    "Before" part of the damage from an evil pillar.
    Michelle S.

    Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I contacted Cab Auto for a quote. I'll skip the details, but if you're looking for the fastest responses I've ever had from a body shop, fantastic work done in record time AND a great price, give Cue and Mr. Choi a call! The folks at Cab Auto got my car back to me on Friday (instead of Tuesday...holiday Monday), it was washed, looked good as new, and cost as much as my insurance deductible would have cost me! Also, best communication ever! I got text updates from Cue and he even included photos. So glad I found them and will tell anyone looking for a body shop to check out Cab Auto!

    Watch out for these scammers!!! They contracted me to repair a vehicle i came did a assessment and gave a repair estimate. I disassembled the vehicle finding further damage. After completing disassembly I requested the deposit agreed upon to purchase parts. The owner complained about the parts being to expensive and asked me to repair the vehicle with used junkyard parts. I refused and requested the agreed upon deposit amount for new parts I estimated and sourced at cost no markup. I also requested our labor fee for the disassembly cab auto refused. Cab auto refused pay for the parts or the labor. Do ot do business with this company they are very shady and do not honor their business deals!!! Would you be comfortable with them charging you full price for junkyard parts.

    Rear latch left completely exposed.

    Terrible service. Took months to wait for parts after they "got lost in transit". Rude manager/owner and unintelligent. Awful at communication and does not know how to be rational. After everything was complete 2 months later I picked up my car and asked them if they could make me a little feel better about what I paid for the work they did. They gave me some money back but no reassurance, no empathy, and no intelligence. On top of it all they didn't even fix the part correctly. I would recommend going elsewhere unless this is your only option. Two months for a project that should've been done within a couple days after parts.

    Cab Auto made a bad experience turn positive. I recommend them highly. Here is what happened. First, may you never experience a self-inflicted car accident like I did. It was a manic Monday this week and a split second lapse of judgment caused me to take a turn out of a garage too sharply, resulting in that awful concrete scraping the metal and paint off my rear passenger door and quarter panel. I turned to Yelp to seek auto body companies available for appointments for estimates. A few responded, but Cab Auto replied quickly and offered an appointment the next day (Tuesday). I took my car to three different auto body shops, but at Cab Auto, I met with Cue Lee and Mr Choi, the owner of the shop and they explained what needed to be done, and issued me an estimate on the spot. They offered a cash price and credit card price (which includes tax and 3% fee to cover the change card merchant fee). They estimated the repair would take 3-4 days. By the end of the day, I decided to give Cab Auto the job and Cue confirmed accepting my car the next morning (Wednesday). I was concerned about leaving my car at the shop over the weekend if they needed a 4th day and they assured me they would work on it so that it would be done by Friday afternoon (3 days). To my pleasant surprise, by midday on day 1 Cue had already finished the body work and texted me the progress and photo. I was so impressed with that! He said he would work on the painting the next day. The next day before 2pm, Cue texted me again with another photo of my car saying that my car would be ready to pick up in a couple hours! I was in complete disbelief and was so pleased they completed this job in just 2 days. When I picked up the car, I was very impressed with the finished repair. The scratches and dents were repaired flawlessly with the paint blended and applied perfectly. Cue also wiped down my seats and cleaned the exterior to ensure my car was delivered in a condition I would feel great about. Cab Auto is also conveniently located near the airport where I could easily catch an Uber to rent a car while my car was being repaired. And thanks for Cab Auto's swift and quality job, I was able to save some money on extra days of car rental. I will never consider an auto body shop other than Cab Auto because: - on the spot estimate (another body shop took as long to get me an estimate as Cab Auto took to complete the job!) - best price compared to other body shops - can accommodate insurance claims or out of pocket repairs - discounted price for cash payment vs credit card payment - they won't inflate the amount of time they hold on to your car - they will try to meet your requested timeframes - they have the staff to work on your car (other shops said they couldn't take my car for about 2 weeks and that they had people on vacation) - it's a small shop and they're very attentive - they under-promise and over-deliver: my car was finished in half the time that they initially quoted - timely and effective communication and progress reports via text messaging - responsive on Yelp and texting - quality, impressive workmanship - wiped and cleaned the car before delivery - very friendly and appreciative of every customer Thank you Cue and Mr Choi!

    Great customer service. Honest pricing. Very friendly and Helpful, went beyond what I asked for, and did a great job on my Prius.

    The scratch was deep so it was sanded, filled then the entire bumper repainted.
    Robert M.

    To repaint a scratch on my bumper came back with quotes upwards of $1200. Cue from CAB Auto quoted something way more reasonable and was very responsive to my inquiries. Highly recommended.

    Trunk and spoiler repair. Amazing work, quick fix time and fair pricing. Customer service was excellent. Much mahalos

    I would definitely recommend Cabb Auto to do repairs and body shop to anyone on this Island of Oahu. Cue and his staff did a great job on my son's 2022 Honda Civic. Their so awesome, They really care a lot about their customers. Their very quick when you bring your car in . They get right on the job No time to waste. Iam satisfied with Cabb Auto. Cabb Auto#1

Thankfully, they weren't too far away. When I arrived, the gentleman immediately welcomed me, pulled my van into the shop, and started diagnosing the issue. The customer service I received was exceptional, and I truly appreciate how helpful and accommodating they were. I'm looking forward to having them service my vehicle and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for honest and great customer service. I also want to add that while my van was being diagnosed, the gentleman noticed my coolant was low and took the time to add more coolant for me. I truly appreciate that extra step. It showed me that they genuinely care about their customers and are willing to help beyond just the service they're providing. Small acts like that really stand out and mean a lot. Thank you for your kindness and for going above and beyond. I wanted to come back and update my review now that everything has been completed. I picked up my van, and the AC is working great! The repair was completed, and I'm very happy with the results. The final price was reasonable for the amount of labor involved, and I appreciate the work that was done. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and look forward to bringing my van here again for future repairs and maintenance. Thank you, Auto Papa, for getting my AC back up and running!

    I had a paint job for my Versa, and the shop removed the letters and car insignia on the trunk door…read moreof the station wagon. They replaced the large insignia, but they said that I would have to put back the small letters myself. Also while cleaning the car for an inspection, in addition to finding the small letters for the trunk door, I found water in my wheel well for the spare tire in the trunk. I told them that they forgot to reattach the other end of a plastic tube that ran rain water in the trunk door top right corner. They said that they don't detach that. But they had detached the rubber foam seal on trunk door when they painted the car. The seal is in the same area of the door as the plastic tube. If I had known ahead of time about the small letters, I might not have gotten the work done there. Usually shops will replace whatever they took off the car, and not leave everything inside the car for the owner to put back. To be fair, they did put back some of the stuff I found in the car after I picked up the car- like the car insignia, the rubber foam seal on the trunk door.

    So after negotiating a drop off date (16 May) to get my truck repainted, it took 11 days to start…read moreworking on it. 27 May. It was finished and ready for pick up on 6 June. I was off island until that evening. They were closed 7 June and I picked it up 8 June. The repainted color I am satisfied with but the detail work was mediocre at best. There is a ton of overspray on the rubber around the windows and rear view mirrors. Additionally, there are already a few chips in the paint in a few spots which will be a problem in the near future. This has been months of frustration. I am now just over it and will not return to this establishment again for paint work. I will say that the manager was apologetic about the delays due to staffing issues but honestly due to the way this was handled initially, I should have been a top priority and more detail and attention should have been given to my vehicle. In the manager's defense, he did take matters into his hands and conducted a majority of the work himself and I am appreciative of that. I have spent the last 2 hours attempting to clean up the overspray and it will take me several more to get it all removed. Overall , I wish this would have been handled better but you live and you learn. Again, I am satisfied with the color but not the delays in service nor the level of attention to detail. I paid a pretty penny for my vehicle and the paint job was not cheap. The expectations were high but not met. This is my honest assessment and I have no hard feelings towards the establishment nor the folks I have dealt with during this process. Mahalo!

    I normally don't leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience…read more Our 2011 Toyota RAV4 has been at Encore Collision since October 2025 for repairs. Over several months, we were repeatedly told that work was in progress, parts were on order, or that the vehicle was nearing completion. It's March 31, 2026 and it is still not finished. However, during multiple in-person visits, there has been little to no visible progress. Communication has been inconsistent, and there were times we arrived during business hours and no one was available. We understand that delays can happen, but the lack of transparency and follow-through has been extremely frustrating and completely unacceptable. We also observed signage indicating BBB accreditation; however, the BBB website currently lists this business as not accredited, which was confusing and concerning. At this point, we have had to escalate the matter in order to seek resolution. We hope this can still be resolved professionally, but based on our experience, we would strongly advise others to proceed with caution as there are many red flags despite the positive reviews.

We needed to get that fixed along with the bumper. We took it to Encore and they quoted us $3700. A few days later they called and said that it would be another $400 for a part. Two days later they said that it would be another $200. When we finally went to pick up the car we saw that the bumper was fixed. They also fixed some other things in the front, since it was pushed back. When I inquired about the fix for the anti-freeze the guy had no idea what I was talking about. We had a new bottle of anti-freeze in the trunk and they put it in the car for us. It didn't leak out, which was a good sign. We drove it to Costco a block down and saw that all the anti-freeze was leaking out. We called the guy and dropped the car off again. He called the next day and said it would cost $800 to fix the anti-freeze leak. A day later he called and said it would be another $400 to fix the inverter. All in all, the hubby paid around $6000 for something they quoted as $3700. That plus the fact that they had our car for over three weeks. When we finally picked up the car they did give us a complimentary car wash, which we appreciated. We've had the car back for four days now and thankfully it's running smoothly.

    Background story: Got into an accident where the other…read moredriver was at fault. Insurance told me to get a quote at another auto body shop for the repairs (rear bumper detached, wiring for reverse sensors detached, rear leg quarter panel above the tire dented and scratched). That shop quoted me about $8K for all the repairs! FYI, I have a 2013 elantra. Insurance deemed my vehicle to be a "total loss" because the amount of the repairs was about the same cost of the vehicle's value. So my choices were to give up my vehicle which still worked perfectly fine despite missing a rear bumper, and then recruited a check for the vehicle's value...or keep the vehicle and receive a smaller check and find an autobody shop that could fix the damages for cheaper than the initial quote by the first autobody shop. A friend recommended Mapunapuna Auto Body and I also checked out their limited reviews on yelp, yes I trust my fellow yelp users! Then I decided to check em out! Ben (the owner) quoted me right under $2 grand, which was a fourth of the initial auto body shop's estimate. I couldn't believe it and thought it was too good to be true. Despite this low number, I said let's do it! Let's just say after visiting a few times (not just one and done) for the repairs, Ben did great work and even took out a scratch on my door that had been bothering me for years but didn't get around to fixing. I'll definitely be back for Ben's assistance in any future car repairs and have recommended his shop to my friends and family already. By the way, cash is king here. IYKYK. Bottom line: Ben goes above and beyond for a very reasonable price. See the photos for proof. Not paid to give this honest review but rather have him gain more business so that he may thrive and continue his excellent work for many years to come.

The person who did my assessment took my $1,000 deductible payment and said it would take about three months before someone would call me from their Mapunapuna location where they did all the Tesla repairs. The Unibody assessor at this Kakaako location said there were only a few shops in town which specialized in Tesla repairs so there was a fairly long wait to get the cars in but I could check around if I was unsatisfied with the wait duration. My only concern was that I only had one headlight and that I would be pulled over and cited for reduced illumination. I actually only had to wait about two months and dropped my car off at the Mapunapuna location before a trip and got my car back a few days after I returned. Their coordination with my insurance company, intake service, communication on repair status, and pickup notification were top notch. Their repair service and attention to detail are also great. Recommended without any reservations.
