    Oil drain plug

    If you want HONEST WORK you go to Lims. The oil drain plug bolt in my car was stripped and I couldn't get it out. It was my first time going here and Steve took the time to help me. He was friendly and listened to my problem. Only charged me for labor (as I brought my own supplies for the oil change). I would definitely go back here for any other problems with my car.

    I was referred to Sonny and his team after the icons in the dash of my teenaged Prius lit up almost all at once. The worst was when the battery light came on right after I hung up the phone. Called them back and they assured me it should still be ok to drive and gave me directions to their location. I waited in their little air-conditioned office space and hung out with Sugar, a very curious and friendly boy kitty. Long story short, they couldn't help me fix my car, but they were very kind and gracious and did not treat me like I was a waste of their time. Everybody treated me with courtesy and I really appreciate that. They didn't charge me for the testing they did and Sonny even suggested going to Masaki's! I really appreciate that they really wanted to help me, and I am now a fan. Support them!!

    See all

    Thank you for replying to me . You guys did what I wanted …read more I made humbug because of the brake fluid that's all . Your service advisor and the young lady that helped me kudos to you guys for doing a great job . And I just wanted to apologize for making humbug, sometimes I get paranoid about things .I just wanted to make sure I find someone i can trust working on my vehicle I hope in the future I can come back and I promise i will not make humbug and just let you guys do what you do no questions asked Thank you .

    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!!

Having it repaired correctly and safely meant everything to us. What was supposed to be a repair lasting just a few hours turned into a three-day job because new issues kept coming up. Throughout the entire process, Kaleo remained patient, honest, and committed to doing the job right. I stayed during the repair because I wanted to understand what was being done and he welcomed my questions. He took the time to explain each step and was completely transparent about the work and the challenges he encountered. In addition to providing exceptional service, Kaleo's pricing was fair and affordable. He truly embodies the aloha spirit, treating his customers with kindness, respect, and genuine care. If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, affordable, and dependable mobile mechanic, I highly recommend him. We will definitely be calling him again for any future repairs. Mahalo Kaleo for going above and beyond to keep our family safely on the road!

Total cost: all below market for labor and parts Approximate time spent - well below the time spent by any mechanic shop, dealer, or servicing center. Kaleo discovered a crack in a power steering hose that had been leaking all over my driveway, changed the hose, and we made another appointment for a more lengthy, complex job. I appreciate being able to trust that Kaleo gets the work done or investigates the reason for a problem, and within a reasonable charge - difficult to find.

They took a look at my car, noted a few other things that needed attention, provided recommendations, and provided a price quote which required approval before proceeding with any work. After issues were identified, they were honest when explaining what was truly necessary versus what was simply a "nice to have". This is particularly helpful when you're on a budget as car repair costs can really add up quickly! I was able to schedule my car drop-off ahead of time, which was super convenient since their location is a bit cramped (right off the highway off-ramp next to Seafood Cartel). This made drop-off and pick-up so much smoother. Fair quotes, great communication, and trustworthy service all around. Recommended if you're in the Salt Lake, Aiea or Pearl City area! P.S. They also do safety checks! I was able to schedule an appointment ahead of time and they completed it within 15 minutes while I waited in their office.
