A warning. Please save your money and do not do business with Autocomp Tech Hawaii LLC and its owner Ron. I had a very bad recent experience with the owner Ron and found him to be a lying, rude, deceptive, unprofessional, insincere person with questionable business practices. I took my car first to LEX Brodie in Pearl City as there were flashing memory codes on the dashboard and I needed to get my car up to standard in order to pass the safety check. Unbeknownst to me, Lex Brodie already did a diagnosis on my car, but did not turn off the faulty memory codes. Also, the diagnosis by LEX BRODIE was in a number code, so I did not know what those numbers meant. Meanwhile, I was referred by someone at LEX BRODIE to Autocomp and Ron said that he could help FIX or TURN OFF the faulty memory codes. I was then expecting Ron to turn off the faulty codes long enough for me to pass my safety check. Ron came over to me house and performed the exact same diagnosis as LEX BRODIE did, however, Ron did not turn off the faulty memory codes as he had promised. For this duplicate service Ron charged me $150, which I payed. Later, I called LEX BRODIE and discovered what a snake Ron was in charging me for a duplicate service that was already done. As the owner of Autocomp Teach LLC, and a person claiming to be knowledgeable in auto coding, I am sure Ron knew ahead of time that he was about to perform a duplicate service, but he was greedy to make money at my expense and did not explain this to me. I called Ron and asked for my money back, which he refused. Instead Ron cashed my check and money is tight for us as a family of five. A proper person, concerned with doing things the correct way, would have returned my money, or at least part of my money. When I told Ron that I was unhappy with how he treated me, he added insult to injury by insulting me on the phone and called me a "wreck". So again, please do not give AutoComp Tech Hawaii LLC your business, unless you want to be lied to, insulted, and swindled out of your hard earned money by the owner Ron! read more

I couldn't get my 1997 truck through safety check until I got the odometer fixed. I thought it was done for but it's a fine truck. All the stuff that makes it safe works. So a neighbor who has a auto parts store sent me a text of the business card for Auto Comp Tech and it was fixed within days. read more

To preface this review, I will only state what happened/said and no opinions. I burnt my PCM on my GM vehicle (I only drive 1x every 2 months) after trying to jump start my vehicle on the side of a freeway on-ramp. Went to Napa in Waipahu to purchase a replacement and the store associate recommended Autocomp Tech to program. My vehicle started up and ran but suboptimal so I decided to reach out to Ron from Autocomp Tech for proper installation of the required GM V92 .bin file. Date of appointment: Ron called me to say he was running 2 hrs late because he was going through problems at his current appointment. I said no problem since I am a business owner and the car was parked at my warehouse and I could just do more work in my office. Upon Rons arrival, I informed him where to park as my yard gets busy with tractor trailers and showed him the vehicle needing to be programmed. Three of my employees ended their shift and was just hanging out where the car was stored and witnessed this whole ordeal. Ron aggressively asked for cash payment three times during the brief conversation we had, while he was taking phone calls, before he started programming. I took it as he thought I didn't have money so I told him "don't worry man, I have money. Let me get it from my other car" he then responded "trust me, I have more money than you". My employees looked at me shocked and in disbelief. I responded by just saying "okay" and proceeded to my other car to get him his cash, paid him, and told him that I needed to go back in my office to take a call. My call only lasted less than 10 minutes when one of my employees informed me that Ron was done. I was amazed how quickly it was done, went outside, started the car briefly and shut it off. Ron informed me that he downloaded the latest map from a GM website and installed it but didn't start the vehicle, and went on his way. My employees came to me after Ron left to inform me that Ron was on the phone the entire time I was away on my phone call, they were watching him, and did not connect his computer to my car. I was in disbelief that Ron would do this so I disregarded it. One week after the appointment: I drove the car home over the weekend and the car ran really rich and the AC didn't work. So, I decided to send it to my mechanic and he troubleshooted everything including traced every wire in the engine harness, under the dash, and PCM. He found everything working as it should and resistance was good with the exception of one wire that sends a signal to the climate control. So, I decided to do my own research, purchase the necessary cables, and program to do it myself. 1.5 months later: I acquired everything I needed to program the PCM myself, programmed the PCM with the correct .bin file, and voila EVERYTHING works as it should. Today: I called Ron up to ask what he previously did when I paid for his service. He said that he: 1. Took my vin number and loaded up to "the GM website" 2. Downloaded and installed the latest file to my vehicle He then proceeded to blame the refurbished PCM I purchased from Napa and said all he does is calibration, updating software, and continued on to say that he knows all the mechanics on the island and all the new ASE Master Techs don't know what they're doing because "90% of them are part changers" and don't know how to troubleshoot. If you know how to install PC programs, know which cable(s) you need to connect to your vehicle and PC, research and download the right .bin file for your OBD1 or OBD2 vehicle then you can easily do it yourself. If you can't do this, I HIGHLY recommend sending your ECU/PCM to the mainland, search for a reputable service online, because they actually know what they are doing and only charge 1/2 the cost ($130) of what Ron charges.

ECU has been patched not fixed The guy says! whoever rebuilt did junk job and now 600 to redo everything Ron did!! read more

I've never wrote a review about any company or any employee of a company until now....Ron went above and beyond anything I could have ever asked for. I was in a bad spot and he spent time he did not have to in order to help me out. If you go any place else for diagnostic or electric work you're crazy. So thankful read more

I had my computer fixed for my 2008 Lexus by Autocomp. They offer great customer support and fast turn around. Autocomp got me back on the road the next day with fast reliable service. Also,the best part of dealing with Autocomp is the computer module only cost half the price of what I would have paid at the dealer. I would definetly recomend this company to a friend. read more
