These guys are Honda/Acura specialists. They always provide fast personable professional service at a reasonable price. I have been using them for over 20 years. It is good to have a mechanic I can trust.

When I previously owned a Honda, I didn't trust my car to any shop but this one. The staff is friendly and are honest folks. I have referred other customers to this place and will continue to do so in the future.

Trustworthy, quick, knowledgeable. They don't "fix" something just to make a buck. I've been bringing my 2008 Honda Odyssey here since it was new and I've got a week y taken care of, 265k miles on her. I'd recommend Especially to anyone, c anytime.

Called around to have my timing belt, water pump, and back brakes switched out. Especially Honda came in at the lowest price (by $10) and some friends and co-workers really highly recommended it so I found myself dropping off my car at 7:30am. They dropped me off at my office and picked me up when the work was finished. When I dropped it off I asked them to look at the cruise control as I had replaced a part below the brake, but hadn't calibrated it properly. They took a look and adjusted accordingly for free. When I went to pay, I was given a price that was significantly below the quote and they simply said that it had taken less time! Wow, they blew me away. Work appeared to be top notch, no problems thus far. Will definitely be back as long as I'm in the area and need something done. Honest shop. 08/02/2011 - Came back for an oil change (bit more expensive than most) after my previous positive experience. This time my SRS light was on and my wind shield wiper fluid wasn't working. They took a look at both things and performed small fixes without nickle and diming me. Great shop!

My family exclusively buys Hondas so we can have them serviced here. They're fast, friendly, but most importantly they're honest. If they tell me I need something fixed and it'll cost x, I don't have to check anywhere else I know it's the truth. Makes the whole process a lot less stressful.

I've been going to Especially for a few years based on recommendations, and never looked back since. They do a great job, reasonable pricing, and efficient service with no upselling. Anytime I went to the dealership for just a simple oil change, I would sit there for at least 2 hours, and they'd find something that needed to be "fixed."

I disagree with Mr Guild's comments. I have been going to Especially Auto, previously Especially Honda, for decades. The owner has always been honest and trustworthy. He knows his stuff (did you know he was the first Master Certified Honda mechanic in the entire country?) and has never done anything unnecessary to any of my Hondas he has serviced. He has even on several occasions NOT charged me for some small item or service, telling me we'll even it up next time. I know one lady he actually drove to where her car had broken down, diagnosed a minor problem, got her on the road and declined to charge her. If he says you need something done, you need it. His prices are less than dealerships and he does not nickle and dime you. I also recommend his business to others as you could probably guess. This is the most honest, knowledgeable and reasonable garage I have ever done business with. BTW, I am not related to the owner or any of his employees in any way!

The best. Honest and trustworthy. The best price on Honda service and maintenance. They only service Hondas and Acuras. Buy a Honda, take it here, and drive it for 15 years worry-free. Update: I started coming here 10 years ago when my car had 70k on it. I’m at 292k w no major issues. They are the reason why! Good service, great prices and honest.

I decided to quit going to the dealership for car service and try Especially Autos. Paid a lot less and got prompt service. I only waited twenty minutes for an oil change. The owner said he was the first qualified Honda mechanic in South Carolina twenty something years prior. So he knew his business. I highly recommend and will be going back.

Love this place so much, it actually made me sad when I had to sell my Honda! If I ever get another Honda, I will definitely bring it here. Hard to find a mechanic you can trust, so if you are considering this place— you won’t regret it! The lady at the front desk has lots of good stories about her dogs too. :)

If you’re looking for an honestly mechanic for your Honda, this is the place! They came on a recommendation from a friend and we are so thankful! They’ve taken great care of us for years. I’ve had to call in the morning and they are willing to see me that day! This has saved us a couple times when we’ve had car trouble. Not only that, I’m in and out so quick! I often have my kids in tow and they are always fast to get my car ready, which is a relief as a mom trying to keep little ones entertained. I’m talking 30 min! They’ve even taken a look at something for me and didn’t charge me when they didn’t find anything wrong. They are just honest, hard working, great people! Don’t hesitate to bring your car here 😊

This is hands down the best alternative to Honda, Acura, Lexus, and Toyota dealerships. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the owner is incredibly honest and trustworthy. He goes out of his way to ensure you’re well taken care of. The prices are also very reasonable.

Especially Auto (Honda) They can’t use Honda in their name because of Trademark Infringement but they only work on Hondas and do a great job for a fair price. You can trust them to get it right. You won’t be disappointed. A great group of people.

My go-to place for my Acura service! No upsell, just what needs to get repaired or maintained. Amazing and friendly staff too!

My issue with Especially Honda two weeks ago I setup appt to have oil change and a diagnostic done on my 2018 Honda Crv look at it was there 4 hours when picked it up he said it was my injection need to be done and was unable to repair until a week later the problem was my brake system lights Acc light litigation light brake light so took it to another dealer to get what he said was wrong with it fixed after spending 1500.00 week later the car doing the same thing. So I called Especially Honda back this morning at 730 to ask how did he come up with injector was the problem I had to call him 3 times to still get a answer mourn to my story is I dont trust his work the original owner was honest and he acted unconcerned with was miss diagnostic Im passed right now get second opinion dont trust his

Great place to get auto services completed. The price is one of the best--so affordable and hassle-free. Definitely need to call in and schedule an appointment. They're scheduled tight and usually busy, but they work fast.
