Price went up to $2500 Then they found other parts that needed replacement. Ok, we're just below 3,000 Suddenly the bill is over $4900 when we go to pick the car up. Jeremy claims there was additional things they found wrong and that he notified us. (he didn't and these new charges were a surprise) As we start going through the bill, we notice we're being charged for labor and parts that should have been included in the original price for the head gasket. Then, the additional parts are priced at 2-3x what they should be with outrageous labor charges. ($200 in labor to replace a thermostat which takes 10 minutes to remove 2 bolts.) Owner refuses to release the vehicle unless we pay and we have a bunch of back and forth where he starts dropping the price but still wants to charge stupid labor charges and more. Then he pulls up high prices on the computer to justify his high costs. Same parts I found for 1/2 to 1/3 the price. Now we also discover they didn't put certain parts back on the vehicle when they finished and there is a missing exhaust cover. So not only do they overcharge the work is sloppy. I cannot recommend this shop at all. They don't honor their quotes, jack up the price of parts then refuse to release your vehicle until you pay. 0 stars if I could.

2 Star Honest Review of "Five Star Cleaners" and Owner Jade…read more(Lengthy but worth the read if you're considering this company) This is my honest experience with Five Star Cleaners, run by Jade, and why I unfortunately cannot recommend this company. I was in search of a move-out cleaning for my ohana rental and needed a reliable, reputable company to take on the job. I found Five Star Cleaners, and Jade sent an amazing cleaner named Chelsea, who did a fantastic job on a small test area. That experience gave me confidence in their quality of work. As a homeowner, I'm careful when hiring service providers -- especially when I'm not going to be physically present -- so I planned this cleaning a full month in advance. We scheduled a team of 4 cleaners, at $120/hr, for roughly 3-5 hours. Everything was confirmed: my proxy (a trusted friend) would be there in my place as I would be off-island, and multiple cleanings were lined up. A week before the job, I checked in with Jade to confirm everything and asked for a detailed list of what the cleaning would include (e.g. baseboards, windows inside and out, cabinets, full deep clean, etc.). I also mentioned I'd like the invoice to clearly reflect the services for documentation purposes -- in case anything came up with my tenant's security deposit and I needed it for small claims. That's when Jade suddenly became uncomfortable and said this was "concerning." I clarified that I wasn't threatening legal action or involving her in a dispute -- I simply needed a clear invoice, as any homeowner would, to show a judge the unit had been professionally deep-cleaned (as required by my lease). I explained this is standard procedure, and no liability or risk would fall on her or her team. Just a paper trail. However, Jade insisted she didn't want to be "caught in any legal crossfire" and pulled out of the job entirely, just one week before the scheduled date, leaving me scrambling just days before I was scheduled to leave the island. She refused to speak on the phone to clarify things or resolve the misunderstanding. All communication abruptly stopped. To make matters worse, Jade then blocked me on Facebook and all other communication channels, presumably to avoid accountability and prevent a negative review -- rather than taking ownership or having a respectful conversation as an informed and professional business owner should. That behavior alone speaks volumes. This last-minute cancellation was a major inconvenience and unnecessary stress, especially after a month of coordination. I had trusted this company to follow through -- and instead, they dropped out without any real attempt to problem-solve. That is not professional in my opinion. To be clear, I don't wish Jade or her business any harm -- but I do not consider this company reputable based on this experience. In Hawaiʻi, where it's already difficult to find trustworthy cleaning services, this situation only made things harder. If you're a homeowner or property manager needing reliable, professional, and communicative service -- I would encourage you to look elsewhere. This wasn't it.
