I can't recommend Vic enough! For my fellow ladies, you know how hard it is to find a mechanic that you can trust and who won't take advantage of you or try to upsell. He provided me a fair estimate, was honest about which things I would need to fix in my car, and which ones are minor that I won't have to worry about and taught me how to deal with on my own. Really appreciated the detailed videos as well. Thank you again Vic! read more

The best experience! Friendly and efficient. They knew exactly what to do and got the job done quickly. I will return to this company if and when my vehicle needs service and will refer them to family and friends. Quality service, friendly staff! Awesome company!!!!! Mobotech Auto is the best!!!! read more

These guys are top notch mechanics. They were VERY honest when repairing my sisters CRV, from the start, no running the customer around, they do what they say they are going to do! Vic and Angel had GREAT communication w/us. We walked away, (more repairs to done, but going to take it back when $$ becomes available) HAPPY to pay the amount it cost they charged. I would highly recommend thiese guys, and thsir shop. You want quality work, guarenteed, go there, get your estimant, and get your vehicle repaired right, the 1st time! In fact, my 2019 Chevy Colorado is going in for some repairs tomorrow. There's no one else I trust but the guys @ Mobotech with my truck!!!!! read more

Best repair shop in Honolulu, Open late in the evening until 9 pm Several skilled mechanics work for Victor, the owner who can do just about any repair except for custom exhaust systems. Always reasonable rates and scheduled repair times kept! Mobotech is outstanding , American and Foreign vehicles maintained well. read more

Second time going to Mobotech and I really appreciate how knowledgeable the workers are and sending a video of what needs to be repaired so I know they actually do what they say they will do. I had a major work that needed to be done and they were able to take me the same day and finish by end of day. Price is reasonable as well. I just really appreciate the reliability of this establishment. read more

I stumbled across this shop while looking for someplace to bring my kids 97 Honda back to life LOL! But, I'm a true believer of good energy, karma, whatever you want to call it, that drew me to this shop. What started out, as a head gasket project, led to a bit more work and then more... BUT! Transparency by the Owner made knowing what they were doing with my kids car, gave me the confidence when they finish, my kids car would be in better shape! I'm glad we brought his Honda to MoboTech they did a great job, and costs wasn't through the roof! If I was asked if I'd recommend their shop and workmanship I'd definitely give them the referral and two thumbs up! read more

They have great communication and really helpful in explaining the services needed for my vehicle. Very dependable! Thank you so much!

8/30/24. My coworker highly recommended Mobotech when my Dodge Durango overheated on my way to work. So I checked out Mobotech Auto on Yelp, and it had a rating of 4.9!!! So I called, and Vic answered, and initially he didn't have any room, I was a little disappointed. I needed my SUV repaired because it was my only means of transportation. Then he said to call back at 6 pm, and hopefully, some cars will be picked up, and there should be some room. I called back and he had room for me! So I called roadside assistance. Long story short, the tow truck didn't show, so I called Vic, and he said no problem, tow it in tomorrow after 10 am. So I got it towed into the shop. Vic greeted me, and I explained what happened, and he basically told me he got it and will text me with updates. Not even 30 minutes later, I got a text with what needed to be done (with a video!) and a printed estimate. Then they discovered something else needed repairing and sent me pictures and videos and an updated estimate. I gave the approval, and it was done by the same day I dropped it off! I didn't pick it up till the next day because I couldn't get a ride to the shop. So after work, I picked up my Durango. Talked story with Vic for a bit and was on my way, a Happy and Satisfied customer. Vic just made things work out. I appreciated the frequent updates with pictures and videos and a screenshot of the estimate. Friendly and professional. He paid attention to details. He even had my SUV running with the air conditioner on, so it would be nice and cool when I got in. Drove home and the ride felt like it was a brand new car. He just earned a loyal customer and my referrals. MAHALO VIC AND CREW!!! read more

Mobotech Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I honestly cannot say enough good things about these guys! They are so good, it pains me to share a review for them due to their already limited availability lol but they deserve the recognition because I KNOW you know how hard it is to find a trustworthy and honest mechanic! You ever get that feeling when you go to a mechanic that they were not telling you everything, trying to up sell you and/or trying to get you to pay for repairs you don't need? Well you'll NEVER feel like that here! Have you ever had a mechanic that took the time to make a YouTube video to literally show you their findings and explain in layman's terms what's up? Well, that's what they did for me and this blew my mind. Talk about next level customer service! read more

Oil change and transmission fluid and filter change today. As usual took my truck to Vic and the crew. They did my regular oil change and a much needed transmission service. Also ran diagnostics on everything. Let me know about upcoming things that I might want to look into doing. Sent quote before any services was done and even asked if i had any preference to brands used. Even sent videos of service being performed. Truck feels great as always when leaving Mobotech. Thanks again Vic and crew for treating me like family and always giving top notch service. read more

You need an honest and trustworthy mechanic? Then look no further. Only con is that he's so busy that he doesn't get back to you right away but he's worth the wait and every penny. He sends videos explaining everything and showing what he's working on. I don't understand most of what he's talking about but every time he works on my truck, this thing comes back cherreh..lol. He's the best on island. Victor and his team are amazing. read more

Mobotech was amazing! I took my car in for a lot of work done including fluid flush, brakes, wheel bearings, and suspension and everything was done exceptionally. They took the time to periodically text me to update me as well as send videos to explain all the work done on the car. They were very fair with the quote for services done and it was done in an extremely timely manner. I highly recommend them for all servicing needs! read more

When I'm lazy or don't know how to do it I take my car to Mobotech. They're pretty good at finding the issues and won't oversell you on things you don't need. Prices are way better than a lot of places I've gotten quotes from. They sometimes get busy, but they'll always take care of you. read more

Best repair shop in town. Great communication, price, and professionalism. Sent pictures and provided updates throughout the repair. Really happy and friendly staff. Got my truck in and out the same day. Will return again for sure! read more

My friend recommended this place to me when I had a problem with my key fob. Note Mobotech does not fix fobs but he quickly referred me to someone who does fix key fobs. I appreciate his responsiveness and the fact that he was willing to refer me to someone else. I hope I don't need his services but I'm glad that I found him. My friend recommended him to me after he helped fix his car issues for a very reasonable price. read more

Top shelf service. Trust worthy service with very reasonable prices and the knowledge of all types of automobiles.

If you're looking for an honest, trustworthy and reliable auto repair shop, look no further than MOBOTECH ALL AUTO SERVICE! I was fortunate to be referred to Vic, the owner, from a very good friend. He has been their family mechanic for years & I take her recommendations very seriously. I'm glad I did. I refer everyone and anyone with auto repair needs to this place. They are TOO GOOD TO GATEKEEP!!! My entire family brings their cars here for all auto repair needs! You can be sure Vic will be honest with you on what he can, and cannot do as older models or more specific issues may need to go back to the actual dealer! That's what I love about him... He's not gonna charge you for something that he knows he can't do, or shouldn't be touching! Top notch customer service... he even sends pictures and videos of the problem, as well as the solution! I never worry that he's gonna tell me like it is. As if I didn't give you enough reasons to bring your car here, one of my favorite reasons is because they open later in the morning (9:00 AM) and they close between 8:00 - 9:00 PM. read more

Mobotech did an amazing job on a front brake pad/rotor change for my 2016 Scion iM. Long story short, the dealership service center insisted that my current brake pads were good but I noticed squeaking and shaking while coming down the Pali a few weeks back and decided that I needed to ask someone else. Turns out Mobotech was just down the road from my office so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. Victar at Mobotech is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. Upon arriving and trying to explain my issues, Victar took a moment of his own time to take a drive with me and try to diagnose the issue. He then inspected the brakes and recommended only replacing the front brake pads and rotors as these 2 wheel drive cars typically see most of the wear in the front (the dealership was already insisting I change all 4 pads and rotors which would have been very expensive). Victar then explained to me the part options and per his recommendation I went with slightly costlier but more reliable and tested parts. Even though their schedule looked pretty booked, he managed to squeeze in the job at the beginning of the next week. I dropped my vehicle off at 9am and it was finished and test driven by lunch time. No more squeaks, no more shaking, and incredibly grippy brakes. One of the things I appreciate the most is how Victar sends updates and progress pictures for the work that they do, ensuring that the money you put down towards parts and labor are going towards good work. TL/DR: Victar and the Mobotech team are reasonable, do quality work, and I highly recommend them for your next repair or servicing. I'll definitely be back for all of my car mechanic needs. read more

Brooo..best kept secret in town! A good sized shop I'm the middle of Kalihi. Yea, I know, kinda tight residential streets getting there but trust me..worth checking out. Vic was accommodating, super fair, and very professional. I had a thumping noise coming from the rear of my car. I recently had my rims resurfaced for cosmetic repairs and my car was perfectly fine prior to that. Long story short, I dropped my car off with Vic and he videoed the inspection and texted to me what he found. Turned out one of the rims was loose!! Sooo dangerous! He tightened all 4 times and said it was good to go. So how much was this simple fix? He says he wouldn't even know what to charge. Just enough for lunch, he laughed. But I gladly dropped $100 and picked up my car. Honesty goes a looooong way and I'll def call on him again for car repairs. Mahalo again, Vic!! read more

I am a female that knows very little about cars and car maintenance, but I know that it is important to take care of your car if you want it to last. I have called Vic (the owner) twice to help me with my CRV, and each time he has been knowledgeable and kind. I very much appreciate that he sends a short video of what issues are going on, I feel like it totally solidifies and justifies the work that needs to be done, oil leak...broken part...yes, thank you for showing me and not just randomly adding things to the to-do list. The shop is nestled in a residential area, fairly easy to find, but kudos to him for being open late, thats a huge plus in my book. As for price, what can I say, I HATE spending money on maintenance/repairs, but his labor rates seem extremely fair (I am so certain I would be paying alot more at a dealership). And thank you Vic for making sure my car comes back to me washed, that is true customer service. read more

Our family was recommended by our friend to check out Mobotech. We took our 2017 Mini Cooper to get diagnosed, and being that this was our first time, we were a little anxious. However, Victor did an amazing job! He gave us a call and provided videos on issues regarding the car. He promised to finish the car at a certain date, but he ended up finishing earlier than expected. We received a sweet surprise from Victor when we picked up the car. Our Mini Cooper was washed! Overall, an amazing experience, highly professional, and they have a cute cat at the shop who is worth a visit. read more

Vic and his team worked on my 2106 BMW 340i and did an excellent job! Vic explains everything clearly and is up front about what needs to be done. I'm very impressed with their service! I don't trust anyone but Vic with my car. read more

Best mechanic in Kalihi! Been bringing my 06 wrx for all of its fixtures and he gets the job done in a timely manner and excellent communication! read more

My car broke down this morning on the freeway on my way to work around 8am was able to get my car into the shop by 11am. (It took a couple hours of getting my car towed by FSP to a random park from the freeway and then to get it towed to the shop) But once it was there, Victor told me what the problem was and he fixed it within an hour and I was ready to get back on the road. I'm super thankful that he was able to fit me into his tight schedule and was able to get it fixed super quickly and with a reasonable price. read more

Victor and his crew at Mobotech is AWESOME!!!! Victor was a GOD sent. I was having issue with my car after work and it was getting late. I said a prayer and called a few places, with no answer, then I called the last person on my list and Victor answered. Victor said he was booked for the next 2 weeks, however base on my situation he made an exception and told me to bring my car in. It was after 6pm. I stop at his shop and he checked out my car. He was diligent and honest. He even allowed me to use a spare part, so I could get home safely, who does that these days??? I went to his shop the next day and he fixed my car in one hour. I was so impressed and grateful. The price was fair and the service was impeccable. Going forward, Victor is now my go to favorite mechanic. Big MAHALO!!! Terri R read more

I found Vic's info on a Reddit group for pre-purchase inspections in Hawaii. I was able to schedule a next-day inspection for a car we were considering purchasing. Vic sent photos and videos with clear descriptions of his findings and an inspection report on the same day. This really helped inform our decision-making process, and the price was totally reasonable. Thank you! read more

Wasted my time. Called, no answer, but got a text asking to describe the service needed. I did that and got no reply.

Mobotech was incredibly easy, reasonably priced and overall went above and beyond for my window repair. The owner was genuinely so sweet and helpful I highly recommend for any of your auto needs read more

Victor is responsive , professional and straight up with you about issues surrounding your vehicle. Price is right if you ask. Had 2 vehicles service here for the life of the car. Work hours are great too for a auto mechanic because unusual for later night that customers might need read more

I was on Oahu to help my daughter move into her apartment on the north shore. I discovered her car's brakes were shot and I had one day to get them fixed or she would have had a real issue getting them repaired before school started. After failing to find a single shop willing to help, I showed up at Mobotech because of the great Yelp reviews and Vic was so kind and understanding. He was able to get us in that afternoon. His team did super quality work, replacing front and rear pads and rotors. In addition, he noticed our missing passenger mirror and replaced it. Because it didn't take much effort to attach the new mirror. He didn't charge any labor for that repair. That kind of service and honesty is so rare nowadays. I'm so grateful I met Vic--and I encourage everyone to support people and shops with this kind of integrity. read more

Decided to install a ready lift front & rear leveling kit for our Nissan Frontier. Yelp reviews rated this mechanic-owner Vic as a 5 star business. Hard to believe but what I am telling everyone is that Vic is no bullshxt. The communication via text is professional and he genuinely gave my wife & I the sense of care. Anyhow we brought the lift kit to Vic and his team installed it as agreed. We called other local shops beforehand and they all threw numbers out at us like we were dumb. Vic's labor rate and time duration matched what we were quoted. With this honest service, Mobotech just got four new vehicles that we will be bringing our business back I'm the near future. Mahalo Vic for supporting local people read more

Very professional and I highly recommend them for your maintenance services and repairs. Depending what you need done they charge by the job or will charge hourly like they did for me since I provided the parts for my vehicle. Victor was very transparent keeping me up to date on every step of the maintenance/repair for my vehicle. I have already planned and definitely will be back for my future car needs for installations and maintenance. read more

Vic did a great job on my BMW! I was getting transmission malfunction and power steering error notifications but he did a preliminary inspection and knew those codes were actually a problem with the battery. He replaced my battery cable and battery and did all the computer work. One month later, no problems at all. Vic has great communication and is super friendly. He followed up with me to see if everything's going well. He is trustworthy and my money was spent in the right place. Will be going back to him for all my car needs! read more

Outstanding work done in a timely fashion with solid communication and customer service. Wont go anywhere else!

Years ago, a friend of mine offered to change my car's headlight bulbs for me rather than bringing it into a garage or dealership. During that time, I watched my friend complete the task and mention it is a tedious job taking a couple of hours. Rather than saving the money, I figure let me just have a professional do it for me this time around. Earlier this summer, one of my lights died after all these years and I wanted to get it done before returning to work this past October. It wasn't an urgent matter as the other side was still working, and my fog lamps also worked for night time driving. With the help of Yelp, I searched for a mechanic who could replace a pair lightbulbs. There were several garages in the Honolulu area with perfect 5 star ratings. I inquired with one business, got a quote. But after I asked for when I could come in for an appointment, I stopped receiving messages. I inquired with Mobotech, got a prices quote, but couldn't get a guaranteed time and date. The text messages stopped again. As a last resort, I tried asking another friend who is dating a mechanic. Same consultation, got a price quote, yet I still couldn't get a time and date. I guess maybe Mechanics must be a high demand job as many people seek a professional to fix, repair, or just get second or third opinions on all types of car jobs at the last minute. For some reason, my instinct was to get back to Mobotech because it seemed to me that I got the most promising job compared to the others. I was able to make a solid appointment on a day off that I was set on, first day of the work week, first time slot of the morning. Dropped it off, and within 3 hours I get a text telling me that my car was finish. For parts and labor, I feel like I paid the going price. Should my light bulbs wear off, the owner will back it up with a warranty! The mechanic complimented on how top shape I've kept my car, pointing out how low my mileage is. I had stressed to him that I work, play and live in town, but would love to own and drive a brand new car some day soon. He told me to just keep it and invest in other things in life. read more

Victar is really the man, he really does care about you in every aspect of the car and service. This shop is where you want to take if you want the car to be taken care of like your baby or a child. I had decided to get my brake and oil changed, also I called around many shops researching. But through a friend that also works on cars, I was referred here that this is the place to bring for any repairs of automobiles. Victar diagnosed the problem immediately and sent me video with text message notifying what needed to be done and how to be done. The price was more than reasonable in hawaii, also mainland. I would say this hidden gem is a blessing to Oahu. Definitely this is my type of aloha place for my cars. Thank you Victar, you really made my day and my car is feeling much happier after the visit :) read more

Auto mechanics are all over the island. Most are good guys, but the ones you can trust and depend upon to get the job done right - the first time are rare. Vic and his crew in Kalihi are awesome, they are at the shop until 9:30 pm. Vic was great at communicating about the work being done on my car, sends video while the work is being done and of the finished work. Vic makes observations, and recommendations of areas that may be problematic in the future. Mobotech rebuilt my frontend steering. Changed gasket to fix an oil leak. And change out my power steering to fix a leak. read more

This place is AMAZING. Honestly I don't know how they make money. What would have cost me $3000 at Land Rover, these awesome guys did for $425. VERY on it with communication. Owner texts, which I like. They did have the car for 10 days but honestly I don't care. They did a great job and saved me tons of $$$ Much Mahalos Mobo ---------- Updated 1/28/22 Had an issue with my Infiniti QX50 Mobitech couldn't fix the problem as it was computer related but despite spending time on it no charge!!!
