    My catalytic converter was almost stolen - caught the thieves in the act - but it was damaged enough to require repair and some thought. How do I deter would-be thieves from trying again in the future? There didn't seem to be any local options so I went online and found only a few. One was a plate that covered the entire area near the catalytic converter underneath the car, basically a massive plate. That made sense as a deterrent but I've seen catalytic converters get red hot so didn't think trapping heat would be a smart move. I ended up choosing "CatSecurity" and took advantage of their 2 day free shipping anywhere - even to to Hawaii. Now the trick was to find someone who would do the install. My dealership wouldn't so I reached out to 5 auto shops with high stars. The only one who returned my inquiry with any kind of intelligence and care was NT Automotive. They were very up front. They had never done this model of catalytic converter protection before and asked for more details. I found the install instructions online and send it to them. They came back with a quote range (which totally made sense as they didn't know what they were getting into). I agreed and we set a date. Dropped off the car and picked it up within the same day. As the car was already off the lift they texted me a picture of the work. To my surprise, the cost was on the low end of the quote. The owner was super friendly and obviously knowledgeable. He now knows how to install CatSecurity products so if you'd like to protect your catalytic converter, order one online and bring it to NT!

    2013 pilot.  Pretty clean--looks like new
    Ed L.

    We took our 2013 Honda Pilot there for some fluid changes. They took great care of our vehicle and he even cleaned/detailed the entire engine--it looked brand new. Not even something we asked for and weren't charged at all. He also identified a bad shock in the rear and we won't hesitate to bring it back for more servicing. Very affordable....and clearly the mechanic is an automotive expert.

    I was given an estimate of $350.  Final invoice was $750, $665 of which was itemized as "labor".

    I needed a wheel bearing assembly replaced on 1 front tire on my car. NT Automotive estimated $350 for the job. Dropped the car off on Saturday and left it with them. Come Monday, they increased the price on me to $650 due to needing to outsource the work to another company. On Tuesday, when the car was ready for pickup, it mysteriously increased another hundred dollars and I was being charged $750. At no point was a $750 price tag discussed before starting the $350 job. Somehow, the cost just kept increasing, with the final price being MORE THAN DOUBLE (215%) what I was originally quoted. At most, a wheel bearing & hub assembly should cost about $200 at places like Napa Auto. Lower end assemblies can be purchased for less, $100-$150. This means I am being charged $600-$650 for labor. When I look at their invoice breakdown, save parts charges and taxes, I am being charged $450 for labor and $215 for outsourced labor. Outsourcing the labor was not communicated in the estimate prior to me taking in my car. By the time I was being told it would cost me MORE THAN DOUBLE my estimate, the existing wheel bearing assembly had already been taken apart, meaning, the car was already rendered undrivable until repaired by their pricing structure. In other words, I had no choice (other than towing the car somewhere) but to pay an arbitrary price they kept hiking up as "labor". If there's an unforeseen circumstance, I can understand $500. But $750?! To sell me on $350, then upcharge me $400 more than what they quoted feels deceptive, misleading, dishonest, ridiculous, disappointing, and unprofessional. Unless they spent 7-8 hours straight, uninterrupted, working on my single wheel bearing assembly, I don't know how you can justify charging $665 for labor. Poor communication. Not okay. Feeling blindsided. Would never go back. Would never recommend.

    Brake wasn't working at all for years -- completely rusted. This repair might have saved our lives.

    Professional and superior car repairs done with Aloha! - EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE - VAST KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CARS - WORKED WITH OUR BUDGET - QUALITY WORK, HIGH VALUE - OHANA RUN OPERATION - TRUE ALOHA SPIRIT I found Todd and Nori on Yelp after visiting Lex Brodie's for a check up. To be honest, I wish I had skipped Lex Brodie's and came to NT Automotive from the start! They are wonderful and are now my go to island automotive specialist. So here's my experience... Lex Brodie's sent me to an engine specialist because they suspected a leak. I looked online and brought my 2002 Ford Escape to Nori and Todd at NT Automotive right away. It was easy to set up a time and Nori was extremely responsive to my texts and calls for drop off. (See photos for examples of their superb communication!) After inspecting my car, Todd found something alarming that Lex Brodie's failed to notice -- only one of my front brakes was fully functioning! Not only is this extremely dangerous when driving up and down the pali each day but it's illegal to be on the road! I was especially upset because Lex Brodie's did a brake inspection and had me replace a brake part but didn't notice or mention this fatal flaw. (See before picture of wheel.) Lucky for me, I was in the hands of knowledgeable professionals. They searched the island for the part needed which was no longer in production. Next, they searched other islands and the mainland. They were able to track down the part off island and order it within hours of discovering the issue. With the part ordered we waited for it's arrival. In the meantime, Todd washed the engine. At this time a leak wasn't detected but I'll be back in a month for a follow up. When the part for the brakes arrived it was immediately installed and tested. Todd and Nori went above and beyond communicating with me and my grandpa along the way. Today, the brakes work perfectly and I feel safe driving my family around the island. Todd even gave me a full run down of future repairs with the suspension to expect given the age of my car (2002). He taught me what to look out for as precursors to the repairs. I can say I'm becoming more of a car girl thanks to him sharing his knowledge. All around I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team that is professional, polished, kind, and hard working! They provide so much value and I am beyond happy to support this local business! Thank you, Nori and Todd -- NT Automotive!

    I have a 2014 honda odyssey with electrical issues. Pretty sure it's the alternator. We need to tow is wherever we take it to avoid frying other parts. Time to fix it is of course critical for my family. Can this issue be fixed in a day?

    What are some of the electrical issues you are experiencing?

    Can you work on MGB? I think I may need carburetor adjustment. I don't have the SU carbs, instead I believe I have after market weber.

    Sorry no we don’t

    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!

I called this past Monday, 3/21/26, and Timo answered. I asked if there was any chance of getting in on Wednesday, 3/25/26, even though I knew it was short notice. He let me know they were pretty booked that day but offered Thursday, 3/26/26 instead. My schedule was full on Thursday, so we settled on Tuesday, 3/31/26. Later that day, my Thursday opened up, so I called back. Timo picked up again and was able to fit me in at 9am. Super easy, super friendly. When I arrived today, 3/26, the owner, Bubba, greeted me right away and welcomed me in. I let him know I had a 9am appointment and that I was a few minutes late because I went to the wrong address. I also mentioned that I'd actually been to them years ago at their old location (funny enough, also with a gift certificate) and had a great experience back then too. Bubba shared that they'd moved to this new spot just about a year ago. He checked me in and asked if I planned to wait or leave. I told him I'd stay, and he gave me the option of sitting outside or heading upstairs to their waiting room with AC and a TV. Upstairs, there's even a window where you can see the mechanics working on the vehicles, which I thought was a nice touch. I got some work done on my laptop while I waited. A little later, one of the mechanics came up to let me know he recommended a tire rotation. He walked me through the estimate he texted over, and I approved it. Not long after, he came back to tell me everything was done, and that I had a zero balance. I asked if he was sure because I was prepared to pay for the rotation, but he said Bubba took care of it. I thanked him and asked for his name, and he told me it was Timo. I mentioned that he was actually the one who helped me over the phone when I booked my appointment, and I thanked him again. That kind of gesture says a lot about the heart behind a business. When I headed downstairs, Bubba even backed my truck out for me so I could pull right out. I thanked him again and was on my way. From start to finish, the service was genuinely great. Everyone was friendly, laid back, and humble. The shop itself isn't fancy, but that's part of its charm--you can feel the honesty and hard work in the way they run things. It's the kind of place where you know you're being taken care of, not taken advantage of. I highly recommend A‑1 Auto Repair and will definitely be returning for future service or repairs. Mahalo to Bubba, Timo, and the whole A‑1 team for the awesome experience!

The most reputable, integrity-infused auto repair shop I've encountered in years. There are still a few good ones left on the windward and leeward side but they're disappearing fast as the masters of "autocraft" retire to greener pastures. A-1 is exceptional in many facets but it's the welcoming experience and genuine concern to diagnose your problem correctly the first time that is sublime. They fixed a problem with our Fiat Cinquecento that had baffled most mechanics. But A-1 actually has a certified Fiat repair professional on staff so the results were exemplary. Our go-to shop for now on (not only the foreign cars), and highly recommend you make them yours as well. Veteran owned business who brings the exacting methodology and talents of aircraft engine maintenance down to the consumer automotive market. Bravo Zulu!
