Love Oscar's! Can't think of a better auto service. Been a return customer for almost 20 years. Pulled in for a Safety Check mid afternoon. Needed tires too. They were able to service all - same day and at a reasonable price. I trust Oscar's. They aren't like other places that have hidden costs nor do they charge crazy high labor prices. These guys know their business: fair prices, friendly and fast service. As a side note, I forgot my company key on the side counter when I checked out. It took me a week to remember I left it there. I called and was happy when I found that they saved it for me. One week later! Ty Oscar's! Your thoughtfulness saved me again! Much Mahalo! read more

Mike was super friendly and awesome to work with. He helped me with my 25,000 mile check, and the whole process was quick, easy, and affordable. There was no hassle at all. I highly recommend him if you're looking for fast and friendly service! read more

Honestly the best sincere auto service shop we've been to on the island. Not trying to rip anyone off. Mahalo Oscar's Auto Service!! Big shout out to braddah Hector for taking care of our repairs!! read more

I've been going to Oscar's for the last 5 to 6 yrs now, by recommendation from my son-in-law. From my first time there, to today, Oscar's is the best! Always friendly and quick service. Even at times when I opt to just drop off my car, and get called when service was done. They are honest and always recommend only what's needed. There were even a couple of instances that they could not fix a certain issue and suggested I take it back to the dealership. It was nice to see they don't just "try" to fix it to get the sale, and will give the best recommendation even if it means referring you somewhere else. The couple of times I did need repairs, very reasonable prices! Oscar's will be my auto shop for years to come! read more

Stopped there twice for a safety check. The first time I was advised by the mechanic that I did not need it done until the next month, which I appreciated. It saved me a month. In doing so, he noticed a crack in my front left blinker, which I got changed during the buffer month I had. When I went back to get my safety check, I was met with an equally friendly mechanic that performed it very timely. The whole experience was very pleasant and not stressful at all, which honestly I have felt at other shops, even for something as simple as a safety check. The price was as expected. I may consider this shop for actual mechanical stuff on my FJ. read more

This is my first time coming here. I needed a safety check. They were busy but there is a comfy place to sit and bathrooms. At first I was a lil nervous being by myself in an industrial area but it was fine! Very friendly, professional and honest guys! They show you what is wrong before they fix it. They will recommend something else which is the a more affordable option, if possible. I highly recommend Oscar's as a woman going to an auto shop alone. read more

I was referred by a coworker and she raved how awesome this place was and while she was telling me how good they were, I honestly didn't believe her. It just sounded too good to be true...until I went there and witnessed it myself. Talk about professional, honest, and just all around good people! Wish they were all like Oscar's! I'm a customer for life! Mahalos Oscar's Auto Service! read more

Almost want to keep this place a secret. I've been coming to Oscar's for many years for all my car issues. I've even moved away from the area, but I continue to bring my car here because the employees are honest and hardworking. I trust them fully. I never felt "tricked" or coerced to spend more than I needed to. Like other reviewers have said, if they can't fix something, they will recommend somewhere else or recommend a more affordable option. Walk-ins are almost always welcome; however, I recommend calling ahead because they can get busy later in the day. Mike, Dario, and Hector have alway been so helpful! Thank you Oscar's Auto Service! read more

Update Sorry should have completed this updated review a while ago! Ford 2003 F-150 22 year old, high original 94000 miles needed full front & back brake services. Hector took charge and completed the job! Completed in a timely manner and in the best cost possible! Kept me updated if anything came up & when the job to be completed. Again, 22 year old F-150, normal wear & tear! Oscar (owner) has a great team, highly recommended! read more

Just went here for the second time doing my safety check and they were nice. I like supporting local businesses. I did a walk in so I had to wait. read more

They're located at the corner of Mokauea Street and Hart Street, near Ross Appliance. Sometimes, they get pretty busy so get there early. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff who took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the recommended services. The transparency and honesty displayed by the team instilled a sense of trust, making me feel confident that my car was in good hands. Oscar, the owner is very easy to work with. His staff knows a lot and is very courteous. The facility is fairly clean for being a repair shop. Cars in need of service are organized and not just scattered all over like some other shops. As far as pricing, Oscar's is fair. The service is well worth it. I've recommended this place to my work and a few of my friends who need services. They have a full list of services from repairs, saftey checks and diagnostics. Only place I'll be coming to for repairs from now on! read more

Amazing. Walk-in for safety. I'm and out. We take both our jeeps there. Great customer service. Been going here for 4 years since we arrived to island. read more

Hector and company always welcome me. So it's appreciated when it's always stressful going through car troubles.

I've been going here every year since for my safety check. I usually get lucky and arrive there without having to wait in line. Yes, it can get busy. But when your time comes, one of the guys there will greet you and assist you. Then give you directions on what to do. Quick, easy, and 100% legit. Great service goes a long way! Tip them if you can!

I took my truck to jay, and he was very professional. Hands down the best shop in kalihi. IMO...

I've been going to Oscar's for years because service is always great and I trust their service.

Great service and honest! The mechanics are very helpful and knowledgeable. In emergencies, they are quick to help despite being very busy.

Awesome Awesome Awesome!! Safety Inspection Time!! Pulled in, parked and someone came over and asked what I needed. That is what I call great attention to customer service. Beside being polite and welcoming they took care of the whole safety inspection process. They needed to change the blinker bulbs and did so in a timely manner. Paid $52.00 for the safety check and to change the blinkers to stock. read more

I have been seeing other mechanics that are good too, BUT, my car was still giving me issues. Ford Escape, would just shut down anywhere I was, electrical no nothing, I cannot even put on the emergency lights because it is DEAD! Being stuck on the Kuhio St. traffic signal, on-ramp by Maryknoll HS, amongst others, sought major help and de-stressing. After going through some of those that fixed my car before, my daughter Jenn (IEH Towing-gratuitous) plug, she said to see her friend at Oscar's, their friend Hector. Wanted it fixed so, let's go! Hector did a bang-up job, replacing a burned-out sensor and a major leak, it worked well and felt good...Drove around went home, and 60m. later, the car dies again, Omy. Messaged Hector, he was not sure but brought it back a couple of days later. After talking with Hector, he went to work and did a lot of troubleshooting and Boom, found the problems, all electrical by the battery case to the main fuse box, burned-out fuses, ran his tests, road tested and it ran like a champ. After all this time, it started running great!!! MAHALO Hector for your patience and expertise!!! I found my go-to place to get my car taken care of. We brought our 2nd car here too, and Hector fixed that car too, and now it is running like BRAND NEW!!! Thanks, Hector, go to Oscars!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Upon the recommendation of a friend I went to Oscar's to check an engine light that came on. They did the check for free and gave me the codes of what was potentially wrong and reset my engine light. Told me to come back if the light came back on. Well, within a few minutes after leaving the place and after filling up gas, the car stalled when I started up the engine and the light came on again. I was fortunately able to start the car after a couple of tries and brought the car back the next day and left it there for a deeper check. After a day of not hearing I called back and another guy who was assigned to fixing my car, spoke to me on the phone and asked me some questions in order to better understand what was wrong. I called back the next day to find out about the progress and they said they were searching for a part from the dealer. Long story short, they fixed the problem but you may need to follow up with them if you don't hear back and if you need to get the car back before a long weekend or make arrangements to have someone drive you there to pick up the car like I did. I bought my car used, only 47k miles 3 years old and this wasn't a major fix but it cost me $370 nevertheless. Oscar and his staff, Ethan and Mike are very nice but they are also busy so be patient but nudge nicely if you need to and they will come through. Appointments are recommended but if you get there before they open, they will take you but not guaranteed when the service will be done. read more

Awesome shop if you need a Safety Check! No appointment necessary and our truck was done really fast! We highly recommend Oscar's Auto Service now our favorite Safety Check Station! read more

I didn't know my sticker expires this month, and I needed a safety check.. stat. Its been years since I last lived in town, and my go-to auto shop had closed down years ago. I didn't know where to go! My cousin overheard my woes, and told me to stop by at Oscar's on my way in before work. I had not heard of Oscar's, so I looked them up and bookmarked the page in my *Yelp. I decided to stop in one morning after running some errands, since I was in the area. I was a little confused with the driveway situation, since what appeared to be the "entrance" side was completely blocked up with cars. I made a U-turn and entered the "exit" side and parked parallel to the area that looked like it may have been the pumps. I asked one of the workers if it was okay for me to park there for a safety check and he said it was fine and to go check in my car. I went into the shop, where there were two other individuals waiting. I was able to speak to a guy who took my key and all my registration paperwork and said there was 1 person ahead of me. Before I knew it, the safety check ahead of me was done and it was my turn. The job was done quickly and from what I could tell, rather thoroughly. I was rung up by none other than the owner himself, Oscar! He told me that my car passed, but there is a little rattling intermittent sound. I asked if their shop does repairs, he said yes, but transmissions they don't. I found my new go-to garage for safety check! read more

I needed a last minute oil change and safety check. I had no prior appointments and just did a walk in. Ethan was nice and friendly to take in the car and was quick and efficient. I will be going to Oscars for future car related services. read more

All around excellent Auto Service Company . I've gotten my safety checks done here for years . Other family's use Oscars as their go to service spot . My car knock on wood hasn't had the need . Honest and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Oscars to anyone in need of good old fashioned hard working mechanics that fix things the first time and don't try to rob you in the process . 5 star all the way read more

Super friendly staff, took me right away without an appt. Was in n out in 15 mins for a safety check. Organized and efficient.

Stopped by to have a strange noise checked and got a quick diagnosis. This is my second visit here for work and the customer service has been phenomenal both times. What makes Oscar's my go to shop is they don't stop working for you when you leave. I got a call about an hour after I left from Hector who had done more research on my car and the problem to find out there may be secondary issues related to my issue. Mahalo Nui guys! read more

Been coming to these guys for awhile. In fact earlier this year I needed a starter & it was fixed promptly & professionally. Just today I had a problem turns out I had vacuum leak due to a broken rubber hose coupler. Maybe 30 minutes tops & I was on the road. Would have cost me way more time & way more $$ if I had gone to a dealer. These guys are great, friendly & professional. I met Oscar himself on my earlier visit but it was Bryan who was the main man both times who take care of my problems. Mahalo! read more
