My experience at Choice Automotive was absolutely exceptional, and Catie truly set the standard for what outstanding customer service should be. From the moment I walked in, she was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right vehicle. She took the time to really listen to my needs, worked thoughtfully within my financial situation, and made sure every detail was handled with care. I never once felt pressured -- only supported and respected throughout the entire process. Because of Catie's dedication and expertise, I was able to drive away in a vehicle that perfectly suits both me and my family. That level of service is rare. If you're going to Choice Automotive, do yourself a favor and ask for Catie. She delivers excellence. read more

Wrote the below a few days ago with 3 stars however with some research I am rescinding those 3 stars because I found out this IS INDEED a statewide problem. The DMV is extremely backlogged. This is not Choice Autos fault. Well, cars great and the buying processes was great ... HOWEVER we somehow missed is that the safety inspection had expired 6 months prior to our purchase... and as of now, STILL no registration papers received. So here we are 3 months later, a 5k down and 2 payments processed (auto loan) but the car is still not in our name. Been pulled over twice already luckily they let us go without a ticket. Its un-nerving driving around a car with expired registration & safety. When we call they just say they are waiting on the state. HUH???? The cops said they should not be selling cars that safety & registration is not current. Last time we got pulled over a month ago car was still in old owners name. Unsure what to do at this point. read more

Catie was so easy to work with and made the whole experience smooth. She moved around a bunch of cars for us and took us on a test drive. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We were even working with some time constraints and she was able to make it all finish up by the time we needed! I'd recommend choice auto and Catie in particular! read more

Justin made the whole car-buying process smooth and stress-free. He worked hard to get me a great deal on my 2015 Hyundai Genesis and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way.

You looking for a vehicle come and check out Mikey and EZ their good here at choice auto. Quick and easy. Awesome THANK YOU

Mikey was the best helper!!!!!!!! He got me into the 4 runner i wanted. So quick and easy

Update as it's been a year and a month, ON GOD, I got ripped off. I look at other civics getting posted for 25-30K and they are newer with less miles or brand new, but my car was 36K and I put a $1000 down. I had good credit and a co-signer. I should've researched my car better before I signed bc it was only worth 25K on KBB at the time. Stuck with it for the next 5 1/2 years now, also within the month I bought the car I had 6 different error codes pop up while driving for my brake systems and a few others smh. Makes it real hard to want to trust buying from them again. read more

Choice Automotive - Car Dealers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Purchased our SUV in December 2024. Returned it the next day to get fixed because the alignment was off, the steering wheel was kept getting stuck like it was sticky and the breaks kept squeaking. When we took it back we were assured that it would be fixed no problem. We just got our car back TODAY! Multiple calls throughout the month of waiting where nobody that answered knew what was going on with the car (if it was being fixed or still waiting) up until last week when they told me the part had just came in and it'll be fixed by this week "hopefully". We just got home and I'm extremely disappointed. After pulling doubles at work all I wanted to do was come home and relax. When driving home it seems like nothing was fixed! The problems with the alignment seems a little better but not completely, the stickiness of the steering wheel is the exact same as it was when we dropped it off and now we have dents, scratches and dirt everywhere including inside!! Not to mention they left a huge bulky box in the trunk!! Unreal. They ask you to leave a 5 star review literally right after the purchase is made final. I'm just lost for choice words. read more

Do not waste your time and money here! I bought a total lemon. I initially rated them 5 stars thinking I got a good deal, Boy, was I wrong! From the screw and nail in my tires to the engine problem and then now trying to get my refund on the unused extended warranty I had purchased. Long story short, I ended up trading in my van to a different car dealership and was totally upfront with them. The salesman was my cousin's friend and yes, I should've gone to him first but I didn't know she had connections. He was able to find what I wanted and I got a great deal on my next vehicle. I have now had my van for 5 months with no problems at all. As for CHOICE AUTOMOTIVE, I have attempted over 5 or 6 times since trading in my old van to get my refund with no response! You have no idea how much it is still a nightmare for me! read more

Thank you Ekahi . read more

Mikey took great care of us. Helped us get into the car we wanted for the price we needed. He listened to our needs, and was so accommodating. If you go to Choice ask for Mikey he will take great care of you! read more

To be transparent, I can't fully recommend them as I have not gone through the buying process with them. I did speak with Chris over the phone while shopping for a new car, he was very helpful and diligent in getting me answers to my general questions. They also had a text thread where a few reps reached out here and there, it wasn't super pushy (which I appreciate) and it stopped completely with a pleasant send-off from them when I informed them that I got a vehicle elsewhere. I would definitely check out their inventory and touch base with them to see what they can do for you, doesn't hurt to have them as an option. read more

Tommy, an awesome salesman! Great personality! Need all salespersons to be like him! Even sent me a video of the car I came to see, when I had to unexpectedly leave for a short while! read more

This is a 2-part review. During the purchase, Orana and the rest of the staff at Choice Auto were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They were very responsive throughout the car purchasing process. I appreciated the upfront negotiations. I am very happy with the purchase of my vehicle. Edit: Fast-forward three months, and I still haven't received my car registration. I've gotten the runaround from the staff and will now file a complaint with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. I initially gave them a 5-star rating on Google but have since reduced the 5-star rating to 1-star for poor service after the sale. read more

If there was a 10 star Button thats what i would give this Auto Dealership! Best buying experience i ever had!! Thank you so much for the Team at Choice Automotive and especially to my Salesman Schyler!! Went beyond my expectations when they made my wish come true! Got a 2024 Tesla 3 Performance Loveeeee it!!! read more

I bought my car here back in April, and to this day (October) I still have not received the registration. The original registration expired in June, and although they collected money from me to extend it, nothing has been resolved. When I call the registration department, they rarely pick up the phone. Yet, when it comes to sales, they text back right away. Unbelievable. Nice cars, but extremely poor service and follow-through. read more

I would run away, fast you can. I wanted to buy a second Tacoma because my truck is getting fixed. When I looked at the truck it had rust on the front metal fabrication bumper and alot of scratches on both sides and dents on the tailgate. They were selling this truck for $39995 because of the small lift of 3.5 inches with kings. There was no spare tire by the way which is Rubbah. They also told me it was low mileage when the taco had +70k miles I offered them $32995 and the sales lady was being way too pushy saying "everybody wants a yota and I have a appointment in three days." The manager came out and told me sorry brah no can. Guess the appointment became a disappointment because it's still available and they told me I can take out a loan with another company to put as a down payment. Yah no that's more debt. Did I mention that that part of the plastic on the bumper is sticking out . read more

I bought a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser from Choice Auto and it has been nothing but trouble since owning it. Drove it home and heard a grinding noise when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. The battery died on me the next day of owning it. They still haven't processed my Registration or Safety Check. They still haven't given the Title to Navy Federal where I financed the vehicle. When I told Choice Auto about the grinding noise, Brandon, one of the manager said he'll take care of it. Had me drive it to Willy's Transmission and told Choice Auto it will cost $4800 to repair. Brandon and the salesperson, Mikey, assured me they will take care of it even though their 90 day warranty only covers up to $1500. Another manager, Gabe, called and told me they can double the coverage of the 90 day warranty to $3000 and I explained to this manager that Brandon said they will cover everything. Gabe then basically told me take or leave it. I am filing a complaint with Better Business Bureau, and will also file a civil lawsuit against Choice Auto. Do not do business with this Choice Auto as you will have nothing but headaches dealing with them. And to Brandon, please do right and keep your word of taking care of the bad transmission. read more

I Went To Purchase A Vehicle From Here And I Got Nothing But The Run Around. The Sales Man Kept Hitting On Me & Asking Me Personal Questions That Had Nothing To Do With Purchasing A Car.

What If That Was Your Child, Siblings Or Other Half Being Treated That Way. read more

If you're looking for a nice deal. I do recommend coming down to Choice Automotive. We've had a good experience and Schuyler had good customer service. You should definitely ask for him. He was patient, answered our questions, and made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. read more

Thanks to Schyler for making it an easy process to finance a car:)) I recommend him!!

I wrote this company an excellent Review during the purchase of my car because I felt like they were Honest , but to my dismay They weren't honest at all , I bought a Tahoe in march and from the first day it has had problems, I have tried for 11 months for them to honor there 3 month warranty, and I was sold a $3250 service contract that no one takes on the island except for there friends shop starkeys which doesn't answer phone calls or returns calls or text , but that fine because there reviews are just as bad ! I have been patient but it's clear I need to go another route, LEARN YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS PEOPLE YOU HAVE MANY LEGAL OPTIONS, As-is Vehicle doesn't hold up without Good Faith, Look at your contract ( the tiny way it's presented to you is already misrepresented) IF YOU WERE FINANCED THROUGH THEM GET YOUR COPIES OF YOUR CONTRACT FROM THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. IF YOU ARE ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE CONTACT RICO , DCCA, Attorney generals office, FTC, You'll be surprised what is considered as fraud!!! Look at your truth and lending contract look at the finance charge , ask your self why is it so high !!! Then take it straight to a lawyer !!! REQUEST A COPY OF YOUR CREDIT APPLICATION AND COMPARE IT TO YOUR ACTUAL CREDIT !!!! read more

Lied to me bout installing a $750 stereo in my used 2015 scienna van. I googled stereo they installed wasn't even $200?! Also did not do full maintenance check. If at all!!? Bought the van September 2023 on Labor Day. October 29,2023 bought all new tires. In July found my front tires needed to be replaced due to worn out front control arm. Both sides!! ALL the mechanics and shops i told where I purchased van from shook their heads. And said never go there !! obviously the front control arms were already worn out when I purchased van! Obviously sales people there only want to make money off the customer. And don't care bout the condition of the vehicle or the customer!!? Money, money , money pack rats!!! read more

Report your experience! Yelp does not allow me to provide links to legal resources for others seeking assistance after purchasing a vehicle here. Like many others on this page, Choice Automotive asked me to write a 5 star review (which was a red flag and is against yelps guidelines) before I bought the car, so don't only trust good ones, as they are not all accurate. It's easy to spot these as they are usually written before they drive off the lot and sign paperwork, so they sound extremely hopeful and optimistic. Many others have had to trade in their broken cars for another at a loss, since choice refuses to buy back the vehicles they sell. This helps explain the F rating on BBB. The person who referred me to them was also paid $250. Honest businesses who have been operating for 15 years shouldn't need to pay others for referrals and ask for reviews before they've even made the sale. Naive, I thought I just had really bad luck with my car until realizing the scam at play - they knowingly sold it to me broken (negligence). They apologized and said that it was the salesman's fault, and that he no longer works with them. They told me to go to their mechanic who would fix it for free. They kept my vehicle for a month or more each time, and when I got it back, it broke again and again within a week/first couple drives each time. The car started smoking after I picked it up the last time, and it turned out that they removed a part from under the hood after "fixing it for free" for a month! I'm looking into filing a class action lawsuit just so that they can't keep doing this to people. If you read through these, it's the same story over and over. Feel free to message me! read more

I was looking to sell my car, I was recommended by a few friends to check out choice auto. The experience was great, from beginning to end I was well taken care of and they kept their word on price and time they were going to deliver the check. They even gave me a ride home. 10/10 service quick and simple transaction. read more

Mickey and Gabe were very helpful and the entire process was easy! I recommend this dealership!

Mike Wu and Brian were so helpful and the service there was amazing. Start to finish I was driving off in my new pre owned car and happy as a seagull with a French Fri. They helped me get approved on a car that I really wanted, they were friendly and gave me snacks and drinks while I waited. It was painless and quick. read more

Choice auto sold me a straight dud. I brought home the car October 23 and by November 10 my tire wasn't holding air. November 18 it started driving weird and the brakes went out. In November 27 my tire flew off my car. Everything before I even made my first car payment. Might I also add that they sold me the car without safety and made me sign the papers before I even saw the car. I originally went in for a different car but realized it wasn't worth it and when I told the salesman they brought out the manager to talk me into buying it. When they realized I wasn't budging the showed me the lifted 4Runner but knew nothing about it which should have been the first red flag. Then they wanted me to sign the paperwork for it that night before I even saw the car because it was at a different lot. Stupidly I agreed because I didn't know better (I'm young and went alone). Only after signing everything I was informed that the safety was backed on the car and that I would have to take care of it to get my registration. I went home thinking nothing and the next day I went in to see the car and from afar it was gorgeous. When I walked up to it I realized every single rim was curbed and there was a small dent in the rear passenger panel. When i drove it, it drove a little soft and I thought nothing of it. It was fine for the first few weeks then my tire wouldn't hold air and I realized the rim was cracked and I don't drive crazy enough to make that happen. After that, while driving I heard a pop sound and my brakes went out and my wheel was wobbling along with my front passenger tire so I parked it until I had the time to take it in to get it fixed. While driving it to get it fixed my tire came off because all my stubs snapped. I just got it back from the shop and so far the very much recommended I figure out what's wrong with my brakes along with fixing my SPC ball joints, shocks, hub caps, along with figuring out why almost every light is on on top of my dash. I notified choice auto when my tire fell off while driving, downhill might I add, and they said they would have to appraise it after I asked them to just buy it back for what I owe on the loan and also said they would only cover $1500 for repair costs but only on certain things. So far I've spent over 5k within the past month to try to get it to where it can drive again. So, if there's anything you can take away from my personal experience of choice auto, let it be that you shouldn't even bother. And if you read this please learn from my mistakes. read more

I waited to make my review because of the problems I was having with the car I purchased. Would have given a five star rating except for that one problem. To start off the sale and purchase went smoothly a without a hitch. Car was in excellent condition. I didn't get the car inspected as I brought used cars before. As a standard procedure, I would purchase the extended warrenty, and then have the car checked. This has worked out well in the past as my mechanic would find problems and then I would get it fixed under the warranty. This time didn't work for me BECAUSE, tried to contact them about the extended warranty for the problems found. At first they said they would contact their shop. But after that, I got ghosted. Every time I called I had to leave a message because the person I needed to talk to wasn't available. I finally went there personally, and found the person was working with another customer. I waited for the customer to leave, I thought I would be next. But was informed there was another customer in front of me. Òk, I'll wait. Anyway, anybody knows buying a car takes a long time. I left a message to call me. Two days later, still no call. I'm giving 4 stars here because the sale was smooth and quickly done and deducted one star for the lack of follow up. This is my review, up to you on how you want to do business with them. FYI: No complaints about the purchase. Only minor mechanical issues. read more

Choice automotive has nice cars and good deals. I would recommend anyone to buy a vehicle here. Unfortunately I had a horrible experience with the sales rep "Mikey" he never has answers to any of my questions he always says he will "get back to me " and never does. He always has to "let me know " and he never does. I will always have to speak with managers there because of his lack of concern for his customers and experience. Mikey has terrible customer service. Zero effort and concern. Horrible communication. read more

Lack of communication , truck first two days alredy down been in the shop for 1 month . I wouldn't buy a single car from them.
