    Nissan Pathfinder

    I requested service today for my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder but was told that this shop does not work on vehicles older than 2010. Do not recommend this shop. There are much better mechanics around that will help you fix your used vehicle.

    Wanna know "WAI" I choose..."WAI"pio Auto Repair? Because my husband has been comin' here for many years and he trusts them. He started coming here for regular oil changes since his car was no longer being serviced by the dealership. However, there was a time when the car was making a weird noise, so he scheduled an appointment for WAR to check it. They couldn't find the problem that day, and so they suggested to keep it overnight. They looked at the car the next day and drove it around. Everything looked ok and they couldn't find the problem. When my husband picked up the car, they told him there was no charge for their service. Wow, that is unheard of! My husband felt really uncomfortable for not paying , so we decided to gift them with a local kine snack basket as a thank you. We dropped it off the next day and they were so grateful. There was another time we needed help from WAR. I had just taken my car in to the dealership for my scheduled service and maintenance. I told the dealership that my breaks were making a screeching sound. They checked it and told me that my brakes needed to be replaced. The dealership give me a quote and it was pretty steep. I was a little disappointed with their quote so I called me husband. After we talked, he called WAR for a quote just to compare. Within an hour, we got a quote. Their quote was slightly cheaper than the dealership. My husband and I decided to schedule an appointment for them to check it and give us a diagnosis. I brought it in and they told me that my breaks were fine and I didn't need to replace them right now. Omgee! At least they were honest, unlike the dealership! Thank goodness for honesty! Last week, I scheduled an oil change for my daughter's car and a courtesy shuttle service for myself. When I brought in the car today, Luzcille (owner) helped check me in. After I signed some forms, she was so nice enough to drop me off at Costco. On the way there, we had a nice conversation. An hour later, the car was ready so Luzcille came back to pick me up. Thanks, for the ride and pleasant conversation! Thank you very much WAR for...ALWAYS treating my husband and I with...OUTSTANDING and HONEST service! So, if you are looking for a quality, reliable and honest auto repair shop, drive on down to WAR in WAIpio. You'll thank me for that!

    Aloha! Do you work with catalytic converters?

    Yes, we can help with catalytic converter issues.

    Do you do safety inspections? If so, is it by appointment only or walk-in?

    At this time, we are not offering the state required safety inspection.

    How much does an oil change cost?

    Depends on the type of oil (full synthetic or conventional) and how much. For up to 5 quarts of conventional oil, you're looking at around $67. For up to 5 quarts of full synthetic you're looking at around $95. All oil services include filter and…

The brick & mortar shops were all giving me the run around and never could provide me with a quote to address the problem with my headlight. I figured my ballast was bad in the headlight however, it wasn't until Charles pulled the headlight did I see that rain and condensation had ruined the ballast and water literally poured out. The headlight configuration on my car didn't allow Charles to remove and replace the ballast without taking the plastic headlight cover off the car. Factory alterations are something he told me upfront he doesn't do, so we decide the best approach was to get a headlamp unit assembly replacement. Charles had quoted me a flat rate of $300 to replace the ballast which included removing part of the front bumper to access the headlamp unit in my car. Since he couldn't replace the ballast with the new one I provided, he put everything back together, charged me only $200 and told me he would come back out after I got the new headlamp and would only charge me the remainder of $100 on the original quote which I felt was more than fair since he essentially would be doing the same job again. I finally got the new headlamp assembly abut 1.5 weeks later, and texted Charles who immediately acknowledged my message and gave me a day he could come back and finish the job. He actually completed the job within 30-40 minutes and everything worked great, headlight is perfect. I can't say enough about how fair Charles is. He quotes you a flat rate for the services you need. He's a great guy, easy going and doesn't waste time, he gets right to work and gets the job done. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs mobile work at their home or place of business, I know I will be using him again. If you're tired of getting jacked up estimates from one of these shops and feel the inconvenience of having to drive to their place of business, Charles will bring his mobile services to you for a fraction of the cost!

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 need it working as soon as possible and Capitol Auto told me they didn't do transmission repair. They referred me to another business but they wouldn't be able to take me for over a week. I found a place that said they would take it that day and areanged a tow. The tow truck driver told me it wasn't a transmission problem which was good news. Still, I sent it to the shop I had made arrangements with. They took my truck in and called to tell me that it would cost, "at least $3,000" because they were going to have to rebuild the whole back end. It was Friday and they told me they would give me a better estimate on Monday. On Saturday, I received a quote via text for $1,600 which included a $300 diagnostic fee. Anyway, I paid the $300 and had my truck towed to Capitol Auto. They checked it out and found a cable that had come loose. They connected and secured it and road tested the truck. They found no other problems. I asked how much my bill was going to be and they did not charge me! Who could ask for more! Capitol Auto is simply amazing! I plan to continue using their services for many years to come and highly recommend them.
