Charles is the man! I had never used a mobile repair service before I reached Charles to provide a…read morefix for my headlamp. The brick & mortar shops were all giving me the run around and never could provide me with a quote to address the problem with my headlight. I figured my ballast was bad in the headlight however, it wasn't until Charles pulled the headlight did I see that rain and condensation had ruined the ballast and water literally poured out. The headlight configuration on my car didn't allow Charles to remove and replace the ballast without taking the plastic headlight cover off the car. Factory alterations are something he told me upfront he doesn't do, so we decide the best approach was to get a headlamp unit assembly replacement. Charles had quoted me a flat rate of $300 to replace the ballast which included removing part of the front bumper to access the headlamp unit in my car. Since he couldn't replace the ballast with the new one I provided, he put everything back together, charged me only $200 and told me he would come back out after I got the new headlamp and would only charge me the remainder of $100 on the original quote which I felt was more than fair since he essentially would be doing the same job again. I finally got the new headlamp assembly abut 1.5 weeks later, and texted Charles who immediately acknowledged my message and gave me a day he could come back and finish the job. He actually completed the job within 30-40 minutes and everything worked great, headlight is perfect. I can't say enough about how fair Charles is. He quotes you a flat rate for the services you need. He's a great guy, easy going and doesn't waste time, he gets right to work and gets the job done. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs mobile work at their home or place of business, I know I will be using him again. If you're tired of getting jacked up estimates from one of these shops and feel the inconvenience of having to drive to their place of business, Charles will bring his mobile services to you for a fraction of the cost!

So I really didn't want to write this complaint but It's been over 2 months now since I've been…read moretexting you, asking you to come over and repair the damaged you caused while changing my AC compressor for my wife's 2006 Toyota Highlander! So when you damaged the engine block back in October 1, 2025 and took 3 months to try and repair it... The oil is STILL leaking from the cracked AC bracket on the engine block after you said that you repaired it! I KNOW that you're receiving my text messages and you STILL don't call or respond! I've been so patient with you but since you're not responding or answering me, I called https://cca.hawaii.gov/rico/ RICO office to File a complaint against you and your company! The RICO Agent told me that you're NOT even A CERTIFIED LICENSED MACHANIC!!! The RICO Agent also filed my call. I guess it's my fault for not checking your background! Nevertheless, anyone who's operating a business in Hawaii, as a business owner, it's your responsibility to ensure and stand by your work! My wife's Highlander can't be driven and now NEEDS another Engine replacement! I've attached the video of the damage that you caused back in October 1, 2025... So I always like to support Local Businesses like yours and TOTALLY BUMMED THAT because I didn't check to see if you were a Certified Licensed Machanic, I LOST THE USE OF OUR HIGHLANDER and will need to get another replacement engine that might cost $5,000-$6,000.!!! ADVICE TO EVERYONE: Always check that the company you use is a Certified and Licensed person or Company to do the work they advertise!

First of all, I would like to say the ONLY reason I decided to go with Pearl City Auto Works was…read morebecause they had 5 star reviews. After my experience with them, they deserve a 1 star. If I could I would give them a 0. 2 and a half years ago, I took my car to Pearl City Auto Works for a brake job. It cost me almost $5k to do it. Now they told me I gotta spend another $2400 to fix the same problem. My other half and I talked business with the owner's daughter Shay Nakamura about the situation and asked certain questions and she couldn't give any feedback to the situation at hand. She tried to give me a discount, but I don't think it was enough, considering I know for a fact they are charging me 3-4x the actual cost for the parts and then will eventually get more money back because of the cores. I text the number they text me with explaining my situation and there were no response. 2 phone numbers they text me from I left a text message, no response. That right there shows me that that they have poor communication skills. Communication was done with text. To be honest, I prefer real conversation with a person/company. I believe that they either did a poor job 2 and a half years ago or the quality of parts they used suck!! I got ripped off the first time and they tried to do that again the second time around. NEVER again will I do business with them!!

I need it working as soon as possible and Capitol Auto told me they didn't do transmission repair. They referred me to another business but they wouldn't be able to take me for over a week. I found a place that said they would take it that day and areanged a tow. The tow truck driver told me it wasn't a transmission problem which was good news. Still, I sent it to the shop I had made arrangements with. They took my truck in and called to tell me that it would cost, "at least $3,000" because they were going to have to rebuild the whole back end. It was Friday and they told me they would give me a better estimate on Monday. On Saturday, I received a quote via text for $1,600 which included a $300 diagnostic fee. Anyway, I paid the $300 and had my truck towed to Capitol Auto. They checked it out and found a cable that had come loose. They connected and secured it and road tested the truck. They found no other problems. I asked how much my bill was going to be and they did not charge me! Who could ask for more! Capitol Auto is simply amazing! I plan to continue using their services for many years to come and highly recommend them.
