DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM CHOICE AUTO. You will thank me for giving you notice that this business is shady. They are fast talkers and fast sellers, over promising and not delivering. Right after I signed the papers and ready to drive off, the engine light turned on. The manager did a diagnostic and said car is safe to drive. Come back and we'll fix the issue. 2 months went by before they could fix. When they did, engine light came back on a month later but sorry, their 3 month warranty expired so nothing they could do! And the kicker was the car ac was so nice and cold - then 3 months later, ac blowing hot air. Sorry! 3 months later was up. 2 different managers telling different stories and texting you but never know who you're communicating with. Lesson learned. Choice??? Bad choice! Never again! read more

Wrote the below a few days ago with 3 stars however with some research I am rescinding those 3 stars because I found out this IS INDEED a statewide problem. The DMV is extremely backlogged. This is not Choice Autos fault. Well, cars great and the buying processes was great ... HOWEVER we somehow missed is that the safety inspection had expired 6 months prior to our purchase... and as of now, STILL no registration papers received. So here we are 3 months later, a 5k down and 2 payments processed (auto loan) but the car is still not in our name. Been pulled over twice already luckily they let us go without a ticket. Its un-nerving driving around a car with expired registration & safety. When we call they just say they are waiting on the state. HUH???? The cops said they should not be selling cars that safety & registration is not current. Last time we got pulled over a month ago car was still in old owners name. Unsure what to do at this point. read more

The shady characters at Choice sold us a vehicle recently which we paid cash for, and they told us they would handle the registration to which they have yet to produce. They never completed the transfer from the old owners for title and now on the registration , four months later they continually lie and blame it on the DMV. I have spoken with the DMV and they have assured me it is not them holding it up.. unless you want extreme frustration and don't like being lied to this is not the place to buy your vehicle! read more

Staff are very friendly and a good place to get a car. Would recommend to friends and family read more

Update as it's been a year and a month, ON GOD, I got ripped off. I look at other civics getting posted for 25-30K and they are newer with less miles or brand new, but my car was 36K and I put a $1000 down. I had good credit and a co-signer. I should've researched my car better before I signed bc it was only worth 25K on KBB at the time. Stuck with it for the next 5 1/2 years now, also within the month I bought the car I had 6 different error codes pop up while driving for my brake systems and a few others smh. Makes it real hard to want to trust buying from them again. read more

You looking for a vehicle come and check out Mikey and EZ their good here at choice auto. Quick and easy. Awesome THANK YOU

Got our car and didn't have front license plate. called them multiple times in the time span of 2 months before our safety expired and call again and was told that we have to get it ourselves cause of a communication issue they have with the dmv, very un-organized, not on it like they claim they are and we also had to wait 2 months for our registration to come in. Wouldn't recommend, don't waste your time. my auntys car broke down a month after getting 1 from them and they told her that it isn't their problem and for her to go shop to fix it. read more

My experience at Choice Automotive was absolutely exceptional, and Catie truly set the standard for what outstanding customer service should be. From the moment I walked in, she was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right vehicle. She took the time to really listen to my needs, worked thoughtfully within my financial situation, and made sure every detail was handled with care. I never once felt pressured -- only supported and respected throughout the entire process. Because of Catie's dedication and expertise, I was able to drive away in a vehicle that perfectly suits both me and my family. That level of service is rare. If you're going to Choice Automotive, do yourself a favor and ask for Catie. She delivers excellence. read more

Purchased our SUV in December 2024. Returned it the next day to get fixed because the alignment was off, the steering wheel was kept getting stuck like it was sticky and the breaks kept squeaking. When we took it back we were assured that it would be fixed no problem. We just got our car back TODAY! Multiple calls throughout the month of waiting where nobody that answered knew what was going on with the car (if it was being fixed or still waiting) up until last week when they told me the part had just came in and it'll be fixed by this week "hopefully". We just got home and I'm extremely disappointed. After pulling doubles at work all I wanted to do was come home and relax. When driving home it seems like nothing was fixed! The problems with the alignment seems a little better but not completely, the stickiness of the steering wheel is the exact same as it was when we dropped it off and now we have dents, scratches and dirt everywhere including inside!! Not to mention they left a huge bulky box in the trunk!! Unreal. They ask you to leave a 5 star review literally right after the purchase is made final. I'm just lost for choice words. read more

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP! I live on the BI of HI, Choice Automotive had a vehicle I was interested in. the vehicle was used, but I was told it drove great no problems By numerous Individuals including the management team. purchase the vehicle and had it shipped over. The vehicle has so many issues. Choice refused to honor the warranty, have paid over $4k trying to get the car fixed and it still is t fixed. Transmission is toast, brakes were so worn the repair shop doesn't even know how they were able to sell the vehicle to us, we were told all maintenance was performed and it was way over an oil change, etc. This dealership is AWFUL! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! We are beginning a lawsuit for bare minimum the warranty amount that was not honored! read more

Choice automotive is where to go. Schyler was very understanding with our circumstances but always kept a positive attitude. He made the process easy and went above and beyond. S/o to him and his manager for making us feel welcomed and making sure we go home with our car that is right for us. read more

Do not waste your time and money here! I bought a total lemon. I initially rated them 5 stars thinking I got a good deal, Boy, was I wrong! From the screw and nail in my tires to the engine problem and then now trying to get my refund on the unused extended warranty I had purchased. Long story short, I ended up trading in my van to a different car dealership and was totally upfront with them. The salesman was my cousin's friend and yes, I should've gone to him first but I didn't know she had connections. He was able to find what I wanted and I got a great deal on my next vehicle. I have now had my van for 5 months with no problems at all. As for CHOICE AUTOMOTIVE, I have attempted over 5 or 6 times since trading in my old van to get my refund with no response! You have no idea how much it is still a nightmare for me! read more

Catie was so easy to work with and made the whole experience smooth. She moved around a bunch of cars for us and took us on a test drive. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We were even working with some time constraints and she was able to make it all finish up by the time we needed! I'd recommend choice auto and Catie in particular! read more

To be transparent, I can't fully recommend them as I have not gone through the buying process with them. I did speak with Chris over the phone while shopping for a new car, he was very helpful and diligent in getting me answers to my general questions. They also had a text thread where a few reps reached out here and there, it wasn't super pushy (which I appreciate) and it stopped completely with a pleasant send-off from them when I informed them that I got a vehicle elsewhere. I would definitely check out their inventory and touch base with them to see what they can do for you, doesn't hurt to have them as an option. read more

This is a 2-part review. During the purchase, Orana and the rest of the staff at Choice Auto were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They were very responsive throughout the car purchasing process. I appreciated the upfront negotiations. I am very happy with the purchase of my vehicle. Edit: Fast-forward three months, and I still haven't received my car registration. I've gotten the runaround from the staff and will now file a complaint with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. I initially gave them a 5-star rating on Google but have since reduced the 5-star rating to 1-star for poor service after the sale. read more

If there was a 10 star Button thats what i would give this Auto Dealership! Best buying experience i ever had!! Thank you so much for the Team at Choice Automotive and especially to my Salesman Schyler!! Went beyond my expectations when they made my wish come true!

Choice Automotive - Car Dealers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I bought my car here back in April, and to this day (October) I still have not received the registration. The original registration expired in June, and although they collected money from me to extend it, nothing has been resolved. When I call the registration department, they rarely pick up the phone. Yet, when it comes to sales, they text back right away. Unbelievable. Nice cars, but extremely poor service and follow-through. read more

I bought a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser from Choice Auto and it has been nothing but trouble since owning it. Drove it home and heard a grinding noise when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. The battery died on me the next day of owning it. They still haven't processed my Registration or Safety Check. They still haven't given the Title to Navy Federal where I financed the vehicle. When I told Choice Auto about the grinding noise, Brandon, one of the manager said he'll take care of it. Had me drive it to Willy's Transmission and told Choice Auto it will cost $4800 to repair. Brandon and the salesperson, Mikey, assured me they will take care of it even though their 90 day warranty only covers up to $1500. Another manager, Gabe, called and told me they can double the coverage of the 90 day warranty to $3000 and I explained to this manager that Brandon said they will cover everything. Gabe then basically told me take or leave it. I am filing a complaint with Better Business Bureau, and will also file a civil lawsuit against Choice Auto. Do not do business with this Choice Auto as you will have nothing but headaches dealing with them. And to Brandon, please do right and keep your word of taking care of the bad transmission. read more

I Went To Purchase A Vehicle From Here And I Got Nothing But The Run Around. The Sales Man Kept Hitting On Me & Asking Me Personal Questions That Had Nothing To Do With Purchasing A Car. Then When I Told Him No He Followed Me To My Car Trying To Be Tough & Was Talk Down On My Vehicle I Was Driving At The Time. Horrible Sales Man To Ever. What If That Was Your Child, Siblings Or Other Half Being Treated That Way. read more

I wrote this company an excellent Review during the purchase of my car because I felt like they were Honest , but to my dismay They weren't honest at all , I bought a Tahoe in march and from the first day it has had problems, I have tried for 11 months for them to honor there 3 month warranty, and I was sold a $3250 service contract that no one takes on the island except for there friends shop starkeys which doesn't answer phone calls or returns calls or text , but that fine because there reviews are just as bad ! I have been patient but it's clear I need to go another route, LEARN YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS PEOPLE YOU HAVE MANY LEGAL OPTIONS, As-is Vehicle doesn't hold up without Good Faith, Look at your contract ( the tiny way it's presented to you is already misrepresented) IF YOU WERE FINANCED THROUGH THEM GET YOUR COPIES OF YOUR CONTRACT FROM THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. IF YOU ARE ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE CONTACT RICO , DCCA, Attorney generals office, FTC, You'll be surprised what is considered as fraud!!! Look at your truth and lending contract look at the finance charge , ask your self why is it so high !!! Then take it straight to a lawyer !!! REQUEST A COPY OF YOUR CREDIT APPLICATION AND COMPARE IT TO YOUR ACTUAL CREDIT !!!! read more

I would run away, fast you can. I wanted to buy a second Tacoma because my truck is getting fixed. When I looked at the truck it had rust on the front metal fabrication bumper and alot of scratches on both sides and dents on the tailgate. They were selling this truck for $39995 because of the small lift of 3.5 inches with kings. There was no spare tire by the way which is Rubbah. They also told me it was low mileage when the taco had +70k miles I offered them $32995 and the sales lady was being way too pushy saying "everybody wants a yota and I have a appointment in three days." The manager came out and told me sorry brah no can. Guess the appointment became a disappointment because it's still available and they told me I can take out a loan with another company to put as a down payment. Yah no that's more debt. Did I mention that that part of the plastic on the bumper is sticking out . read more

Report your experience! Yelp does not allow me to provide links to legal resources for others seeking assistance after purchasing a vehicle here. Like many others on this page, Choice Automotive asked me to write a 5 star review (which was a red flag and is against yelps guidelines) before I bought the car, so don't only trust good ones, as they are not all accurate. It's easy to spot these as they are usually written before they drive off the lot and sign paperwork, so they sound extremely hopeful and optimistic. Many others have had to trade in their broken cars for another at a loss, since choice refuses to buy back the vehicles they sell. This helps explain the F rating on BBB. The person who referred me to them was also paid $250. Honest businesses who have been operating for 15 years shouldn't need to pay others for referrals and ask for reviews before they've even made the sale. Naive, I thought I just had really bad luck with my car until realizing the scam at play - they knowingly sold it to me broken (negligence). They apologized and said that it was the salesman's fault, and that he no longer works with them. They told me to go to their mechanic who would fix it for free. They kept my vehicle for a month or more each time, and when I got it back, it broke again and again within a week/first couple drives each time. The car started smoking after I picked it up the last time, and it turned out that they removed a part from under the hood after "fixing it for free" for a month! I'm looking into filing a class action lawsuit just so that they can't keep doing this to people. If you read through these, it's the same story over and over. Feel free to message me! read more

Lied to me bout installing a $750 stereo in my used 2015 scienna van. I googled stereo they installed wasn't even $200?! Also did not do full maintenance check. If at all!!? Bought the van September 2023 on Labor Day. October 29,2023 bought all new tires. In July found my front tires needed to be replaced due to worn out front control arm. Both sides!! ALL the mechanics and shops i told where I purchased van from shook their heads. And said never go there !! obviously the front control arms were already worn out when I purchased van! Obviously sales people there only want to make money off the customer. And don't care bout the condition of the vehicle or the customer!!? Money, money , money pack rats!!! read more
