    I came here cause hubby recommended them. They take walk ins as well as appointments. I came today at around 8 am to get a safety check. My sticker expires at the end of March and today was a good day to do it since I am off from work. Hubby directed me here. It's located behind a gated area. I guess the guy wasn't there as we entered. We didn't need a ticket and just drove straight through. It's in a garage type business behind some buildings. The guy told us to drive the car in. The safety check was $25. It was quick and easy. All you need to show is current registration and current insurance. Not bad. He had other cars in there for other reasons. The guy helping us was super nice and managed to get us in and out. I highly recommend this location for safety checks.

    Great place to take your vehicle to get repairs, maintenance and safety checks done. It's a little tricky to find. Just ask the guard at the booth on 501 Sumner Street. They will give you a ticket to give to Yama's to get a validation stamp Drive straight towards the fence turning left pass the 1st auto shop keep driving down Peets Alley then half way on the left you will find Yama's. Park outside and go inside to get assistance. Appointments are greatly appreciated but they do accommodate walk-ins. As in my case...I needed to get a safety check done on my vehicle since it will expire at the end of this month. I figured it's still early in the month and I arrived there at 8am. They were already open and only a few customers were ahead of me. I was in and out pretty quickly and it only cost me $25.00...Will be definitely returning next year for my Safety Check

    Great customer service! It's hard to find, even with GPS... but keep going. Right off street down from Cannery. Get to 501 Sumner and enter past small booth and go completely around parking lot to other side where you will see a fence with Costco on the other side.

    Since your reply is filled with inaccuracies, let me tell what actually happened…read more I brought my car in for a steering issue on my Lexus. I agree that I did take it to a friend's shop first and he checked into the issue. He wasn't able to help because he was going out of town. When I initially contacted Neue Auto, I was told that you fixed all kinds of steering systems. My Lexus has an electronic control unit for the power steering, not a hydraulic one, like most cars. I asked specifically if this is something that you were able to do...when I initially called and when I dropped the car off. That was a SPECIFIC question. Both times I was assured that you were familiar. A whole day went by and no callback. I was told that it would take a few hours to investigate the issue and after repeatedly calling for an update, I was told that at 5pm my car was still being worked on. No callback by 6p so I DROVE down there in my other car only to find the shop locked up. It was the weekend and I did without my car and without any update. I was cool about it and Alvin finally contacted me after I left a message on Monday morning. I was NOT informed that you would not be able to perform the "calibration and [potential] programming." If this was the case and you didn't have the tools to complete the job, why in the world wouldn't I take it straight to Lexus? Let me be clear...you had the car for 3 weeks...THREE Weeks and nothing was being done. Alvin kept telling me he was trying to get in contact with someone at Lexus and get the inside on how to fix it. I got my car out of there because Alvin said you were waiting on someone trying to get a "workaround" for the programming? I have text messages and voicemails about this. Needless to say, the car was unfixed. When I picked up my car, it was FILTHY...there was dirt IN my car and the whole car was dirty. My car is my baby and it has never seen a day that it was that dirty. Alvin pulled the car out and I got in and drove 1/2 a mile before realizing the needle on the gas tank was BELOW "E." I also noticed this huge gash in my dash. That was NOT there before. I went straight to the gas station and had to fill my tank and I called Alvin about the gash. He flat out denied it and went on the defensive. I just threw my hands up and didn't argue. AT NO TIME DID I ASK for any sort of compensation. NONE! I asked for acknowledgement but he just denied it right off. I have the text of that too. I buy local to support, but given your reply, without even having a conversation with me throughout this whole 3 week ordeal, it's clear you have blind loyalty to your workers that allows you to create this false narrative often a customer who just plunked down $2600 for NOTHING. My car was the SAME as when I drove it in. AUWE!! Sidenote: Took my car in to Lexus the following Monday and it was done in 3 days. When I got my car from Neue, I asked for notes on what was done and what else needed to be done. I also asked if they could give me their Lexus contact so that that person could provide any information to the repairman at Lexus. When I picked up my car, the advisor said that the part changed by Neue was unlikely to have been necessary at all. This was a HUGE, EXPENSIVE lesson learned to do my due diligence in competency!

He is knowledgeable, dependable, honest, and very trustworthy, all qualities that are so important when you're dealing with car repairs. Richard took the time to explain what was going on with our vehicle and what needed to be done, without ever making us feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. We also really appreciated the convenience of having a skilled mechanic come directly to us instead of having to drop off the car and arrange transportation to pick it up later. That alone saved us a lot of time and hassle. Another big plus was the price. We received three other quotes for the same job, and Richard's price was lower than all of them. Getting excellent work at a very fair price made the experience even better. It's not always easy to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but Richard is definitely one of them. We wouldn't hesitate to use 808 MOBILE Auto Repair again and would gladly recommend Richard to our family and friends.

He took the time to explain each step and was completely transparent about the work and the challenges he encountered.

If I could I would give them a 0. 2 and a half years ago, I took my car to Pearl City Auto Works for a brake job. It cost me almost $5k to do it. Now they told me I gotta spend another $2400 to fix the same problem. My other half and I talked business with the owner's daughter Shay Nakamura about the situation and asked certain questions and she couldn't give any feedback to the situation at hand. She tried to give me a discount, but I don't think it was enough, considering I know for a fact they are charging me 3-4x the actual cost for the parts and then will eventually get more money back because of the cores. I text the number they text me with explaining my situation and there were no response. 2 phone numbers they text me from I left a text message, no response. That right there shows me that that they have poor communication skills. Communication was done with text. To be honest, I prefer real conversation with a person/company. I believe that they either did a poor job 2 and a half years ago or the quality of parts they used suck!! I got ripped off the first time and they tried to do that again the second time around. NEVER again will I do business with them!!
