I've been to Neue Auto a few times now and honestly wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Alvin and Codi are both so amazing, just very helpful and professional. 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. read more

I'd like to start off by mentioning the great things I experienced. The team working on my truck was extremely knowledgeable and patient throughout the process. My partner received pictures and updates along the way, and I truly appreciated the communication, especially since they had my truck overnight. One challenge was how narrow the entrance is when pulling in, but thankfully that wasn't too much of an issue during drop-off. My experience ended up being 4 stars because I paid $704 for diagnostics and a transmission fluid service, only to be told that the transmission issues would likely continue over time. The recommendation given was that replacing the vehicle might be a better option if we didn't want to continue investing money into the truck. Afterward, I reached back out to ask for a quote on either rebuilding or replacing the transmission so I could better understand my options. Unfortunately, I've waited quite a while without receiving a response. At this point, even after spending the money on the diagnostics and service, the truck is still undrivable and sitting in a parking lot while I continue paying for a rental car. I completely understand that transmission work can be complicated, and I am grateful they were able to inspect my truck since I don't know much about transmissions myself. When I first brought the truck in, I also mentioned an issue with my taillight. I was initially told it would be added to the diagnostics at the end, but it was never looked at. I was later informed that I would need to pay an additional $185 just to diagnose the taillight issue. At that point, I decided to simply pick up the truck. The communication was excellent from start to finish while the vehicle was actively being worked on, but as a returning customer, I do feel disappointed that I haven't received any follow-up regarding the transmission quote. I'm hoping someone from the team can reach back out soon so I can better understand what my next steps and costs may be. read more

I went on Yelp and submitted a new project for my vehicle's repair. Neue was one of a few shops that replied and had availability. They were upfront about their diagnostic fee of $185 plus tax. I needed a new alternator, belt, and battery for my 2006 RAV4. I asked for a rough estimate so I could compare it to a few other shops, and they told me $400-$600 for parts and labor. After reading other positive reviews, I decided to have my car towed from Kaneohe to this shop. The drop-off went smoothly, and I received a call shortly after with two quotes. The first quote was $2,075 to replace the alternator, belt, and battery, and the second was $3,200 to also fix an oil leak in the engine. This is an older vehicle, and the quote was 4-5 times higher than what was originally estimated. I decided to pay the $185 diagnostic fee and take my car to a different shop. After calling around to a few smaller shops, they told me this specific car requires more labor because the radiator has to be removed. However, they said it should cost between $1,000-$1,300 at most. I ended up going to a local shop, and they completed the repairs for $1,150. They also checked for an oil leak and found nothing. This shop not only bait-and-switched me on pricing but also tried to get me to pay an extra $1,200 for a repair I didn't need. I would give 0 stars if I could and will be telling family and friends to avoid this shop, as they are not honest. UPDATE: 04/16/26 I uploaded a picture of the Yelp message coming directly from your company, so you can't call me a liar. 'If you can't produce this, what you're saying isn't just false, it's libel.' That is a direct quote from you. I also wasn't looking for the cheapest repair, I was looking for a fair quote. After visiting your shop I called three different shops and you quoted roughly twice the amount that they did. So I went with a shop that priced right in the middle and had good reviews. It's also interesting that you didn't mention your $1,200 quote for an oil leak that didn't exist. Your pricing is your pricing I just wish you were upfront about it or provided me with a more realistic quote. The shop I went to used all brand-new parts but sold them at cost rather than upcharging their customers. That business has been around for over 30 years, so it's surprising that you would resort to insulting their credibility rather than owning up to your mistake and making things right. Thank you for further proving my point about why people should avoid your shop. Maybe this isn't the experience for everyone, but as a first impression, it guaranteed that I won't be returning. Best of luck with your business. read more

Always fast. Very flexible. Great service. Came in with just a text and was easy to get a spot for inspection. Have been going here for years. read more

I looked forever to find a place that could do my oil and brakes! I wanted to make sure I was taking my car somewhere good. I have been scammed before and charged for work not actually done to my car. I found Neue Auto and they were so flexible with my schedule which was amazing, as I never know when I might have a patient to go to. They were open and honest about parts and cost, They did the service I requested and that they promised to do! They allowed my car to stay over night as I could not get back from The hospital in time to pick it up. They have done good work and I am so grateful! read more

Updating my review after more than five years because Neue Auto continues to be amazing. Honest, reliable, and consistent every single time. It's rare to find a local shop you can truly trust long-term, and this is one of them. Clear communication, fair pricing, and genuinely good people who care about their work and their customers. Proud to support a local business like this and will always recommend Neue Auto. read more

The staff here is really amazing! Customers service on point!! I had my car diagnosed here, they are very thorough, knowledgeable and most importantly they are honest. They don't try to rip people off which is hard to find in automotive mechanics. I would highly recommend! read more

Honesty on what he could fix without charging a diagnosis fee but the shop all the way in back of driveway and lots of neighbors very little parking read more

I took my car in for service at another shop 3 weeks ago. Let's call it a "chain" company. My mistake! My car wouldn't start and I desperately searched for a shop that seemed more trustworthy. I was so thankful they did my intake over the phone because I wanted to stay at the hospital with my son (who is in the NICU). My car was towed straight to them with no issues at all. These guys at Neue did not disappoint, they exceeded my expectations! They were professional, timely, thorough, transparent, and were not pushy. Thanks so much to Kaleo for answering all my questions straight up. Alvin up front was also super pleasant. Both were super helpful over the phone prior to even meeting them in person. I usually feel pained at the cost of car services, but this is the first time I happily gave my money because they did not gauge and honestly deserved more. Never taking my car to that last "chain" place ever again thanks to these guys. read more

Took our company vehicle in for a diagnostic on a starting issue. They were very informative, quick on finding the problem and bringing in the parts. Highly recommend them for fast turnaround time and fair pricing! It's hard to find trusted mechanics now! read more

After researching numerous automotive repair shops, I decided to bring my car in to Neue Auto for service. In short, I had a great experience here! Kaleo was very professional and made the checking in process easy. The shop was pretty busy but they got the job done quickly and I was on my way! I feel lucky to have found a repair shop that is efficient, reliable, and most importantly trustworthy. They got my car back on the road and running smooth again! I will definitely return for future services! read more

Neue Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I cannot say good enough things about the great guys at Neue Auto. Nick took the time to listen to all my concerns about my cooling fan. Nick booked me an Uber back to my office in downtown. When my car was ready he didn't rush me out he took his time explaining everything about what they had found and what it means for my car. They treated me with kindness and respect and I am grateful. read more

I was in a bind and needed some help around 3:00am. Ended up getting some help from a friend but they were quick to respond and offered alternative options if I was still in need. Professional and kind, would recommend others to give them a shot! read more

Brought my car to Neue Auto Shop for an A/C issue and some hybrid-related work. Super solid experience from start to finish. They know hybrids, which is huge, and they didn't waste time guessing or upselling. They explained what was going on in a way that actually made sense, the work was done right, and the A/C is blowing cold again. Honest, professional, and efficient -- exactly what you want in an auto shop. Definitely my go-to spot moving forward. Highly recommend. read more

Neue Auto has wonderful customer service and took good care of my Civic. I appreciate that they answered all of my questions regarding my car or any concerns I had. Mahalo read more

Requested pre-purchase inspection and someone responded they were able to do it. Somebody gave a date for the inpection to be done, but the day came and all communication stopped. They never explained anything. Despite some reviews, I give them F. read more

I tried to find someone who could install sun visors on my wife Honda Fit. It sounds simple but it is not. Whoever enginered these monstrosities should be hung by their thumbs. Nick and company got the job done and done right. Saved me a bucket load of cash versus the dealer. read more

Thank you for taking the time to respond however, I was very clear in my message that I started a new Yelp request for quotes bc shops were not clear that I wanted BOTH services performed. If you could not do both services, why did you not only quote me for both services but ALSO book me AND CONFIRM the appt for both? Dropped the rating for gaslighting. You knew I expected both services as I said I did not want to be leaving the car and ubering more than absolutely necessary as I was driving from Kapolei. Letting me know you can't do the oil change after I show up is 100% dishonest. If you had told me you couldn't do it bc of the islandwide issue with oil disposal, I would have come back for future services when needed. Now I will be sure to never use your business specifically and you got a great review to go with it. read more

The quality of SERVICE was awesome... Kaleo (?) was amazing.. the only thing that got me was 1. The WAIT ~ I had an appointment for 8:30am.. they didnt take my car till almost close because supposedly appointments that MISSED the day prior took precedence (not cool). 2. The QUOTE ~ The Friday I took my car (which I had to wait the WHOLE day for a diagnosis, see complaint #1), I was told possibly around $600.. when they FINALLY called me back Saturday afternoon, they told me it was going to be $2600!! How does it jump over 4X's the amount?!? When we got a hold of another mechanic, he got me ALL the parts (less than $1K) and charged me ONLY $600 for the labor and my car was up and running within 5 - 6 hours. Crazy thing is, I had to TOW my vehicle from here to my house and STILL pay these guys almost $500!!! read more

These guys ALWAYS do a great job. I have a Tundra and a Mercedes and they have handled all upkeep and nearly all repairs. What I really respect about them is if they can't do a repair, they let me know. It has only happened 1 time...exhaust replacement. Their customer service is by far the best I have ever seen and they are reasonably priced. read more

Just to start, Neue Auto is #1 in my book! I took my vehicle in for a diagnostic in February 2026 and they did such a thorough job and the price was more than reasonable. Alvin explained every detail of the diagnostic to me, what was found, what was not found, the next step of a more in-depth diagnostic, the estimated amount for that, depending on the findings he explained what they can and cannot do in each case, and even gave great advice regarding my future plans for my vehicle. I would recommend Neue to anyone looking for professional, honest auto service. Keep up the great work guys! read more

I got a second Volvo it looked like it needed to be checked out due to an ABS check engine light. Took the car to Neue team, they found it was something minor just a sensor needed cleaning they checked out the rest of my car to make sure it was all good and even stayed little later so i could pick it up same day... didnt charge me at all since nothing needed fixing... I will always be coming back to their shop their service and kindness blew me away. Thanks again to everyone at Neue you guys are amazing. read more

Neue Auto is a gem. We take our car there for maintenance and any issues that might come up. Nick, Kaleo and the whole crew are so genuine and professional. They really put the aloha into their work. Sure, it's an auto shop so I don't go there just for the friendly folks. Fortunately, they're really good mechanics too. For me, they have always: 1. Done great work. 2. Been honest and transparent if they saw something of concern. Then they take the time to make sure I can understand the trouble so that I can make an informed consumer decision. And even though I don't know much about cars, they don't treat me like an idiot when they explain it. 3. Been completely fair on pricing and work performed. Yes, it's at the end of a really long crowded narrow driveway that will challenge your backing skills if someone is coming the other way... but I'd drive to a neighbor island for the quality of work and the great service they provide. Thanks, as always, for keeping our family's fleet in top shape. read more

I was searching for a place to take a look at my Nissan Frontier. Neue Auto was the fastest response for my vehicle issues. They were very friendly and were able to take in my vehicle and perform repairs the same day. Will be back for my other company vehicles. read more

Once again I needed my Audi checked due to the smell of gas in the interior of my car. I was able to bring my car in the next day. No where else I know of can fit you in that quickly. I appreciate the updates and the uber back to work. Diagnostics are legit, they sent me a picture of the problem and estimate is fair. Shout out to the young man working at the desk, always pleasant, smiling. Highly recommend Neue auto over going to Audi dealership. read more

We had such a great experience at Neue Auto Repair. Germs, Nick and his team were professional, honest, and took the time to explain everything clearly.

Highly recommend if you're looking for reliable auto repair in Honolulu! read more

If negative stars were available, that would be this company's score. This company took my money and did not fix my car, BEWARE!! They charged me $700, then told me I had to have the car towed back to my house while the DME module was sent for "repair", after two weeks of not getting ANY responses about the status of DME, I canceled the credit card charge. But then miraculously, they called and said the DME was ready but didn't have the techs available to come out to install it for a few days !!?? I re-instated the charge and volunteered to install it myself since it was just a plug-in module. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem. At this point, they wanted the car towed back to the shop again. WHO WORKS ON CARS LIKE THAT?!!! I talked with the place that Neue sent DME to and they said it tested good and shipped the unit back on February 8th. Neue told me they just got it back on the 23rd after I called them over 10 times during that period. So in short, they spent 15 minutes "diagnosing" the car, then I paid to have it towed to my house, in addition to the fact that I had to call them 10 times, cancel original charge to find out the part was magically available but no can come to install it...now going on 3 weeks and they wanted me to do the car tow fire drill again... In summary, they made approx. $500 for 15 minutes of time. I didn't write a review at the time because we had a death in the family and frankly, I was done with them and their shady operations. Go to ANY other shop and you will be happier. read more

If you're unsure of what your car problems are, have the team take a look and they will find it. AC was blowing "cool", but not cold air. After filling up my car with freon every other month and driving with the windows down, I knew that I needed a permanent fix. A friend recommended that I give these guys a chance. After talking on Yelp, I made an appointment and arrived the next day. I've assumed that the compressor was faulty, but after they diagnosed the entire AC system, it turns out that it was a bad leaking condenser. I was able to save some money now that the mechanics found the source of the actual problem. They had the part on hand, got to work, and I was able to pick my car up the next day. Now my car is blowing cold air and after "chilling" in my car (pun intended) for a moment, I've realized that I've taken it for granted. Their prices are affordable and it was money well spent. They take pride in their labor and they ensure that customers are well taken care of. Will be back for more business in regards to car maintenance. read more

Neue Auto - "Chilling" in my car now that it blows cold air - Auto Repair Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love the folks at Neue Auto! They service my car as if it were their own at a fair price, they take the time to explain the charges and the repairs made, and they always do a little extra. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

These guys are great!! quick responses great communication. I truly felt that I was in good hands. Whenever seeking a mechanic shop, there's always that apprehension because thoughts go through your head because you're now diving into a realm. You know nothing about and you're putting your trust in someone else who you hoped does. I'm here to tell you have no fear. These guys are good people. They take the time to listen and understand and learn about your concerns about your vehicle. They make sure there's a clear explanation and make sure you completely understand what is wrong with your vehicle and the next steps to provide a remedy. I strongly encourage you to take a breath and a sigh of relief when dealing with these guys, you got nothing to worry about. Mahalo Neue, thank you for being an honest business. read more

I award 5 Star rating to Neue Auto LLC, earned due to the diligence and honesty displayed by service advisor Mr. Alvin Niki and the Automotive Technician that performed the OBD Diagnostic test on our 2013 XC60 vehicle which begin indicating engine warnings, shutoff in safety mode and ending in engine service required urgent. 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. read more

There are those rare times when not receiving the service but complete assurance that there is nothing wrong with your vehicle and that it has been tested with a proper road test and other Diagnostics is the best experience you can receive from a car mechanic. Honesty goes a long way and it's a profound investment toward the future business relationship Once again apologies for resetting the battery literally the morning of my appointment and wasting your precious time. 1 hour of highly skilled diagnostic work and $0.00 on the invoice - no repair no charge level of professional ethics. WOW. read more

Local guys doing what they like to do. Oil change with a tire rotation as part of the inspection. All while changing your oil for under a hundred bucks. Can't go wrong when most places charge as separate services. Oops. Forgot they use full synthetic oil too. My car was done faster than they said it would take and ready when I came back for it. They have a waiting area but I recommend dropping off your vehicle. These guys are thorough with the service and it takes time sometimes. Just a reminder that they are located in an industrial area so large trucks and containers are around so areas can get tight. read more

Service, quality of work done was great! Showed exactly what was wrong with our car and fixed the issue. Mahalo TEAM NEUE!! read more

Called Thursday afternoon, was asked to call Friday as they were closing. (No problem). Saw the good reviews and explained I had low coolant and my engine temperature was high. I was told the process is a $185 diagnostic, followed by service. Diagnostic fee applies to service. Called Friday Morning expecting to come in but was told to set an appointment for Monday 9:45 AM. Explained again was looking for a coolant flush. I did not notice any leaks while car has been parked overnight. Was quoted $200-$400 for coolant flush. Monday showed up for appointment. Warm receptionist. Explained that I needed coolant for the car and if possible to be safe an oil change. She told me the diagnostic may take a bit (they are busy) but offered a Uber ride one way and to come back. Pretty awesome. I reiterated to call me and let me know when diagnostic was done. Watched a movie at ward. It's 2PM and diagnostic write up not done. I stayed and waited. They told me I could leave the car but I felt like it's been 4 hours already and no diagnostic and I just want a coolant flush and possible oil change $2200 quote. Showed me a few pictures of oil residue. Suggested oil gasket replacement. Even mentioned car could be a fire hazard. I keep pretty good care of the care and explained a drop in oil in the day before. I declined and asked for just the coolant flush and oil change. Even offered to sign that I declined full estimate. What made me feel terrible was that not knowing or telling me at all that he decided to put 100% water in my coolant while I was away. Usually I would have to agree to any service. I appreciate the oil top off of a quart, but water in a coolant was a deal breaker for me. I asked if he could take that out, offered to pay for a complete coolant flush as I originally wanted. He said there was a coolant leak so I asked to see it. 315 pm here. I have had the car on and see no leaks. I'm disappointed to be refused service, but more disappointed I was told that distilled water would not damage a car while simultaneously being told my car takes specifically 50/50 coolant formula. read more

I contacted this place through Yelp and they were very responsive and patient with me throughout the whole process! Their owner, Nick, was the one who got in touch with me on a weekend (they're closed on weekends btw!!). I was in a hurry to look for a place who does a pre purchase inspection for a car that I was looking to buy from a private party. Not only that they provided the best value out of all the other ones I inquired with but they also worked with me and my schedule and took me in ASAP since the owner of the car was on a time crunch selling the car. They also called me and provided updates with the car, explained stuff to me about the car, and also emailed me a copy of what they found in the car as well. Overall, it was such a great experience! Looking forward to working with you guys in the future. read more

Neue was a blessing to find. After going in circles for three months with a nissan dealer, Tony nissan to be exact. I decided to take my truck to another shop for diagnosis of problems. I did some research on yelp and found neue automotive repair. I sent a message to them on yelp explaining the issue I was sill having even after Tony Nissan replaced all these parts; MAF, exhaust manifolds, spark pluugs, wire, distributor cap, fuel injectors, and this was after I initially had tony nissan do the timing belt replacement package. This is when all the problems started with my truck and tony Nissan couldn't find their own mistake. Neue automotive repair diagnosed the problem and fixed it in two days. Truck is running excellent now. Problem was spark plugs over gapped and timing gear mark off by approximately two teeth by certified technicians at tony nissan. In two days Neue automotive had my truck up and running excellent. It is so amazing. Also, another thing I really appreciate with Neue automotive is their communication updating me of the status of my vehicle or ither issues. Me having a automotive background can see the knowledge and expertise these guys at Neue have. They explain everything step by step. They won me over, and definitely will go back when my vehicle require maintenance or service. Skip the dealers, go to Neue. All the employees are friendly and easy to talk to. read more
