“Exhaust System Hawaii (Kailua) is very responsive, professional, and efficient. Hard to find these days but this is an old fashion, honest shop, won't charge you for something you don't need or upsell in anyway.
I called a little after they opened to explain my situation on a potential exhaust leak w/ smell in the cabin. Roland was able to schedule me for an 11:00am inspection, same day (during Christmas week, WOW). No wait time when I got there. He was very knowledgeable and showed me my exhaust system underneath the car while searching for the leak. I appreciate his patience and explanation. Would return here for future work.”
“Went to get my cars differential check. He was able to diagnostic the problem in a shortly matter. He also gave me advice regarding the differential whenever to get it repaired at the dealership or not.”
“Kirby is the best. I was a Technician all my life until a bad injury made me stop turning wrenches. Any Technician will tell you they won't let anyone but themselves work on their vehicles period. This is the reason for this review, Kirby is the only one that does work for me on our vehicles because he takes pride in workmanship, is truthful, honest and will explain to his Customers what his diagnosis is what part has failed and recommend any other items that needs attention. He is a Master Technician and comes to your house or work and gets your vehicle back in top shape. Excellent repair cost that I would expect to be much higher for the quality of work he does. Contact Wherever Auto and guaranteed you just found your lifetime Technician. To bad there is only a 5 star rating because Kirby is a solid 10.”
“Super grateful for their help in a stressful situation! All the people I interacted with who work there were very kind & helpful. The only mechanic shop that would let me tow my car there on such short notice. Mahalo Nui 🤙🏽”
“My 1979 Super Beetle would not start and I had it towed to Nikola's Auto Center for repairs. My car was diagnosed to have a bad battery which was a surprise to me as I thought it was related to the starter and solenoid switch. Nickola told me that my Napa battery was still on warranty and could be replaced. I got the battery replaced for free by Napa and returned it to Nikola's to complete the rest of the work (brake checks and fuel tank leak determination). Nikola's completed all of the work I requested in a very reasonable time and performed the work withing my budget. I am a very satisfied customer and highly recommend Nikola's Auto Center for classic cars. Nikola and Egon were both very helpful and worked me to perform their work and answer all of my questions.”
“Matt is a fantastic mechanic and a very nice person to talk with. He knows a lot about cars (especially the European ones!) and you can feel how he really likes them and their care. He speaks clearly about the issues of your vehicle and 99% of times he solves your problem. Autoworks has been in several occasions my big helper for a safe drive.”
“Damon recommended a good tire for my situation, considering my driving habits since I had to replace only one tire. No overselling.
Ken installed and rotated the tires and added one missing screw on the undercarriage protector that I brought because I missed it during my DIY installation of bike rack:)
Thanks for the friendly honest service! If you need air they’ll fill for free too.”
“Excellent local shop that I can't recommend enough. Did a really good job replacing the brake actuator assembly on my 2012 Prius for a reasonable price (brought my own parts, but was still much cheaper than going to the dealership). Service was excellent and communication was prompt and transparent. Very pleased and will use them again.”
“Ken walked me through the repair, explained everything and went the extra bit to make sure my fuel pump worked, fixed the wires and replaced the lines that were old.”
“Best shop on Oahu hands down. Tony’s is always fair and honest, tells you what to fix and what to skip. Has done all kinds of work on my old Honda van and has always been able to help out last minute, get things done quick and keep my Keiki safe.”
“I had a fantastic experience at Faith Collision, in fact, probably the best on-island auto body shop I've experienced thus far. David was communicative, willing to educate us about car car and importantly: rust prevention, and delivered our car back looking brand new in a relatively short amount of time. I was really impressed with their work and work ethic. I highly recommend this shop for car repairs on the Windward side and island-wide. Mahalo!”
“The national brands for auto service & tires make it so frustratingly difficult to get a safety check appointment. Searched online and called Tenn's and they gave me a time the same day! Mahalo!”
“Got safety check there. Quick and painless. You get an actual appointment where they do the inspection not "drop it off and we'll get to it sometime today". Friendly local place.”
“Just had Rob over this morning and he turned my fears of having to pay a $1000 for a run-in with a parking garage wall into a much more reasonably priced repair alternative. I recommend him very highly if you're in need of some good bodywork. And he comes to your house!”
“Mahalo to the Jesy and her staff!! They were able to fit me into their schedule to replace 2 tires. They had it done in a couple of hours as promised. Even with everyone coming in because of the Kona Low storms we were having. They even let me stay to finish watching my basketball game when they were done. Thank you. I really appreciated it.”
“I called on a Saturday, they answered the phone promptly. They did not stock the part I needed, but he put in a very good effort researching it. That's more than I can say for the other Oahu Ford Dealers.”
“The entire purchasing experience was easy and stress free. Josh from the Sales department was exceptional. He provided detailed information, ensured he understood what was important to me and kept me informed throughout the process. My vehicle was ready and the pickup process was very smooth.”
“Corey is the best! He has kept my car running great, he replaced my rear struts and has done other maintenance always making sure the costs aren't too crazy for me. I wouldn't go to anyone else.”
“I needed a safety inspection by the end of the month, but everyone was booked out for weeks. I found out that several places in the Kailua/Kaneohe area either lost their inspectors or their license so make sure you book way in advance! Luckily the guys at Texaco 'Aikahi offered to keep my car on the lot for a 'work in'. Long story short, they did my inspection within 24 hours. I even received the call after my working hours - I'm a teacher - so that I wouldn't have to interrupt my time with my students. How thoughtful. Mahalo nui loa, Texaco 'Aikahi.”
“The Firestone team was completely accommodating to a last minute request to get a CVI completed. We came in for an appointment and explained that we were on a time crunch and the technician Kyle was more than helpful in prioritizing us. Huge shout out to him!”

“Every time I come here, the staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. I’ve been able to learn and do a lot myself, including changing my oil, brakes, and even my bumpers. I’ve also used their services for things like tire changes. Whether you’re working on your own vehicle, having them handle it, or just coming in for a safety check, they’re consistently helpful. As someone who isn’t very experienced, I’ve learned a lot from them and their prices are very reasonable.”
“Had an unexpected issue with my vehicle and no appointment scheduled, but the team here worked me in anyway. They diagnosed the problem quickly and had everything resolved by midday. Really appreciated the flexibility and quick turnaround — made a stressful situation a lot easier. Highly recommend if you need reliable, accommodating service.”
