    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.

    Tenn's absolutely saved the day for me! I originally took my car to the Firestone on Hamakua Drive…read morefor a power steering fluid change ($449) and a radiator coolant exchange ($148). When I got home, I noticed power steering fluid leaking onto my carport and saw the fluid level was at the absolute minimum. I went back to Firestone, and they told me they hadn't actually changed the fluid, but rather replaced a leaky hose. They then claimed the low fluid was due to a bad power steering pump and quoted me an additional $900 to replace it. It just didn't sound right, and I felt they were being dishonest. I took my car to Tenn's for a second opinion and showed them the Firestone invoice. Tenn's quickly found the real issue: two entirely different power steering hoses were leaking. They replaced them, and now my steering is perfect with zero leaks. On top of that, Tenn's inspected my coolant system and found both the radiator and reservoir levels were dangerously low because Firestone failed to properly refill the antifreeze after their flush. Tenn's pressure-tested the system and topped off the fluids for me. Mahalo to Tenn's--they are honest mechanics you can actually trust!

I also got help when my a/c failed and they were able to keep my a/c going without a lot more expense on my part. But then my 2010 PT Cruiser seemed to have some serious problems about 4 months ago --initially a dead battery which was replaced on 10/17/25 --but then my car died again within a month and was towed back to Tenn's with what I was told was an anti-theft problem with the key setting off the car's alarm system. Then my car sat for 5 WEEKS while nothing was done until around 12/23/25. I kept calling for updates every week and would be told by the front office staff that they were "short-staffed" and just needed "another week". I also talked directly to the mechanic (Blake) who told me that the car was actually running but he hadn't had time to really investigate what was going on but that he would be able to set aside a few hours before Christmas to figure out what was going on with my car. In the end, the only thing the mechanic could do was put in a temporary battery disconnect system to bypass the key setting off the alarm when I tried to open the car door or turn on the ignition. Except it didn't really work. I texted Blake right after I got my car home and he suggested I wait longer than 5-10 minutes to reset the battery; I should try waiting 15 or 20 minutes. I waited an hour. I tried the next day and the next. I got my car to work once or twice in the next 5 days. But not after that. Tenn's was closed for the holidays until 1/6/26. There was never a way to leave a phone message and my texts to the number that I had previously texted went unanswered. Eventually, I decided to sell my much-loved car for parts since it wasn't running. Two different people showed up who looked at the temporary battery disconnect lever and they were each rather surprised at how it had been installed since it was 1) on the positive battery terminal rather than the negative and 2) it was loose and so close to the metal frame of the car. Evidently this was a risky situation for creating a spark and potential fire each time I used the car. The Tenn's mechanic said on my receipt that my car needed parts that weren't available from their vendor or the dealership (SKIM and PCM module) but as it turned out, I sold my car to someone who was a very experienced mechanic who replaced the worn ignition and got the car running again. It didn't need the two modules that were recommended at all. I'm still really upset because I don't think the Tenn's mechanic knew what he was doing at all but he never gave me the option of taking my car elsewhere; instead he put in a potentially very dangerous and completely inefficient "solution"; wasted a lot of my time and money but most important of all, he undermined my confidence in mechanics in general and Tenn's in particular.

Amin took care of me by asking me questions, testing out my car, and explaining possibilities of what could be causing the issue. The challenge is that it is intermittent and it's difficult to reproduce. He did his best to try and replicate it, but wasn't able to. Although I took some of his time to look at my car, he didn't charge me anything as diagnostics didn't need to be run due to no engine light appearing. I truly appreciate the support he provided, top notch. And they are easy to reach out using Yelp messages (just make sure that it sends properly). Thank you, Amin.

It's missing vinyl film shields on one side, but they left them on the other side so I don't know what happened there. They didn't color match evidence is in the picture there's clearly a line of the two different colors and I can't believe they didn't wash the truck after they finished painting it. The truck also has a weird odor inside. I'm not sure why. When I asked how much it would be to paint the roof it was first $700 then when I agreed to the 3 panels I told him I'd pay for the top on my own dime the price went up over double $1500 for 1 panel. SMH never again. So for 3 panels one being the truck bed it was $1900 then to paint 1 more panel the roof was an extra $1500 just doesn't add up
