Went to Wayne's auto about a year ago because my horn wasn't working and they were able to replace the horn within a few hours and have my car ready to go. My horn stopped working after about 6 months and I put off going in until my safety check was up Now over a year later Wayne's honored the horn warranty and replaced the horn in a couple hours no charge! It was super easy making an appointment over the phone and dropping my car off. Will definitely recommend this place! read more

Pros: They got it done, same day, issue resolved. Cons: Customer service is a no go. Office lady borderline rude. Mechanic was questioning why I brought in the car (because charging system was within spec abit on the high side and my dash lights, window motors, headlights, A/C were all resetting while driving) I told him to press the accelerator and then read the meter (+15V), (which I know because it alt meter on the dash pegged into the red) he suddenly changes his mind and goes "well I can't guarantee it but looks like your alternator/voltage regulator" Ok, which I was trying to tell you while you were cutting me off..... Long story short, they got it done, but at over 500 on a domestic alternator with straight ahead install and a dash of attitude like "we're doing YOU the favor of allowing you to bring your car here? and no warranty? Nope, go elsewhere. read more

Not gonna beat around the bush and get to the point, quality of service, value and service requested was 10/10 all in a timely manner. Amazing how such a small shop figured out the mysterious issue, what 2 of the main dealers of my car couldnt figure out for months. Thank you for your honest work read more

I have been having issues with my driver's side headlight off and on for a year. It would work here and there and then shut off. Brought it to three different places and they couldn't figure it out. I brought it to Wayne's and within an hour he knew exactly what was wrong with it and fixed it completely within the next hour. It ended up being a blown socket which was causing a faulty connection. Wish I had found this man sooner, but so grateful I found him at all! Oh and the woman running the desk, maybe his mother?, Was super polite / kind and they both made sure there was clear communication at all times! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Wayne's Auto Electric is honest, thorough, reliable and affordable. I LOVE my Pontiac Trans Am that was having electrical issues. They fixed it after I sent it to several mechanics and they couldn't figure it out. It was out of commission for two months and got towed several times. They gave me two different solutions to pick from to get it back on the road again. LOVE this place. Will always come back! read more

It's obviously no fun when you have to get some lights or electrical circuits replaced on your vehicle, and I've had to come here three times to get my reverse lights and rear left-turn light replaced. But thankfully, the people here at Wayne's Auto Electric are good enough and get the job done and the prices are not super-expensive overall. Probably best to call ahead of time and find out when it the best day to drop off your vehicle to have it looked at. They are located in the business district of Kaka'ako. read more

Should be 6 stars! I first went to Goodyear with what I was sure was an alternator problem but they said everything checked out alright even after a $200 diagnostic check! The very knowledgeable receptionist at Wayne's even knew that the Goodyear check was not done properly because they used the new battery I had installed!! Wayne's also got the job done super fast and for a great price!! Don't go anywhere else, just call Wayne's and you won't have anything to worry about!! Could not recommend more highly!!!!! read more

We were in Oahu to take care of our student sons needs as he moved out of dorm at University. One of the problems he had was his truck having multiple issues. After a few enquiries we found this shop. Our experience was nothing short of amazing. Honest, to the point, efficient and once again honest. There is no one better on the island fir your cars electrical needs. Jared snd Gilda were outstanding. Thanks read more

I called this morning! Greeted warmly on the phone. Come down & we will look at your Toyota 4Runner & give you an estimate. Put in alternator at fair price! Happy customer! read more

After I replaced 2 motor mounts in my Acura (...On the street, ...in the sun), my sense of accomplishment was vanished when I found the ac did not blow cold now. I did not want to take back out the fans to check all the wiring myself at this point. I found Wayne's on yelp. With their good reviews I drove down to see them. They took me right in, found the damaged wire, and corrected it in a half hour!! Plus they charged me a half hour, not one hour!! Skilled, honest, highly recommended company!! Thank you Wayne's read more

My friend Gordon recommended Wayne's to me when my car appeared to have something draining it's battery. I had a new battery installed only for it to need jump starts after a couple days. I read the yelp reviews and was encouraged; I dropped it off in the morning with no appointment expecting to pay big bucks for a new alternator only to find out that the wiring was bad with the negative battery connection. Car was done for only 52 bucks! They told me that they can do full service repairs for Hondas and Toyotas so although I love my mechanic at Halawa Valley Auto, good to know I have a trustworthy place in town. Nice, honest people- check it out! read more

I read the Yelp reviews and learned that Wayne's was the place to go for auto electrical problems so when my van was acting up on the way to work I drove to Wayne's without an appointment and by lunch I received a call saying that my car was ready for pick up! Jarret was very friendly, called for permission before doing any work, and answered all my questions with great detail. Bookmark Wayne's if you plan on holding on to your car for any length of time, because if you do electrical problems is almost a foregone conclusion. Wayne's is now my go to place for auto electrical issues and I recommend them without hesitation. read more

Wayne's helped me a lot in troubleshooting my Jeep's woes. I HIGHLY recommend this shop for any electrical-related work. Took my Jeep Wrangler to Wayne's because I was convinced that my Jeep's electrical was going berzerk. The radio was blinking uncontrollably, my AC was screeching, and the blinker just had to be replaced. He logically and calmly approached the issue :) and found no major issues, fixed a hole in one of the tubes for the AC and fixed it, and gave me advice on the radio... that it probably needed to be replaced (lol). Only charged me for parts. Thank you!! read more

They provided a quick diagnosis for my vehicle's electrical problems which turned out to be the master switch for the windows and door locks. They said they could order and install the switch from the dealer but it would cost over $1,000. Instead they suggested I order it on eBay and then bring it to them for installation. Turns out it only cost about $100 online. They charged me one hour labor for initial diagnosis to disassemble and reassemble the switch. It only took about 10 min to install the new switch so they didn't charge me any extra amount. What a great customer service encounter. They have superb expertise and experience and I will continue to recommend them to others. read more

Brought our vehicle to Wayne's Auto Electric he did a great job. We had to find an auto shop that could syphon gas out of our vehicle. Our own dealership Serve Co Toyota didn't want to take the responsibility to do it. Called many auto shops and they also didn't want to do the job especially that our vehicle was newer. I prayed and let Gods will be done. Wayne Auto Electric was the shop God lead us too. Everything went well and affordable price. Syphon gas can range from $500-$1,000. Our price was only $60. If anyone who's looking for a auto shop try check Wayne's Auto Electric. read more

dudes are awesome don't waste time or money bothering with another shop. you'll just end up here anyway. Worked on my suburban as well as my 6.0 excursion. both issues solved and have yet to reappear. plus all the guys are just way welcoming helpful and fun to chat with read more

They were quick and affordable. Will recommend to anyone looking for a trustable quick electrical auto company.

I'm never taking my car anywhere else. You can fully trust Wayne's- they know what they're doing, they're fair, and they're fast. What more could you ask for? I used to take my car to Kahala Shell cause it was close by & convenient but I always felt like I was being ripped off. It was such a relief to take my car in to Wayne's and they fixed the odometer same day. I called around to get quotes and the same job at the dealer and another place was $500 +!!! Sooo happy I called Wayne's and they got the job done for under $100. I wish I knew about this place years ago. Would have saved me a lot of $$. I tried going to Stewarts but they said they couldn't do the job. read more

I have dropped off my vehicles here many times and am always pleased when I come back to pick it up. I've had problems with draining batteries, lights not working, anything electric I take my car here. I dropped off my golf this morning at 9:00 and was called to pick it up at 1:00.They called and told me my latest problem was with my aftermarket stereo and I needed a different alternator. They advised it would be expensive and to just uninstall the amp/sub instead. They said they didn't really do much(their words) and just charged me $20 for the time. (They have an hourly billable rate of $85). It's tough to find reputable car repair shops, this is one of the few honest ones left. I recommend anyone with electrical problems take their car here. read more

What a scam artist. Based of the reviews I thought this was the place to go. He had my truck for a week before calling to say they couldn't find the issue, and that'll be $100. When I looked at the wiring when I got my truck back, he hadn't even moved the wires from where I left them. read more

Going to an auto repair shop is generally not a pleasant experience that anyone looks forward to for any reason but you always hope the sting isn't as bad as you expect it to be... Here at Wayne's Auto Electric, the quality workmanship & service coupled with the price ensure that the pain is minimal! As far as repair shops go, Wayne's specializes in auto electrical system(s) repair. If you're having problems related to the electrical system such as lights not working or electronic switches or lights not turning on this is one of the go to places to take the car in to get it checked out. Like any other auto repair business in the Kaka'ako area, Wayne's is a very simple and minimal looking shop that you'd expect. There's no frills like lots of covered parking and a nice reception area with receptionists to help you fill out paperwork and pay for service like at other repair shops or at the dealer but you shouldn't expect it. You pull up to the front of the shop which is basically an open air garage with cars lined up on the inside in various states of repair work and a little desk sits off on the far right side where you fill out paperwork and pay. It is the epitome of a no-nonsense repair shop and that's fine by me. Jarret, who is the manager and what seemed like the sole proprietor was pleasant to work with. As I mentioned earlier, this is a no-nonsense place so you can expect that Jarret will cut to the chase and try to figure out exactly what is wrong with your car's electrical system. No BS, no schmoozing, no salesmanship but again this is expected and also a very great way to ensure things get done. Jarret is a pleasant guy however, so as long as you're now screwing around and beating around the bush he'll take the time to listen to your problem and explain things. I called him a day prior and explained my problem with the dashboard lights not illuminating and he said to bring my car in the next morning as soon as they open. When I arrived early in the morning at 7am when the shop opens, he wasn't there but his assistant was and she took my information down along with the key and told me Jarret would contact me as soon as he looked at the car. A few hours later I was called and given a brief explanation and made arrangements to pay and picked up my car. Unfortunately due to the timing of bills and other things I had to pay for during this holiday season, I couldn't pay the entire bill upfront but Jarret worked something out with me so that I could still take my car and have the work finished up later in the week. Now that's awesome service! Other times I've come here for other repair jobs, for similar issues, it's been quick and in-and-out. I've come to get sensors for lights repaired or replaced and it's been reasonable. Even the problem I was experiencing with my dashboard lights and tail light was reasonably priced and spot-on. No overcharging for things I didn't need & I didn't break the bank on labor costs either! Reliable and dependable service is the name of the game here! These are the reasons I keep coming back when I need electrical work done on my car. It's a no frills shop but they get job done right and reasonably affordable! Who can't like that combination? read more

I came down to Wayne's Auto on a Friday morning. The auto shop was relatively easy to find. K&Y Auto Service bought Wayne's Auto Electric back in August 2001. Look for K&Y Auto Service signs because that's where you'll find Wayne's Auto Electric. I was greeted by Jarret and from there I explained the symptoms of my car to him. He was friendly, honest, and offered me a quick easy fix tip to try first before choosing to have my car checked out by him. He's not pushy and very straight forward. The quick easy fix tip solved my problem and I'm grateful for his help. I would highly recommend his services in the future! Thanks Jarret! read more

The shop that I took my car to was not able to fix the window - it was an electric problem. The tech working on my car recommended Wayne's and even dropped my car off there for me. Justin worked on my car. Gave me the sad news that the part would cost a surprising $515 from the dealership. It was more than I was expecting to pay so I picked up the car and he gave me info on the part. I did pay for the 1/2 hour he spent diagnosising the problem and left. Luck was on my side. Amazon had the part for $65 and 2 days later I was back. He replaced the part, fixed the problem and didn't charge me anything for the second visit. I love finding Honest, Friendly, Experienced places like this. Check them out! read more

I have a company ford van that is hardly driven but even sitting idle requires regular maintenance so we contacted Honolulu Ford like we have done in the past. It shouldnt be news to anyone that service at dealers are typically higher than independent shops. HNL Ford did not have any open time slots for about 2 weeks so we looked around Kakaako and of course used Yelp. We saw that Wayne's had many good reviews so our admin set up an appointment for me. On the day that I dropped off the van, I was greeted by Jarrett who is the VP and seems to run the entire operation. He was very easy to talk to and there was so many things I wanted to do with the maintenance since the van had not been serviced in over a year. One by one as I mentioned the specific repair, Jarrett would methodically explain to me that I would either not need it or he could look and give me a diagnosis. The maintenance and repairs were done in a reasonable time and I was very surprised at the total cost which was lower than i expected. Just bummers that he only services american and asian imports but not european cars. Jarrett - thanks for a good job and I will be a repeat customer! read more

I have frequented this business since I moved from the Big Island to Oahu, back in 2008. One time back in 2009 (when the economy was super bad and we were all just trying to make ends meet and stay afloat) my starter on my work truck was not getting a hot, and they trouble shot it but there was something amiss with my wiring harness, and the mechanic ran a hot from the battery to my starter, and told me, "This isn't the correct fix, but it will get you back on the road and back to work. We're not going to charge you for this." Very cool, very nice people. Today I was driving my 2014 Ford F150 and I lost power, the temperature gauge pegged at the top of the scale, and I limped off of the H-1 to look at my options. I called Wayne's Auto Electric and after I described what I had going on they told me to just bring it in. The tow truck driver I hired charged me $250+ to tow it from top of Waialae to around Ward and Kapiolani. I dropped the truck off at 10:00 a.m. expecting the worse. At 3:00 p.m. I get a call from Wayne's Auto Electric and they told me that I was back on the road, and everything was cool- just a bad water pump and a new serpentine belt, and some new coolant. I wouldn't post the price, except that they were so amazingly fair with me! $413.00! Very fair! And they got me back on the road and working in less than a day! If I were to say three things about Waynes Auto Electric, I would say very knowledgeable technicians, very fair prices, and very good people! Thank you! I will (and have) refer you to anyone I know who needs your services! Aloha- Toby. read more

Wayne's Auto Electric is awesome!! My husband's 2007 Acura MDX has had electrical problems for the last couple of years. We took it to the dealership and they had no idea what to do. The car died five times yesterday. We finally decided to take it to Wayne's, and they fixed it in two minutes. The battery connector wasn't pushed down and tightened all the way. They are so knowledgeable and trustworthy. read more

Waynes Auto Electric is a small family run business. Jarret and his father are both excellent mechanics. They are honest and fair. They have done the mechanical and electrical work on all of my cars for over 20 years. Jarret is great with auto-electrical issues! His mom is great and she runs the office. I have nothing but the highest praise for this local family operated business. read more

I went for an oil change and general visual checkup of my vehicle. They were fast, friendly and efficient. Furthermore, they did not encourage me to get some work done that another mechanic did, and they justified why I could wait on that repair that the other mechanic was pushing read more

Wow outstanding. These guys are truly the best there is!! Had to get my horn fixed for inspection and was struggling with it. Called up and they fit me in as soon as the could! Brought my car in and they figured out the issue and fixed it right away!! They were super nice and very honest! My go to for any electrical issues!! Great and very kind people!! read more

This place seems reasonable and diagnosed a tricky fuel problem. They call before doing any work which is nice.

This shop was able to diagnose and repair an electrical fault in my Toyota Celica quickly. The customer service was pleasant and the job done in a timely manner. Much appreciation. read more

Called first thing in the morning and told them the problem with my vehicle and was told to come on down. They identified the problem and fixed it. They have great customer service and repairs are very reasonably priced. read more

I needed help with my old subaru to fix a tail light. After replacing the bulb didn't work, I had to look for another solution. I had 3 different people at work tell me to take my car to Wayne's. So I did. Called and made an appointment. The place was easy to find. Wayne was friendly and professional. Since my car was quite old, he had to order a part. He told me he would call me when he got the part. He called me the next day saying he had it. We made appointment and he rewired it and had the tail light functioning 100%. If you need electrical work done on you car, Wayne is your guy! read more

Wayne's is THE BEST Auto Electrician on island! If you want your car fixed quickly at a reasonable and honest price, Go To Wayne's!!!!! Don't even think of going to another auto electrician, just go to Wayne's!!!!! My truck was a mess. Brake lights staying on even after the engine was off and the key was out. Radio not working. Blinkers not working. Dash lights not coming on. Jarrett @ Wayne's replaced the fuse box and within 24 hours I was back on the road and a happy guy!!!!! Mahalo Jarrett!!!!! read more

Always a professional repair; never a surprise. This time it was a starter replacement. Wayne's is also very good at diagnosing elusive electrical gremlins. read more

I randomly went to Wayne's because my car wouldn't start and it was the closest shop. I can't tell you how lucky I was to have broken down near there. I knew it was an electrical problem so they offered to check and recharge my battery for free. When they figured out that the problem was my alternator, they fixed it on the spot even though it was Saturday close to closing. Nice people; car's still running fine. Can't give it 5 stars because it's only been a day so the test of time is incomplete. read more

Arrogant lady on the phone. Said that they couldn't do my car without even taking a look. Then a guy says that they can take a look. Then she says that they have no time and can't leave the car. I asked for a referral to another place, she said NO that they are the only ones around!?! Need to get their story straight and treat the customer properly without sassy attitude. read more

The customer service at Wayne's is the best I've ever experienced from an automotive shop. Gary listened carefully to my explanation of my car problem and politely thanked me. The price was reasonable for the work that was done. I recommend Wayne's and will return to them in the future. They open early (6:30 a.m.) which is nice, allowing time to get to work on time. read more

Highly recommended. 2 other mechanics told me they had no idea what was wrong with my car, and told me it could be hours of labor to figure it out. Found Wayne's based on Yelp, and jarret figured it out in less than an hour, and had my car done by the end of the day. It was also a great price compared to other quotes, and he gave me advice on my specific cars maintenance. Very friendly, fast, and accurate service, I will be back if I ever have any other issues. read more

Based on the reviews here, I just called them. The lady who answered was rude, cutting me off mid-sentence. She then hands the phone off to someone else and I can hear her saying "I think you should take this one". Very unprofessional. Maybe the electrical-side of the business is great, but the receptionist is not. read more
