    Signage in front of
    Craig T.

    Thanks for the recommendation my fellow Yelp Peeps. On Monday I took my father in law car for a safety check . I normally I go to a place on Dillingham Blvd . Although with all the construction of the rail I decided to head down on Queen St. I seen a few reviews on Yelp regarding Great People Auto . When I got there 4 cars already was ahead of me . To my surprise it goes by quickly . The service there is friendly quick and efficient. I believe they only do safety check because they have a system and it really works . There's a gentleman cones to your car and collects your registration and car insurance than he ask you tomorrow pull your car into the garage. Then the other guy tells you to turn on all your signals and the run down . Before you know it it's all complete than your backing your car out and on your way . Support local and local businesses

    Look for this sign

    Safety check in Honolulu, Hawaii... One of the ladies at church noticed that my Safety Check was expired. She advised me to go to the shop on Queen Street - no appointment needed. Well... there are several car shops on Queen Street. I was hoping that she meant Great People Auto because that's the one that popped up on my Yelp app when I searched for "Safety check". My friends (Angel, Irene, Jarod, Cecily, and Maggie) all wrote 5-star reviews for Great People Auto. It was a no-brainer to drive here. The signage is clear and visible. A nice man motioned for me to pull my car up into the shade. I stayed in my vehicle and handed over my car registration, last Safety check, and car insurance documents. He asked me to turn on my left signal, right signal, head lights, brake lights, windshield wipers, etc. It was so easy and just $26. Wow! What a deal! Another guy filled out some forms and placed the new sticker on my vehicle. After I received my documents back, I drove off... What a wonderful experience! Thank you for your efficiency!

    First timer here and I'm still shocked at how quick and efficient these guys were! There were 2 cars ahead of me when I arrived and still managed to get in and out in less than 15mins! Bravo gentleman

    Bring cash if you want to save $3. I didn't mind it.

    I kid you not. Literally took less than 8 minutes from the time I pulled up and there was a car in front of me too. It was the fastest safety check I have ever done and the people who were helping me were so friendly. Safety check always gives me anxiety because I panic when people telling me to turn on my signal light...right, left side, press your break...etc.... lol... I don't know why but it does. This will be my go to place now. I drove from Pearl City to town just to get a safety check because I was tired of waiting at the known places in my area. Great people were really great and they were efficient. Get your safety check here.

The diagnostic revealed Crash Zone Faults still stored on board. Mr. Niki's explanation was thorough, understandable to this elderly veteran, Mr. Niki recommended I contact Insurance Adjuster explain the situation. Instead of we can fix it, Mr. Niki's recommendation was the wisest. He was not deterred about losing a future customer in explaining that what we needed is a little beyond the their capabilities, given the dealership would have the Vehicle specific diagnostic tools and the ability to factory reset the electronics. We will be having our XC60 veicle serviced by Neue Auto LLC in the future. The Neue Auto provided the service at no cost to me, as explained, we were not able to correct/repair the problem.

They're usually able to take me in pretty soon too which is great. On my most recent visit, I went in thinking I needed specific work done, but Codi realized it was a totally different issue. He fixed it right then and there, so I didn't even need the major work I thought I did! As a woman in my early 20s, I'm always prepared to be sold on things I don't need, but that never happens here. They're so good at explaining what happened and I've never felt ripped off. The reception area is nice with AC, water, and a TV, plus a huge perk is that they pay for your one way ride share from the shop after you drop your car off.

Amin took care of me by asking me questions, testing out my car, and explaining possibilities of what could be causing the issue. The challenge is that it is intermittent and it's difficult to reproduce. He did his best to try and replicate it, but wasn't able to. Although I took some of his time to look at my car, he didn't charge me anything as diagnostics didn't need to be run due to no engine light appearing. I truly appreciate the support he provided, top notch. And they are easy to reach out using Yelp messages (just make sure that it sends properly). Thank you, Amin.

The truck also has a weird odor inside. I'm not sure why. When I asked how much it would be to paint the roof it was first $700 then when I agreed to the 3 panels I told him I'd pay for the top on my own dime the price went up over double $1500 for 1 panel. SMH never again. So for 3 panels one being the truck bed it was $1900 then to paint 1 more panel the roof was an extra $1500 just doesn't add up

It cost $216 just to check it out and this does not apply to the repair. Left the car there, with in a few hours, they call back and gave us an estimate. Since they need to wait for parts and they asked us to pick up the car and set up an appointment to bring it in later for the actual repair. It appears they are very busy, we need to wait a few days before they have opening. At this time, they told us if I pay cash, I can get a discount. I forgot if it is 5% or more. I wished they would have say something early on so that I can pay cash for my initial $216 fee. Make sure you ask about that cash discount deal. Anyhow, repair day come, drop off the car at 7:30am, get my car back by the end of the day. (They close at 5pm) Car is running OK for now. The mechanics work there look pretty young, I was wondering how experience they are, but I do not want to judge them by their age at this time. Time will tell if the repair is good. They did say they have a 12 months warranty for their repair which is good. (Update - two days after we had the car back, the check engine light is back on again! We have to take it back but we have to wait for a week before they have opening to check it. I hope the "warranty" will cover this and I do not have to pay extra.
