby greeted me then Tim the mechanic. They where helpful professional and fair. I would highly recommend.
Anytime I need a vehicle repair the kind folks at Honka always take care of me. Every visit Adrianas very friendly with a warm welcoming and ensures that you the customer are ALWAYS taken care of. When I first needed a repair, I was especially blown away with their free shuttle service as ive not seen that offered anywhere else! I also really love and appreciate the work Tim has done for my vehicle - not to mention his advice has always been EXTREMELY helpful! I can honestly say after all my repairs thusfar, Im abundantly satisfied with the services they provide, as well as their affordable prices! If you need a vehicle repair I cant recommend Honka Auto Repairs enough!!
Changed starter, very attentive & helpful, great work every time I go no matter what car. Good price.
Great friendly service, super clean, and good repairs
Very good experience, mrs. Adriana was very helpful and offer me rides for when I drop off the car, and the issue with my car was solve. thank you. very good mechanic
Honka is the only place I go if my cars need repair. I have gone there for over 12 years. Tim is a fantastic mechanic!Absolutely honest...
Great service, quick repair, very friendly, would recommend, will use again
Outstanding customer service and truly fair pricing! Best foreign car repair in the county!
I just moved to Clearwater from Boston. On the drive down my ac stopped working, I looked around at different auto places in the area and Honka had really good reviews so I gave them a call. Adriana, the owner is so nice and understanding, she even drove me home and picked me up while my car was being worked on.Tim was the mechanic who worked on my car, he’s awesome! He found a way to fix my ac without having to replace the whole system and also saving me my arm and leg.I will definitely be a regular customer from here on, and if anyone is reading these reviews looking for a new mechanic, Honka is a really honest place of business.Infinity stars ⭐️
Great place excellent mechanic
I moved to Clearwater in April of 2018 and needed an honest fair priced mechanic. Ive been Blessed by choosing Honka for all my auto mechanic needs. Cant say enough about the quality and knowledge in their field. The customer service I easily rate as A+.Thank you Honka Auto repair.
Excellent customer service. They were very attentive and catered to my needs. Definitely coming back .
I take my car to Honka all the time for repairs they do very good work fair pricing and very honest shop.
They are the most honest people. I only bring my car here, they help me every single time and will ALWAYS find the best solution. This is the place to go too!
These folks are great. Great service and will continue to use them for my VW GTI service needs.
I’ve been taking my “girl” to Honka Auto Repairs since 2016 and am extremely happy! Tim is an excellent mechanic, he has always taken the time to explain things to me so I would understand what needed to done. Adriana has always been right there with a wonderful friendly smile! Thank you for being my “go to” auto mechanics!
I was in search of a new Auto Repair Shop in Pinellas County, FL.There are a lot of shops here, however, they are NOT ALL GOOD! I decided to get an estimate from Honka Automotive, based on the solid 5 Star Reviews they have! People are defiantly right! I went to the Shop, met the owner (Adriana) and worked with the Tech (Tim) to order the Part brands I wanted installed in my Truck. He installed a new Timing Belt, Water Pump. Seals etc. Also new Spark Plugs, and He fixed my A/C Problem!Also, he made some good recommendations, but was not pushy about fixing anything extra, unless I wanted him to.I am very picky about who works on my Truck! He did a Great Job on the repairs, and was extremely neat inside and out! After I picked the Truck up, I couldnt even tell that someone worked on my vehicle. I never had this good of an experience with any shop! If you are like me, GO HERE PEOPLE! You wont be disappointed! Honka, you have a customer for life! Thank You Guys!!!!
Great place. Honest and efficient service. Definitely recommend
This place is great I love how they treated me.They were very patient and they went the extra mile.And they did great work on my car
We had some trouble with our vehicle on the drive down for vacation. After looking at google reviews we decided to try Honka. We are so glad we did. Adriana was so pleasant to deal with and helped us out so much. The service and price was great! We would highly recommend them!
This place is amazing. I took my car to different place and they changed the oil did a transmission filter and gasket change and a full inspection. They told me I needed differential work. brake fluid flush, oil cooler lines replaced and my seals were leaking. I went to Honka because my transmission was leaking and they did a full inspection. I found out I didnt need any of that work the previous mechanic told me I needed and actually took the time to show me. The tightened up my transmission pan but showed that it wasnt properly done and I should go back to the previous mechanic to fix but honestly Id rather pay the extra money to have them do it. They were very honest, fast and completely upfront about everything.I am making them my go to place from here on out and highly recommend them for anyone in need of a good mechanic.
This is a friendly and very fair place to do business with that do quality work.
The best spot in Clearwater. excellent prices, location and my car was perfect. thank you very much!
The people here are so nice and genuine and really just want to help and not rip you off. Service is great and I’m gonna start going here for all my car issues. Definitely recommend
Adriana, Tim, and Luis are the absolute best! They are honest to god fair people. I came in for a full service and multiple repairs needed on my car. Adriana was super easy to get along with, I had quotes from other places and when I came to Honka Auto Repair, she also charged me less than what she quoted me. NEVER going to another mechanic, this is hands down the best!!! Thank you Adriana, Tim, and Luis! :)
Very honest, fast and fair prices!
I have used Honka on and off for years. Now my choice is always Honka because of a bad experience I had with another mechanic to save money. The other so called mechanic actually cost me much more than it would of cost me had I stayed with Honka besides almost destroying my van. Tim their veteran mechanic always solves my vehicle problems. He never recommends anything that I dont need. He does the job quickly avoiding unnecessary delays. He is very experienced. When I tried the other mechanic he didnt criticize me for making a bad choice, but instead welcomed me back. The owners Adriana and Luis are very fair and competitive price wise. If I disagree with a price they always they do what is fair for me the customer and what is fair for the business; a win win situation. Adriana or an available mechanic will pick me up and bring me home if the job takes more than an hour and is my choice of action. Everyone that works their is very pleasant. I dont know what I would do without Honka.
Best service ever! They fix my car in just one day. To be honest now my car feels better than ever! Gracias Adriana!
I took my car into the shop without an appointment and they immediately diagnosed and fixed my car in under two hours when they had a full garage of cars they were already working on. Very kind and knowledgeable!
Honest work. Would recommend again and again.
They are now my go-to auto shop. My oil light went off and they fixed it right away. The price was very reasonable and the work was completed in a timely and professional manner. Will defiantly return.
I have now had quite a few major repairs done by Tim at Honka Auto and Im very happy with everything! Everyone there is super friendly, they keep you informed of whats happening, they get the job done quickly and at a very fair price. I highly recommend them!!
Great service and staff for a very reasonable price. Brought my van in for service, because it kept stalling... turned out it was only a vacuum line was broke! They were honest about it, and I was back on the road in no time. I highly recommend them.
Im a out of Towner and I recommend their services they were great people and very helpful and understanding. Pretty sure Ill be seeing them again in the near future
Perfect please . Really good mechanics and people friendly
Good service, fair price, always open to suggestions. I dont go anywhere else.
Very knoledgable, fast and honest. I will allways take my cars there.
I Called to see how much to have the computer reset in car. I changed the starter and it was now cutting out engine when I turn on the ac. The ac work fine before changing starter.When I called The lady at the counter she said no connection between the starter and ac after changing the starter. Its not the computer its the ac. We can run test on ac.I told her no. The ac working fine. It worked before the starter was changed. It’s just something with the computer communication that needs to be resetLady insisted I didn’t know what i was talking about and wanted me to bring in car to be looked at for $50 plus whatever to fix it. when I knew exactly what it was already. I didn’t need to run testI decided because I knew what was wrong with car to watch video on YouTube about resetting computer in car after working on car so all components reactivate and reprogram properly.I tried it myself and it worked I don’t know much about car but reallyLady. If I can figure it out and fix car it’s not that hard to figure outResult. My ac works and does cut out engine anymore. This lady doesn’t know what she is talking about and are rip offs. They don’t listen to customers and they do what they want and charge you money for doing things that are not necessarily needing to be doneGo back to school and get educated lady.
All of the people at Honka, have been great to work with. I have been very appreciative of the fact they take my vehicle right away, and I was even given a vehicle to borrow, while my truck was being fixed. I cannot say enough positive things about the service I have received there. And they are extremely fair priced and friendly . Give them a try you will be happy ! Thank you Rick, Adrianna, and the hard working mechanics
Gave great fast service, diagnosed my car, told me everything that was happening and why and since they couldn’t find a direct problem (lack of knowledge from former repair) they charged me a small amount rather than the full diagnostic price since they found nothing wrong. Great customer service
I have found my car repair home, Great shop with my best interest in mind. Very helpful, fair and reasonable to work with. I recommend them!
Really lucky to find this place!!! Excellent service!!! We were in Clearwater for vacation from IL and our minivan broke in a Friday like at 11:00 am we took it here and they take care of it and give it to us the same day so we can go back on Sunday to our home !!!! Mrs. Adriana the owner was amazing she even offered to bring us to our hotel and pick us up when the van was ready. Really recommend this place of you need any repairs.
This is the second time I have taken my Jeep Wrangle in for a service. Rick was great. He took great care of my vehicle, calling me with estimates of a leak I had informed of. The car works great now, no leaks. They advertise being honest, and that is what I have experienced. This is not a franchise trying to make corporate profits, but a private little neighborhood repair shop you can trust.
This is a great place to go if you are in need of any type of repairs performed on any type of vehicle.i bring my cars hear and i love the quality and workmanship of this repair shop.They are very honest and fair to all or there customers and we all keep coming back for repairs and maintenance.be like me and give this place a try you will never regret it !expert techs and repairs done right.honest pricing policy with no bull.i own three vehicles and life just got easier taking care of them for me at least. .
Fast and reliable service ..
Thank you for fixing my axles. I took the car to two other shops who immediately said it was the engine, and that i needed a new one. Your team replaced the axles and I am driving smooth.
5 stars for price, workmanship, and, above all the personal, cordial service by Rick Honka. I had my disc brakes updated, including new steel rotors; it was totally a pleasant experience; the brakes are smooth and effective. I will be happy to return anytime.
I had break issues with my car. Was heading to another shop when I happened to drive pass Honka Auto Repairs. The sign actually says Honest Auto Repairs. Let me just say that the experience after visiting this shop was top notch. Ive had very bad experiences with crooked mechanics in the past. And Honest Auto Repairs is truly a shop that mirrors its name. The Manager was extremely courteous and helpful. And I did not feel like I was once ever being swindle out of my hard earned money.Its very rare that many people ever feel good about their mechanic but I could most gladly say that I felt great about this shop and especially the people that work there. I was very glad to give them my money. I will definitely be giving them my business in the future.
Quality work at a reasonable rate.
Ive recently moved to Largo FL from California and needed a good mechanic. Two different people told me Charlie at Honka Auto Repairs was good. So I thought he would be a good choice.We took in my husbands Toyota Tacoma truck because it was making a funny noise. Charlie figured out what was wrong with it. A belt was loose and slipping. He replaced the belt, and now the truck sounds great and drives smooth.The price was very reasonable. Ill be bringing my other car back to Charlie at Honka Auto.
Very professional, and honest. Recently moved to Clearwater 4 years ago. And went through several mechanics until Ive found HONKA I have a lifted truck with bigger tires. And took it to 3 different shops to get hub barings replaced. That would wear out in months. Tim is the only one that fixed it properly and have had no issues. Ive even dropped of for service. And they told me it was a minor repair so there would be no charge. You cant find anyone more honest! I have 4 vehicles and every one of them will go to honka if needed.
I love this place. You know why? Theyre genuinely honest, and old-fashion friendly. This place reminds you of a cross between the Andy Griffith Show and Leave it to Beaver.The good old days.
After being a loyal take it to the dealer for repairs kind of guy, I felt that I was not getting the best service at my dealer. So after checking out the reviews for Honka Auto Repair in Google, I decided to take my Mazda in for some badly needed attention. Will is very personable and was concerned with my problem and took the time to explain all that I needed to know before proceeding with the repairs. I felt like I got much more personalized and caring service taking my car to Honka Auto Repair. Besides, they are really close to where I live so that was another added bonus. A clean waiting room/service desk area and shop also help make you feel that this is a well run business. My car runs great now too! Good Job! I have used them for several repairs as well as regular maintenance. Still getting great service! They are keeping my 15 years old cat running smoothly!
Excellent auto-repair, the people are lovely, they work as a team and exceed to meet the needs of the customer. Ive already done my 4 tires and my breaks, and their services is amazing. They take you back to wherever you need to go when you leave your car and pick you up when your car is ready. The people that work their are very kind. I simply love this place.
Extremely pleased! Had some brake work done. Mentioned I had been quoted slightly less for the same work elsewhere, and they matched the price> no questions asked. Plus, with their customer friendly coupon, I actually saved a few bucks! Everyone there conducted themselves professionally, and were very nice. I highly recommend Honka for any auto work needing done!
I finally found an honest auto repair shop! After 3 years of being let down by the many repair shops in Clearwater, thankfully, I found Honka! Rick is so understanding and helpful with my many questions and concerns and their mechanics are knowledgeable and get the job done right the first time. The prices here are more than reasonable and my whole experience with them was great! This is the only place I will ever take my car for repairs! Thank you again Honka!!!
I was terrified when my check engine light came on and my car was sputtering. I rolled into this shop at about 1 pm and I was home with a fixed car by 4:30. They were so nice and will have any of my future business.
I had a great experience here! The staff were both professional and courteous. I have used them twice now since the ownership change. The first time I thought my alternator had gone out. I was prepared to pay well over $300 for the repair. Their mechanics found that it was only a bad connection with the battery cable. The repair was less than $50. The second visit was also a pleasant experience as my wife needed new brakes. They didnt give me the run around and the price was fair. I would recommend trying them out for sure!
I’m new to the area and the Check Engine light on my Toyota Celica needed attention. With so many auto repair shops and dealers around here, I did a lot of research trying to find a good, reputable place to get it resolved. I decided to take it to Honka. I am very glad I did. Rick and Tim were personable, very knowledgeable and professional. They accurately diagnosed and remedied the issue. And they did it in an honest and open way, charged me significantly less than what I was initially quoted. Rest assured Tim and Rick, people genuinely appreciate customer service like this. I know I do. I highly recommend Honka Auto. Thanks again guys !
Really lucky I found this place. They take great care of me and my truck. I also trust them with 6 fleet vehicles and they have never run better. Honest people and they do a great job.
