Went in for walk in safety check. Fast and friendly service. Didn't have to make appointment.

A little confused saw the reviews about safety checks. Called them and said they don't do any.

Tony is very professional and respectful and he is very knowledgeable awesome guy and mechanic.

Highly recommend for your safety check. Super nice and friendly person. I would go to him when my truck has any mechanical issues.

I love to do my safety check here. They are a walk in service and very fast and efficient. I forgot that it was cash only. He completed my safety check and said bring it by the next time you are in the area. I was blessed with his kind hearted gesture. And I went right back read more

Review #12 for 2022. I needed to get a safety check for my car, so I asked some friends for suggestions. Two friends suggested TS Autoworks, so I gave them a call. No appointment was needed, so I just drove over, and the one man there helped me within a few minutes. He was super nice. He asked for my registration, insurance, and mileage, and after checking things out, he took some pictures. The process was quick and efficient, and I was happy to give a tip on top of the $25 charge because he was so nice. Tip: Don't accidentally park in front of the bar next door. I thought there was shared parking because there's no signage, and the lady came out and yelled at me. I would've gone in to grab a drink or snack, but heck no after the way she treated me! read more

I like this shop. Very fast safety inspection. Will come back again. Definitely recommend it.

I came here for a state safety inspection without a reservation and was in/out without wait or issue. I pulled right into the garage and he began to check my car. It couldn't have gone smoother or been any faster. Highly recommend this business in the future. read more

You're a lifesaver! I was having a horrible day but your compassion, honesty and thoroughness made my day. Tony did such great work with my car that I've saved his number into my phone, trust me it's a big deal. He is now my go to mechanic for my baby. I've taken her back to get an oil change and safety check since her little breakdown a few months back and I will continue to bring her to Tony. He's a one man shop (along with his office assistant, which I'm kicking myself right now for not remembering her name) so keep that in mind and be kind. He works hard and cars are a time consuming task. It's good to know in a world of advantage takers and shady people, you can still find honest and reliable people out there. read more

The guy that did my safety check was very patient and helpful, even though a line of customers was starting to form, and he was the only person working (as I saw). Coming here for sure to do my safety check again next year! No appointment needed, fcfs read more

Quick and reliable I came in before closing for a safety check and he quickly took some pictures and I was good to go before I knew it! (Cash only for safety checks) read more

Called to make an appointment for a safety check, and was notified that they only accept walking ins. I went down and was greeted and took me in as soon as possible. Fast and friendly. Highly recommended read more

Awesome service and value. No BS. Showed up. Did work. Paid and left. Very efficient. Will give my future business.

Forget the rest call the best....... Tony was recommended by a friend and I have been going to him for four years now. He is honest and does exceptional work, he has a modest shop and is only one man so be patient with him. It's worth the wait if you want it done right. read more

Solid honest respectful guy...been going to him for years and he is one of the hidden gems on the island...

Came in to get a safety inspection a few weeks back. Tony is amazing - thorough, friendly, and most importantly - HONEST. I happened upon his shop by chance, but he is my new mechanic. Honest mechanics are worth their weight in gold, and I'd recommend him to anybody, any time. read more

You can't go wrong with Tony and his crew. The most knowledgeable and honest automotive shop I've found in a very long time. I can't recommend them enough. Tony works in everything but knows his Toyota's inside out, way more than the typical service tech and also even the Toyota dealers service center. This is the spot! You won't be sorry. read more

I've been going to Tony for years. He's very knowledgeable with all cars, new or older. He's honest and saved me money from unnecessary repairs. My daughters now go to him also. Kristen is a sweetheart also, keeps me updated on the repairs or additional costs and will work with your schedule. read more

Quick, fast and not bad on the prices. Biggest plus is that he is open on Saturdays for us individuals that work through the week.

Highly recommended! Tony is a knowledgeable and reliable person. He is the go-to guy in town.

called ahead for safety check availability, it's on a first come first serve basis so no appointment needed! He's only allowed to approve a certain amount a day so make sure you go early. Safety check was a breeze and super efficient compared to long lines in different locations. I was in and out without a line. Went during lunch break. read more

Went down to this place by recommendation from few people and the fact that it is walking distance from my work place. Their shop is not on the main drag and a little tucked away in to the Kalihi industrial area. Nevertheless a great place to go to get any of your auto work done. I came here for a all around break pad replacement and I did shop around. I shopped around and their price was same as most shops in town. They were a lot cheaper than Firestone and I would guess a lot better service. The shop is small, but fairly clean and organized. Tony is the owner of TS and very friendly and upfront guy. He'll give you the best case scenario and the worst case scenario in terms of cost. In talking with him, I got the feeling that this guy knows exactly what he's talking about ( I do know enough about cars) and I felt very comfortable and confident with him. I brought in my car in late morning and my car was done by end of my work. Anyways, I highly recommend this shop to at least check out for yourself and maybe even get a quote. I think you'll get the same impression I did. I definitely plan on coming here for my future repairs and services! read more

My vehicle would not start and despite multiple attempts to jumpstart, I ended up having to get my vehicle towed. I was going to have it towed to the dealer but the towing company suggested that I tow it to TS Autoworks and I'm glad I took his suggestion. Tony communicated professionally and courteously. He was very upfront with me regarding what he thought the problem was and how much he thought it would cost. At the end of the day, not only did he resolve my issue, he also told me about a couple of other things that I had suspected were issues with my vehicle but which I could not put a finger on. After I got the car back from TS Autoworks, I could definitely hear and feel an improvement in the way the car starts up and runs. Anyway, I have found an auto mechanic that will be getting my business in the future. Not only is he an expert in the trade and dealt with his business professionally and ethically, his shop location is quite central and makes it very convenient. I'd highly recommend TS Autoworks for auto repair issues. Thanks Tony! read more

Tony and Kristy are a Professional Team! Tony was rccomemended by a friend, I called TS auto worksand they were booked a week out. I made my appointment but then my van started to smell like something was "burning" , and called TS auto works it let them know what was going on. They moved my appointment up! Tony,s Never too busy to take a call and Kristy the office manager is very helpful and friendly when setting up appointments. Turns out the trouble was the air conditioner compressor. Tony replaced the compressor, After a few days something was leaking so I had to take my van back, Tony went outt of his way to take my van in rechecked everything, and my van was fixed! Tony is a professional who takes the time to listen and gives accurate honest estimates And good work! Hard to find a honest , good auto repair company, TS auto works is it. Vance Owen read more

Went to Tony to get my brakes checked and to find out why my check engine light was on. Tony was very helpful, straight up, and down to earth. He gave me an estimate on doing brake work, but also let me know that I didn't need to replace them just yet because my pads still had life in them. Where else can you find a mechanic that let's you know that your wasting money if you fix it now!? And to top it off the estimate was on point. Instead, he gave my truck a tune up at a very fair price and fixed my door, put some oil, and put air in my tires. There were a few other things that I was concerned about and he addressed all of them and gave me estimates that were far cheaper than the other "brand name" place, ie Lex Brodie. No more check engine light! I will definitely be back to fix all the other things and suggest you check them out too if you want a fair deal, quick service, and an outstanding job done! read more

I was referred to Tony at TS Autoworks by Clint from CR Imports. My car, a 2005 Scion xA had been making a loud noise while driving straight & turning left. Tony is such a knowledgeable guy that as soon as I told him what I was experiencing, he immediately knew what was wrong. I also asked about a vibration & he told me that it was normal for xA's & xB's to do that at about 90k miles (mine is at 91k+, he was so on it!) Brought my car in & sure enough, Tony was right on the money! He also found another issue & brought it to my attention. Tony fixed both problems & possibly even saved me from an accident. To my surprise, he called to let me know my car was done in just a few hours. Tony's knowledge, honesty & excellent customer service will keep me coming back! My car feels & sounds great! Got car problems? Go see Tony at TS Autoworks! read more

Took my car and called in to see if I could get an appointment to get a safety check here. The girl answered the phone and was pretty cocky with her attitude a kind of attitude like if you want to come come if you don't want to come we don't care. Anyways I took my car in and walked into the office she said "he'll help you outside." So I waited outside for about 5 minutes while he was working on a car until he finally approached me and asked me what's going on today? He had a friendly attitude and was nice but when I asked to do a safety check he asked why what's wrong? like I had something wrong with my car. And I said nothings wrong I just needed a safety check. He said okay and asked where the vehicle was. I showed him and by one look of it he said no it's not going to pass because of the bumpers HAHA! bumpers doesn't have much to do with a safety check I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that I had aftermarket bumpers but what does that have to do with getting a safety check. His reason was because the system is sensitive now and it won't pass lol sounds more like he never like do my safety check... reviews looked good and I appreciate him telling me before he did it and failed me but I think I'll take my business somewhere else where they care about you giving them your money NEXT! read more

BEST. PLACE. EVER. If you're military and have a "modified" vehicle, go here!!! I promise you Tony will inspect your vehicle without any issues or need to get a "RECON" memo. Don't waste your time anywhere else, I promise. read more

My fuel pump went out at the worst time. Thought it was going to take at least a week to fix my truck. Tony had it fixed in a couple of days. They also recommended an affordable tow for me. Tony and his staff are super friendly and completely honest. It's hard to find honest mechanics nowadays. Tony is the real deal. I will definately go back to him with all of my future repairs! read more

GREAT place!! This will be my go to spot for safety inspection renewal! Awesome customer service... cash only. Make sure your registration and insurance are up to date. No waiting area but you can wait in your car and the guy will let tou know when its your turn. He is also very understanding... this will be my go to place for safety checks. read more

Super professional, knowledgeable, customer-oriented business in which always places customers concerns as the top priority. Anything from repairs to vehicle safety inspections, they have you covered! read more

I took my car in and Tony said I needed to fix one thing on my car and to come back. So I called before I came back and the girl told me over the phone that I needed to fix more things on the car to pass. I told her that tony only said to fix one thing and I did. So I wanted to speak with tony and he was all of a sudden "busy" I left my name and number for him to call me back and he never did end up calling me back. He just lost a customer who has many vehicles and always leaves a good tip. Oh well...the guy 2 blocks down made easy money read more

It's a smaller shop but it's worth the wait if you have to wait. Tony is really knowledgeable and honest, which is a rare combination for any profession. And his secretary, Christen, is on point and doens't just answer phones. read more

came in after getting the run-around at Lex Brodies. handled my truck like a professional. did my safet inspection in fuve minutes read more

My 2004 Ford Ranger would crank, but would not start. I had it towed to Ts Autoworks based on previous reviews posted on Yelp. Tony was able to look at it right away, and gave me an estimate over the phone for a new fuel pump (which is what I had suspected was the cause of the problem) with a full explanation of estimate costs. He completed the job quickly and efficiently, and for a reasonable price. Ts Autoworks will be my "go-to" repair shop for any future car or truck problems. read more

I own 1999 Mercedes C280 Sport & it decided to take a sabbatical on Beretania St. Thankfully I was not in the way of traffic. Called Tony Sai & he was able to get a tow truck out to me in no time at all! Tony repaired my Mercedes, & even washed it!! Thank you Tony for the awesome service! You ROCK!! read more

Tony did something (don't ask me what it was) and ended up finding another problem totally unrelated. He said if it had gone on much longer it would've caused huge, expensive problems. He even gave me the broken part. Thanks for saving me, Tony!! read more

I just had my alternator replaced today, and after shopping around, the prices here were very fair. On top of that, he was the only shop who would install parts not purchased thru him, although I ended up just going thru him anyway. I was pleased with how fast he was able to get me in and out of his shop and how he never tried to up-sell to any additional unnecessary repairs or services that usually accompany other mechanics. This was my first time here, and I felt so comfortable that I will definitely be bringing my car back if/when I need any more work done. read more

I was referred to Tony by a work friend when I was telling her about my car troubles. I am glad I listened because Tony gives honest advice, is great at customer service, and charges a fair price. I definitely will go back and recommend that you go check him out first if you are having automotive issues. Jon Y. read more

First visit to Ts Autoworks, and I could not have been more satisfied with the experience! Kristen was friendly, helpful and efficient. She always kept me well informed of the job status, which I really appreciated. Tony was honest, knowledgeable and courteous. With the amount of work to be done, I anticipated it would take at least a couple days, but Tony stayed late to finish the job- all in a day's work, at a very fair price! I highly recommend Ts Autoworks to meet your auto needs. Thank you, Kristen and Tony, for the quality service and excellent customer experience! read more
