ALL 3 of the employees on the premises avoided me. No one even bothered to look at me. I tried to approach nicely saying excuse me, and all of them don't talk back. They just gesture their hands at me to go away. Like I am seriously shocked... Horrible service. To note, I did go to the office first because I read the sign. But no one was there and I waited with no one coming in to help me. So that is when I tried to ask the employees. I've never been here before so I wasn't sure if someone knew I was waiting since I had no appointment, per the phone call. Well, now I know to never come here.

It was such a pleasure to have such good service that doesn't try to upsell you on everything, especially being a woman customer. That is something I really appreciated and wholeheartedly recommend Kapahulu Auto for your car needs. And one clue when you are there: that place is busy, so you know that many people must know about the quality and service they offer there. Thank you so much, Kapahulu Auto....I will be back!!

I was preparing for a very expensive repair, but Tai came out to my house, properly diagnosed the issue first, and found that the real problem was just a loose battery connection. He was honest, professional, and incredibly kind. He easily could have replaced the alternator and charged me a lot of money, but instead he fixed the actual issue and only accepted a minimal payment after I insisted. I'm really grateful and would absolutely recommend Da Guy Mobile Repairs to anyone needing honest mobile mechanic work in Hawaii.

McCully Auto has been a blessing to the community, serving locals with honest automotive…read moremaintenance and repairs for decades. Since my last review over five years ago, Uncle James has helped me with an AC leak diagnosis, engine and transmission mount replacements, front and rear brake pads and rotors, a tune-up when my car was bogging, an alternator replacement, radiator replacement (because I cracked it trying to do the alternator myself), and now a transmission filter replacement. Pretty much every major maintenance or repair on my car has been done here, unless it was something I handled myself at home (the only exception being my CV axles that I saw Uncle Alan for at Kaimuki Auto). I'm incredibly thankful for Uncle James and the team for consistently delivering quality work at genuinely fair prices. I recently spent months doing drain-and-fills on my transmission fluid due to slippage driving uphill and hesitation between gears after cold starts. By the third drain, it became obvious the fluid wasn't improving at all. There's a common myth that transmission fluid lasts the "lifetime" of the car, but the reality is, it often doesn't. Just like ignoring oil changes, neglecting transmission fluid can eventually lead to serious (and expensive) repairs. In many cases, transmission work can cost even more than engine repairs. So here I am, trying to address the issue the best way I can. I won't lie, part of me hates that my car is now at the stage where issues pop up once or twice a year. Financially, though, buying a new car just isn't in the cards right now. Uncle James makes it possible for me to keep my car running safely and affordably while I work toward that next step, and I'm sure many others in the community feel the same way. McCully Auto remains my #1 choice for automotive maintenance and repairs. I've never had a bad experience, and I'm deeply grateful for the generosity, honesty, and wisdom Uncle James continues to share. I don't know what I would do without him, honestly.

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!

They were quick, 2 guys went over my car. Again both were courteous and professional. Very thorough, I thought I wasn't going to pass because they looked over my car more meticulous than other places I've been to. I thought maybe I've been flagged for something wrong. Highly recommend going to them. I was in-and-out reasonably quick during a very busy time.

He immediately knew the fix and he and his crew got to work right away. For the amount of physical exertion I saw them put in, I felt the cost to me was more than fair. The sheer contortion they had to perform to fix it... I really think I got a bargain. This review is not from the perspective of a "car person" so, that's a grain of salt to take. I really don't know how much such a repair is *supposed* to cost. This review is from the perspective of a stressed out human being who, upon completion of service, felt like a valued and important customer. If you're anything like me, (all you know about cars is that gas makes them go) I can 100% vouch for Alexander's. You won't get that violated feeling when they give you the bill.
