A huge thank you to Justin for always providing honest, efficient, and exceptional service over the years. I've visited both their Waipahu and Honolulu locations numerous times, and every experience has been met with friendly communication, professionalism, and quality work. These guys truly know what they're doing, and they're quick too. They definitely have busy days, but that's only because they're one of the best tire and wheel shops on the island. Plus, they carry all the good brands of wheels at a great price. Ladies, if your tire pressure light ever comes on and you're not sure how to put air in your tires, just stop by any of their locations. They'll check your tire pressure and fill your tires with air free of charge. If it's something more serious, they'll inspect it, patch the tire if needed, or help determine what's causing the issue. I highly recommend this company and am proud to be a longtime customer. They've earned my trust, and I'll continue coming back for all of my tire and wheel needs.

The price was $27 if you pay with cash or $30 with a credit card, which was very reasonable. The entire team was friendly, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing.

Was impressed with the service so I came back again. On my recent return, i noticed the hours changed. I miss this place having to be opened until 4:00ish since my last safety check. Still do not need to get out of the car but just need to get your required documents ready as well as the mileage since they will ask from you verbally and check your odometer. Need to follow the staff instructions as asked and they do check window tint. They usually take out the old safety stick and place new one on your bumper but this time, the staff just placed it over my old which I didn't like. I tried asking but no time so maybe next time... This place can get busy since I had to park on the side and wait in line queue outside and reversing back into traffic on queen street can be intimidating at times when it is busy after all is done. $27 safety check fee which includes tax (but add $3 more if paying by debit/credit card). Some stuff changed but still I would still consider this place again for safety check and for convenience.

But the time I'm in front of Punahou School my car is dead. Like all the way dead. I suspect it's my alternator, but I think, "Hasn't it only been a couple of years?" Well, I look it up and in fact it has been almost exactly 3 years. I look up how long an alternator is supposed to last and it says 80k - 150k miles. Hm. I calculate in my head and realize my average rate of driving is about 25k miles, so I've probably driven about 75k miles or more in the time since I last replaced my alternator. So sad. I call my regular mechanic and they are not open because it's like 700 pm on a Friday night. Sigh. I call my dad and he says I should try calling Mr Wong at C & S Auto. I leave a message and Mr Wong calls me back and tells me to bring the car in on Saturday as early as possible; he'll be there from 700 am, and the shop closes early (I think that meant 200 pm). In the morning I call AAA and they tow my car. Tiffany comes out to meet me and tell the tow truck driver where to put the car. I talk with Mr Wong and Tiffany and tell them what I think and what happened. They hook up my car and away we go. By 100 pm my car is done. On SATURDAY! I don't have to rent a car to get to work, either. It cost about $550 and they replaced my alternator and belt. Bomb! They don't seem to have a waiting room or anything but it's definitely within walking distance to Ward and all that has to offer. It's a smallish shop but these guys definitely seem to know what they're doing and they're so nice! Can't beat that! We usually go to a mechanic in Waipahu that we really like but having a mechanic near my house and is open on Saturdays is awesome. And the customer service was fab! So if you're looking for a mechanic in the town area who is reasonable and trustworthy, check out Mr Wong over at C & S Auto. They're conveniently located just off Ward on Ilaniwai, and you're bound to have a favorable experience too!

Lesson learned. I ultimately had to fix the truck myself. While most mechanics can hear, most mechanics can't listen. Communication is a major issue here. No contact with me before they replaced new, original manufacturer parts I had installed but charging me big for trial-and-error part swaps (SEE PHOTOS). I'll give the short story first before I get into details. IN SHORT: I took the truck in with a check engine light recording a P0305 (sometimes P0300) engine misfire. The truck was at Punahou shop for 5 weeks (plus two days). Nothing was fixed at a cost of nearly $1,700. The shop was tired of dealing with it and resorted to the "engine needs a rebuild," which was a diversion from their inability to find and fix the real malfunction. With truck returned, I bought test kits and reviewed the engine symptoms. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, which stopped the engine misfire and the check engine light. I also replaced the fuel pressure regulator to fix very low fuel pressure at the fuel rails. Now, the engine starts at first turn of the key, accelerates without stutter/hesitation and has restored engine power under load to factory standard. THE DETAILS: I took the truck to Punahou Auto Service on March 6 with a misfire issue. I told them I had replaced everything from the distributor cap to the spark plugs and fuel injectors. They said an engine diagnostic starts at $650. I said no thanks at that price and asked them to remove the engine head unit and have it rebuilt (the truck has 160K miles). We had a verbal agreement, so I spent the next days believing this work was underway. The next Friday, they called and said the truck was fixed. By the time I arrived, they told me oops, the check engine light came back on and there was still the engine misfire. Before I left, I reminded them that they were tasked to remove the head and have it rebuilt (not do as they please). I was told nothing about cost at this point. Two more weeks passed, so I called to check the status of the head rebuild. They told me over the phone that they were sorry, but the past two weeks a Ford Ranger pickup was occupying the mechanic who had worked on my truck. I was upset that my truck sat for two weeks after they worked on it the previous week, but I remained calm and polite. I came into the shop the next morning to take my truck out of their shop in as-is condition, but they told me I owed them $1,100 and wherever I take the truck next the same fees for diagnostics will be charged again. Nothing was fixed and they had no clue what was causing the misfire, but said they think they are close to finding the problem. They talked me into keeping the truck in their shop. I was told the expense was currently at $1,100 so I no longer wanted the engine head rebuilt (they said it doesn't need it). Week four, they called on Good Friday before Easter to say they can't fix the truck so come get it. I arrived and paid the bill, which had increased to $1,659.55. None of the parts replaced were told to me in advance. I had recently installed those parts. After I paid the bill, the shop owner said the truck's engine is shot and the computer has the truck in 'limp mode', so I need to drive it at a top speed of 5-10 miles per hour or have the truck towed. Again, I was upset but remained calm and polite. I asked how did I pay so much money to receive my truck in this condition after I could drive the truck at 70 mph before I brought it to them? The shop owner agreed to keep the truck to get it out of 'limp mode'. I called the following Tuesday, but still not ready. This was week five. I finally received the truck in mid-April. The owner walked with me and I started it up. It didn't want to start and when it did, it was sputtering. I was frustrated and told him the truck always started fine on the first key turn. His replied that I need a new engine. I drove the truck home with the check engine light on and the misfire. Immediately, I bought test kits. I tested compression - all good. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and the misfire stopped (check engine light also deactivated). I still had the hard-to-start/crank engine issue, so I tested the fuel pressure. I removed the fuel pressure regulator, which had an obvious dent in it. The valve inside seemed to be jammed open, preventing fuel pressure. I suspect the mechanic dented it because fuel pressure was fine before. Also, the wires to the Idle Control Valve were so taunt around the lower intake plenum that one was pulled out of the control valve. I had to replace both damaged parts. Now, the truck fires up on the first key turn and the engine runs without a sputter or hesitation on the accelerator. The engine power is back to factory standard with no misfire or check engine light.
