    Dirt remaining on the dashboard in the seam next to the speaker.
    Jake N.

    I heard good reviews of this place from my coworkers so I took my 2015 Silverado. It's a work pickup with some stains in the upholstery and head liner. I simply wanted a thorough cleaning of the inside to get rid of dust and to see if any of the stains would come out. I was disappointed when I got it back. The stains weren't removed which is fine, but there was still grunge on the dashboard, behind the steering wheel, between the seats, on the seatbelt hangers, and in all the little places which are harder to reach but which are accessible simply by turning the steering wheel or sliding the seat forward. After getting home I had to wipe the interior down with a rag to finish removing the dirt.

    I am changing my review from two to 4 stars because of how promptly I revived a response after leaving the initial review. They took the time to clean the ceiling of the vehicle and even gave us a coupon for a free cleaning good for one year. I would have done 4.5 stars if possible but I didn't do 5 stars because my husband (who took the car in for the second cleaning) isn't sure they did the best job and when he showed up for the appointment, they said we were there on the wrong day, though, thankfully they did it anyway. I will likely continue to come here because this auto detailing service keeps trying to deliver great service and I appreciate the effort!

    I've had my car detailed multiple times at Hawaiian Island Auto Detailing because I used to work at Restaurant Row. There was nothing better than dropping my dirty silver Lexus RX300 in the morning & then picking up a shiny pretty Lexus RX300 in the afternoon! They were always really good at having my car cleaned by the agreed upon time whenever I've gone there. Best thing you can do is drop it off in the morning before work then pick it when you're finished in the late afternoon. Detailing can get pretty spendy but it's worth it if you want to keep your car looking swanky! Dave the owner is a cool guy (and a golfer!) and they're offering a pretty good deal right now for Kama'aina. It's not cheap like the drive thru car wash but when you get your car back it's almost as good as brand new!

    So despite mixed reviews I decided to try this place out because it was convenient. Unfortunately the bad reviews were right. First, I called and asked about pricing for my Mazda 5. I specified that it was the model with the sliding rear doors. The guy who answered, and then helped me today, said "oh, the station wagon" and said he used to sell Mazda's and knew which car I was talking about. I told him I really wanted the inside cleaned because the seats were dirty. He told me it would be $100 to get the kamaaina special which includes exterior wash/wax and interior cleaning (carpets, dash, cup holders, etc.), and an additional $45 to clean the seats, for a total of $145. When I got there the next day for my appointment he said he was confused and was thinking about the Mazda 3 when he gave me the quote. Then he went on to say the interior cleaning alone would be $145 but that he would also include a basic car wash. I was already there early in the morning and had switched cars with my mom, as it was her vehicle I was getting it cleaned for her birthday. So I said fine. When I got back it didn't look washed although he claimed it was when I asked. Also, the inside was just ok. He said it would look better when I drove it out because the business is in the parking structure at restaurant row, which has kind of dim lighting. I didn't want to argue about the wash figuring I could wash it again myself later. But then when I drove it out and back to work, I was really disappointed. Some of the seats were still stained and there was dust and dirt still present on the steering wheel as though they hadn't cleaned it at all. There was what looked like lint from cheap rags all over the side door panel and the console and the center console area was still dirty as though not cleaned at all. Then when I got out I could see very clearly in the sunlight they didn't wash the car at all. There were small bird poop droppings still present on the car and also there was debris (leaves, twigs, and even a black monkey pod) in the front area where the windshield wipers are. Bottom line - I'm embarrassed to take the car back to my mom for her birthday and will have to probably do a bunch of work cleaning the inside and washing the car myself. What a waste of money.

    Doesn't deserve a one star rating. Pictures and videos (Red Tacoma) explains the type of work they do. Brought truck in at 8am and didn't get it till 3pm for a wash/wax, vacuum, and interior wipe down. There's a place on Kapiolani I could have went to and would of saved me time and money ($80).

I've brought two different cars here, and both experiences have been excellent. Every employee who worked on my vehicles was incredibly diligent and paid close attention to the details. They clearly take pride in their work, and it shows in the final result. The prices are fair, the quality is consistently great, and I've always left impressed with how clean my cars looked. My only wish is that they would open a second location on the windward side. I'd be a regular customer if they were closer!

Every trip back to Hawaii somehow includes a stop here, usually in one of my parents' cars, waiting in line with everyone else while the smell of soap mixes with hot asphalt and exhaust. It's oddly nostalgic. The system works, but it definitely assumes you've been here before. When you pull up, the menu isn't really explained. You're asked a few quick questions about tires, vacuuming or upgrades and before you know it you're being waved forward. If you're trying to understand the difference between services or whether a detail is worth it, don't expect much guidance. The actual wash was good, especially for the price. Coming from Los Angeles, where a proper wash and detail can easily cost well over $100, it's hard to complain. Just don't expect perfection. The interior looked much better, but there was still sand hiding under the kids' car seats and a few corners that were easy to miss. If you have children, prepare yourself for the awkward dance of unloading everyone while deciding whether to let someone else drive your car through the wash. One thing I would recommend. Tip the crew. They work incredibly hard in the Hawaii heat, moving nonstop from one car to the next. No, it isn't a concours level detail. But for a long standing neighborhood institution that gets you in, gets you out and leaves your car noticeably cleaner without emptying your wallet, it's still easy to understand why locals keep coming back.

    My car was really dirty! I could see paw prints on the back of my car from our neighborhood cats…read morelol. My sister and I went out today and I said I need to check Yelp for a nearby car wash. Lo and behold, this Texaco car wash place popped up. I read a few reviews and I decided to try it out. There was about four cars ahead of me. The reviews warned us about the wait time. There is wait that depends on the type of car wash package you select. I estimated @10-15 minutes per car. I didn't know where to pay and I asked my sister to run into the convenience store to check if I needed to pay first. You can pay inside and you will receive a receipt with a code that you enter into a machine that is located near the entrance of the car wash. Or you can pay at the machine as well. Your choice. Pay attention to the instructions and lighted signs! It will guide you into the automatic car wash with ease. It's pretty loud inside so be prepared! Pricing is really great at $10 for the basic- Deluxe Wash, $14 for the premium wash, $17 for the ultimate wash, and $20 for Ceramic shine. See photo for more information. It's an automatic car wash , so be prepared to wipe down your car with a towel after you exit and find a place to park. The dryer doesn't get every spot. If you want air for your tires, vacuum, or water, it will cost you. Bring your coins. Appeared that some features are broken. Overall, a good experience for my old and now cleaned up car!

    I said I wasn't going back but I have been back. Sometimes you just want to wait one hour because 6…read morecars are ahead of you. Sometimes there's a guy that knows you want to use the car wash but he goes really fast, parks his car right outside the wash, takes his sweet time to walk and talk to the people in the booth. Then he slowly walks to the car, waits for I dunno - a few minutes. Then slowly goes in. When his wash is finished, he waits until the entire car was turns off then he slowly moves out. All of this before 6am in the morning. Good morning to all! But then it's my turn. I pay $20, get the ceramic coating etc... etc... and in the end, they fix the problem with the car ripping off my back wiper. They fixed it! Because it didn't wash half of the back of my car. Oh well..... So..... would you take this car wash which is the closest to your house? OR drive to Waipio for a 1 min 48 sec car wash for the same price? Choices.......

I was a little hesitant on how the next business owner would be, but I decided to give him a try. I'm so glad I did because I've been coming here for months now. Booking an appointment is easy and Colby (new owner) is very responsive. He usually gets back to me by the end of the day. LOCATION: They are located in the Pacific Guardian Center... the entry to their building is on Alakea Street. Pull a ticket and drive up to the 10th floor. COST: Depending on what you wanna get, he hand wash and dries your car... I have a black car so I don't trust taking my car to an auto car wash place. Inquire with the business because the prices my change. Overall, for the convenience and quality, it's definitely worth it. SERVICE: Colby is very responsive via text message or phone. I usually drop my car off and then grab a bite to eat downstairs and catch up on some reading. When he's about done with my car, he texts me and then I head back upstairs. The garage ticket is also automated. So you don't have to worry about paying for the garage fee on the way out. I've been coming here for a few month now for a hand wash and quick vacuum of the interior. It's really convenient coming here because I live a very busy life.
