As a Marine veteran, Jay proudly offers military discounts to active‑duty service members and veterans, which speaks volumes about his character and commitment. A year ago, I followed Jay's recommendation for a 6-12 month service. At that time, he mentioned that my three‑year‑old ceramic coat would likely need to be redone in about a year--and he was absolutely right. Fast forward to today: Jay worked my LS 430 in for an XKOTE and ceramic treatment, and the results are nothing short of stunning. My 22‑year‑old car with over 205k miles looks like it just rolled out of a showroom. The shine, the depth, the finish--everything is flawless. Well done, Jay and team. Your craftsmanship and integrity keep me coming back!

Called Honda Windward to see what I needed to do. Guy was so pleasant and helpful. Took it in on the appointment day. They have a shuttle service to take customers home, so I caught that. A few hours later I got a call that my car was done, and the shuttle was on it's way. Got back to the dealership, picked up my car, and that was it. I've expected such a pleasant experience from a dealership. I will be spreading my story to all friends and family.

Well... here's the follow-up review (I initially rated 5 stars on Google for the test drive and…read morenegotiation process) nobody wants to have to write. The paperwork/payment/ownership transfer portion took much longer than expected. I understand they were likely busy, so I tried to be patient. Hospitality-wise? Probably a 6/10. Not terrible, but once the purchase decision was made, things felt much more transactional. No beverages offered, no check-ins during the long wait -- not a huge deal, but small things matter when you're sitting there signing your financial future away. The paperwork itself was standard. No major complaints there. However, after everything was finalized and we were ready to drive off in our "new-to-us" certified preowned vehicle, we noticed a sizable dent in the driver-side C-pillar. In hindsight, I should have brought it up immediately, but at that point I felt like I had no leverage since everything was already signed and paid for. That part is on us for not catching it sooner. Still, after doing some research and speaking with people currently in the auto industry, certified preowned vehicles generally should not have cosmetic damage larger than about a quarter without disclosure or repair. I texted my salesperson the next day and didn't hear back (got a text 7 days later citing he was texting the wrong person). I eventually contacted management. Craig listened to my concerns, seemed genuine, and asked for photos of the damage. He mentioned an option to repair the dent and said he would follow up the next day. Unfortunately, I never heard back despite a follow-up email. Meanwhile, I was receiving automated texts asking me to leave a review, which honestly felt a little ironic. I replied to the text asking to be contacted via email but still have not heard anything to this date Then came another issue: the AC stopped working within the first week of ownership. I reported it immediately and was told to contact service. Fair enough -- but I live pretty far away, so being told to leave the car there all day meant missing work, rearranging schedules, and figuring out kid pickup logistics. Spending tens of thousands of dollars in cash only to immediately deal with these kinds of issues is frustrating. The AC issue has since been addressed, but while troubleshooting it, my husband discovered the cabin air filter was filthy and found a wad of napkins behind the glove box. Neither inspired confidence that the vehicle had truly been thoroughly inspected before earning certified preowned status. What made it more concerning was that the service advisor initially stated the cabin filter had already been replaced and documented in the system, only to later admit it had not been replaced and would be changed while repairing the blower motor causing the AC issue. That's really the core of my frustration. If obvious things like this were missed or inaccurately communicated, how am I supposed to feel confident everything else in the certified inspection was actually completed? At this point, I'm not expecting perfection. Cars have issues. But communication, accountability, and follow-through after the sale matter just as much as customer service before the sale. Right now, I'm still waiting for a resolution regarding the dent issue and hoping Honda Windward steps up to make this right.

This place is great! I had been a die-hard McKinley's girl forever, but since my new car has…read moreceramic coating it's recommended to use touch-less washes, so here we are! Great location (just a few blocks from McKinleys) on Ward, on the side street across Ward from the Patagonia store. The lot is small, only fits 4 or 5 cars in driveway - but I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get started. (I used the time to gather up all my junk so they could thoroughly clean the interior). Service absolutely is fantastic. You drive yourself into the washing bay under the direction of the service guy. Then you back out and park under the sunshades so the team can hand dry the exterior and all door jams, AND then thoroughly vacuum out the interior. They ask you to step out at sit at provided table (under shade) or pay for service while they're doing all that. There's a service charge for using credit card that is waived if you pay cash. (SUV $29+tax) A tip box is provided on the wall - fill that baby up because these folks are so deserving! Bottom line - excellent service, location, price, and so quick and easy!

I'm looking for hand wash so I call and the person who answers says "Oh just bring it by, if it's not a detail you can just pull up" So I pull up. The guy then says "Oh you need an appointment" I said oh the guy just called said I didn't need an appointment to pull up.. then he says " oh, that was me." Then he tells me to wait and says he probably won't have time for it today if I can come back tomorrow. So I said what time? Then he says 12. I said how long does it take? He said 45- 1 hr. I said OK that works if I can get out because I have a doctor appointment at 1:20pm. Then he said " oh, just bring it by after" so I said what time? Then he says " or maybe on Saturday" I'm like huh?? I said I'm trying to get a car wash today or tomorrow then he says " oh, you can just go McKinley then." I'm not usually a complainer, but the whole interaction was just so irritating and the person I was interacting with just gave off IDGAF vibes, puffing on his vape and then just telling me to go somewhere else. Bummers because location wise they were convenient and if service was good I would have been a repeat customer.

NEWEST UPDATE: Aloha folks -- i've updated my review as…read morethere has been some progress. Greg reached out to me explaining that based on the video I sent, it appeared that the ceramic coating was working, but not how it should be. He asked if I could bring the vehicle in so that his team could wash it, and verify this in person. We agreed that I would drop my vehicle off on Friday. This will allow for a pickup on Saturday. Upon drop off, his guys, Zane and Kato accepted the vehicle and tested the ceramic. Right away, Zane said that it wasn't reacting correctly. I left my keys with them and was told that the vehicle would be ready for pickup the following day and I would be notified by call or text. Saturday -- Premiere is open until 6pm. Once 5pm came around I was admittedly starting to get a little bit nervous seeing as how I needed my car for work on Monday, and I knew they were closed on Sunday. I attempted to call and received no response. Living closeby, I just decided to head over. I got there about 540pm. Greg was there detailing the interior of a car. He had plenty of vehicles to take care of. He was friendly and apologized for the lack of communication, citing that he was swamped with the influx of vehicles. He explained that my car was "done" but that he, himself, had taken issue with it. When we approached my car, it was clear that work had been done. But upon closer inspection, there were water spots on my glass and streak marks on areas, exacerbated by the light from his cell phone flashlight. He was able to quickly wipe some of them off. He again apologized and said that he didn't like the work that was done and asked if he could keep my vehicle until Tuesday so that it could be completely redone. This I respect. Alot. For a boss to take ownership of their work and the work of their employees goes a long way. I left it -- picked it up on Tuesday. The car looks fantastic. Here's to waiting it out and see if the ceramic holds this time around. Very glad that I chose the boys at Premiere. Will update in a week :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aloha all! Second time using the boys at Premiere Island Auto Detail. They did an amazing job on my camaro, that I felt it only right to use them for our SUV. My last interactions with Greg (the owner) and his team were nothing short of amazing. He is a personably guy. I reached out to them asking for an interior and exterior detail on my 2023 Mazda CX50. After some back and forth on the services, I ended up changing my service to a "basic" ceramic coating (which includes an exterior detail to prep it) and full interior detail. The price was amazing. Greg takes care of his customers. I wont mention it here as pricing can always change. As a reminder to anyone reading this -- its always a nice gesture to tip them, though, not required. Greg was able to take my car pretty quickly. I made the appointment for a drop off on Saturday. For those of you that don't know, ceramic coatings require a curing time, and therefore, I needed to leave my vehicle overnight. The garage is secure and under surveillance. It is easily accessible in the downtown area. I came back the next morning to pickup my car. It looked stellar! The lighting really makes the cars pop too. The exterior looked brand new (minus water spots that apparently weren't able to be removed from the 3m decals). The interior also looked great. I had some minor pet fur still embedded, but nothing to harp about. I noticed that the trunk space wasn't addressed though. No biggie. Now the reason for my decrease in rating: I want to start off by reiterating that Greg and his team are excellent dudes to work with. They are friendly, fast, and do good work. My Mazda, this time around, just isn't what I expected from them. I haven't been able to get back for the car wash because the weather has been awful -- so its been a little bit of time since the coating. There are some spots where the ceramic is noticeable. Particularly under the side mirrors, you can see the coating is still there and streaked on. The new formula that they used on this "basic" coating, definitely shows a difference. Maybe this coating only included one pass over, i'm not sure, but the beading effect just isn't there. Dirt and grime still clings to the car and it doesn't wash off with water. The roof doesnt appear to have been coated, but I could be wrong. The wheels were not coated. I am unsure if the glass was coated. The trim appears to have been coated but not wiped off properly. Anyway, do I recommend them? Absolutely. I still think they do good work at a great price. However, I would strongly encourage you to ask about their options for ceramic coating and not get a lesser package. Mahalo Premiere

I cannot say enough incredible things about Premier Island Auto Detail and Greg…read more I first met Greg during a very special (and stressful) time in my life--just one week before giving birth. I needed my car to be immaculately clean, and what he delivered completely exceeded every expectation. When I picked up my car, I was honestly in awe. It looked and felt brand new. What truly stood out, though, wasn't just the quality of his work--it was him. My family was with me, and Greg treated all of us with such genuine kindness, respect, and aloha. That moment has stayed with me ever since. He is truly one of those rare, good-hearted people you don't forget. Fast forward to recently--I had what I thought was a total nightmare situation. After a fishing day with my family, squid juice spilled into my car and soaked into the carpet. The smell was awful. No matter what I tried, it wouldn't go away, and I genuinely thought my car was permanently ruined. Of course, I reached out to Greg--and once again, he worked his magic. Not only did he completely remove the odor, but my car now smells (and feels) brand new again. I honestly don't know how he does it, but his attention to detail, work ethic, and level of care are unmatched. Greg is the only person I trust with my car. I recommend Premier Island Auto Detail to everyone--my friends, my clients, my family--because when you find someone this genuine and this talented, you don't keep it to yourself. Thank you infinitely, Greg. Your work and your spirit truly make a difference.

When my husband told me that he had a pau hana with his boss and coworkers, I told him that I had…read moreno problem being the DD so long as he didn't vomit in the car on the way home. My husband laughed off my request and commented that he hadn't been a "Palu Princess" for the past two years and that the plan was to head home by 9pm. It was then my turn to laugh because knowing my husband, we'd be lucky if we were even home by midnight. By the time Friday rolled around and after awkwardly having to introduce myself as the "ball and chain" crashing my husband's night out, pau hana was in full swing. I can't even recall how many shots and beers/cocktails were ordered by and for the group but my husband was definitely starting to feel the alcohol. It wasn't until we hit our second (and final) bar of the night that I realized it might be time to head home. So one of my husband's coworkers helped me get him into the backseat of our car and as I drove off and checked the clock, it was only a little past 8:30pm. And since the only noise in the car was my husband's snoring, I figured we were in the clear. But as we we were about ten minutes away from home, I heard rustling in the back and as I asked my husband if he was okay, I was greeted with The Exorcist in full vomit glory. And as if the stench and sounds were not enough, the chunks splashing my shoulder closest to the armrest were enough to indicate that a simple Clorox wipe would not suffice. By the time we got home and I took a look at the damage, I realized we were going to need professionals. The next morning, I did a quick search on Yelp and Fine Shine Auto Detailing was one of my first options. I liked the fact that it was close to home and that based on the reviews, FSAD seemed to be the best kept secret in Kailua. So I used the Yelp app. to put in a quote request and waited on a response. Yelp also helped out by putting out the request to several other companies that may be able to help (via their Projects tab--super handy!). Alex W. from Clean Max Auto Detailing and Arvin I. from Detail Lab Hawaii were the first to respond with quotes and other details related to my request but since Alex's first available appointment wasn't until later in the month and Arvin was farther away than I would have liked, I held out hope that Fine Shine would get back to me. And almost like he had read my mind, Whitney had responded to my quote and asked that I give him a call. Whitney is perhaps one of the nicest people I've ever had the chance to interact with. While we were getting the details in over the phone, he was really good about getting info such as what work was needed, the type of car, when we could drop the car off, and billing (which I got a kick out of because Whitney initially thought I was a Uber/Lyft driver and one of my punk passengers vomited in the car and would need to be charged lol). My husband and I were basically able to drop the car off to Whitney within 30 minutes to an hour of our phone consultation and even when we met him in person, he was just as gracious and we had a bit of small talk (Whitney: "So what happened?" Me: "That's the culprit!" Hubs: "Yeah, sorry, I had one too many drinks...") before Whitney gave us a rundown of what he would be doing and told us he would have the car back to us same day. And sure enough, by 9pm, when we went to go pick-up the car, I could not have been more surprised at the work Whitney (and his wife) had done on our car. Since it was dark out, I initially thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me because of how shiny the exterior of our car was, but it wasn't until my husband had asked that Whitney had told us that he had of course taken care of the exterior as well as the interior because we were paying for full service. My husband and I just looked at each other in awe because it wasn't at all what we had expected and if the only thing Whitney could have done for us was to remove the stench, trust me when I say we would have been more than happy with that. But to see all the time, effort, and overall work Whitney put into our car, which took up a majority of his Sunday, it was obvious to us why people continue to go back to Whitney and Fine Shine time after time. If you are looking for someone in the Kailua area (and even if you're not from the area, the drive is worth it) to work on your car's detailing needs, I cannot recommend Whitney and Fine Shine Auto Detailing enough. Whitney is an honest man and a hard worker and the attention to detail and the results provided through his work is absolutely phenomenal. As a business, I feel that Fine Shine really does go above and beyond for their customers even if they're new like we were. Whitney constantly gave us updates throughout the day and even when it came to final costs, I still cannot believe we only paid the amount we paid for in comparison to all the work done on our car. Whitney is truly a miracle worker and we are forever grateful.

The owner was kind enough to reschedule his day and arrange to come to Waikiki to do the job at the last minute, which was amazing.

My car passed the VPC inspection with flying colors and was so worth it.
