    I came here cause hubby recommended them. They take walk ins as well as appointments. I came today at around 8 am to get a safety check. My sticker expires at the end of March and today was a good day to do it since I am off from work. Hubby directed me here. It's located behind a gated area. I guess the guy wasn't there as we entered. We didn't need a ticket and just drove straight through. It's in a garage type business behind some buildings. The guy told us to drive the car in. The safety check was $25. It was quick and easy. All you need to show is current registration and current insurance. Not bad. He had other cars in there for other reasons. The guy helping us was super nice and managed to get us in and out. I highly recommend this location for safety checks.

    Great place to take your vehicle to get repairs, maintenance and safety checks done. It's a little tricky to find. Just ask the guard at the booth on 501 Sumner Street. They will give you a ticket to give to Yama's to get a validation stamp Drive straight towards the fence turning left pass the 1st auto shop keep driving down Peets Alley then half way on the left you will find Yama's. Park outside and go inside to get assistance. Appointments are greatly appreciated but they do accommodate walk-ins. As in my case...I needed to get a safety check done on my vehicle since it will expire at the end of this month. I figured it's still early in the month and I arrived there at 8am. They were already open and only a few customers were ahead of me. I was in and out pretty quickly and it only cost me $25.00...Will be definitely returning next year for my Safety Check

    Great customer service! It's hard to find, even with GPS... but keep going. Right off street down from Cannery. Get to 501 Sumner and enter past small booth and go completely around parking lot to other side where you will see a fence with Costco on the other side.

They're usually able to take me in pretty soon too which is great. On my most recent visit, I went in thinking I needed specific work done, but Codi realized it was a totally different issue. He fixed it right then and there, so I didn't even need the major work I thought I did! As a woman in my early 20s, I'm always prepared to be sold on things I don't need, but that never happens here. They're so good at explaining what happened and I've never felt ripped off. The reception area is nice with AC, water, and a TV, plus a huge perk is that they pay for your one way ride share from the shop after you drop your car off.

    I'd like to start off by mentioning the great things I experienced. The team working on my truck…read morewas extremely knowledgeable and patient throughout the process. My partner received pictures and updates along the way, and I truly appreciated the communication, especially since they had my truck overnight. One challenge was how narrow the entrance is when pulling in, but thankfully that wasn't too much of an issue during drop-off. My experience ended up being 4 stars because I paid $704 for diagnostics and a transmission fluid service, only to be told that the transmission issues would likely continue over time. The recommendation given was that replacing the vehicle might be a better option if we didn't want to continue investing money into the truck. Afterward, I reached back out to ask for a quote on either rebuilding or replacing the transmission so I could better understand my options. Unfortunately, I've waited quite a while without receiving a response. At this point, even after spending the money on the diagnostics and service, the truck is still undrivable and sitting in a parking lot while I continue paying for a rental car. I completely understand that transmission work can be complicated, and I am grateful they were able to inspect my truck since I don't know much about transmissions myself. When I first brought the truck in, I also mentioned an issue with my taillight. I was initially told it would be added to the diagnostics at the end, but it was never looked at. I was later informed that I would need to pay an additional $185 just to diagnose the taillight issue. At that point, I decided to simply pick up the truck. The communication was excellent from start to finish while the vehicle was actively being worked on, but as a returning customer, I do feel disappointed that I haven't received any follow-up regarding the transmission quote. I'm hoping someone from the team can reach back out soon so I can better understand what my next steps and costs may be.

Having it repaired correctly and safely meant everything to us. What was supposed to be a repair lasting just a few hours turned into a three-day job because new issues kept coming up. Throughout the entire process, Kaleo remained patient, honest, and committed to doing the job right. I stayed during the repair because I wanted to understand what was being done and he welcomed my questions. He took the time to explain each step and was completely transparent about the work and the challenges he encountered. In addition to providing exceptional service, Kaleo's pricing was fair and affordable. He truly embodies the aloha spirit, treating his customers with kindness, respect, and genuine care. If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, affordable, and dependable mobile mechanic, I highly recommend him. We will definitely be calling him again for any future repairs.

If I could I would give them a 0. 2 and a half years ago, I took my car to Pearl City Auto Works for a brake job. It cost me almost $5k to do it. 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!!
