Our Story

Three generations of honest auto repair. We've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.

How It All Started

In 1985, Frank Martinez hung up the phone at the dealership where he'd worked for fifteen years and made a decision. He'd watched too many customers get overcharged for unnecessary repairs, and he knew there had to be a better way.

He opened Honest Wrench in a two-bay garage on the corner of Main and Oak with a simple promise: tell the truth about what's wrong, fix only what needs fixing, and charge a fair price. Word spread fast in a town where everyone knows everyone.

Today, Frank's son Mike runs the shop, and Frank's grandson is learning the trade. The two-bay garage is now an eight-bay facility with state-of-the-art equipment, but the promise hasn't changed. We still treat every customer like a neighbor because, in most cases, they are.

What We Believe

Our approach to auto repair is simple: do the right thing, even when no one's watching.

Honest Diagnosis

We'll tell you exactly what's wrong and what it'll take to fix it. If you don't need a repair, we'll tell you that too. We'd rather have a customer for life than make a quick buck.

Fair Pricing

Our rates are competitive, but we don't compete on price alone. We compete on value. Quality parts, skilled labor, and repairs that last are worth paying for.

Quality Parts

We use OEM or equivalent parts on every job. Cheap parts fail sooner and cost more in the long run. Your vehicle deserves better, and so do you.

Our customers aren't just customers. They're neighbors, friends, and people we see at church on Sunday. That matters to us. When we fix your car, we're fixing the car of someone we care about.

It's why we've lasted nearly four decades in a business where shops come and go. Treat people right, do quality work, and the rest takes care of itself.
