I had issues with my 2013 Toyota Tacoma air conditioning was blowing warm air. Took it to the dealership to get an estimate and was extremely high! Got a second opinion and estimate from Mike and his staff and was diagnosed with the same problem. The best thing was Mike's repair would save me much more money then I was expected to pay.He was accurate and disclosed the cost which would not be cheap but much more cheaper than if I took it to another professional in his field. He also was quick and efficient to complete the work task by the end of the day, and waited for me since I finished work later then the time he usually closes.I really give Mike's A/C auto repair a 5 stars for Quality work, and value for your buck, when every penny counts to make ends meet! Job well done Mike 5Stars.

Mike has been my "go to guy" for repair work for many years. He has helped me with not only AC repairs, but other mechanical and electrical issues I've had (Saturn Vue, Volkswagen Passat, Toyota Camry, Honda CR-V). I keep going back and recommending his shop to my friends and co-workers simply because he's honest, does great work, and is very reasonable with pricing. If you are looking for a great trustworthy mechanic, I highly recommend Mike and his team.

My wife Jessica's Nissan Rogue's AC broke & we called Mike's. Mike answered the phone & instantly welcomed us to his shop. Minutes later, Mike quickly accessed the issue (one part: compressor, which was very reasonable) & gave us a 4-5 hour window. I took the really short walk to McDonald's around the corner & waited in their cold AC for its duration. When it was done (after 5 hours), I drove off in very cold AC! Mike & his crew are really friendly & accommodating. Not to mention that the military & teachers get a 10% discount. Mike's AC & Auto Repair come highly, highly recommended. Thank you so much, Mike & crew!

We went to see Mike over 4 years ago. Battery and A/C issues with our Forester. Mike was friendly and always aimed for a cost-efficient solution. We went several times - always serviced the right way. We drive a new car now so haven’t had to go in, but if your car is over 5 years old, things do break down and his shop is the place to go, esp. for A/C but even minor repairs or maintenance. Highly trusted and expert. Mahalo Mike! Long overdue review.

Mike and crew are magicians! Two mechanics before them could not fix my AC. Actually nobody else could even find the leak! Mike found it instantly and told me the part I needed, and didn't even charged a diagnostic fee! My car is JDM so I needed to source the part myself and have it shipped from Japan. But Mike installed it so fast and my AC blows ice cold for the first time in a year! The whole staff is super friendly and kind. It's like having your car worked on by a good friend. I can't recommend enough! 10 stars!

Mike did my air conditioner and I’m satisfied with quote and he is very professional. He will work with you and he is very honest

Brought in my truck to get the ac checked out after seeing all the good reviews. Did not disappoint, I would definitely recommend anyone who is having car ac issues to stop by. Even though my issue ended up requiring a costly repair which I chose to forgo, their workers were super helpful and gave me advice for how to make do with what I have.

If you came here after reading my Chik's Auto review, then you know the mess that happened there!Here though, at Mikes? 5 STARS! After the mess at Chik's, I hopped on Yelp to find an auto shop that could do ACs. Mike was at the top of the list, I called & he was able to take me in for diagnostic that same day. I went after work, it's a little tight on Homerule but I managed to squeeze into a spot. Mike came out & told me I could wait in the office. There's a few chairs, AC & TV. I hung out for maybe 45 minutes? He had another customer in front me, so I wasn't complaining since he did accommodate me so last minute. When he came back, he told me I had a hole in my high pressure valve hose & quoted me around $400ish. I asked if that was the only problem & he said yeah. (I even told me that I put Stop Leak before he did anything to see if it was gonna be a problem, obviously for him it wasn't!) I explained to him what happened at Chik's & let's just say, I WASN'T THE FIRST PERSON WHO THAT HAD HAPPENED TO THEM! Anyway, I asked when I could schedule an appointment to come back & he said to bring it back the next day after I get off. Perfect! I took it back the following day (Friday), and he said I could wait for it. So I did, again, someone else was there so it didn't bother me. About 2 hours in he came & told me something was wrong with a bolt & it was frozen & he would have to try to chip it off (I could totally be using the wrong words/terms but I think that's what he meant) & asked if I would be okay leaving the car. It was no problem for me, I called for a ride & left. He called me Saturday evening around 6pm & said the car was ready. I told him I wasn't anywhere near Kalihi & I wouldn't be able to pick up but could wait til he reopened, he ended up having to go in on Sunday to do some paperwork on his closed day & was kind enough to let me come pick up then. I went around 1ish on Sunday, paid a little over $400 & thanked him. He let me know that my engine bolts (again, I could totally be using the wrong terminology) would need to be changed soon, & that's the cause to the vibrating feeling in my car, to be honest I got so use to the slight vibration I thought it was normal LOL! For background information, my car is a 2012 KIA Sorento, with 73K miles, little I know haha! Also can I just add that my AC is freeakknnn IMMACULATE now! I use to have to give a few minutes to get cold & now it's cold seconds after I turn the car on & it's so cold I don't even have to blast it. If I do blast it after a hot day of being out, it's only for a few minutes & then I'm freezing cold. Good problems to have LOL. Overall, GREAT communication, QUICK turnaround, HONEST mechanic & very KNOWLEDGEABLE! I would recommend Mike to anyone needing AC fixes. I took my car in on Thursday for diagnostic, serviced Friday/Saturday, done Saturday evening & picked up Sunday!

It's hard finding a reliable and, key word, honest mechanic. That is until you take the time to work with Mike and his crew. I'm sure there's a shop you'd go back to over and over, a spot that says, there's no place like the gem you found and you've made a deal with yourself to look no further for that service. Well, plain and simple, this is it, this is the spot for your mechanic needs.For instance, Mike says your car will be done today and you find no matter what the time is, whether it be closing time, he's getting your car done that day, his word is bond. Or as another example, you need a specific part fixed but Mike finds another issue, he'll call you to confirm if you're wanting to move forward with the additional fix. It's these little things that make Mike and his crew a gem, THE shop that I'll always go back to.

We took our chevy tahoe to mike because we needed a new compressor. We didn't know how long it would take. Mike had a lot of cars and trucks being dropped off in the morning as well as other vehicles being picked up. We thought it would a couple of days before we would get our tahoe back but said you can pick it a little after lunch. We we amazed at the speed and service we got. Now our a/c is colder then before. Thanks again MIKE. YOU THE BEST!

Thank you very much Mike, for the great job that you did on my car.Couple of weeks ago, warm air was starting to blow out from my ac unit. I drove it to Mike's without an appointment. A couple of his guys came to me , made me wait in a waiting room for approximately 10 minutes came back and told me that my evaporator was out. They made me write my contact number and make and model of my vehicle and told me that they were going to call me back. Had a call the next day ,got a price for parts and labor and made an appointment. For those of you that don't know. To replace an evaporator core on a 2017 Mazda CX3 takes about fourteen hours. Mike did it in about 10 hrs which was about 2 days. Now I have cool air again and all is well. If you have Ac problems take it to Mike. You'll get the most honest and reasonable quote for the job. The pride and integrity that comes out of a little shop like this leaves in complete awe. All business's in Hawaii should follow Mike's example of doing business in Hawaii. Thanks again Mike. All the ac problems from my friends and family are coming to you. DO O MO ARIGATO.

So I was calling around trying to shop price only. After getting a quote from Mike's I hung up a little abruptly and this guy calls me back. No lie. He calls me back to explain exactly what I needed to ask for when I called around. The next week I made an appointment for 11:30 the morning of. Brah, the nicest guys you'd wanna meet. Coffee pot that brews individual cups. Fast service. My AC was super cold after and they charge me 25% less than my estimate. If you need car Ac work, these the guys you need to see.

Thank you so much to Mike! This man was so kind, friendly, and accommodating. I called Friday afternoon to see when i could get an appointment to get seen. He said i could come in Saturday whenever was best for me. I think i was there for less than ten minutes and he had got my AC back up. I'm so grateful for how quick the process was and how kind Mike was. I was referred by a friend who raved about there stellar service and she was not wrong. I will be referring my friends and any one who needs a shop recommendation. The one thing that was worrisome was how the street was pretty packed but the crew helped direct me on where to park.

I'm a little late but It's true what they say about Mike, his crew and his shop. He doesn't hustle you or add on things that needs to be fixed if it's not necessary. He fixes what needs to be fixed. I got my AC compressor replaced for an 2016 Audi Q5 and it was less than the estimate, especially at the other shop I initially got quoted from so it was such a relief! If you ever need a second opinion for your AC quotes, go to Mike's shop, he'll help you.

Located on Republican Street amidst industrial buildings and warehouses. Called for an oil change appointment and was told he could take me right away. Yes!While there I asked him to check my brakes and rotate my tires. No problem he said. He has a cosy air conditioned office with a few chairs and coffee. When I returned to get my car he had changed my oil but informed me my tires didn't need rotating because the good ones were in the front. And my brakes were still good. He's an honest guy and will not fix things not needing fixing. My oil change was priced about average but compared to the dealers he didn't try to upsell me with oh your radiator needs flushing, oh you may want to do your 600K mile service and so on. Honest guy. Good service.
