They want to charge me for an Inspection ; before they can give me any kind of Quote for Front Brakes pads n Rotors on a Toyota Tacoma. A simple quote that most Auto places can deliver; They insisted to have me pay for inspection just so I can get a quote. Too hungry for $$$. All other Auto Repair shops I called had no problem providing a Competitive Quote. read more

I took my car in because the transmission light came on and it was skipping a bit when changing gears. They charged me $363.08 to tell me that they don't know why the transmission is broken and they can't fix it. Would not give me the car back until I paid in full. DO NOT GO THERE! read more

Good honest service! Didn't try to over sell anything, as a matter of fact, I thought I needed new brakes, but they told me they were good, just. A little corrosion from sitting in salt air and they would be fine after driving a bit. read more

Lots of friends and neighbors recommended Kauai Auto Repair when I needed some work done on my 1999 Jeep Wrangler. I treasure my Jeep- I have had it for 20yrs. It is fun to drive and, knock on wood, has not needed a lot of repairs since I bought it. Riley and Lauren are very friendly, as well as being professional. And they know what they're doing. Their prices are fair, they get the job done and I get my Jeep back promptly. Their communication is excellent. Nice to do business with a company that is honest, and has good workers. No waiting room, but Ko Bakery/Coffee Shop is two doors down- another good company, with delicious pastries and great chai tea. Also, a short walk down the street is The Blooming Tail- one of my favorite thrift shops, benefiting Kauai Humane Society. read more

Talk about a godsend!!!! Was sitting on the side of the road broke down on highway 50 going towards Lihue. I was praying and wondering what I was going to do. All of a sudden, a black Audi pulled over in front of me. Ryan from Kauai Auto Repair Was there to help me. Not only did he help me, but the pricing was Better than any other shop that worked on my car. If I could, I would give them 10 stars. read more

Aloha Yelp Community! I must tell you about an awesome experience with Angel S. and the guys over at Kauai Auto Repair. Not many shops here on Kauai, HI touch my pride and joy! I installed these GM Camper Tow Mirrors on my 2015 Silverado 2500HD 2 years ago and was told at the time only the features that came on the truck would work Ex. (Power Adjust/Defog) functions as that is what the truck was equipped with when built by the factory. These OEM Mirrors come with a load of extra features and added a small cosmetic boost to the appearance of the truck. I was not wanting to splice into the factory harness or run a bunch of loose wires on my fairly new truck so i waited and checked the forms for a factory solution. To my surprise GM had many customers express interest in this mirror retro fit due to these Camper mirrors being released in late 2015 as i had purchased the truck in August 2014. GM released offered a factory OEM retrofit that would not void any warranty on the vehicle and not require splicing into the factory harness. After purchasing the 2 factory harness and 1 jump harness i was on the lookout to find a shop that was willing and able to install these as am not very good at electrical work. Angel and guys over at Kauai repair took care of my baby and installed these with ease. They were friendly, upfront and knowledgeable about what i needed done and finished the job in about a day with ZERO issues! I'd also like to comment about that previous review of an Oil Change being $250. Angel was very upfront about the cost and had a break down of what was being charged very professional and easily approachable hard to find on this small island! That review was back in 2016 and I'm happy to report that is no longer the case or apart of their business practice they take pride and stand behind their work. Do not hesitate to bring your sweet ride down to the guys at Kauai Auto Repair! Mahalo! Daniel LaRoque read more

This auto repair shop was the most professional place I've found in over 30 years on this island. I took my car in for routine maintenance and they discovered an oil leak that would have caused major damage if not found. Sent photos of damage and repair. Just wish they had a waiting room cuz I'm coming from other side of island. Regardless, I highly recommend. read more

We went there to get our truck aligned and they were totally trying to rip us off -cost of parts they quoted us over 6 grand before we would be able to have the truck aligned. I would not recommend. We went to another mechanic who bought the parts, assembled and aligned the truck for 700. Very dissatisfied with kauai auto repair. read more

It upset me very much that I am having to write this. I called and made an appointment to have 2 new tires mounted, then rotated to the back and vice versa. I also requested an alignment. I was given an appointment for Tuesday. I was told to drop off my truck at 8 am and it would be ready to pick up at 330 the same day. At 9:43 A.M. on Tuesday, I received a call from someone named Rilen at Kauai Auto Repair. He told me that the Alignment could not be done because the Rear Eccentric Bolt was stripped. He then said they had one in stock and could replace it. The cost? $400. He said the Rack may have to be removed in order to replace the bolt. I have little knowledge of auto repair, but when he said the alignment could not be done because of the bolt, of course I agreed to the repair. He then said it would still be done by 3:30 P.M. I thanked him and hung up. At 9:52 A.M., I received another call from Rilen. He said my truck would not be ready that day. He said it was a "project" and they "wanted to take their time" on it. I was fine with that and agreed. At 12:36, I received another call from Rilen stating that my truck was finished and ready to be picked up. This is when confusion started, but I have no knowledge of Auto Repair so I just thanked him and made arrangements to go down to pick up my truck. When I got there, I went directly to the office to pay my bill. For and alignment and 2 tires mounted, I expected the bill to be less than 150. Rilen told me another $400 for the bolt. I was floored when the clerk told me my bill was $762.07. I had no idea why it cost that much, but because I know nothing about auto repair, I paid the bill and left. This made no sense. I needed to talk to someone that understood this kind of stuff, so I went to my mechanic and showed him the paperwork from Kauai Auto. The paperwork contained pictures of the stripped bolt, and the nut that was on the bolt. My mechanic has done extensive work on my truck and is also certified. The only reason I did not go to him for my alignment was because he does not have an alignment machine. Infact he is the only person I trust to work on my truck because of his experience and abilities with Toyotas. He was very upset and said that the bolt was NOT stripped. He put that bolt in brand new 5 months ago. Besides that, it had a locking nut on it and could not understand why Kauai Auto removed the nut in the first place. He said the nut does not have to be removed, it just has to be loosened. The pictures given to me by Kauai Auto show the bolt with very fresh metal shavings on the upper half of the bolt. At the base of the bolt, it is clean with no stripping at all. This is where the nut sat when my mechanic installed it 5 months prior. The bolt had not been touched since then. It is very clear the stripping occurred when Kauai Auto removed the locknut from the bolt. He also said it seems like they used an impact to remove it, which most likely resulted in the stripping. Furthermore, he said the Rack does not have to be removed to change the bolt. At this point, Im very upset. I don't understand what went wrong when they were doing my alignment, but something did and I'm being billed for their screw up. This company has no conscience about billing customers $800 for an alignment job. Right on, Angel. read more

Knowledgeable, courteous, and fair pricing. We are now taking all of our vehicles to Kauai Auto Repair for maintenance and repair work.

Angel and his team were truly our saving grace on the Friday afternoon before Christmas. Inconveniently, the truck we were borrowing decided it would not go into gear. We found Angel and his team less than 2 hours before closing. Not only did they get us back on the road, but drove us to a place where we could grab a bite while we waited. After fixing the problem, they also shared before and after pictures of the repair. I would highly recommend Kauai Auto Repair for their friendly, timely, and affordable services. read more

They ripped/broke pieces off one of my vehicles when I got it aligned. I thought it was a mistake and let it go and took my other vehicle in. Too bad this time with much worse results. My other vehicle is in much worse condition after they "tried" to work on it than it ever was before taking it into Kauai Auto Repair. Seems like they cut corners to try make money instead of putting quality work into their business and building trust...sad. They also laughed when they told me the outrageous extra amount it would take to fix now. What a waste of expensive equipment when the right people aren't behind it. read more
