Lance provides excellent service. as per usual. Prior to 0900 he does safety checks...I didn't realize this until last year. Fixed my A/C compressor and hose ( which had a leak ). Dropped off my 2004 Toyota Highlander - he specializes older vehicles - yesterday morning and picked it up the next afternoon because his assistant was sick last week and they were backed up on repairs. Always satisfied with Goya's Garage on Mokauea St. I didn't realize not see the businesses mascot...neighborhood cat, yesterday or today. read more

Doing business with Lance at Goya's Garage was the best experience I've ever had when it comes to car repairs! He is super knowledgeable, professional, honest and does quality work. My 2009 Corolla's check engine light came on and also was vibrating a lot whenever I braked at red lights and stop signs. Lance diagnosed the problem right away, gave me a favorable estimate, and I had my car back in no time at all. Now car runs beautifully; I feel like I'm driving a new car again. I'm telling all my family and friends about this gem of a place! read more

Lance and his guy took full responsibility for why my ac was plowing hot air. My mechanic said it was bad seal on compressor, Windward Honda said it was a bad condenser and wanted $2800 to fix it. Lance said after putting in dye that there was a loss of pressure but it was not condenser or compressor. Sent me to Aloha Auto AC next door and they removed the Freon (so they can put back the new Freon that Windward added) and said it's the hose(s). Go to the experts! Thanks Lance saved me lots of $$$$ read more

Lance, the owner is trustworthy and reliable. Weʻve been taking our cars for maintenance and repairs for almost 20 years. He wonʻt tell you that you need to have this and this replaced just to make money. read more

Very good service. Fast and efficient. Got my safety inspection done and was done really quick. Will definitely go back.

Lance is amazing and the way he cares for his customers is unlike anywhere else I've been to have my car serviced. He's about making sure you get what you need done in the most efficient manner and he doesn't rip off his customers, really the best value around. I honestly would love to keep this a secret but he deserves the recognition. He really treats people like family and that's why I always go to him. read more

Mr. Goya's kindness and knowledge of automobiles is first rate. I went there to get my AC compressor replaced and he was able to get my car in and out of the shop in a timely manner and made all necessary repairs for a very reasonable price. I was referred to him recently and I regret that I didn't know about him sooner. I will be taking my vehicle to him from now on. Thanks again, Lance! read more

My first time coming here and it sure won't be the last. Located right before Alicia's market and kind of easy to find. Lance is such a nice mechanic. He truly is honest with everything he does. I was able to drop off my car for a maintenance check and oil change at 8am and he said it would be ready by noon. Although I explained to him I had work a little after 10am thinking it would only take approx. 2hrs. He was kind enough to do my car first and I did not expect that. Usually when I do maintenance checks and oil change at servco they charge $150-180 but my total only came out to around $85. I think he truly is honest with what he does. He informed my battery will need to be changed in the future and as well as rotate my tires. Auto shops tend to kind of do extra things with people who don't know much about car (me lol) but he said he would only do what necessary and people can return if they need further assistance. I'm so happy I came here! read more

Been going to Lance for years. Trustworthy and reasonable prices.

Lance Goya is a first class auto tech. He's honest and fair. If a problem is outside of his expertise he will refer you to the right source.

I've known Lance for over 30 years. He used to be our main auto mechanic for our company's vehicles. He's the warmest and nicest guy you'll meet and works with you and lets you know what's needed to repair on your cars.

You can call him ahead of time or even, the same day and he'll let you know right away if he can do the job. Aloha Lance for all that you do for me and my family! We appreciate your help.

Lance Goya has been my mechanic for nearly 10 years and I trust him implicitly. I first met him when my SUV blew a hose in the cooling system and the tow truck took it to place. He fixed it quickly and didn't gouge me on the cost of repair. Since then, he's worked on my vehicles exclusively, as well as performed oil changes and safety inspections. He's always kind and personable. He always communicates the issue in a clear way. And he always does the job right the first time. I tell everyone I know to see him to get their car fixed. It's hard to find a good, trustworthy mechanic, but you don't have to look further than my guy Lance. read more

Lance is as honest as it gets. I got a referral to Goya's garage from a trusted friend who has been using Lance for 10 years. The referral did not let me down. Lance got me in as soon as possible and fixed my problems in less than a day - brake light issue and stuck driver's seat. His prices were also very reasonable. You can tell by the pricing and by your encounter with Lance that he is extremely honest. I'm really happy to have found this garage and will continue to frequent it when needed. I highly recommend this garage, and wish I could write more reviews to elevate his ratings. read more

First rate repair shop. We come all the way from ewa to use his service. Great price, fixed on 1 visit.

Recently I had to get my car towed to Goya's garage when my tie rod broke. I was recommended by my trusted mechanic friend (who was not available to fix it at the time ) and I was not disappointed. Lance understood the urgency of needing the car back and he had it ready at no time. He is not a man of much words but you can tell he takes pride in what he does and he is very professional. I would highly recommend his garage. read more

We're so glad that Lance now has a permanent location that has ample work space. We started with Lance over 25 years ago from Liliha St., then School St., Nuuanu Ave., Isenberg St., and now Mokauea. During that time Lance has consistently done honest, professional mechanical work on the variety of autos & truck we've owned. He's always courteous and promptly performs even the routine safety checks that disrupt his backlog of major repairs. He's only a phone call away for inquiries. As they say, one can never be without a good mechanic, physician, tax accountant, plumber, dentist, attorney, et al. read more

I too have been going to Lance for years now. From School Street to his Chevron station on Nuuanu Ave. I'm so happy that he has found a new home at 287C Mokauea Street in Kalihi Kai. It sure is a big improvement from his previous location although parking at the new location is tight. What impresses me most about Lance is his honesty and fair prices. And he's a good mechanic and knows his stuff! His new phone number is 679-8752. read more

I was referred to (goya's) Lance by my daughters co- worker. He is an honest man. He explains what is needed to be done in detail. He will let you know if it needs to be done right away or if it can wait or if it's necessary. He made me feel comfortable and at ease . He will check it out , give you an estimate and talk to you about it. His prices are fair. Being a women I need to feel that my car will get me where I need to go safely and reliably. With Lance I feel that my car will be taken cared of in the right way and I will have a safe automobile . I trust Lance. He does a good job. read more
