    Finally a mechanic in Honolulu that is not afraid to work on classic cars! Had a full coolant system replacement on my 1988 Astro Van. Nice work boys.

    They're really helpful. If you ever have difficulties finding parts for your vehicle that you aren't able to find in regular stores like auto zone/O'Riley's/ etc, GO VISIT THESE GUYS! They most likely have the part you're looking for! Great customer service skills. They're all about finding the problem, and fixing the problem when doing the job They gave my dad, uncle and I some refreshments while we we're waiting. Utmost understanding of their trade, and gave us great deals. I'm a mechanic for the Navy, and it's nice to talk to people who actually understand what they're talking about AND who actually have the parts on hand to do it. Highly recommend.

    super cool, super honest, and super kind people work here! and of course, they know exactly what…read morethey're doing and will not hesitate to walk you through the process of how they are going to work on your car. they treated my CRV like a queen! plus, the shuttle service they offer is SO convenient. next time i need another repair or inspection, it's going to be these guys. guaranteed!

    Since your reply is filled with inaccuracies, let me tell what actually happened…read more I brought my car in for a steering issue on my Lexus. I agree that I did take it to a friend's shop first and he checked into the issue. He wasn't able to help because he was going out of town. When I initially contacted Neue Auto, I was told that you fixed all kinds of steering systems. My Lexus has an electronic control unit for the power steering, not a hydraulic one, like most cars. I asked specifically if this is something that you were able to do...when I initially called and when I dropped the car off. That was a SPECIFIC question. Both times I was assured that you were familiar. A whole day went by and no callback. I was told that it would take a few hours to investigate the issue and after repeatedly calling for an update, I was told that at 5pm my car was still being worked on. No callback by 6p so I DROVE down there in my other car only to find the shop locked up. It was the weekend and I did without my car and without any update. I was cool about it and Alvin finally contacted me after I left a message on Monday morning. I was NOT informed that you would not be able to perform the "calibration and [potential] programming." If this was the case and you didn't have the tools to complete the job, why in the world wouldn't I take it straight to Lexus? Let me be clear...you had the car for 3 weeks...THREE Weeks and nothing was being done. Alvin kept telling me he was trying to get in contact with someone at Lexus and get the inside on how to fix it. I got my car out of there because Alvin said you were waiting on someone trying to get a "workaround" for the programming? I have text messages and voicemails about this. Needless to say, the car was unfixed. When I picked up my car, it was FILTHY...there was dirt IN my car and the whole car was dirty. My car is my baby and it has never seen a day that it was that dirty. Alvin pulled the car out and I got in and drove 1/2 a mile before realizing the needle on the gas tank was BELOW "E." I also noticed this huge gash in my dash. That was NOT there before. I went straight to the gas station and had to fill my tank and I called Alvin about the gash. He flat out denied it and went on the defensive. I just threw my hands up and didn't argue. AT NO TIME DID I ASK for any sort of compensation. NONE! I asked for acknowledgement but he just denied it right off. I have the text of that too. I buy local to support, but given your reply, without even having a conversation with me throughout this whole 3 week ordeal, it's clear you have blind loyalty to your workers that allows you to create this false narrative often a customer who just plunked down $2600 for NOTHING. My car was the SAME as when I drove it in. AUWE!! Sidenote: Took my car in to Lexus the following Monday and it was done in 3 days. When I got my car from Neue, I asked for notes on what was done and what else needed to be done. I also asked if they could give me their Lexus contact so that that person could provide any information to the repairman at Lexus. When I picked up my car, the advisor said that the part changed by Neue was unlikely to have been necessary at all. This was a HUGE, EXPENSIVE lesson learned to do my due diligence in competency!

    Kaleo recently worked on my family's Kia Sorento and we could not be more grateful for his service…read more This is our primary vehicle for getting to medical appointments, work, church, and taking care of our family's daily needs. Having it repaired correctly and safely meant everything to us. What was supposed to be a repair lasting just a few hours turned into a three-day job because new issues kept coming up. Throughout the entire process, Kaleo remained patient, honest, and committed to doing the job right. I stayed during the repair because I wanted to understand what was being done and he welcomed my questions. He took the time to explain each step and was completely transparent about the work and the challenges he encountered. In addition to providing exceptional service, Kaleo's pricing was fair and affordable. He truly embodies the aloha spirit, treating his customers with kindness, respect, and genuine care. If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, affordable, and dependable mobile mechanic, I highly recommend him. We will definitely be calling him again for any future repairs. Mahalo Kaleo for going above and beyond to keep our family safely on the road!

    Thank you for replying to me . You guys did what I wanted …read more I made humbug because of the brake fluid that's all . Your service advisor and the young lady that helped me kudos to you guys for doing a great job . And I just wanted to apologize for making humbug, sometimes I get paranoid about things .I just wanted to make sure I find someone i can trust working on my vehicle I hope in the future I can come back and I promise i will not make humbug and just let you guys do what you do no questions asked Thank you .

    First of all, I would like to say the ONLY reason I decided to go with Pearl City Auto Works was…read morebecause they had 5 star reviews. After my experience with them, they deserve a 1 star. If I could I would give them a 0. 2 and a half years ago, I took my car to Pearl City Auto Works for a brake job. It cost me almost $5k to do it. Now they told me I gotta spend another $2400 to fix the same problem. My other half and I talked business with the owner's daughter Shay Nakamura about the situation and asked certain questions and she couldn't give any feedback to the situation at hand. She tried to give me a discount, but I don't think it was enough, considering I know for a fact they are charging me 3-4x the actual cost for the parts and then will eventually get more money back because of the cores. I text the number they text me with explaining my situation and there were no response. 2 phone numbers they text me from I left a text message, no response. That right there shows me that that they have poor communication skills. Communication was done with text. To be honest, I prefer real conversation with a person/company. I believe that they either did a poor job 2 and a half years ago or the quality of parts they used suck!! I got ripped off the first time and they tried to do that again the second time around. NEVER again will I do business with them!!
