About Us
We are Joe and Melanie Koehnen and we are extremely excited to bring our legacy of amazing auto repair, along with an unbeatable customer experience to the City of Aurora. We have been a couple for almost 25 years. We currently live in the Western suburbs of Chicago with our 2 teenage children, Kamryn and Bennett. We have owned and operated Honest-1 South Elgin since 2018 with a talented and dedicated team and have earned a loyal customer following. Our outstanding reviews speak for themselves. Check them out at www.honest1southelgin.com. Our goal is to provide customers with truly honest, straightforward, and exceptional auto repair. Focusing on your needs is very important to us and is something that we have been known for since 2018 at our Honest1 shop in South Elgin. You may have noticed the Aurora location was temporarily closed from August to December 2022. We are reopening the location with a brand new crew and are ready to welcome all current and new customers back to the shop. We have built an amazing new team to provide you with the service and dedication that you are used to here at Honest-1 Aurora. We will continue to offer the Aurora community a unique experience, and one that will pleasantly surprise each customer. We provide exactly what you want: honest, reliable auto repair and straightforward customer service all within a comfortable, family-friendly setting. We will take the time to get to know you and your vehicle, which will allow us to recommend the best options for you. Personal attention, exceptional customer service, and an experienced and friendly staff are what you’ll find at Honest-1®. Looking forward to serving you in the near future.
