    Once again I am compelled to repeat myself by shouting out genuine accolades to Keoki at KT's Automotive. Keoki runs a tight ship and is consistently lazer focused on taking care of your automotive needs, as well as the motorist behind & before you. You truly have no decision to make or doubt to harbor when your vehicle requires highly competent & prompt service. You can come to KT's with 100% confidence that you will receive unparalleled service at a more than fair & competitive cost in a minimum of time and with a maximum of satisfaction. I'll get down off my soapbox now.....until I need Keoki's help again with my 2020 MBZ van. (Yes, this shop fixes everything that runs....or that doesn't!) Thank you. JP

    Our family's go-to for auto repairs and safety checks! The owner, Keoki, is honest and reliable - we have taken any used cars to him first to check if the vehicle has any issues that would deter us from buying it. He gets super busy, but he'll give you an honest assessment and estimate of when he can get to your vehicle. For the month of June, he's started a food drive - you can head over to his shop at the Kalama Valley Shopping Center and drop off donations during his hours of operation - 8:00 am-5:00 pm Monday to Friday. At the end of the month, they'll take all the donations to the Hawaii Foodbank. Another small business helping to support the community!

    Once again I had an urgent need for swift repair of my van in minimal time. On a Monday morning my chances were less than slim. Turning to a well known Celeb for help, I called Keoki at KT's. While making no promises, he advised me to get my van to him asap. I did that and by day's end my new fuel pump was in and I was back on the road to make a 5pm roofing appointment in Hawaii Kai! Keoki and his entire, incredible team is worth every ounce of your trust & confidence. East Oahu may have some quality shops and KTs has to be among "The Best of the Best!" Precisely Organized, Consistently courteous, highly proficient, humbly professional and even a little embarrassingly moderate in pricing, they do it all! As a retired SoCal firefighter, I'm accustomed to "Perfection" in Customer Service - No Excuses. KT's is right there, offering service at a very high standard, checking all the boxes. Thank you, Keoki. You remain at the top of your game and stellarly entrenched in the Automotive Winner's Circle! Appreciatively, Sincerely Jim (Belmonte's Roofing/Waterproofing)

    Just spent an hour driving to this shop because I had to get the safety replaced for my new car as the previous owner had lost it. According to regulations, safety inspectors are required to replace lost or stolen safety cards but the owner (or manager) argued with me and insisted I needed to have the full safety redone. I don't understand why, as the safety inspector, he didn't understand this rule. I'm just going to forego having to deal with this mechanic again to get a new safety because they clearly don't have any sense of customer service, and not very knowledgeable.

    Been timing them, expecting it to be an hour but nope, they did my safety inspection in less than ten minutes.

    I have taken my car to Tenn's Auto for safety inspections and they handled those efficiently, on…read moretime, and without any issues for several years. I also got help when my a/c failed and they were able to keep my a/c going without a lot more expense on my part. But then my 2010 PT Cruiser seemed to have some serious problems about 4 months ago --initially a dead battery which was replaced on 10/17/25 --but then my car died again within a month and was towed back to Tenn's with what I was told was an anti-theft problem with the key setting off the car's alarm system. Then my car sat for 5 WEEKS while nothing was done until around 12/23/25. I kept calling for updates every week and would be told by the front office staff that they were "short-staffed" and just needed "another week". I also talked directly to the mechanic (Blake) who told me that the car was actually running but he hadn't had time to really investigate what was going on but that he would be able to set aside a few hours before Christmas to figure out what was going on with my car. In the end, the only thing the mechanic could do was put in a temporary battery disconnect system to bypass the key setting off the alarm when I tried to open the car door or turn on the ignition. Except it didn't really work. I texted Blake right after I got my car home and he suggested I wait longer than 5-10 minutes to reset the battery; I should try waiting 15 or 20 minutes. I waited an hour. I tried the next day and the next. I got my car to work once or twice in the next 5 days. But not after that. Tenn's was closed for the holidays until 1/6/26. There was never a way to leave a phone message and my texts to the number that I had previously texted went unanswered. Eventually, I decided to sell my much-loved car for parts since it wasn't running. Two different people showed up who looked at the temporary battery disconnect lever and they were each rather surprised at how it had been installed since it was 1) on the positive battery terminal rather than the negative and 2) it was loose and so close to the metal frame of the car. Evidently this was a risky situation for creating a spark and potential fire each time I used the car. The Tenn's mechanic said on my receipt that my car needed parts that weren't available from their vendor or the dealership (SKIM and PCM module) but as it turned out, I sold my car to someone who was a very experienced mechanic who replaced the worn ignition and got the car running again. It didn't need the two modules that were recommended at all. I'm still really upset because I don't think the Tenn's mechanic knew what he was doing at all but he never gave me the option of taking my car elsewhere; instead he put in a potentially very dangerous and completely inefficient "solution"; wasted a lot of my time and money but most important of all, he undermined my confidence in mechanics in general and Tenn's in particular.

    What they can improve on is not making the same excuse they gave me last year when they canceled my…read moresafety check appointment the day before "our safety check guy is out sick and we don't know when he will be back" same exact excuse as last year.

    Let me first start by saying it is hard looking for a shop that won't take advantage of you…read moreespecially as a female since most of us like myself are clueless on auto repair. I searched and searched for somewhere that seemed like their reviews reflected that same thing i was looking for. Falling on some hard times i had a registration that was expired for 2 years as well as my safety and my car hasn't been maintenanced in god knows how long, thank goodness i have a Toyota! Finally able to stop riding dirty and get caught up, i was in search for someone to check my service light as well as do my failed safety so i could get my reg. After searching for a place review after review, it seemed that Pearl City Auto Works stood out to me. I messaged on yelp and someone got back to me within an hour or two and i was told to bring the car the following day to get looked and and possibly leave it overnight. Even though i need my car, i was going to do what it took so i can get my car legal again. Upon checking in i was greeted by a Shay ( i think that was her name) she went over everything with me. I left and later that day around 5:30 i got a call from the tech saying that everything was done and i could pick it up, i was confused because it was past their working hours but he said they were still working! That was already amazing to me that they were working even after they were technically closed. They also have a texting system with pictures to tell you what is good about your car, what needs to be fixed sooner rather than later and things that need to be fixed but not as urgent. As another reviewer said they have a lot of parking as they are located near where Ige's is. Upon pick up i got my bill and was not overcharged for anything and they did not try to do services that were unnecessary, very affordable in my eyes. I am definitely coming back here again and again!! Love the customer service and even when i talked to the technician he was super nice, usually they are grumpy and trying to end the convo. If you need somewhere good to take your car where they won't rip you off please come here!
