It was time for my 60k maintenance on my car and I really needed to get it done. I honestly put it off for a while because the estimated cost from the dealer was astronomical. I'm talking $800+ for the "recommended" service given my car's mileage. Things are already rough for us local folks... $800+ would have been impossible. I'm also not a "car guy", so there's that. Thankfully, my wife took her car to Car Geeks before. I remember her showing me the multipoint inspection report with photos, recommendations, and suggestions for which actions to prioritize. I appreciated that the Car Geeks team provided that. Making an appointment was pretty straightforward. I told them what I needed and they answered my questions (I was particularly concerned about cost). I showed up to my appointment as scheduled. They completed the multipoint inspection and went over the recommended actions (brake fluid flush). I also received the results from the inspection in a link via text message. Once I agreed to the additional service, I approved it on the web page. However, in order to get the work done, the team needed to remove the tire for access. I explained that, unfortunately, my wheel lock key had not been returned by the previous shop I went to. In fact, it was my second set that was not returned. The Car Geeks team reviewed options with me again. They asked if I wanted to wait until I got the new key, but I said that was unlikely and I've been wanting to just switch to regular lug nuts to prevent future headaches. No problem. They were able to get that done for me as well. The team also kept me updated regularly during the visit. By the time the work was done and paid for (definitely not $800+), I was both impressed and thankful for their clear communication and teamwork. Even though I'm not a car guy, I felt like I was in the driver's seat the whole time. I was very satisfied with the work and will return to Car Geeks for future work. Mahalo nui! read more

I got my oil changed at a different venue and was told my cold line was leaking. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Car Geeks and they set me up for a diagnostic appointment. When I brought the car in, they asked me for more information which I didn't have since the last venue didn't show me the leak. The team asked to look at my vehicle and after just five minutes they assured me no work was needed on the vehicle. The team saved me time and money and I truly won't forget it. My husband and I will be bringing our cars here as they easily could've charged me or taken advantage of my situation and they didn't. They saved a girl money, time and stress. They also educated me on what the signs would be if my cold line were leaking and I really appreciated it. Thank you Car Geeks! read more

I would like to retract my complaint on the grease handprint on my truck car seat. I wasn't expecting an outcome on my review but instead I got a courtesy phone apology call from the owner himself who told me next time to let him know right there on the spot which I should have done instead of writing a review. He also compensate me for the cleaning service, which I thought was very gracious of him. I will continue to bring my vehicle to Car geek because there Services are affordable, and they are honest people! read more

I've taken a couple of my cars here for safety checks, a brake flush, and wheel alignment. It's very easy to make appointments online and with my most recent visit, Car Geeks was flexible with rescheduling me via phone. Quick service, great communication, and awesome prices. Servco recommended a brake flush and said it'd be $218. I told them I'd shop around instead. The same service was $99 at Car Geeks. They have a waiting room if you don't have a ride. Complimentary coffee and water, comfy chairs, and a TV. I'll be a frequent customer here for as long as they're open. read more

This is the only car repair shop in Kapolei that has AAA approval, so had my Jeep towed there by AAA when it needed repairs. I was grateful they diagnosed the problem and did the repairs the following day even though I didn't have an appointment. Photos and videos were texted to me along with recommendations. No pressure and no price gouging. They offer 10% discount on repairs for AAA members. I plan to keep using Car Geeks. The only drawback-- closed on weekends. read more

Car Geeks is the place to bring your car to if you want honest people that won't rip you off. My car had a rattling noise while I was driving to work at 6:30AM, the only place open soon was LB so I brought my car there. After waiting for 5 hrs, they told me I need to change my struts for $2400. I was already having a bad day and was too overwhelmed, so I left with my car instead. I called car geeks at 1PM and they said they can take a look at it and dropped off my car. They called me two hours later saying I don't need to replace anything, tightened the bolts and noise gone, and no charge. I was so happy after a really bad day. This is the third time I brought my car there. They care about what they do. Efficient and honest people. read more

Requested a brake inspection as expected I needed a full brake service. Pictures and quotes were texted over and other services that were recommended and I got a lot done for a fair price. Will be returning for other maintenance jobs in the future. read more

As someone who is determined to figure out the root cause of an issue, especially when it comes to the safety of my car, I'm so relieved to finally find an auto repair shop that I want to regularly go to. I'll spare all the details and the long story of how I got here, but the main highlight of Car Geeks is that they provide quality service for a reasonable price. Most dealerships, shops, and mechanics I've encountered have inflated the costs for their services and have misdiagnosed my car issues or would say that there's nothing wrong without saying why or providing a well-informed explanation. When I called Car Geeks to see if they can fix my car issues, Keegan was very patient and helpful in talking through what the issues could be and asked clarifying questions to see if the issues were something the shop could figure out. I found out that Keegan was a technician prior being brought onto the customer service team, which was so helpful because I was able to receive thorough explanations and possible solutions when I was unsure of what the specific issues were. From there, I felt assured to book an appointment with Car Geeks to inspect and diagnose my car. When I pulled up to the shop, Keegan greeted me and went through the issues with me again to take notes to share with the technicians. I dropped my car off for the day and the awesome thing was that after the diagnosis, Car Geeks sent me a full report of their inspection with photos, if a part of the car was in good condition or needed to be repaired right away/in the future, and what the total cost would be depending on what I chose to repair. It's nice because they don't start the repairs until you confirm them and feel comfortable with it, and they can talk with you on the phone through it before moving forward. I overall really appreciated that they did very comprehensive inspections looking at the whole health of my car instead of only looking at one part which may or may not be the issue, without looking at if anything else is impacting or connected to what needs to be repaired. The team is very skilled at their work and is very efficient, so they were able to figure out the root cause of multiple issues and repair them all in the same day. The lead mechanic was enthusiastic about doing the subframe alignment for my car, which I found out after calling several shops that Car Geeks was the only one I could find nearby out of those shops that could do this work. The total cost of the repairs for multiple issues was less than the cost of what the previous shop was going to charge for one part they were going to repair that also turned out to be a misdiagnosis. So happy that I was able to find Car Geeks, who also has the most reviews I've seen for an auto repair shop with lots of positive feedback from customers who had great experiences with them too. Many thanks to the team who worked with me and my car: Keegan, Kyle, Erik, Rockne, Logan, and Omy. Keep up the great work and I appreciate all that you do! read more

I went there today for my 2023 Nissan Versa. Just checking for a baseline price. I asked the price for an oil change. They said $95. I told that is the dealer price. The lost my business at that point. I then asked if I could supply parts if needed as Napa is almost next door. Told, No. So that was it for me. Keep looking. read more

A service dealer informed me that my Honda Pilot needed servicing due to throttle body issues, which were affecting my acceleration and making my car feel like it was struggling while driving. Wanting a second opinion, I took my car to Car Geeks for an inspection. They confirmed that a full throttle body cleaning was necessary, along with an oil change. When I asked about the cost, they quoted me $140 for the cleaning--significantly lower than the $600 price the dealer had given me for the exact same service. Not only did they provide high-quality service, but they also performed a full diagnostic and gave me a prioritized breakdown of repairs--what needed immediate attention versus what could wait. They completed the throttle body cleaning and oil change in just two hours. On top of that, their customer service was outstanding. The manager and the team member who checked me in were extremely professional and friendly. They truly live up to their name, Auto reair with Integrity, which is rare in an industry where many shops take advantage of customers who may not know better. From now on, I'll be referring all my family and friends to this company. It's refreshing to see an auto shop that genuinely values honesty and customer care. Wishing them continued success! read more

Mahalo Kyle and Car Geeks! Made an appt online for Safety check. Preferred time 3 days out from initial submission and backup apt. time the following week. Received a text confirming they received the submission and they would reach out to confirm the appt. time. Not long after i received a call back to confirm my backup apt time. Received a reminder text about my upcoming appt the day before the actual appt. Day of, the shop was easy to find. I showed up 15 min early and parked in one of the numbered stalls in front of their bays and found my way into the customer waiting room where Kyle worked the intake. Very clean waiting area and Kyle is friendly and easy to talk with. During the inspection, I received a text with a website link to updates and photos with options and pricing to approve suggested things that were found. I love that. It saves time, is efficient and I can see a clear summary with photos. Overall I had a great experience from booking an appt. to completion. The whole process was smooth and efficient. The appointment itself was fast and completed earlier than expected. Great customer service! read more

Car Geeks - Driveway entrance to Car Geeks - Auto Repair Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Needed to find a new car maintenance place as the one at the Kapolei shopping center was chaotic not answering the phone and not logging down our Car appointment. Car Geeks was thorough providing an outstanding inspection list and using online technology. Each inspection provided a ranking of red, yellow and green and provided an estimate of each item needed to be repaired, which I could accept or decline. Very convenient. read more

Grab your popcorn and enjoy my review. I was leisurely driving from a Costco run when suddenly I felt a jerk and next thing you know, it's as if my car has lost power. On my dashboard are FOUR warning lights: check engine, VSA, TPMS, and EPS. I had to pull over and then eventually make my way home, albeit very slowly. I'm dumbfounded to say the least. After some amateur research, the conclusion seemed to be battery or alternator. As such, I take it to Autozone for a free battery and alternator check up. Checks out fine. Here's the interesting part. I tell the Autozone guy I'll take it to the shop behind their store and he stops me and tells me, no, take it to Car Geeks. Of course I'm like, he's either got family there and wants to give my business to them or this guy knows the guys in the back are no good. Either way, Car Geeks it is! I make my journey in my barely powered up vehicle to Car Geeks. They're quite a ways away but not hard to find. I pull in to the lot and make eye contact with Kyle who walks over to me. I tried my best to explain my understanding of the situation but of course, nothing like bringing out the troubleshooting tools for something more concrete. Unfortunately, I had to leave it with them for the day as is the nature of diagnostics (especially when cause isn't obvious). Got my bro to pick me up and I leave my car, keys, and information with Kyle. As we're driving away, I immediately get a call from Kyle letting me know that the main issue (not necessarily the cause) that showed up were my fuel pumps. Of course no one is ever happy to hear the quote for the replacement part but alas, my need for a working car outweighs the consequences of not having a working car. I approve the replacement for the low pressure fuel pump. I felt relieved as at least I knew what the possible cause was and the repair price was within my budget...or so I thought. Here is what I love about Car Geeks - COMMUNICATION. They're very good at communication. Before the end of the day, the tech gives me a call and let's me know that after replacing the low pressure pump (autocorrect keeps changing it to pimp ‍) it looks like the high pressure pump is also problematic. The good news, he can replace that too. The bad news? Only the dealer carries this part and it's marked up the ass. However, the tech informs me that we'll make this work. I give my approval to go ahead with the repair. Ultimately, the cost was 1.5 times what I budgeted. Not the best but not the worse either. This morning, just before lunch, I messaged Car Geeks for an update and within minutes I get a call from Kyle to let me know my car is ready for pick up and all those cursed lights are gone. I'm a happy camper - so happy I actually didn't mind paying for an Uber ride there. Drove home happy knowing that I have a working car and I found me a new reliable shop. They get 5 stars from me because: 1). They came through for me when my dealer (the one I rely on the most) would not take me in because they were explicitly told by management not to take walk-ins this week. Lame. 2). They were straightforward - once it was clear they didn't know what was wrong right away, they were upfront about the need for diagnostics and honest with making sure I understood that they can't make promises (i.e they cannot tell me this or that until a diagnostics has been done). 3). Communication - they communicate via text with links to their site for work updates in addition to having one of their guys actually call you up. There's no way you can say these guys don't communicate when they use multiple methods to do so. 4). Upfront about the cost and show of empathy. When the tech tells you even he doesn't have that kind of money to pay for the repair he's quoting you, that's a sign that he's not after your money. My dealer advisor just looks at me blankly like I'm taking too long when I show concern about the price or repair. 5). Friendly local guys who seem to know their job well and most importantly, love their job. Thanks Kyle and Team! read more

Car Geeks - Auto Repair Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Had a great experience with Car Geeks Kapolei. I called and was able to get a same-day appointment for an oil change and safety check. The shop is nice/clean and the staff greeted me with a smile upon arrival, reviewed the details of my appointment, and got right to work. The waiting room was comfortable and the service took less than an hour. For those coming in for a safety check, be sure to bring an actual insurance card (not a printed copy) or be able to access an image/PDF via your insurance mobile app. The manager was friendly and efficient in reviewing the insurance card and getting me paid out. Receipt was delivered via text message along with details/images of the service, which was nice. Would definitely recommend! read more

I recently came here to get my car inspected and the staff did an excellent job of giving me an honest opinion about the condition of the vehicle as a whole, something a lot of places that repair vehicles seem to lack. There's nothing more important to me than transparency and this place definitely gets top marks for that. Color me impressed! read more

Visited Car Geeks twice. First time I requested a Safety Check in April 2024. Very impressed with how quickly I could get an appointment. Further impressed by their thoroughness and communication. While I sat I got a text message update with a link. The link included a invoice like webpage that stated the service being performed, pics, and recommendations. I had the ability to pay online or pay with the service advisor. I liked them so much I came back 2nd service. My car was squealing was pretty sure was my tensioner and belt. Agreed to drop it off for diagnostics. Got an email and text with a link that included pics and recommendations. I was right about the tensioner but Car Geeks found other problems and ranked them on a color scale of Red, Yellow, Green with recommendations. I knew of 75% of the problems they listed and knew the pricing they gave me was fair and a good value having been quoted by Servco previously. I agreed to ALL of the recommendations and they were able to have it all fixed before 3pm SAME DAY! No having to wait for parts to come in or to schedule another appointment. These guys are awesome. Car Geeks totally live up to the name. read more

Once again!!!! Above and beyond service. BEST repair shop I have ever used. I will recommend CAR GEEKS to all my friends.

Amazing service. Keegan and the crew were awesome. I dropped off my car to get an oil change but I also asked if they could check my breaks. They found that my breaks needed to be replaced. But before they do any work, they'll send you a text message with a link that shows pictures of what needs to be done and the cost associated with the fix. I appreciate the transparency and I get to agree or decline what needs to be done. Also, the price was very fair. For the work they did, if you went to Goodyear or Midas, it would cost you a couple thousand more. Will be going back for all my servicing. read more

I had several things done here including oil changes. Reasonable prices and friendly service is what I appreciate. 5-Star! You should review the other testimonials here - - - - https://g.co/kgs/ncj6J1V read more

Found them when searching for place to do safety. Easy to schedule an appointment. Was promptly greeted on arrival. Safety check took less than 20 minutes total. Friendly staff. I will definitely be going back again. read more

Best place to get your safety inspection. The whole process was quick and very organized. Waiting room was also quiet and comfortable.

Even there once for safety check. I'll definitely go back and try out their other services.

Very reliable service. Easy online booking and worked on my car immediately. Oil change and safety check in an hour is remarkable. Definitely my go to place read more

my knowledge about cars isnt the greatest so bringing my car in anywhere gets me a bit nervous because youll never know how much they'll quote you or what could possibly be wrong with your car. i was referred by a friend to check out cargeeks and i can definitely say, ill be coming back. from the very start, communication was GREAT. got an appointment early in the morning (which is what i was hoping for) and got an appointment quick. told them exactly what i wanted done: an oil change, wheel alignment, and to have my cooling system checked. (i was never able to run the AC in my '02 honda civic for long (especially in traffic) without my car overheating). they texted me a link to my estimate (but of course, like any other place, hard to say until you actual bring your car in for a diagnosis). brought my car in and kyle was super nice and professional from the start. told me it'll probably take a few hours, but they'll keep me in touch with the process. two hours after bringing my car in they not only texted me a link to EVERYTHING they found wrong with my car, but they called me as well. it was a bit overwhelming at first seeing all the other stuff i never knew was wrong, but at least i know now what more work my car needs. i was able to "decline for now or approve" certain things so i could stay within my budget and paid for it easily online instead of doing it there. got a call my car was ready and i was easily impressed! everything that i wanted fixed was fixed. ill definitely be coming back to getting the other problems done. since they have me on file, coming back they'll know what to work on already. how awesome is that? read more

Service at the time was good. I had my alignment done here 6 months ago. I took my car into service today at the dealership and my alignment is off and all my tires have abnormal wear and tear. I do not trust their work here. I would not return even if they offered me a free alignment to fix the issue. read more

I got my safety check here. They were fast, friendly and inexpensive. It's nice to have a car repair shop you can trust.

I needed to get a safety test for my 2009 Yukon and I just happened to see there sign on the road when I was leaving my old place I used to go to and I am very happy I seen that sign. Very friendly and professional service. It was a friendly and easy process to go through for me and I appreciated the timely manner they helped me with this matter. I really appreciate the pricing they gave me. Thank you Car Geeks and I will be back. read more

I brought in both of my cars for expired safety checks. I made an appt over the phone for the next day, and it was super fast and convenient. Will be using them moving forward! read more

Found this place on accident through signs posted near Costco in Kapolei yesterday. I have been trying to get an oil change for months and everyone tells me there is a 3 hour wait and it's first come, first serve. Called this this place hoping they took appointments and they had me in the next day (today). Doesn't have all the commercial signage a big national brand would have but felt good supporting local. Geo, the service adviser helped me out and I was out in a half an hour. The total was less than I would have paid at a big box service center but they are as good. They even had an air conditioned waiting room. I will be back! read more

Signs all over Ewa Beach and Kapolei brought me to this place. I took my Honda Odyssey In to get the wheel bearing replaced along with an alignment. Got the van back and it had a really light noise like something was rubbing on the rotor. I just drove it out a few miles and the noise went away. Now it's smooth and quiet. Appreciate the friendly service and discounts. I'll definitely be back. read more

They really do get back to you ASAP and keep tabs on your vehicle. A representative will either email, text, or call quickly after you inquire on their website. read more

Just need to say it ever since new ownership this place has been top notch!!! I have dealt with different auto shops in the past. They have always been out for the money, and business since they are smaller than Dealerships. NOT this business I have never met more of STRAIGHT SHOOTERS in auto repair shops. They tell me the truth all the time, from hey we can't fix it due to dealer only, or he my this other shop is better for this type of issue due to car specifics. They have never mislead me with my Black Volkswagen Passat TDI. So when I have to take it somewhere else because they wholeheartedly can't work on it I feel bad as a customer for them because I know if they could I would sleep good at night from the work they do. So if you need something done or a truthful answer about your car, I'm telling you they won't feed you BS. Who would have known the sign I saw out on the road in the middle of an intersection light next to Homedepot Kapolei would lead me to an amazing shop. read more

I got quotes from a couple different places for front and rear brakes and theirs was the best. Dropped off my van at 8 and it was done by 10. Good service and good price. read more

Saw signs all over so I took my car to get the AC checked out. The diagnostic cost $99 to see what the problem was, my appointment was at 10:45am so I dropped off my car, they said as soon as they find out they'll call me and let me know what the problem is and give me a quote. 1 hr later I haven't heard anything so I called and no answer, so I called back a 2 hours later, still no answer, I was running errands so I didn't mind. I called after 2pm and they said "oh you can come now, your car is almost done. I said done? Did you guys find the problem? The guys said "I'm looking at the notes in the computer and there's nothing saying what was wrong. I got there and spoke to Geo, he was friendly but he was telling me that the blower motor needed to be replaced. I said "no one called to tell me what the problem was" he said sorry they were busy, So you mean to tell me my car was here over 3 hrs and didn't fix anything??? I was pissed. He said he was gonna text me the quote, so I left. He texted the quote and it was almost $500 for the motor and labor. I was mad, so ended up taking my car to Mikes Ac in Kalihi and he said said there was a clog that's why it wasn't blowing, he unclogged it in 5 mins. He said nothing was wrong with the blower. Wth!!! Im so glad I didn't pay almost $500 for something that didn't need to be replaced. If you have AC issue go you Mikes, you won't be disappointed. Such a BAD EXPERIENCE at Car Geeks, NEVER GOING BACK FOR SURE! read more

We had a rental that got a flat, and looked up closest tire shop to our hotel. They got us in and out within 15 min! Didn't take advantage of our situation by hiking prices or anything. Couldn't recommend enough! read more

Stoked on these guys. They kept me in the loop as to how the repairs were going on my '08 Odyssey were going and were super personable and professional. I really liked the text message diagnostic which included photos and the itemized receipt. Would definitely recommend to friends and family read more

Told me to come in. Went there at 8am with appointment. Waited for over 30 minutes they came out and told me they don't touch Subaru cars. Felt very unprofessional and weird actually what a waste of time! Unbelievable can't believe them. read more

Love these guys. They fixed what was needed, and said come back for the rest in a couple of months. Honest dudes...

Do NOT take your vehicle to Car geeks...I took my car into Car Geeks for AC recharge and vacuum because Nissan had diagnose that was the problem with my AC. I sat there for an hour and then they said that the car is done and it costs this much $XX.xx. I paid and left the shop. I drove the car home and sat in traffic for an hour noticing that the AC is still not blowing cold air. When I got home I went ahead and contacted them to let them know. Car geeks said they will talk with the technician and contact me back right away. Well I didn't get a call back that day so I decided to call them after 3 pm the next day to see what is the hold up. When speaking to them they said they got really busy the day before and couldn't get back to me. He also said that he spoke with the technician and he said that AC compressor needs to be replaced. He will text me the quote for the AC compressor. Well he then sends me a quote for $1100. I call him back and asked when we're they going to tell me I needed the AC compressor to be replaced? I sat there for an hour, paid, and left with nothing said to me about them not being able to fix the problem with my AC not blowing cold, or anything wrong, or the compressor needed to be replaced, or that I had any other problems with the AC. I told him I wanted to speak with the manager, which he said was not in the office right now. I asked him to please take down my name, number, and I wanted the manager to contact me when he gets back in the office. It's been 1 week and they won't answer my calls or my messages, and still no return call. I will NEVER take my vehicles to Car Geeks nor will I ever refer anyone to them. read more
