I had a problem with my Mazda 5's starter (worked intermittently) and took it to Tony's Autowerks. Tony analyzed the problem and replaced the starter that day and I was right back on the road. Six weeks later, the car wouldn't start. AAA towed the car up to Tony's. Tony was there to assure me he would diagnose and fix the problem. Sure enough, a wire had somehow come loose and Tony had the car ready in a few hours. The real test of a business is how it stands behind its work when something goes wrong. Tony didn't hesitate to repair the problem and I am back on the road. There was no hesitation in correcting the problem. Although I am a new customer at Tony's , I am treated like a long-term, valued client and greeted/welcomed like an ohana member. Bravo! read more

My wife brought her car in here when I was out of town. Long story short they gave her a $5-$6,000 estimate. When I got back I took it to Clyde's and walked out with a $1,400 bill. No doubt in my mind they would have done $5-$6k in unnecessary and overcharged work on her car had I not entered the picture. read more

Tony and his wife were awesome! They took my car same day I called - gave it a diagnosis, fixed it! Very helpful and my car is running great! read more

Tony and his crew operate like an old-school auto repair shop - Knowledgeable, skilled and respectful of customers that come to them for help. His diagnostic skills and on-point questions demonstrated his years of experience. I also witnessed his interaction with another mechanic where it became apparent his crew also possesses the same commitment to finding the problem so customers can get back on the road. In addition to fair pricing, he provided transparent estimates and billing. Tony was also accommodating in scheduling an appointment. I hope I won't need auto repair service in the near future. But I'm glad to know I can call on Tony's Autowerks! read more

We have been going to Tonys for several years now. He and his wife are the most honest people we have ever dealt with. And mind you, we are in our 50's. They're people who treat you like family. read more

Great shop and worked my vehicle in on short notice with no issues. I had a rebuilt alternator installed and they took the old one out and dropped it off for me after. Worked out well since the rebuild guy was two stalls down and didn't charge a core fee! Nice! Bonus, the shop followed up with me for a service via text. Definitely will keep in mind for next time. read more

Unsafe and mechanically not competent. I try to never give a bad review. They performed work on my 2000 Toyota RAV4, straightforward maintenance, timing belt, valve cover gasket and engine mounts. Car drove fine when I brought it in and now vibrates like crazy, misfires and they broke parts of the engine that were fine beforehand. They left MAJOR suspension bolts hanging loose, engine mount nut missing, intake hoses disconnected and not secured properly, throttle cable bolts were finger tight, wires misrouted, oil leaking from a $4 gasket that should have been changed while replacing the timing belt, broke both upper and lower timing cover mounting points, reinstalled the alternator incorrectly, failed to tell me there was oil in the spark plug cylinder (in order to save me money!) now I have to remove the valve cover again that they just replaced so I can reseal the valve tubes and it even appeared like they tried to cover up the alternator wires with plastic conduit to hide the alternator mounting issue when they had installed it incorrectly. I gave them a second chance to "make it right" after the oil leak showed up right after changing the timing belt but that led to them breaking the timing covers and not installing the bolt there, cus it's fine, as well as reinstalling the alternator wrong. My bad for expecting the mechanic to look at a Toyota manual, read the instructions and torque specs for bolts and mounting hardware and to make it right. $1700 later I need to replace the cheap motor mounts they installed so that the car will not vibrate like crazy, I reinstalled the alternator tension mount properly, secured the loose bolts, hoses and suspension components, will have to remove the valve cover myself or pay someone else to reseal the leaky spark plug tubes and replace the timing cover which is basically almost the same as changing the timing belt in hours. Tony bought me the replacement timing covers but couldn't spring for the cost of a valve cover gasket because he's "tapped out on the job". I liked Tony and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt as a small local business owner but his priority of making money seemed to overshadow actually fixing the car properly and competently the first (and second) time so he wouldn't be tapped out during a job. I am afraid that only time will tell how the timing belt will hold up and I'm sure that I will find a few more surprises when I get in there to repair the repairs. This RAV is new to me but had a very extensive single owner maintenance history except for the timing belt and now I feel as if it has been molested by a mechanic that really didn't care about my car. The first time my daughter drove the car after the repairs she called me after starting it and asked, "Dad what's wrong with the car? It's making all kinds of noises." So unfortunate. I sincerely hope that Tony is able to rectify his employee problems for his sake and reputation. He has a nice shop and all the tools anyone could ask for but the lack of execution and attention to detail was disturbing and unsafe. Please use your own judgement if considering this "mechanic" shop for your maintenance or repairs. Mahalo for your time in reading this. read more

See all

Found Tony's on Yelp and fully lived up to all the reviews. He was prompt to respond and guide me. I was able to drop the car and keys off overnight and he had my car fan looked at and fixed very promptly. Thank you so much!! read more

Got an oil/filter change. I assumed they were all around $40-$50 but boy was I so wrong! Total for an oil/filter change: $135.62. read more

Tonys Autowerks - RECEIPT FOR AN OIL/FILTER CHANGE! - Auto Repair Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

FYI, they do not do safety checks. He said he does but when I took my car in, he knew I would just have them fix my car since it was already there and then break it to me that they don't do safety checks. I wanted to get everything done at one place but instead, I had to find someone else to do my safety check. read more

Tony's been taking care of my car for the last several years. Always quick and professional. He'll LYK if there's anything that will need your attention in the near future too, which I find invaluable! 5 stars and 2 thumbs up for this company read more

Went in for a Safety Check and the employees were all very friendly. I went down a couple warehouses to grab coffee and when I came back my safety was done! Such quick service. Gotta love local auto shops, don't ever go to chain shops like Lex Brodies read more

Tony's Autowerks is a friendly, reliable, reputable, and honest family-owned business. I'm so fortunate to have Tony's near where in live in Kailua. I found Tony through a referral from another reputable, local mechanic. Was told that Tony was highly respected amongst other local mechanics and was likely able to help me replace my entire engine, work most places won't accommodate. He was upfront with me about the cost and timeframe of ordering the part and installation. I was entirely pleased with the work he did and plan on using him for all future work needed. He and his wife, Diana, are the nicest people. Me and my husband both agree. As you can see, he has many 5 star reviews for a reason. read more

Tony and his staff were friendly and accommodating. I was actually referred to him by another mechanic in town since they could not provide service. Tony's was able to get me an appointment promptly and finished when they said that they would. My car runs great! I will go to them in the future and highly recommend them to anyone I know who needs auto work performed. read more

Tony and his whole crew are Allstars. They gave me great service and took care of all my needs.

Definitely the best in the island! Tony is super knowledgeable, nice and prives are very fair

Tony is honest and reliable, number one pick for my car work. He's always able to squeeze my car work in and gets the job done at reasonable prices. Highly recommend. read more

Great fast friendly reasonable service with a family feel. Glad to have found this place. Replaced my battery in no time.

Tony is always reliable and fair with his pricing Fast service Good staff Always recommend friends there read more

I needed to get a safety check completed on my vehicle. There are very few shops in Kailua who do this without an appointment but Tony's Autowerks was able to fit me in and took great care of me! They're definitely worth the drive! read more

Tony is the BEST AUTO MECHANIC ON THE WINDWARD SIDE!!! I have been to Tony's Autowerks several times now, and Tony has always offered service beyond the call and low prices with integrity and honesty! CAN'T BEAT THAT! This last time was 2 days ago, on October 11th. My driver door could not open! Tony not only fixed that the same day, but he also (unasked) fixed my broken door handle on the inside which I had kept working by the official non-mechanic's main tool, DUCT TAPE! Tony put in a new system and screwed in a solid mechanism to hold the door securely so I can pull it firmly and close the door... no extra charge!!! THANKS TONY FOR ALWAYS GOING BEYOND THE CALL, SAVING US MONEY, AND PERSONALLY HELPING US WITH A SMILE! GOD BLESS YOU AND DI AND FAMILY! PASTOR WARREN read more

8 Oct 2021 Driving along when all of a sudden the battery warning light comes on. Thankfully I was in Kailua so I quickly headed over to Tony - bad alternator after 130,000 miles, can't complain. Got it replaced and back on the road in one day at a fair price. It's easy to see why Tony's is rated 5 stars! read more

I asked some friends for recommendations to get my truck repaired. Out of all the recommendations I got, only Tony's Autowerks and one other company replied to my phone calls or emails requesting a quote. The other guys said "they didn't do that kind of repair". Tony gave me a quote that was less than half of the dealer's quote (I don't think they wanted the job, as they quoted me for a new rear axle and not just the bearings that needed replacing). Tony had me drop off my vehicle and a week later, I had my truck back running as good as new. Now when I'm asked for an auto repair shop, my recommendation will be Tony's Autowerks. Job well done! Thank you. read more

My locks were failing and I came across Tony's Autowerks through Yelp. I was impressed by the reviews and decided to give him a try. From the first phone call to the very end I was beyond impressed with Tony and his staff! Everything about him and his business was honest and real! He didn't a fantastic job at a fair price. He even did a few minor things for me that I asked him to in addition. I will go to him from now on!! It was hard to find him though. I used the map (go up the quarry road). When you get there, just go straight to the very end and he is on the right side at the very end. It's easy if you know where to go. A++++ Mahalo Tony and the wonderful lady who helped me as well ‿ read more

Tony an his wife and staff were kind , professional, fix my brakes really good with a fare pice I'm going back if anything thing else I need to repair read more

Wow Tony is so lucky to have Kaleo a wonderful helpful girl taking calls... And in my case getting back to me just to find out how me and my SUV were doing!! I took my 2003 4Runner to get a new tail light cover. After that on the same day my blinkers and tail lights wouldn't work, then AC shut down, then couldn't drive because the alternator and battery went!!! No one had time to work on it before Thanksgiving, But Tony answered his phone late and I made an appointment. His front girl Kaleo called to ask me how it was going because I wound up using another mechanic But this kind customer service is rare in Hawaii. Kaleo And Tony CARE about you and your car!! MAHALO 71 yr age Kailua girl will use TONY's from now on!!! read more

I had a dead battery this morning and had a busy day scheduled ahead of me. While waiting for Allstate Auto Care to come jump start me, I started calling around to get a new battery installed. The friendliness and professionalism that I received on the phone from Tonys Autowerks was amazing! They had me come in and immediately took care of my problem. I was so impressed and look forward to using them again whenever I need to have my car serviced. Mahalo !! read more

My first review on Yelp, after years of using the app. Tony and family are true small business professionals. Experts at what they do, and so accommodating. They went above and beyond to serve my needs and schedule. Very pleased indeed. A hidden gem in the heart of Kailua. To no fault of their own, please call the shop ahead of time, for actual directions, as Yelp still marks their address on their map, incorrectly. -Roy read more

This place is great. They are honest and did great work, I will use Tony's for any car repairs I need.

After a bad experience at the Firestone on MCBH, I found Tony's Autowerks on yelp. This is my second time here and they have been amazing. I've had my routine oil changes and checkups here and they've always been so kind, accomodating, and reasonably priced. I love that they are Christian folks with good honest hearts. They'll let me know if anything is wrong with my vehicle but will not pressure me to have it fixed by them. They give me advice and try to help where possible. I won't go anywhere else for car work! read more

Gotta love this shop. Great mechanics that are very knowledgeable, friendly and treat you like part of their family. I've been coming here from some time now and they've always performed quality work and my vehicles have been serviced in a timely manner at a reasonable price. I even got the deals! Check out Tony, Diana, Carlos and the boys for any of your car repair/maintenance needs. Tell em Josh sent you..lol Have a great day, Aloha read more

Tonys Autowerks - East sides finest!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Absolutely loved Tony's Autowerks! By far the best shop I've been to honestly. I highly recommend going here. Friendly service and amazing job fixing my car. read more

Tony is a standup guy. As a female I often find myself feeling like I am being taken advantage of, or lied to in an auto shop. This is not the case here. Tony (and his wife) really care about giving your car what it needs and you feel at ease in his presence. He did some extra little things for my car while it was being serviced by his technician at no cost to me. I left knowing that this is my new mechanic. I had finally found the spot. This place is clean! Maybe that isn't a requirement when looking for your mechanic. Just thought it was worth mentioning. I surely appreciated leaving he place without feeling like a layer of oily goop was on my person! Hahaha! Coming back soon for front brakes and the things that he found when he ran my diagnostic. Again no extra charge for running a check, just part of his excellent service. Give this place a try, you will be happy you did. read more

Had my car serviced here because of all the great reviews on Yelp. I expected based on the reviews a great experience and that is just what I got. Tony was personable and professional. I had a lot of work done to my car and all of it was done to the highest standard. read more

It's so hard finding a mechanic that you can trust. Two years ago I found this auto shop randomly through Yelp and it was the BEST luck ever. Tony and his wife Di are amazing! They're fair and helpful and are amazingly nice people. They got to know me and were always there when my car had its many problems. Every time I compared their prices to larger companies they were less expensive and you won't get the same personal relationship that you do with them. I'd recommend them any day to all my friends. Great service and even better people. read more

Thank you to Tony and Di for their help getting me out a a car jam. Also, mahalo to the other Yelpers for the reviews leading me to this great shop. Not only did they fix the problem I came in with, but they also found a belt that was ready to break. I will be back to see these nice people! read more

We moved here from Miami Beach and did not have time to fix the breaks on our car before leaving. We were very afraid I'd get gouged on the repair cost in Hawaii with a new mechanic we had no relationship with. I found Tony's Autowerks on Yelp, he was close and had good reviews. He quoted the exact same price as our family mechanic had in Florida and fixed our breaks quickly. Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable. He will be our go-to mechanic from now on. He's earned a customer for life with us...Thanks again Tony! read more

I've been going to Tony with my cars for a couple years and I highly recommend this local, family-owned company! He's an actual honest mechanic who won't gouge your wallet and his wife Diana will give you a ride home anywhere in Kailua while your car gets fixed. read more

I called Tony and got a speedy reply and he came and picked my car up for me from work. WhichI had a broken tub on my antifreeze reservoir. He came back with the quote to replace the reservoir and I was please. Unfortunately he sent me another message with another quote saying the engine cooling fan in the front of the car was broken and probably cause the antifreeze tube to overheat and snap. I thought this was odd considering my car was not/nor had it ever overheated. I told him to just fix the reservoir and I'd take a look at the fan. I drove my car home and took a look under the hood and sure enough the fan kicked right on. I hate to say it but be careful, he tried taking advantage of a girl he thought didn't know anything about her car. read more

I would like to thank Tony and his crew at Tony's Autowerks. On May 4th, after 6 weeks off island, I returned to a 2008 Prius that would not run. Tony had replaced the hybrid motor in January so I called him. I had it towed to his shop so he could check it out. When the car got to him it started right up (magic??). He immediately informed me that the car was working fine. Since my husband and I were both under the mandatory 14 day self-quarantine and he quickly offered to keep the car at his shop until we could pick it up. He ended up keeping the car for over a week during which he continued to check it to make sure it was ok. He did not charge me for either the diagnostics that he did or the time he stored the car for me. That's what I call "Aloha!" Mahalo Nui Tony! read more
