extremely courteous and highly efficient. Went there 5/4/2025 to see if they could fix an existing plug for a flat that was installed by a tire dealer in mapunapuna. short wait, ate ramen in manoa sc, and soon after got a call that it was fixed! they checked for air leaks and done! very happy camper! read more

Kathy in the office is friendly and efficient & always very helpful The short slim Asian worker is not friendly at all and always seems grumpy and rude almost yelling at people .. it can scare people away from your Business not fair to your loyal customers I will only deal with Kathy for a peaceful transaction when I go there Thank you !! read more

If you value being treated with respect as a customer and appreciated for your business, this may not be the place for you. We felt more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests. I'd recommend choosing a place where customers are genuinely valued. read more

The name of the business tells it all. "Manoa Service Texaco." Indeed, SERVICE is appropriately its middle name. The place is run very efficiently, in a helpful and cordial manner, by Renee and Kathy. It is not a gas-and-go operation. It offers all of the services that my dealership does, along with even more. Recently, my battery died. My car was parked in my garage. I did not have jumper cables or any other means of getting my car started. The station sent someone (Travis) with a portable starter and got my car running. I went directly to the station. My car uses an unusual battery which was not in stock. I was invited to leave my car there while they ordered the battery. Travis drove me home to wait more comfortably. In a short time, they called to tell me that my car was ready for pickup. I asked whether I could pick it up later, since I did not have a ride. No problem. Travis came to pick me up and took me back to get my car. Full service indeed! I use them for all of my auto needs, including safety checks, tire replacements, fluid replacements, bulb replacements, annual tune-ups and more. read more

I've been coming to Manoa Texaco for awhile to get my safety done and I love their service! **Safety Check ~ A safety check is $26.00 here and I definitely recommend you call ahead of time to make an appointment! They are SUPER FAST, it only took 15 minutes to do the safety check so I just walked around Manoa Market place and looked at some stores. Overall, Workers here are really nice and reliable! I'll probably be coming back here every time I need a safety done or possibly any maintenance with my car! read more

2 months ago I went to Texaco in Manoa & a Guy was very nice & put trans fluid in my car & even flushed it 1st* I gave him a funnel I had for the trans, I was so Happy with Him* I thought he was a mgr cus he knew so much and only charged me $8*** But THEN, I went back a month later a wmn yelled at me for walking around looking for him & yell "Get Out the Garage, they're working" cus I kept asking about the guy I didn't see asking if on lunch the MEAN Wmn came out & snapped at me & said that he didn't work there anymore & told me to go. She said you must make appt, so I ask for appt, & she said they're busy & wouldn't make a appt* after the total trump like behavior and hate coming from this woman was beyond ugly and uncalled for* So I cussed her out for her bad attitude and rudeness then left* I will be going to School St Union Station, cus they are polite nice & price is right* Unless the wmn that takes her hate out on people she dont like* read more

We have always taken our cars to get serviced here. They have some quirks, like they don't always pick up the phone, and sometimes you might get a grumpy person on the line. However, they get the job done and they do it right. And for a reasonable price too. They've been good at diagnosing issues too. Only thing is that you have to leave the car there the whole day- they ask you to bring it first thing in the morning, and they work on it when they can. I usually get a call by early afternoon on the status. read more

Great service and work was done fast. People were super friendly and pleasant. They also give you a time schedule and that helped me.

Excellent customer service and decent price for gas. I will definitely come back to fill up my vehicle. Oh, the current special is a free reusable shopping bag when you fill up 8 gallons or more.; it comes folded up in a pouch. read more

I've been going there for nearly 10yrs, enjoy most of the worker, But I had kinda bad experience with the oriental machanic, he has a very bad attitude, I also took my car for safety check for the first time and he was the only person took the car out for a drive, why??!! All the other places I went never drove my car, what was the reason? My car is not new and not to old. Maybe I'll do business somewhere else now.. you probably lost me as a customer read more

I haven't written a review for this location as I don't want to give away my secrets LOL! This is my #1 car repair location The BEST service, Kathy and her team are always full of ALOHA! Also reasonably priced services Make your appointment in advance! read more

Manoa Service Texaco - Manoa Gas Station - Gas Stations Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

No longer a full service gas station. During the day it can be crowded but not packed like the other gas stations closer to town. It's well lighted at night with an attendant sitting in the booth. For the most part people wear masks when they pump their gas here. read more

This gas station is the only place I use ever since I moved to Honolulu (over 30 years ago) I don't know anything about a vehicle since my late husband took care of our car. I bring my car there to pump gas and to ask them to check the tire pressures! This family owned gas station in Manoa is very reliable and if I have questions about my car, they can help me! Thank you! read more

When I returned home after two months on the mainland, I realized that the rear cover to my light was gone. I looked around the car and there were no signs of a fender bender. The light cover was nowhere to be found. I called in and spoke with Kathy who shared that the part would cost $80 and the labor $10. I researched Amazon and found a replacement kit for $40, and asked Kathy if I purchased the part on Amazon, could I pay for them to install it? She said absolutely. When I went to order the part on Amazon, I discovered the vendor wanted $40 for shipping (would arrive in 8-10 days) and the other vendor wanted $100 for shipping. I called back Kathy and she shared that she could have the part in an hour. Sure enough, I took my car in (same day) the part was installed in ten minutes AND I got a safety check. Mahalo for your prompt service and ALOHA Manoa Texaco. read more

Very responsive,quality work.... and excellent work, also strong values , with excellent background.

Have been going here over 20 years grateful to have this family owned business in the valley. They get busy for safety inspections gotta call and/or get there extra early. read more

Terrible attitudes. Not customer friendly. Air machine always out of service. The guy wants to drive your car by himself when doing a safety inspection. Yikes! read more

I'm got a safety check yesterday. Professional staff, certified mechanics. My favorite place to go for a safety check. Call to schedule, they're backed up. read more

Use them regularly for repairs & maintenance of our vehicles. Fair prices & only do work that is really required. They don,t try to get you to do extra repairs. read more

We were told a year ago to make a reservation but a few days ago we were told come in before 2 30. But that was fine. Plenty of places to go or just wait at McDonalds. All was good. read more

Been getting my inspection there for years. They are efficient and honest. While other stations are notorious for using inspections to sell repair work that is truly not required, Manoa service does not take advantage of customers. read more

Amazing, this locally owned gas station still has the local kine feeling, as you see the daughter of the late owner, crawling under the cars to plug a hole in a car, while still smiling at me as I head towards Starbucks awaiting my safety check to be completed. Mind you it took only 15 minutes before receiving a call that my car was ready. Long story short, Manoa Service Texaco give them a shot, you'd be glad you did... read more

Usually put gas at this station and needed my tires filled. Asked one of the mechanics if they could help me cause I don't speak car (yes, THAT illiterate). They were super busy so thought I'd need to go back another time, nope, not even 5 minutes later Shane came to help me out. And being as I wanted to (finally) learn to do it myself, even as busy as they were, he took the time to show and explain how to do it correctly, gave me a couple tips, and even let me try to make sure I got it. Then, wouldn't even accept a tip for all his help. This is above and beyond, local-style service where they help and care about their customers. Will gladly keep supporting them. Thank you again, Shane!! read more

Manoa neighbors forever favorite gas station. We don't want to recommend here because they are too good and we don't want to share their gooooood service. But at the same time we love here so want them to be busy. Safety check need to call in much earlier. They are reliable. Please keep business forever for Manoa neighbors. (Especially g-mom,g-pa come here very comfortably. ) read more

Always fast and friendly service. I always come here for my safety check just cause they are so efficient. Have recommended it to several of my friends. read more

They've been there forever. Great service and convenient location! I can see they all work hard and many regular customers. Even saw someone drop off donuts for the workers. How nice! read more

Visited this service station once before a few years ago and got my safety inspection. Came here again today at a little after 7:30 am - my safety inspection was done pretty quickly. I was 2nd in line and back in my car at 8:05. Costs $26 for safety inspection only. People there were very attentive as soon as I arrived. Park off to the side and go into the little room next to the gas stations to sign in and let them know what you need. Bring registration and insurance. Service hours are 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday-Friday, Saturday it's 7:30 to 1pm. When I called before I went, the woman who answered the phone said the first week and last week of the month are the busiest times as well as weekends. Worked out for me as it was the second week and I went on a Tuesday. Plenty of things to do in the area while you wait - McDonald's right next door, Starbucks and coffee bean not too far, you can even do grocery shopping at Safeway or eat at Manoa marketplace. read more

I don't want gave one star too. It's bad bad attitude employees. I went twice time safety check. They refuse me. First time too late. Second time no parking places. I don't understand what kind of business. And attitude is so bad. read more

Located in Manoa. My friend came to get gas here because gas tank was running low. He paid money at attendant booth

We came here thinking we could do a safety check, and after rushing over at 3pm, we asked the mechanic about safety inspections. He was rude as hell! Gave attitude and said that they were done for the day. I almost cussed him out but refrained from doing so because there were children around. Anyway, after asking about the times that they do a safety check, he gave a very asshole answer and said that they finished today at 2pm. Don't go here for a safety check and from this experience I wouldn't come here even for gas. Asshole workers make for shitty customer service!!!! This is the last time I will ever come to this location. We've been here in the past, but if I am just a customer asking for times for a safety check, don't be a jerk about and just let me know when's a better time to come! I hope enough people read this post and keep from using this establishment so that this paces closes for good!!! read more

Walked into the office with my paperwork and they got to work right away. Walked across the street to get a bite. While I was waiting for my meal they called and said all pau! Faster than getting lunch! Paid the $26 dollars and Safety Check was all good! All the staff was pretty pleasant! Thanks! read more

Love it when you pop into a place that has super friendly staff that are willing and able to help out their customers! I stopped by to ask for help, as my tire pressure light thingy went on. The super sweet gal in the booth (where you pay) said, "No worry, we can check that for you." She quickly asked someone to check all my tires and they added some air in a couple of them too. Meanwhile another worker happened to walk by eating what looked like the best pastry on the planet - she was really enjoying it. She smiled at me and I jokingly said, "Oh, that looks good - can I have a bite?" She cracked up laughing and said a customer brought them buy and then she offered me one!! I was completely joking with her and graciously declined (although whatever they were - they looked damn good!). Anyway, in the meantime my tires were all perky again and the attendant told me that she hadn't seen any nails or other problems, but noted that it was probably time for some new tires. I tried to tip her, she said "Nah, no need. Drive safely. See you next time." Aww man...I found my new spot for gas when I'm in there area. LOVE supporting local businesses with good heart and soul. read more

I came here at 7:00 am to be first in line for a safety inspection since I had let mine lapse. Having come here in the afternoon a couple days prior, I knew that they get busy. So, I gave my insurance, registration, and car keys to the receptionist and was informed I was first in line for the inspection that would begin at 7:30 am. Great, I thought, I will be out of here and on my way to work in no time! At 7:45, and for reasons no one cared to explain, I was still waiting for the inspection to begin. So I asked the cashier/receptionist when my car would be inspected. She pointed to the person who would be doing the inspection and said it should begin soon. That person, a lady whose name I cannot remember, looked at me like I was ridiculous. Her expression was not what you would expect if you had to wait an extra 15 for no good reason. She looked irritated and perplexed by my question. She had been fussing around the shop before this with no clear task at hand. As I had nothing better to do than sit there, drink my coffee, and watch what was happening around me, I saw what she had been up to but never thought she was the person that was going to do my inspection. In her defense, I did witness her get showered in praise for fixing another lady's tire. Cool, I thought, You go girl! I really didn't appreciate the attitude but needed to get this done. After the oddly rude look I got from the inspectress, she got into my car and drove away! I didn't know they did that! About five minutes later she pulled up in front of me in MY CAR -- I was sitting in a chair in front of the gas pumps -- and sat there for a few minutes. She wouldn't look at me although she was just sitting there. I waited with patience to see what her next move would be. A lady from the cash booth came out and checked that the turn signals and brake lights worked, gave the ok, and she returned back into her booth. The inspectress then exited my car, put the new sticker on the bumper, and walked into the reception area. I did not see her again. Bottom line: never again. They made me wait longer than necessary, were rude and unhelpful, and made me late for work. I know they are the go-to place in Manoa for safety inspections but I will not be coming back again. read more

I've been coming to this service station for years but will not be coming back. On one of my stops for gas, I also needed air. I proceeded to the air filling station and the air hoses have been removed. Seeing that there was one at the end of a row of pumps I headed over there and proceeded to fill my tank. After I went to put air in my tires and one of the service personnel removed the air chuck. Why? The "we don't care" attitude of the staff is appalling. Find another service station, this one is only interested in how deep your wallet is and not how they can be of assistance. read more

Called prior to see if they were busy and that day was a good time to get my safety check done. A lady was ahead of me being helped but nobody came to see if I needed any help or even a "hello" with the office filled with 3 other employees eating their lunch. Finally a lady in the cashier stand by the pumps came to help me and within 20 minutes they got my safety check done and I was on my way. read more

Another easy safety check. Because of COVID, they are taking appointments. I wish I had known sooner so I could have saved myself a trip and called ahead. I was able to get an appointment 5 days later. I dropped it off at 4pm and it was done by 4:20. I much prefer that system to waiting around if I show up when there is a line. read more
