    Fill gas here many times. But this review is for the CAR WASH, Never again. Today I went, and when I got home the entire right side of the car, and the entire back truck door was still full of dirt! Like what? First there was the guys that power wash the car before it enters the machine. Then there are the guys that hand wipe the car of excess dirt. But still my car is dirty. I paid for the Pro $27.21! So sad.

    If you are looking for a fast wash and don't care to have the inside of your car taken cared of (windows wiped down, and vacuuming) then this place is pretty good. They do a precleaning and then send you on your way through the machine. I like foaming action as it reminds me when I used to foam my cars in the past (I'm getting too old and not enough time) and then detail them. They are pretty affordable and they wipe your vehicle down when you come out. The line isn't too long when I go unlike some other places which makes it appealing.

    This review is for the car wash section.... they are fast, efficient, reasonable, & friendly! They do a great job of working together to get you in and out with a sparkling clean car and you don't even need to get out of the car You can put gas here, they have a little store & they also have a vacuum coin operated area if you need !

    No line! My Lucky day I guess :) Since the truck I borrowed is too high and I don't have a step ladder to wash it myself, I decided to take it here because it was close by. First thing I noticed was no line. Second thing I noticed was the price went up. Kind of a bummer but oh well. I guess it was to accommodate the additional workers they have now? I paid, then I asked nicely if they could shoot down the back of the truck bed, he said no problem. He walked around and carefully removed the antenna. A guy on each side of the truck proceeded to remove the bird poo off the windshield. Then a guy directed non verbally to me on getting the truck into the tire track. After the wash, three guys came over to hand dry the truck, even the inside of the door. That's a nice touch! Now it's clean, gassed up, and ready to return. Thanks Ngon for letting me borrow your truck!

    If you're looking for a good car wash, this is a great place. This is a drive thru wash, but there are 2-3 guys who pre-soap and scrub your car while you wait to enter the drive thru. Then after the drive thru is done, more guys dry your car off with rags. They do a really good job, especially considering the price: $18-$22 The wait is about 20 minutes with a long line, and the wash itself is about 5 minutes. McKinley Wash wait time was crazy with people lined up out to the street, and street shine was 2 1/2 hours (and $60). Who has 1-2 hours to wait? Of course those two places clean the inside, but for $20 and a short wait? This place rocks! (You can pay to vacuum youself at self serve va s on site. Located on the corner of Berretania and Makiki, and connected to the 76 station if you need gas. Dont forget to tip at least a few bucks! TLDR; if you only have a few minutes, want a great outside car wash for only $20, this is the spot!

    We had to wash car today and my fiancé and I were feeling lazy. Ever since The Car Parlor closed down, we are so thankful that Don's Makiki Service was open. Prices are very reasonable and they wipe your car down afterwards. The Car Parlor didn't even do that. We will definitely be back again if we're feeling lazy. We got the ProPlus package which was $21.99 + $1.04. So total was $23.03 so not bad. They also take card so it made it really convenient!

    Scratches on my car as a result of the car wash

    I called the shop before heading over at 9pm on Saturday and Maggie's response was that it is common sense that I would need to bring the car in the daytime for her to be able to see the damage properly. The only reason I had planned on going at that time was specifically to accommodate her work schedule. She asked that I bring it in at 9am on Monday instead. I took half a day off from work to bring my car in. Maggie was not the one who looked at my car, but I had been told multiple times when I called that I would need to work around her schedule. The man who looked at my car said he's been in the business since 1996 and there was no way the damage could've been from the car wash. Ultimately, I knew the burden of proof was extremely high, but wished they could have had better communication and been more accommodating. I had told them the pictures were posted here and if they knew all along they would not be accepting any responsibility based on what the damages look like, I would have appreciated them communicating that over the phone instead of having me take off from work to bring my car in.

    VIP Towing

    (555 reviews)

    It's never fun getting your car towed. I could mention that other cars parked where I was weren't…read moretowed, and the no parking sign was far from where I parked. But it wouldn't matter. I'm writing this review because if it ever happens to you, you need to know their real address and phone number. They're at 1038 Kapahulu. The only phone number that works was 808-593-1993. It took me an hour of intense internet research to find it. That number is listed for Tow Jam, another trade name for VIP Towing. They are open 24 hours. They charged us $140. The woman I interfaced with was straightforward. They emailed me a link, so I paid on my phone through PayPal. Face it, no towing service is ever going to get a good review. For honesty in advertising, they get 0 stars. Once we took the uber there and handled the transaction, it wasn't bad. So I'll be generous and give them 3 stars. But they need to fix their transparency. Providing the wrong phone number just isn't honest business.

    ZERO STARS. One word: CROOKS!!! How are they even in business?!? I've dealt with a few tow…read morecompanies and this one seems DESPERATE. UNPROFESSIONAL. MISERABLE. Dispatch has a SWEARING and ATTITUDE problem! Bless your heart lady! FYI- for the people looking at reviews....Look up Hawaii Tow Laws! You will find lots of information to build your case ;) Always get a cop involved to add to your case ;) and don't forget to report them to "Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs"!!! It is illegal for a tow company to ask for cash only even if their machine is broken! ILLEGAL! FRAUDS!
