“I bought a 2019 Jeep at Kama’aina Motors and had the most amazing salesman, Ed Delacruz, to assist me with the selection! I’m female and have bought several used vehicles in my life. In my opinion, it’s practical and more economical than buying a new vehicle (which seems to lose an immediate $15K value as soon as it leaves the lot). Ed Delacruz was kind, intelligent, and a local Hawaiian resident who understood exactly what I wanted and guided me properly throughout the entire process. He even drove with me to the top of Mauna Kea from Hilo to make sure the vehicle made it up and down the mountain and had the power I needed. As most locals know, the top of Mauna Kea is around 14,000 feet at a pretty steep incline. The vehicle operated perfectly. Ed said I was on his personal record for the longest test drive?. He was fun to work with! My experience was very positive purchasing this vehicle (it only took a few hours to purchase and negotiations were very easy).
If you need a vehicle, i highly recommend you go through Ed DelaCruz as your salesman at Kama’aina Motors. He’s completely transparent and will always answer your questions or find the answer. It should be noted he was highly recommended to me by my police partner at the Hawaii Police Department because of his , honesty, experience, and character. Check him out at Kama’aina Motors. He’s very tenacious and won’t give up finding the best vehicle for your needs.”
“I had an outstanding experience at Aiona Car Dealership thanks to Mark and Pat, whose great attitudes and professionalism made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Their no pressure approach and genuine helpfulness set them apart, making this the best car dealership I’ve ever dealt with. From start to finish, everything was seamless truly top notch customer service! We contacted via text message majority of the time mark was quick with his response and everything was straight forward. He had the paper work ready to go upon arrival! Very accommodating as well!! He knows his stuff and exactly what he’s doing. The ZERO down isn’t a scam like other dealerships I’ve visited (&& on a TESLA) where do you get that? . It’s REAL over here at Aiona! I truly would recommend them to ANYONE in the market for a car looking to get a honest experience and fair price! Thank you guys!!”
“This place was amazing! They really went out of their way to help out and gave my wife an amazing deal on a really nice car. I literally cannot recommend this place enough.”
“My family can’t thank Craig enough for our beautiful car! We drove from Kona to Hilo and it was so worth it. We just took the car for an oil change and the mechanic mentioned the car was so well maintained over the years! He actually couldn’t believe it. No issues with the used car and new tires on it. Worked with us even with not so good credit. Absolutely would recommend!”
“A 5 star Thank you! We were out of town with a rental car and we got a flat tire. We limped the car into their parking lot and while on the phone with the rental company the kind staff at Ponos offered to fix the tire free of charge. Within a few minutes they got the tire all patched up and got us back on the road and enjoying our trip saving us time and money. If I was ever in Hawaii and needed a used car I would shop at Ponos. Thanks again for your kindness today!!”

“*Update: small issue, They stood by us without hesitation. I'd give another star if I could.*I was desperate for wheels. S & D were awesome, and we drove away happy as clams! Super friendly, love em!”
“I had a great experience purchasing my car here. Lahi answered all of my questions, took time to compare features of a couple of different models and led me through the whole experience from start to finish with ease. The finance department was great too. Thanks for the service!”
“Brandon was really easy to talk to. This was my first time getting a truck and he made sure that I got a good deal and made sure that I understood everything I’m grateful for all the help that he helped me with a really kind and generous guy”
