Honolulu, HI
In my world, I equate car repair shops with car salesmen, insurance sales people, and real estate agents. I feel these people are generally sneaky and will do whatever it takes to make a big sale off of you. That being said, I never thought I would be giving a car repair shop 5 stars, but that's what they deserve! I needed new tires, a general check up and a safety check. An employee spent some time with me discussing the different options in tires. Like any store, they do promote their preferred brand and specials but they simply tell you about it and don't push it on you. They listened to what I needed and didn't try to up-sell or push me into spending more money. My car was in and out within an hour. I couldn't pick it up right away but they told me they close at 6 to just pick it up by then. When I got there, I realized they forgot to do the safety check. No problem! They did it right away and did it for FREE! The employees treat you like family and are really friendly, accommodating, and professional. I've found my one-stop shop for everything car related! Side note: I love how on the work order sheet there's an option for "Call when pau." It's so refreshing to see a local company offer such amazing service and are still able to stick to their local roots.
