90 Pookela St, Hilo“I love this place ! The boys are very nice and will check your oi,l water, clean windows.. I mean where else can you get full service without attitude ? Also got my oil changed , it was quick and efficient and the price was great... I'm a customer for life...... never had bad service ?”
“I bought a 2019 Jeep at Kama’aina Motors and had the most amazing salesman, Ed Delacruz, to assist me with the selection! I’m female and have bought several used vehicles in my life. In my opinion, it’s practical and more economical than buying a new vehicle (which seems to lose an immediate $15K value as soon as it leaves the lot). Ed Delacruz was kind, intelligent, and a local Hawaiian resident who understood exactly what I wanted and guided me properly throughout the entire process. He even drove with me to the top of Mauna Kea from Hilo to make sure the vehicle made it up and down the mountain and had the power I needed. As most locals know, the top of Mauna Kea is around 14,000 feet at a pretty steep incline. The vehicle operated perfectly. Ed said I was on his personal record for the longest test drive?. He was fun to work with! My experience was very positive purchasing this vehicle (it only took a few hours to purchase and negotiations were very easy).
If you need a vehicle, i highly recommend you go through Ed DelaCruz as your salesman at Kama’aina Motors. He’s completely transparent and will always answer your questions or find the answer. It should be noted he was highly recommended to me by my police partner at the Hawaii Police Department because of his , honesty, experience, and character. Check him out at Kama’aina Motors. He’s very tenacious and won’t give up finding the best vehicle for your needs.”

829 Leilani St # E, Hilo“I needed a new downpipe for the exhaust on my 1985 Mercedes 300td, but they were no longer available for my specific model. So I bought one for another similar model, and Jerry modified and installed it, and it worked out perfectly due to Jerry's great skill. Jerry is a hardworking skilled and honest individual. He does great work at a reasonable price. I will definitely be going back to Aloha muffler for all future muffler/exhaust work.”
“Chris is an amazing mechanic who takes pride in his work. He also gives you recommendations on how to avoid problems in the future. I haven’t had to see him in a while but I’m not worried who to see when I need work done on my machines. Mahalo Chris ??”

He is professional and personable. Thank you! We appreciate your integrity. We will definitely be coming back here if we may need auto repair in the future. ?”
“Seany B's Auto have treated my whole family very well for years! I'll never go anywhere else. They're honest, knowledgeable, and hardworking. They get things done quick, do quality work, and are easy to communicate with. We couldn't ask for better, and recommend them to everyone we know.”

192 Kinoole St, Hilo“My husband and I had to get my mother-in-law’s car inspected and approved for registration. We ran into a snag when my “mil’s” insurance card didn’t pop up with the appropriate information, so my husband and I (using 2 smart phones and a limited amount of tech savvy) had to do a conference call with his mom, the insurance agent and us. Needless to say it was much more time consuming and complicated than expected. Keith and his staff were great. Since my “mil” had been their client for a long time, they were very patient and helpful while the whole insurance complication was figured out, and went right to work once everything was sorted out. The whole process took a lot longer than expected, but they were really great about making it feel like it wasn’t a big deal on their end of things.
Thank you, Downtown Texaco! You guys rock!”

612 Kalanianaole St Bldg C, Hilo“I bought a set of new tires here after shopping around at several shops in Hilo. I decided to take my business here for a few reasons.
Out of the three shops I visited in person, R&G seemed the most professional and unpretentious, which gave me confidence in them.
Their 4.8 stars with over 100 reviews also gave me confidence.
Although their selection of tires in my size was fairly limited, one of these (General AltiMax RT45) had pretty good reviews online. And since it's generally expensive and time-consuming to have tires shipped to the island, it was important to me to pick something from what the tire stores had in stock.
When I finally decided to go and get my tires from them, I came in with a long list of questions. Keanu was patient and professional and answered all my questions. He even let me inspect the tires I chose before putting them on because I asked to verify the DOT manufacture date (they were manufactured only four months ago!).
Their prices were reasonable. Not the cheapest in town, but also not the most expensive. For the quality of service, it was worth it to me. I also opted for their tire protection plan. It seems worth it for the tire rotations alone.
They don't do appointments for new tires (only for their mechanic), so I did a walk-in around 1pm on a Tuesday, and the whole thing took about an hour.
I'm a first time customer here. So far, so good.”

“Nate the owner was wonderful. I called on a recommendation in distress needing my car air conditioner charged same day as it was very hot. I had to travel so I was desperate. When I arrived he greeted me warmly and went to work on my car putting his lunch aside. In just a short time he serviced my air conditioner and had it running very efficiently on cold. I can’t sing his praises enough and I will return for other automotive services.
A big mahalo nui to Nate.”

63 Silva St, Hilo“This Mechanic is honest, affordable, and they fix your car right in a minimal amount of time. No BS. So glad I was recommended to go to these guys after I was laughed at for what seemed like a good ten minutes by a group of friends for taking my car to Kamaaina motors to get fixed. " You kind of deserve it for going there without asking us... we would've told you to go to CARSS because they are the best in town". True.”

494 Kalanikoa St #3, Hilo“I wanted to get my car looked over by a mechanic in Hilo. I called and spoke to Jeff directly. He was patient and thorough, making sure I got to ask all my questions. I appreciate that since I generally have a list of questions with things like this. He addressed all of my questions. He told me to bring my list of questions and concerns with my car when I brought it in. I was able to get an appointment within one or two business days.
When I took my car in, Jeff spent a lot of time with me discussing my list. I appreciated this too. After that, he gave me a price quote. The inspection ended up taking about an hour longer than planned because they wanted to take a closer look at some things. Even so, they stuck with their original quoted amount, which I respect and appreciate.
When it was all done, Jeff again talked to me to make sure I understood what they had found and the next steps. No immediate needs for repair, just stuff to be aware of down the road.
Overall, I'd say this shop is honest, trustworthy, and competent. I recommend them.”
“I recently had the privilege of visiting Big Island Brake & Front End Repair for a brake job, and I must say, it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with efficiency and warmth. As a fellow veteran, the Gary exemplified the core values of the military, displaying integrity at every turn.
What stood out immediately was the Gary's commitment to transparency. He not only accommodated me on the same day but also took the time to walk me through every aspect of the brake job process.His thoroughness was commendable as he patiently explained each step, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with the service.
Moreover, the pricing was fair and transparent. There were no surprises or hidden charges. It was evident that integrity was not just a word but a guiding principle in their business ethos. As a customer, this instilled a sense of trust and confidence in their work.
The quality of the job itself was impeccable. The Gary's attention to detail and expertise were apparent in the final results. My vehicle feels safer and more reliable than before, thanks to their meticulous workmanship.
Overall, my experience at Big Island Brake & Front End Repair was nothing short of outstanding. Gary's dedication to honesty, thoroughness, and fair pricing sets a standard that many businesses could aspire to emulate. I wholeheartedly recommend Big Island Brake & Front End Repair to anyone in need of front end or brake services, knowing they will be treated with the same level of respect and professionalism that I experienced.”

212 Holomua St, Hilo“We recently purchased a car from Aiona auto sales and didn't even realize that it had a light out. The service dept had checked the car over the day before and already ordered the part. About a week later, I got a call to bring it in and scheduled an appointment for the following week.When I arrived, they were expecting me and let me know how long it would take. The man at the service desk checked to see if I wanted to wait or have him call when ready and offered their air-conditioned waiting room.It was set up nicely with a table and chairs, as well as a couch, TV, bookshelf of books to look at while waiting, and a restroom that was clean and well-stocked.They were friendly, nice, and fast. Great experience!2nd and 3rd visits were even better! They take such good care! Had to get a part that was back ordered. They called and got my car in right away when it arrived and got me back on the road super quick. They so great!”
