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!

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!!!

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.

Would I be able to get a estimate cost for front wheel bearing change for a 2014 Nissan Altima?

I had no trouble getting cost information after Mobotech assesses what the fix would be for my car’s problem and in fact gave me all inputs needed so I could decide between a low cost option and one much more costly.

I called multiple times but for some reason it couldn't connect? I was just wondering if they take walk-ins and if so how much are the oil changes?

I had such a great experience with this AC shop. The first shop I went to turned me away twice, so…read moreI was really grateful when I called here and was told I could come right over. Thankfully, they weren't too far away. When I arrived, the gentleman immediately welcomed me, pulled my van into the shop, and started diagnosing the issue. The customer service I received was exceptional, and I truly appreciate how helpful and accommodating they were. I'm looking forward to having them service my vehicle and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for honest and great customer service. I also want to add that while my van was being diagnosed, the gentleman noticed my coolant was low and took the time to add more coolant for me. I truly appreciate that extra step. It showed me that they genuinely care about their customers and are willing to help beyond just the service they're providing. Small acts like that really stand out and mean a lot. Thank you for your kindness and for going above and beyond. I wanted to come back and update my review now that everything has been completed. I picked up my van, and the AC is working great! The repair was completed, and I'm very happy with the results. The final price was reasonable for the amount of labor involved, and I appreciate the work that was done. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and look forward to bringing my van here again for future repairs and maintenance. Thank you, Auto Papa, for getting my AC back up and running!

ALL 3 of the employees on the premises avoided me. No one even bothered to look at me. I tried to approach nicely saying excuse me, and all of them don't talk back. They just gesture their hands at me to go away. Like I am seriously shocked... Horrible service. To note, I did go to the office first because I read the sign. But no one was there and I waited with no one coming in to help me. So that is when I tried to ask the employees. I've never been here before so I wasn't sure if someone knew I was waiting since I had no appointment, per the phone call. Well, now I know to never come here.

That's all

First of all, I would like to say the ONLY reason I decided to go with Pearl City Auto Works was…read morebecause they had 5 star reviews. After my experience with them, they deserve a 1 star. If I could I would give them a 0. 2 and a half years ago, I took my car to Pearl City Auto Works for a brake job. It cost me almost $5k to do it. Now they told me I gotta spend another $2400 to fix the same problem. My other half and I talked business with the owner's daughter Shay Nakamura about the situation and asked certain questions and she couldn't give any feedback to the situation at hand. She tried to give me a discount, but I don't think it was enough, considering I know for a fact they are charging me 3-4x the actual cost for the parts and then will eventually get more money back because of the cores. I text the number they text me with explaining my situation and there were no response. 2 phone numbers they text me from I left a text message, no response. That right there shows me that that they have poor communication skills. Communication was done with text. To be honest, I prefer real conversation with a person/company. I believe that they either did a poor job 2 and a half years ago or the quality of parts they used suck!! I got ripped off the first time and they tried to do that again the second time around. NEVER again will I do business with them!!
