Had fender flares put on my Jeep, asked them to do state inspection, they don’t normally do them but they offered to take it somewhere to get it done. Super friendly and do good work.

My temp gage was on hot...I thought my radiator was the problem. I took my car to a1 and spoke with Chris. He asked me to bring in the car and they'll do a diagnostic check. It was the tubing that ran the coolant was the problem. I I picked up my car the next day....and I'm happy as a clam! Kudos to Bubba, Chris, and crew!

Despite the staggering number of cars that were jammed into the shop, it didn't take long to determine this was a problem of not having enough space, and not one of a lack of organization. In fact it was soon revealed to me how organized and efficient they were, and the number of cars was obviously due to the great work they do. Add the fact that they solved all the problems that brought me there, quickly, efficiently, and keeping me informed of the process (and costs) all along the way. This is always appreciated with any job, but it is particularly important with my vehicle, a 1972 Lincoln that requires mechanical savvy way beyond diagnostic computers, auto-shop generalization and YouTube tutorials. These guys are true mechanical professionals, working in sync in a well oiled (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) and honest organization. I couldn't be happier. And you will, too.

The best Auto & Repair shop in Honolulu. This is my third vehicle (Volkswagen Tiguan) that I been taking to A1 Auto Repair and they provide the most honest and reliable technicians in town. Bubba & his team were quick to deliver an accurate diagnosis for my vehicle as they provided an efficient solution to my concerns. Highly recommended as I continue performing additional work to my vehicle. Truly lives up the name A-1 Auto Repair! - Jeffrey

We've taken our vehicles to Bubba and his team since we arrived on island 2 years ago. We've had an excellent and efficient experience every time. Last week we had an urgent vehicle issue. I drove straight to their shop as my truck was starting to overheat again. Not only were they able to diagnose the issue on the same day, but they were able to send me an estimate for work approval. This was all on a Friday. They called Monday morning to tell me that my radiator had been replaced and my vehicle was ready for pickup! Of note, they recently updated their communication systems and it helps the process run so smoothly. I can approve work via text or email, book appointments online, and even communicate via text when needed. Bravo, Bubba and team! Mahalo for taking such great care of my family's vehicles.

I brought in two vehicles right before the holidays. Timo and the team tackled the much needed repairs right away and even got them both done before Christmas. They were extremely thorough in listening to my concerns and diagnosing the problems. I have been going to A1 since moving to Honolulu and they have always been transparent, honest, and timely. They're my mechanic of choice for as long as I live here.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience! My Infinity 2003 was in such rough shape and had Engine issues that several other repair shops told me to give up and buy something new. But the technician here Timo didn’t just accept the challenge—he elevated my car to a level I honestly thought was impossible. Timo is such a genius person and seriously about work. He approaches every tasks with extraoridinaly dedication. The quality of the work is outstanding. Every upgrade, every adjustment, every detail was handled with the care and precision of a true master. When I picked up my car, it felt like I was driving a brand-new vehicle. I was genuinely stunned. If you have an older car that everyone else has written off, do yourself a favor and come here. The skill, dedication, and pride in their craft are unmatched. Absolutely deserving of five stars—wish I could give more!

A-1 Auto Service performed excellent workmanship & customer service for my coolant system maintenance work. Project Manager Chris was very friendly & articulate on explaining the required scope of work and anticipated completion time. During car pickup, Chris answered all of my questions & provided clear descriptions & pointed out under the hood items that were replaced. Technician Timo who serviced my car was also very personable & provided superb technical workmanship. I was also very pleased with the 10% discount on materials/labor provided to Government Military Retiree and/or Senior Citizen Discount! A-1 Auto Service is a fantastic local Ohana style company that I will patronize & highly recommend them to my family & friends for auto repairs & service.
