    Went for a battery light, and overheating car. Diagnosed it quick took care of my light no charge and were great working me on the replacement of my radiator fan. Highly recommended. Price wasn't bad either!!

    UPDATE: Ron fixed my vehicle, it appeared to be a faulty new part. I appreciate them fix the issue, it took me calling them several times. The biggest issue was the communication. No one told me the hours they put into working on my vehicle to get it working until I talked to Ron himself. Very disappointed. I have been a loyal customer of there's for about 5 years, letting all my friends and family know this is the place to go. I have always brought them all my cars even brought them my 56 Chevy to be worked on. I was hooked the first time I ever went there they cleared my codes on my car for free. Fast forward to now the last two experiences let a sour taste in my mouth. I have a code reader and I already knew what the issue was a misfire in cylinder 2. So I let them know this is the issue the vehicle is jerking. RNS let's me know yes so we have to change spark plugs and coil packs for atleast 3 cylinders and I order to do that they have to take manifold off and change that gasket. They told me it would cost about $730 to do all the work. I was like ok I get it is a big job. So RNS does the job they call and say that will be $890.00, I was like wait what how did it go up in price. RNS says oh tax's and gave me a list of about four different shop fees after doing math it still never made sense. After priying they said oh and we notice air filter was dirty so we changed it with out asking and decided to charge you for it without letting you know. RNS said to me we also notice your bumper was loose so they related they secured it for me (I am thinking yay that is the RNS I know) fast forward to pick up they drilled two wood screws in to my body that will rust. I never gave them permission to damage the outside of my body with woods screws that is not how to properly secure a bumper. On top of seeing other scratch marks on the bumper. They also told me that my battery needs to be changed and they could do it for 160$ because it is the wrong battery. Negative I bought that battery at oreillys and verified it is the right battery. (Shady) What ever at this point I just decide to pay and take my car. Half way home the check engine light goes on and it starts shaking again (Problem not fixed). I take it back to RNS they clear the code and tell me they don't notice the issue, I come back after they are closed and start my car it is still shaking and before I make it to Kaapa quarry the check engine light is on again. Same issue they supposedly fixed. I am so disappointed I don't know what happened to this once great shop that has now went down hill I do not have time to run my car back in fourth to them any more I have a 2 jobs and 2 kids and they never answer the phone. I guess it goes to say if you want something done right do it your self I am no longer sending anyone I know back here. Ron what is going on with your shop.

    Did my safety check in a short amount of time. Very convenient. Only downside is the lack of parking.

    .Ron's team stayed with it until the problem was fixed, even paying for another compressor to replace the first one

    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 had such a great experience with this AC shop. The first shop I went to turned me away twice, so…read moreI was really grateful when I called here and was told I could come right over. Thankfully, they weren't too far away. When I arrived, the gentleman immediately welcomed me, pulled my van into the shop, and started diagnosing the issue. The customer service I received was exceptional, and I truly appreciate how helpful and accommodating they were. I'm looking forward to having them service my vehicle and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for honest and great customer service. I also want to add that while my van was being diagnosed, the gentleman noticed my coolant was low and took the time to add more coolant for me. I truly appreciate that extra step. It showed me that they genuinely care about their customers and are willing to help beyond just the service they're providing. Small acts like that really stand out and mean a lot. Thank you for your kindness and for going above and beyond. I wanted to come back and update my review now that everything has been completed. I picked up my van, and the AC is working great! The repair was completed, and I'm very happy with the results. The final price was reasonable for the amount of labor involved, and I appreciate the work that was done. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and look forward to bringing my van here again for future repairs and maintenance. Thank you, Auto Papa, for getting my AC back up and running!

ALL 3 of the employees on the premises avoided me. No one even bothered to look at me. I tried to approach nicely saying excuse me, and all of them don't talk back. They just gesture their hands at me to go away. Like I am seriously shocked... Horrible service. To note, I did go to the office first because I read the sign. But no one was there and I waited with no one coming in to help me. So that is when I tried to ask the employees. I've never been here before so I wasn't sure if someone knew I was waiting since I had no appointment, per the phone call. Well, now I know to never come here.
