They are one of the few remaining service stations that still have full and mini-service. Blake, Shane, and their team exemplify great customer service! read more

Love this gas station that still offers Full Service & Gas & Go Services! Hooray for me! I don't like pumping gas! Had a bad experience a long time ago! I think it's local owned and offers Safety Check and car services! The people are very nice and friendly! I need to take premium gas for my Volvo so i think they charge me a $1 on top of premium gas per gallon It sounds alot but i am happy to pay extra for the service! Thank you! read more

See all

My work uses this gas station for gas & every time I go there to fill up, I'm always pleasantly greeted. I really liked the way that they treated their customers so I figured I'd ask them if they could repair my brakes. Blake & his crew were awesome. They were able to find a day that would work with my schedule. Dropped off my car in the morning. It was ready for pick up by the afternoon. Thanks for the great service! read more

Stumbled on the service station by chance. I'm glad I did. Blake and his team are super helpful and honest. I'll be back whenever I need a repair or another oil change! Thank you! read more

Location: Harding Ave and 12th Avenue in the 76 gas station They've come through for me several times when I had a low tire pressure warning, and even though they had self service only on the day I went, as long as I bought gas, they filled my tires for free. (Otherwise it's $6) It's hard to find actual "service stations" that provide "service" now, but this is one of the few in Kaimuki. read more

Blake the owner, is an upstanding businessman in the community who provides service with Aloha and integrity. I brought my car in for a safety inspection and left it for the day. Blake called me to let me know that I needed a couple of "mechanical repairs" before the car would pass. At the end of the day, I took an Uber from work before they closed. They replaced a rear window light for just $6.18. When I went to my car the rear window was completely shattered. I let Blake know and he throughly inspected the window and area around my car. He shared with me security video surveillance- which showed no nefarious activity. Blake suggested that we call HPD to file a report. HPD showed up and I filed a claim. Then, he took my car to have the window replaced and brought it back to his establishment. Paid in full. What I would like to say about Blake as a neighborhood service provider is that the way in which he handled the situation. With calm patience and Aloha. This is why I support LOCAL! Mahalo! read more

Their labor rates are higher than Servco dealer. Independent mechanic shops are generally lower than the dealer. Check out LHS shop they specialize in Toyota and Lexus read more

Thank you Blake for your honesty when the light was staying on my Honda Fit..also for charging the battery..Aloha Teri

Scheduled an appointment and when I arrived the mechanic would not work on the vehicle because it has modifications. If you have anything modified on your vehicle save your time, gas and energy going someplace else. He was extremely rude about it as well. Not even apologetic that he didn't mention this before even scheduling an appointment. read more

Called to inquire about a safety check. They told me I would have to drop my car off in the morning and plan to leave it all day. I'm sure they are fine for all other services but not for safety checks. read more

Ran in with a slow leak in my tire .....Yukio quickly found the nail & had my tire patched up in a jiffy ! Awesome ;) read more

Went to this station last week and meant to post a review but its been so busy with the holidays. I had to have full service fill up on my van for work. A younger gentleman pumped my gas, did the windows, tires, checked under the hood. He provided excellent customer service and I am kicking myself for not getting his name for the review (younger, very tan, tattoos both arms, good looking guy) because he's really an asset to this location. He was so friendly, polite, but also had good knowledge about servicing. I will definitely come back! read more

Asked if I could use the air hose. The worker told me it costs $6 bucks to use the hose. Full service or self service they shouldn't be charging $6. Regular gas statins that have paying air stations don't even charge that rate. read more

I came here around 8am hoping to get my safety check done before I had to head to work, but I was told that safety checks didn't start until 10am. No problem. I'll come back later. I came back at 9:45am and I was handed a piece of paper. He began to tell me that they're really busy and can't take me right now and that I should read the paper. He seemed a little stressed out. I asked if I could just wait but, again, I was told they couldn't take me right away and I should just read the paper. I wasn't too upset. I ended up driving to the Aina Haina 76 and was out of there in 7 minutes. I'm not too sure when Harding Services changed their safety check policies, but I remember that my last safety check here took around 40 minutes with two cars in front of me. It was in the late afternoon, however, and I did appreciate being able to get a safety check after work. The paper is thorough and names a few other stations in the area that give safety checks. Too bad this station is so busy! I like the location. read more

Blake is so awesome and trustworthy. I took my car to him thinking I may need a new cylinder and he assessed it as not needing any repairs. While they have an assessment fee, he refused to allow me to pay him. That's some solid business ethic and so generous in tough times. I always take my car there for tire fill ups and everyone is always friendly and responsive. Appreciate them. read more

Blake took care of my starter right away and was thorough in explanation. Service and professionalism is off the charts.

It's rare to find a service station that still has full-service. I have been coming here for years now, and I appreciate the friendly and good service I receive each time. read more

When you go to a mechanic shop these are the kind of mechanics you only wish to find working on your vehicle. A respectful family owned business with trustworthy and truthful mechanics. Every time I had taken my vehicle over to Harding Service they had always found the issue. Blake (Mechanic), Shane (Front of House) and the other mechanics at his shop are the best around the island! I have been taking my vehicle to Harding service for over ten years and they have always helped us out no matter what is the issue! The front of the house is always friendly and we are always greeted by Shane! When taking my vehicle for a repair I drop my vehicle off and have no issues leaving my vehicle there as Blake always calls if there is an issue with the vehicle and let's me know what the issue is before any repairs are done. I'm so grateful to have found this shop as they have shown me the greatest care in service and utmost respect. No matter what issue they come across, they find the issue and fix it with no problem. I've had brake jobs, axles changed, safety's checked, gas filled, etc... The Harding service does it all and I am truly grateful for their kind, dedicated and hard work over the years to keeping my vehicle in check! A true mechanic shop, no cutting corners or bs. Over the years I learned some mechanic shops can be a bit sketchy. Some may be money hungry, rip you off and do things of those sorts. I've never had any experience ever like that here and that is something I am truly grateful and thankful for. A real, local, trustworthy, family owned business! They are located on the corner of Harding Ave. / 12th Ave... It's the 76 gas station on the corner you can't miss it! Schedule an appointment to see availability. read more

Best service ever!!!! Very helpful and trustworthy. Highly recommended!! Happy with the service every time to go there:)

Both my 2006 Honda CRV and 2009 Mini Cooper needed safety checks same month so I made 2 appointments at the Harding Avenue 76 station to drop them off consecutive days the following week, but neither inspection was done to my satisfaction, for completely different reasons. Both cars are in great condition with low miles and I take good care of them. So I dropped the Mini Cooper early in the morning, came back later that afternoon to find out they had failed it because of tire wear. They told me to buy four new tires because they had measured and the tires were all out of spec. That same day I took the car down to Alan's, Kaimuki auto repair and they did the inspection and it passed just fine, mechanic said the tires are fine. Next day dropped the Honda off at the Harding 76, they completed the inspection. But when it was time to pay the $21 I saw the bill was $45, they had replaced one of the windshield wipers. So I paid $24 for one windshield wiper. I will never go here again, total rip off. I wanted to like the place bc the guys I spoke with seemed nice but there was literally NOTHING happening in the mechanics bays and they said I d need to make an apprenticeship for the following week. Strange, but also excessively stringent and overpriced. Yes Alan's is busy but so much better than this place in every other way! read more

Called ahead for safety check, gave description of my car. Attendant was waiting for me. Waved me in. He told me that my car not due for check for couple more months. Thanked him & left. Forgot that I also noticed an indicator light on my dash. Tires needed air. Attendant filled 4 tires, light didn't go off. He emptied my trunk & filled my spare. Waited for me to check indicator. So grateful! No charge, too!! I'll return in 2 months. read more

It is rare for people to help you just because.... but I am proud to tell you it happened here! Even my usual service station charges to check and full my tires. However, in a panic due to that gosh-darn light coming on, I stopped at Harding Service to pay whatever it took to get rid of the warning light. They stopped what they were doing, calmly asked me about the problem and checked and filled all four of my tires. FO' FREE! I was so thankful and really appreciated their kindness. They have definitely won my business for my next safety check! read more

Great service and caring people. My car would not go into gear at Longs and I was dead in the water. Blake helped me get a tow and arranged it so I could leave my car and not miss work. By the end of the day he had it fixed and he also checked my brakes. He gave me useful information of what to be aware of in the future, which was far and beyond any kind of service I have ever gotten from other service stations. In my hurry to pick up the car, I forgot my mask. Because we are still in a pandemic. They would not allow me in the office because an elderly worker was in there. I thought that was so nice that they cared about their elderly employee. It just showed me the kind of people they are. In other words, THEY REALLY CARE! read more

WORST SERVICE EVER!!! Went to get a safety check and asked the guy nicely if he could remove the old one and put the new one on the bracket I installed - he tells me I have to remove the old sticker myself before he can put my new one on the bracket... WTF?!? Is it really that hard to help a girl out and removed it for me... geesh... Will never go back there again!!! And suggest that no one else should go there either!!! read more

A quick safety check and a windshield wiper replacement took all about 20 minutes! Hooray, Yukio! read more

Since my vehicle safety check had totally slipped my mind, I contacted these guys last minute and they couldn't have been more efficient. Here's some quick tips if you go here. -call first to confirm they are doing safety checks before heading over -they will greatly appreciate it if you have your paperwork in order (registration, original proof of insurance, etc.) before you arrive -as far as the safety checks, it is the "first come, first serve" type of approach; just check in with one of the employees when you arrive and they will provide instructions read more

Great service station for getting your safety check! I have been coming to this 76 Gas Station for the past 4 years and I am very satisfied with their efficiency and service. The older Japanese man always does my safety check. He is friendly, efficient and offers good customer service. I just came back to get my safety check on June 30th at about 5pm (yep, I wait till the last day of the month!). Although they were about to close, the man told me that since it was the last day of the month, he'd do my safety check. I really appreciate that the staff here cares about their customers and are willing to put in that little bit of extra time. Thanks for taking care of me so that I wouldn't get pulled over & fined for not having my safety check up to date! read more

Called them this afternoon to see if it was possible to get a Safety Check done today, the guy on the phone said come on down, I was there in 10 minutes and the first guy started on the paperwork while the other guy ran through the inspection. I was done in less than 10 minutes. If they gave this kind of service for a Safety Check which is no $$ for them can you imagine the service they would provide for a paying job! My hats off to them! If anyone needs any auto repair done in town I think you won't be disappointed! Thanks again guys it was a very pleasant experience. Ian M. read more

I came in this morning for a safety check. I spoke with Blake and he not only took care of my safety check but he went above and beyond. He took me in even though I didn't have an appointment. He called me regularly with any and all updates. Blake even went so far as to make necessary adjustments with one of my lights because "for him it was an easy fix". Not easy for normal people who don't know about cars. I felt as if I were a VIP customer when I haven't come here for my safety check in about a decade since I live near the airport. Thank you again for AMAZING service ABOVE and BEYOND......:) read more

Where do I start! I went there today for a safety inspections. I had a new safety plate/bracket on my car and as soon as the guy started the inspection, I kindly asked him to place the new sticker on the nice new bracket at the bottom of the bumper. Three (3) minutes before he placed the sticker, I reminded him again about the bracket. He told me it was finished. I walk around to the truck and guess what....the sticker is on my freaking bumper!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS I SCREAMED!!! The guy didn't apologize or anything. Just told me not to remove it as it will break into pieces once I try to peel it off and relocate it. Wouldn't even give me another sticker or fix the blatant mistake after I asked! So pissed! Will never go back here again!!!! Please avoid this place! Only good thing is that it took all of 20 mins. read more

This place is awesome!!!! They fixed my reverse lights, only place on the island that would take this job and they did an awesome job. Very informative and they keep you in the know w everything going w your car... highly recommend these guys read more

It's that dreaded time of year for me again....safety check & registration This was my very first time ever coming to this service station & I'm sure it'll be my new go-to spot. This is easily the closest station to my home & everyone who works here was very friendly. There was 3 or 4 cars in front of me when I pulled up & I waited about a half hour before it was my turn. The actual inspection only took about 5 minutes. A word of advice: the line for their safety inspections is in the first aisle (nearest the convenience shop) with all the vehicles entering from their driveway on 12th Ave. Come from Waialae & turn south on 12th Ave. then turn left into the driveway to get in line. The line gets long & if you come from Harding instead & get stuck trying to turn right into the driveway, traffic will back up & block the intersection. read more

I've been here a total of four times across three years for a variety of reasons. I really hoped to support a family operated business, but was disappointed that every time I came here I received incredibly poor service. During my last visit I went in for a safety check for an old vehicle that I used to drive. It's really beat up, & not attractive at all but it still drives decently. The older gentleman informed me that if the vehicle doesn't pass the test for whatever reason I am still responsible for paying the fee for the safety check. I've been told this at other auto shops, so I consented stating that I understand. He proceeded to ask me very sternly & coldly five more times, almost as though he wanted me to change my mind about getting my car checked. My car passed the safety check, but I will never return again, nor do I recommend this establishment to anyone. There are too many options out there to simply settle for mediocre service. Two stars because despite the altercations, I left this place with whatever job I needed on my car completed. read more

I love this gas station because they're always friendly and willing to help me. George is always there to help me fill in air in my tires because honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing. He doesn't get mad when all I do is get air... but I do get gas sometimes. I know it's pricey in Kaimuki for gas because it seems like they price their gas with Kahala prices. But when you need gas, you need gas. They're fast for safety checks and it's nice that they do them until 5pm because honestly, by the time I'm done with work it's 4:45 and they tell me not to rush... so sweet! read more

I waited until the last minute to get a safety check and ended up here (I normally go to the car dealership). From now on, I will come here for a safety check, and maybe some other services as well. What sold me? First of all, they were very efficient with the safety checks, despite a line of four cars in front of me. They were also very service-oriented...the cashier came outside to make sure everyone was comfortable, moved me from the sun to the shade, and offered people candy (it was Halloween) and magazines to read while waiting. They also offer what I consider old-school customer service, a dying art these days. They may not all be Chatty Cathy's, but they're polite, and they're all hustling to get the job done right. read more

Location grants them 2 stars vs 1, and that they are polite. My biggest laugh is how when I went last year to get my safety check done, and because I didn't have a bunch of spare time, they got me. They charged me $25 to replace a 99 cent bulb by my license plate. The reason I know this is, within one month, the bulb went out again. I went to napa and was charged 99 cents. It took me ummm about 2 minutes to replace the bulb and 1:30 seconds was spend finding a Philips screw driver. I tried them a second time and this is what I was told. "Sorry but you need to wait with your car (mind you it's crazy hot out) for 45 min, before we can tell you if we can do the safety check today or not." I think the better way to say it is, sorry we are too slammed today. They won't let you leave your car and come back. They also blamed the DOT, because it takes them 3 guys to do the check. Really, they should go watch a 5 yr old use an iPad it's not that bad. Yes, good smile and nice apology, but a half maybe try wait a long time is worse than a sorry can't do it today. read more

When my safety inspection started, I should have known right away there would be issues. The person handling the inspection spent the first five minutes complaining about his previous customer. I found this unprofessional, but attempted to play along in order to receive good service myself. This tactic did not work. Harding Service was the second of three places I attempted to get my safety inspection completed. This was also the second of three places where I was told a different reason for the failure. Additionally, the previous reasons I was told it would fail at other safety inspection locations was not mentioned at this establishment. As someone new to the safety inspection process, it would have been nice to be treated fairly, with respect and educated on the process. Instead when I reasonably questioned the particular reason I was being failed for, the person handling the safety inspection became belligerent and started shouting at me. I'm not certain how this place handles auto repairs, but based on the service I received during my inspection, I will not be coming here for my repairs. read more

Awesome customer service! I was referred by another Unocal owner. Called ahead of time to make an appointment and to find out station's service protocols. Exactly the same as the Unocal I've used for the past 30 years. Only reason for the change was due to proximity to my home. Mith was very helpful, explained work needed, and did not pressure me to have it all done immediately. Very professional! I will continue using their services. read more

Ok local neighborhood gas station been around a long time in kaimuki. Parents used to go there to fill gas regularly. Once on the suggestion of one of the attendents ,suggested that a service be done,so older parents went with service not knowing better,notified me of service(timing belt change) when I came home,checked receipt and work, (ok).fast foward a couple years(mind you that parents don't drive far or often) and same service preformed again ..Hummm.ok from that time on I mentioned that if they suggest any repairs to notify me first.so to sum it up these guys have no concience what so ever to prey on senior's who were regular customers !! read more

Eureka! I have been looking for an honest, reliable and great customer service auto care center. I found it in Harding 76 service station. Blake and the entire team were just perfect. Needed my serpentine belt replaced. Every other place I went to gave me appointments in 5 days or longer. Blake was able to do it same day in one hour!! Best maintenance team ever! Thanks you Harding. I am a believer!!!! read more
