Located on Colburn street, smack dab in Kalihi. Safety checks here are efficient and quick. Make sure you have your car registration & insurance. Cash is $28 for a safety check. Card is a tad bit more. You do not need a reservation for safety checks. They have lunch from 12pm-1pm, so show up during any other hour during their hours of operation. Happy Yelping! (:

Fantastik Auto Repair... The name says it all. If you're looking for a shop that does a quick safety check, then make an appointment to see Elaine. She'll get you in and out in no time. One great thing about this shop is you don't need to leave your vehicle to complete a safety check. Everything is set-up for a quick inspection. Just drive up during your appointment time and park in their clearly marked safety check stalls. Place your current registration and no-fault insurance card on your drivers side dash. Then just sit back and relax. During the inspection, you'll be asked to step on the brakes, turn on the lights, signal left and right, turn on the wipers, honk your horn, etc. All to be sure your vehicle is safe and working properly. Cost for the safety check is $26. Please have exact change. See you in one year.

Exhaust gasket. You can tell it was leaking from the black soot marks that go from the inner bore to the outside.

After finding out that Starkeys Auto repair does NOT do State service Inspections since they moved to the new location, they recommended Fantasik Auto Repair or A1. I chose Fantasik and I was NOT disappointed. Most inspections take over 10 minutes from my experience at Jiffy Lube & Starkeys. I pulled in, stayed in my car, the inspector checked the lights, tint, brakes, odometer. Less than 5 minutes I was out and driving away with a new place to go! I will be going there annually for the inspection from now on. Thank you so much for making my experience painless and easy-peasy! read more

Thank God COVID made it relaxed due to all the regulations that were put in place. My boss told me about Fantastik Auto and set up an appointment for me. Eric was absolutely amazing! Extremely personable and quick. He even took a look under my hood when I mentioned a problem with my windshield wiper fluid leaking and gave me some pointers on how to resolve it. I arrived about 10 minutes early and not even 15 minutes later, I had a brand new Safety sticker on the back of my vehicle. Thank you, Eric for your kindness and amazing service! read more

There was another car before me when I arrived but I was helped in less than 5 minutes (and I didn't have to step out of my car!).

Called frantically looking for someone to siphon the car to 1/4 tank or less in under 2.5 hours - they were so helpful and accommodating, got the car to 1/6th tank, wrote me a note on shop paper to give to the shipping company in case the gauge didn't drop fast enough, and got me siphoned and dropped off before the docks closed!

Now, you can honestly order almost anything you might need for a classic mustang, but most shops hear that you have a classic and they won't even look at it. My transmission (original) had a leak and was slipping. After calling numerous other shops, I found AllTrans. We were a little challenged in scheduling due to the Mapunapuna roads that flood (who wants to drive through that with their classic auto?) but once I was able to drop off my baby, all was well. The owner, Mike, wanted to take a look at her before I departed to ensure that it wasn't just a simple vacuum leak. Nope, tired old tranny that needed some TLC. Pricing seemed fair (my son is in the business on another island and felt pricing was reasonable, too) and communication was good as they performed a complete overhaul.

I was able to order the part to ship to them directly and got a call that she was good to go the same day the part arrived. Mike had personally done the test drive to ensure that all was good and made sure I knew about some other items that he felt need to be addressed.

Normally I'm not one to leave reviews, and this is actually my first time ever posting one on Yelp…read more-- but I HAD to share our experience because integrity like this is rare nowadays. My husband and I had been dealing with a persistent noise during deceleration in our 2011 Toyota Camry for over a year. We took it to several shops, spent a few thousand dollars fixing "issues" that turned out to be unrelated, and still had the same problem. We eventually figured out it was coming from the transmission -- yikes! We went to another transmission shop (which I won't name), and after multiple visits and some shady back-and-forth, they quoted us $9,500 for a replacement transmission and wanted $6,000 down just to order it. Weeks later, they claimed the transmission was "lost in shipping" and offered to rebuild it for nearly the same price. Something just didn't sit right with us. That's when I decided to call around, and Certified Transmission Differential was the first shop that actually answered. I spoke directly with the owner, Tracy, and explained everything. Even after hearing what I was quoted elsewhere, he stayed honest -- no upselling, no games. He quoted me $4,500 for the rebuild, less than half of what I was about to pay! From start to finish, Tracy went above and beyond. He opened early so we could drop the car off before work, kept us informed every step of the way, and even showed my husband the damaged parts he replaced. He was incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward, and fair -- even buying another transmission just to get a rare part without charging us extra. In a world where so many businesses overcharge or take advantage of people, Tracy and his team restored our faith in what honest work looks like. Our Camry drives beautifully now, and we finally feel peace of mind knowing the job was done right. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and fair mechanic, go to Certified Transmission Differential. Tracy has absolutely earned our trust and our future business -- I can't recommend this shop enough!

We don't know where it happened, at Le's or the general mechanic's shop but the excuse we got was "Oh, it must have fallen off while driving the car around." SMH

One of the guys waved and asked if I needed help and I told him I needed my safety done, he nodded and asked for the paperwork. I waved it at him and he said to give them a few minutes. Within a few minutes, they had me over to the counter getting ready to pay for the Safety, when I saw the sign "All Safety Inspections are CASH only" YIKES! The guy smiled and pointed to the credit union at the corner and said there's an ATM right there. Phew! Left my keys with them and took a short walk to get some cash. By the time I walked back, my car was sitting in the bay, and another gentleman was putting on my sticker and she was ready to go. All I had to do was pay! Definitely quick and easy! I will keep this little gem of a shop in mind.

If I have a transmission issue in the future, I will definitely go back. There are just two mechanics there, and they look pretty busy. But if you want to work with someone you can trust, Wayne is the guy.

I was so happy for the good job he did that I asked him to fix everything on my 2002 Ford Windstar. I have recommended him to all my friends who were also happy with the repairs he did on their vehicles. Loc can fixed almost anything and he is very professional and very reasonable. He has the lowest prices compared to other shops. He is honest, knowledgeable, and always goes straight to the problem and fixes it fast! Most jobs were done the same day. Here is a list of the jobs he has done on both of my cars: changed the gasket in-take manifold, rotor, disk brake pads, brake caliper, CV joint boot kit, driver front axle, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, air filter, and A/C filter; changed transmission oil & AT Filter Kit. Placed new starter & new alternator in both of my cars. He replaced OESpectrum Strut & 2 Rear OESpectrum Shock; changed 4 New O2 Sensors on my van; he correctly diagnosed a multipurpose pressure leak problem that was too much of a challenge; replaced the brake fluid dispenser and brake caliper with hardware; installed a new radiator & radiator hose kit and curved radiator hose with thermostat premium, thermostat housing gasket and new water reservoir all in one job; installed new water pump, cabin air filter and flush all in one job; installed power steering hose, rack & pinion; changed spark plugs wire Ignition coil set; installed EGR Valve; fixed the doors lock actuator and the stoplight switch. I usually don't recommend mechanics but Loc helped me so much with my old car issues that other mechanics won't even touch. Loc you've been a real Mechanic/Car Doctor. My husband and I really appreciate you and your skills. Mahalo and God Bless you!!

They're usually able to take me in pretty soon too which is great. On my most recent visit, I went in thinking I needed specific work done, but Codi realized it was a totally different issue.

They're so good at explaining what happened and I've never felt ripped off. The reception area is nice with AC, water, and a TV, plus a huge perk is that they pay for your one way ride share from the shop after you drop your car off.

We were in and out in less than 10 minutes. The process is incredibly organized and they have clear signs showing where to queue, and while we waited, they completed one inspection ahead of us. One employee handled the paperwork while the other performed the inspection, checking lights, blinkers, and making sure everything on the vehicle was working properly. The price was $27 if you pay with cash or $30 with a credit card, which was very reasonable. The entire team was friendly, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Another car pulled in after us for a safety check and was finished shortly after as well. They've truly got the process down to a science. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick, hassle-free safety inspection!

No appointment needed for safety check or was not rudely turned away from auto mechanic shops when it gets too busy despite making calls and waiting/confirmation before coming over. Was impressed with the service so I came back again. On my recent return, i noticed the hours changed. I miss this place having to be opened until 4:00ish since my last safety check. Still do not need to get out of the car but just need to get your required documents ready as well as the mileage since they will ask from you verbally and check your odometer. Need to follow the staff instructions as asked and they do check window tint. They usually take out the old safety stick and place new one on your bumper but this time, the staff just placed it over my old which I didn't like. I tried asking but no time so maybe next time... This place can get busy since I had to park on the side and wait in line queue outside and reversing back into traffic on queen street can be intimidating at times when it is busy after all is done. $27 safety check fee which includes tax (but add $3 more if paying by debit/credit card). Some stuff changed but still I would still consider this place again for safety check and for convenience.

Both of these gentlemen are extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, courteous, fast and efficient!

As a native Haole since 1991 from the months of June through July, i have discovered Fantastik Auto Repair to be the only local place I trust my Ohana to go to. The customer service is extra Mahalo and they even give You a Lei after pau with the car. While You wait they serve You Chi Chi's and Bubba's Burgers... All jokes aside, Couldn't disagree more with entitled people who demand instant gratification and do not understand that full service takes more than 10 minutes and actual service does cost money. Very impressed with my auto repairs and was not overcharged at all! The pricing is as fair as my haole skin! I have never been to NAZI Germany so i can't compare Fantastik Auto Repair to it, but comparing anything You don't agree with or like to NAZI's is totally in right now! Mahalos and thanks for the Kokua's read more

MOST ORGANIZED SHOP EVER!! This place is spotless holy cow! I have only gotten safety check here but would feel comfortable having work on my car here because of how well organized they look. You can tell the managers run a tight ship and I appreciate that. They are open Monday through Saturday and closed for lunch so plan accordingly! Parking can get tricky since is it on narrow and busy street but nothing they can do about that. They have seats you can hangout at. Some wifi and coffee would be awesome touch lol! read more
