All employees are friendly. I had Darrell. Full service. This young man is on top of his job. And I like the car wash which is now $8. I went to maui oil at $15. And my rear view mirror ripped off. The one in kihei $12 on highway even with mirror folded in it pulled both all the way back! read more

Aloha Shell is one of the few remaining mom & pop gas stations that still employ attendants offering "full service" at some of the pumps. Young ones won't know what the hell that means, so Google it! They even have a repair garage that always looks busy. No convenience store though. While I don't come here for gas, I was forced here for the HI-5 recycling redemption service, ran by Aloha Recycling. I usually patronize the location next to UHMC but their redemption center has been closed for several weeks already due to staffing, but you can still drop off recyclables there. Tucked in between the gas station and car wash is the small, dirty and bustling operation. Grab one of the netted carts, dump your separated goods in them and wheel it to the attendant. They'll print out a receipt which you take to the gas station's window cashier who'll disperse your money. OVERALL: Do your part and recycle! read more

Since our redemption center in Haiku is closed we now bring our recycling here. Not sure if it's better or worse, but it's also a gas station, in case you need to fuel up or pick up a few necessary items, and even use the bathroom. There's an outdoor sink if you need to wash your hands after handling your recyclables. It seems to be a pretty busy spot as far as recycling goes, and there are people to assist. Very convenient location right in the center of town. I believe you can also get a safety check here. read more

Recycling is accepted until 7:30 pm on weekdays. It is 7:21pm Friday night. No one is at the recycling weight station. I walk into the cashier's station/minimart and ask for assistance. The young man was polite but I was VERY disappointed, as he told me they had already closed. I have been coming here for years. I must admit it really hurts my feelings that they are not following they're posted hours. I even telephoned before leaving my house, in case their hours have changed. Please think of your customers first before closing early. 9 minutes can make a big difference in a hungry child's life. read more

Thus guys are awesome. We had a screw in a tire and were went to thee other guys on Alamaha and they couldn't help us there. They told us to come back on Thursday now that's not good to drive around with a screw in the tire going up and down Haleakala Hwy. Di we decided to come to Aloha Shelland we parked the car on the side and went in ri check if they could fix the tire the girl working said sure park right behind that truck and they can fix it for you. Shi we did and the young gentleman worked on the tire. I guess the big boss came out to check and said it was okay to fix.. he fixed it and plugged it in less then 15 minutes. He also put air in the tires that needed it. If you need your tire fix or you need work on your car come here. Oh and yes they do have gas so put gas here. These guys are on it. read more

Aloha Shell Service - 5.63 full serve check them tires mahalo aloha Shell - Auto Repair Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Worst $4 car wash I've ever gotten! Car didn't even look clean, it actually looked worse and got a few scratches. Not worth even $4.

The boys are very rude to each customer that shows up.about 3 of the men always with bad attitude on there shoulders.....why be rude put up signs so everyone knows what needs to be done but throwing our recycles on the side because it's completely smashed and ran over by a car.its not stolen because it's smashed have some respect for the customers read more

I came first thing in the morning (8am) for a safety check. Be patient. Cause at 8am in the morning the station was hot like fyah (fire). I would not want to work in this summer heat. All employees were super friendly and made small talk. read more

I don't ever come here to put gas. I think their prices are higher than another gas station down the road, but they're also one of the few places left that actually has gas attendants to fill your car. So maybe that higher price is justified for some? Anywho, I come here to do my safety checks for my car. Not sure what the negative reviews are about, but maybe they've fixed that issue? I've come here for the past couple of years and have had no problems. The safety checks are first come, first served. You go into their little convenience store and sign-in on a paper and they go down the list. I really wish they did it by appointment and offered the option for a weekend day. However, they do safety checks until 5PM. So, it's not so bad. I would just recommend coming later in the afternoon since they seem to be slower at that time. Otherwise, you may find yourself waiting 45 minutes or longer (I've done that). No one was in line the last time I came and the gentlemen that helped me was very polite, nice, and even put the sticker on my car to get me out of the rain and send me on my way faster. The fees are different, depending on the type of vehicle you have, but will generally be around $20. They also do car repair here apparently and my brother took my car in to get my tire fixed when it went flat after running over a screw. They took out the screw, filled my tire up with the gooey stuff and it's been a few weeks now and hasn't gone flat since. That was super quick (less than 30 minutes?) and cheap too! They also have air and water stations with working tire pressure gauges that can be used free of charge. At the back of the gas station there's also a recycling redemption center. They even offer emergency road side assistance and locksmith services. Yep, Aloha Shell is definitely a full service gas station! Check out their website for a full list of what they have to offer. read more

Josh was super speedy and thorough finding the slow leaking in my tires and getting it fixed up! It only took about 10 minutes and was such a weight off my chest to have that patched up. Mahalo Nui to the crew here! read more

I came here because my rental car gas cap said to use E85, which i had ASSUMED it was deisel. My rental company would not pick up the phone after i called them a million times, so I asked one of the employees working here. He was very sweet in answering my questions, and even helping me find suggestions on places to go since it was our first time in Maui. I do have to say that the gas pumps here are pretty different than San Diego. Feels very janky. But the guys can help you if you need it! read more

My dad went to this station for service many years. Recently he passed away and I needed to complete a safety check on his car before updating his license to sell his car. They remembered him fondly and were so considerate. Jay was great and when I went back to pick up the car they even washed it! I'd definitely recommended Aloha Shell. Great people. read more

Only came here for a safety inspection on a Thursday at 11:30am. Some tips: 1. First come first served. Put your name on a waiting list located inside by the register. Luckily there was NO WAIT at the time I went. Call and ask how long the list is prior to coming in! 2. Parking: Park your car in the stalls to the right near the "vacuum air and water" 3. What you need to bring with you: Have your registration and insurance card on hand! The inspector will need it. He also asked to see the old safety check receipt record, but not required to have. 4. Duration: ~20 minute wait after he takes your car into the shop. There are plastic chairs outside in the shade to wait on. 5. Price: $19.19 + $0.80 tax = $19.99 Overall I would recommend coming here for your vehicle safety check! Friendly staff and efficient. Thanks Joshua aka Jr.! If there's no wait on the list, it's a quick in and out! read more

Aloha Shell Service - Get your vehicle safety check here! They're great! - Auto Repair Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Aloha Shell fixed my tire when others shops where too busy or did not want my business the young men did a good job. The Gas is more than average price but they do provide service with is rear these days of the internet read more

Better than expected! I always thought Aloha Shell (because of their prime location) would be really high priced for car repairs, but my recent experience destroyed that myth. I went in to have my car inspected....and because they are really thorough (as they should be) they would not pass me until I fixed an oil leak I had. Mind you, I had taken it to another place 2 times to fix the oil leak and paid over $700 with that guy....and still had the leak. It was destroying my belts and other stuff. So, I left it with Aloha Shell to get a quote to repair it. Long story short....a nice guy named Lorenzo worked on my car and it is running better than ever and the price was around $280 and included steam cleaning the engine so they could see where the leak was (it was a mess in there). So, I am very happy and encourage you to consider them next time you have a repair. read more

If you are trying to get your safety check done ABSOLUTELY SKIP THIS PLACE!!!! READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS CAREFULLY, because they are true and you will be very upset! It is amazing that these types of businesses can be ran in such a poor way, I will be filing a complaint with consumer affairs and the automotive bureau! I brought my vehicle here for the second time, as the first time was turned down and sent back because I have a BMW which is not old. My breaks had just gotten done, brought evidence of paid and dated mechanic/repair bill! The so called ridiculous, useless inspector was thinking too much about it and said , in order for it to pass computer needed to show no break light on, so ridiculous! So I go back to mechanic, parts get ordered, job gets done, bring car back a week later, he now finds other "problems " with tires, my tires were new from 6 months ago, i told him, he said you should've gotten this done with them, so stupid!!!' I replied, i didn't need an inspection back then 6 months ago, he just smirked and laughed!!! I had driven from Huelo. Got there at 4:20 . He said, he's not going to pass it, I was beyond angry and upset!!! The owner and this bozo, they both are extremely ignorant and have no idea how to run a biz, they create things that aren't there, not even the police would ever act this way! This really ruined my whole week due to much unnecessary driving due to their useless and POINTLESS RUNAROUND!!!! They will make your life hell, not any easy, they hate common sense. ITS SO TRUE WHAT THEY SAY! CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!! Luckily a friend referred me to another place in Wailuku, so I went Saturday morning and my safety passed in less than 10 mins, didn't have to even get out of car. Their name is Pateo. They are amazing old timers, long local, experienced, NO NONSENSE, humble with a lot of business expertise and a long line of cars, (I guess people know where to go! ) SOMETHING THESE CLOWNS WILL NEVER HAVE !!! AVOID, AVOID AVOID THIS PLACE BY ALL MEANS! Unless you want your day to be ruined for no reason, choose wisely, you'll be glad you did! read more

A great place to get your safety check. I live in Kihei, but the place I stopped at was a bit abrupt and smarmy. I didn't stay. On impulse, I drove to Kahului and was greeted with a great smile and attitude from the lady at the register. She was welcoming and invited me to park until the next available check appointment. Their tiny corner parking area was full - full of customers! - so I drove off, did an errand, and came back to have my safety check done. The gentleman also smiled, took my car, and I was done in about thirty minutes or less. He even pasted the sticker onto my license plate for me! I will go to this place for my safety check from now on. read more

I called several places my tires needed air but were busy that I had to have appt. Toyota Maui recommended Aloha Shell station. Pulled up to the service station area. The attendant helped me & gave suggestion about my tires being in bad shape. Friendly & service on hand. Mahalo for the service. read more

Amazing service! Had a nail in my tire and called around to several places and was told 3-4 hour wait. I pulled in here and these guys fixed it without removing the tire; in less than 10 minutes. read more

Update: the guys working here are all nice guys. The issue was the manager who just went over the top on the tint thing. As a business, this was a bad move: as a new arrival this one incident eliminated all future business here: no gas, no garage services, and no more safety checks. Just overall a bad customer service move. ------ Do not bring your vehicle here for a safety check. Find somewhere, anywhere else to go. We had two cars we brought to the island and needed to get plates. DMV won't give plates without safety check first, so we come here and get temp inspection cert. A little annoying they don't take appointments and can't inspect more than one car at a time, but otherwise all fine. Get our plates and come back, and instead of just walking in and getting the sticker, we have to sign in and wait another 30 mins. Then they proceed to want to recheck our already passed vehicle, pulling out the "oh, you have tint and didn't pay for the tint inspection before...now we need to reinspect." All this despite the "passed" inspection I hold in my hand that the state already used to give me my plates. Of course, then they find our tint is now too dark. It's measuring illegal in every state the vehicle has ever been registered in, yet somehow non-Hawaiian tint measuring devices must be 10% more sensitive than CA, TX, CO, VA, and AL--those states never found the tint to be as dark as it measures here. But nevertheless: No tint removal, no safety sticker. When I asked how it is that my relatively light tint fails and all these other folks drive around with obviously darker tint on their cars, the answer is "they just know somebody." Moral of the story: if you "know somebody" at Aloha Shell your safety inspection process is probably no big deal. Otherwise, find anyone else to give your business... that's what we'll do from here on out. read more

We spent $50 on gas and they would not allow us to use the bathroom. They do not deserve business.

These guys treated me like dirt. They didn't want to deal with me so they their quote reflect that. They quoted such an unreasonable price that they knew I'd leave. I would have rather been told that instead of letting them waste my time. Will never go back read more

Terrific service station, old fashion hospitality no longer seen in gas stations these days! Paul Hanada, owner has kept the customer as his priority. read more

husband heard that this place does safety checks. I decided to check it out. we spent $1K+ on maintenance for our truck before moving to Maui from Oahu. there were NO lights turned on, on our dash. the main guy that does safety checks gave us a temp safety, because our battery wasn't being held down by the rods (I was aware of that and was waiting for another auto shop to call me when they've ordered the part). as we were driving home, my husband notices that our check engine light was on and the traction off light was on. called the next morning asking about the lights being turned on because it wasn't on prior to getting the safety. they claimed I kept blaming them but I really just wanted an answer as to why and what they did. anyways, came back that day to get the actual safety sticker because the auto shop installed the rods, and he handled the situation with me about the phone call in an unprofessional way. he claimed that he was going to tell me to not come back (as he was laughing). I didn't care at that point and definitely will not be coming back. I got more answers from I.H. Auto Service (which I HIGHLY recommend ANYONE needing any service done and safety checks) than Shell. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! read more

The guys who do the recycling are great and work so hard! Plus you can never get ripped off because they do everything right in front of you. They also have so many people working at all the areas they service. Plus it's a 24 hour service station with 24 hour recycle machines. read more

Aloha Shell Service - Not just cans & bottles! - Auto Repair Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Went here to fill up a slowly leaking tire. I pulled up to the public airpump at the shell, but one of service guys motioned for me to pull into the full service area and he would take a look. Josh was very polite, professional and efficient. While I waited he pulled out a nail and four short wires from my rear tires and patched them up. He also gave me a really good deal because he knew I had to purchase all four new tires in the future. This type of worker really makes a place and truly practices the aloha this place advertises. I am grateful my friend recommended me to come here for my tire fix up and I will definitely recommended this Shell to my other friends in the future. read more

I got a flat tire, and roadside assistance swapped the flat for my spare, leaving me with a tire in need of repair. I went to Aloha Shell, and they were able to assign someone right away to fix my flat, and then remount it. I'm giving them 5 stars because the young woman who did the service had such a great attitude. Out of curiosity (and wanting to learn how to do it next time for myself!) I watched her, and asked some questions. She willingly explained everything as she worked, not like some who might have been grumpy or unfriendly. When she was done, I was left with the spare, which mounts to the undercarriage beneath the bed of the truck, and which I knew I wasn't going to be able to remount by myself. I asked if there was another charge to remount the spare, and she said no. Now, never having had a flat before, I don't know if replacing the spare to it's proper place is usually part of the service. But I asked her if she would help me put it back, and she did so with the same great attitude she displayed all along. Thank you Aloha Shell, for employing someone who takes pride in her work, and exemplifies how to deliver the service in "service station"! read more

I waited for half an hour to hear that owner service manager did not want to do a safety inspection on my car. Poor customer service!

I was impressed right from the start. I came in late afternoon to get my safety completed. I was greeted with a smile and professionalism. My wait time was not very long and everybody's attitude was on point. I will definitely come again. read more

Nice people here. Just got gas but what a great smile everyone there had. It just seemed like they really liked being there. Love that!!

I was going to get my safety check down the street and the wait was 3 hours, so thank God I checked on this place. Excellent service all the way around from the guy behind the counter to the guys who did the work. Was done faster than they estimated. Looks like nothing but good reviews on this place too. Says a lot! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! read more

Please support our businesses on Maui and lower your diesel prices so we could also support you! Your prices are the highest in Hawaii ($4.59) Thank you read more

Read the reviews by Andrew e and Christopher c. These two reviews reflect the truth about how terribly run Aloha Shell is, and also reflect the experiences that I've had with this poorly run station. The owner and his son have no clue about how to run a business, and the mechanics and safety inspectors are generally rude. Avoid at all costs! read more

I reviewed Aloha Shell back in July 2014 but am compelled to do it again. They are simply the BEST auto repair business on Maui. Curt, the manager, is smart and honest and will take the time to help you fix problems with your older vehicle. Thank you Curt and Aloha Shell for all you do for Maui !!! read more

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Aloha Shell next to Kahului post office. My tire starting going flat over the weekend. I kept adding air and knew I needed to get it checked. After calling around for places to plug it, I was quoted it would take 2 hours to all day. Someone suggested Aloha Shell. I pulled into full service. The young man squirted soap water and immediately found a bolt in my tire. He plugged it in less than 5 minutes and I never had to remove the tire. I was just amazed. I had gone to town 2 hours early expecting to wait for a long time. They were friendly, quick and only cost $20. I will definitely return for future tire issues. read more

Best place for safety inspection. Very friendly and helpful... took the extra effort to replace my back light bulb that i did not know was out for me pass - no extra charge!! thank you. read more
