Brakes, near Honolulu, HI

TRUST! Friendly, efficient, honest. Repaired my brakes, checked my check engine light and replaced my air filter all for more than $200 less than Lex Brodie estimate to just repair my brakes. From now on I will always have my Honda Fit serviced at Artesian Auto Repair! Many thanks.

Lorena R

This place is the best! I called three other shops to get my flat tire fixed and got quotes for almost double the price of Artesian. One shop told me it would take 1.5 hours to get the tire fixed even if I made an appointment! Artesian was super kind and professional and fixed my tire in 15 minutes. I can't thank this shop enough. Aaron was awesome and very kind, as was everyone else in the shop. I HIGHLY recommend this shop for all your repair needs because they are amazing, honest, and fast.

Old car 2012. It's past noon. Check light came on. Altimeter . Was able to drive off with new altimeter installed in less than 2 hrs. Saved my okole again Waited in the AC room and had Cheetos and Doritos for lunch while it rained that day. Ever grateful to the wonderful staff at Artisan Auto.

Wendy S

Expert service and fair pricing as always. Aaron is the man!

Mark

Awesome service. Made it easy for me drop off and pick up my car. Artesian honored a warranty on a defective part and replaced it. WhenI picked up my car, I received a few pieces of holiday candy for the road!!! It made my day!!!

Just prior to Thanksgiving, the electronic display on my 2009 Genesis suddenly reported failures, including ABS, ESC, and Tire Pressure Monitor. A few miles later, the power steering failed. Expecting to pay more than $1,000, I took the car to Artesian Auto Repair the next morning. Aaron was so great- completed trouble shooting, found a frayed digital transfer cable, and got the replacement that same day. My charge for repairs was less than $200. Oh, and he reset a warning in my spouse's Honda that same day with no charge. He's the man!

I never expect a car repair trip can be so satisfying. Tire got nail punctured. It's a hard-to-detect slow-leaking type. They took me in with a very short notice. Aaron got right into it on the ground and later onto the rack. Another gentleman road tested it to make sure. All the time I was sitting in cute little waiting room watching funny video. Jamie wrapped it up with warm holiday greetings and snacks. I found my faith for humanity in a tire repair trip. Thank you guys. Happy holiday!

James

I love artesian auto!!!! Trust them with every problem I have. Their communication is on point and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Will always recommend them to everyone.

Ella Grasyon D

Excellent service. I'm picky with mechanics and even more here in Oahu given that almost everything is more expensive; and I highly recommend this place.

Akbar B

Family owned business. What big dealerships less and less convenient better to go a local small mechanics

Eugene D

Knowledgeable, efficient and kind. Top notch service providers I love Artesian Auto Repair. It started with an older car I had purchased and during my oil change they pinpointed a couple of possible concerns. I was worried, thinking repairs would take weeks but they were kind enough to fit me with an appointment quickly. I really appreciated the time they took to clearly explain the cause of the concerns. I felt informed, not pressured. I felt welcome and taken care of. They have a knack for remembering my name and saying it correctly. And when I ran out of there forgetting my grocery bag, they stored it in their fridge! Saved my lomi lomi! When I returned the next day I was greeted by name and handed my cold grocery sack. I drove out of there with so much relief today. New pads and rotors, a fresh oil change, my heat shield repaired and my oil leaks addressed. Artesian does quality work, they were forthcoming and honest, put me at ease and took great care of me and my car. I will never go anywhere else. check them out!

Sharee M

Paul C

Amazing experience, best customer service of any auto shop I've been to! They will make sure you get the help you need and you are fully taken care of.

Elizabeth K

Artesian Auto Repair is place you can trust. Great service, wonderful people. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

Donand V

Amazing customer service and high quality work! They saved me a ton of money compared to another shop that was trying to rip me off ($40 for a simple repair when another shop was quoting me $1000s for a complex repair). Highly recommend!

Hannah E

They did some work on my daughters Chevy Tahoe, air conditioner, and it worked great for six months and then something with the radiator leaking affected the air conditioner. The were so incredibly thoughtful and caring. They fixed the radiator leak and corrected the problem with the air conditioner and would not take any additional money. I tried to pay them since they gave me a quote, and they refused to accept the payment. I have never seen a business do this before, and I felt that their thoughtfulness and expertise deserved an excellent commendation

Paul P

HONEST, reliable, friendly service! A locally owned garage for generations. I have been bringing my cars here for repairs/maintenance work for many years. Aaron the chief mechanic is friendly and will answer all and any questions on cars. Trustworthy and recommended place to bring your car.

Emi C

We had a wheel alignment done and it took under an hour. Great customer service, friendly, answers the phone and accommodating. Great place to have your vehicle serviced.

Susan G

Great experience, I don't know much about cars and they made me feel comfortable and very transparent with cost, parts, and what needed to be done. would recommend to anyone.

Nick L

Tucked away on a side street, Artesian Auto Repair is a small business dedicated to taking care of your car. This small crew is quick, efficient, and conscientious. They will be my go-to mechanics.

Deborah S

The staff were so helpful and got me scheduled for an oil change over the phone. I had been driving around town but every other place had 2+ hour long waits and didn't take any appointments. At Artesian, they got started on my oil change right away, had a comfortable waiting area with snacks and drinks, and were quick! They found something wrong with my car and were honest with me about how urgent it was (not very) and how much it would cost. They weren't pushy, and didn't try to make a quick buck off a naive customer. I really appreciated their professionalism, and I will definitely be back!!

Mariah Y

The absolute best mechanic I've been to in a long time! They work on my wife's Audi and my Silverado so they can pretty much do anything. My wifes car needed brakes and this shop was over $1000 less than the audi dealer and about 300 less than other independent shops. Granted they use aftermarket parts but the parts they did use were Centric fully coated rotors (important for corrosion control here on island) which is a premium brand and top of the line. I was so impressed by this that i had them also inspect my truck which came back with a clean bill of health. This shows me they're an honest shop. They could have easily squeezed a buck out of me saying it needed the diff fluid or power steering etc changed but they didnt. I will never go anywhere else for repairs or maintenance. I drive about 45 minutes out of my way to come here because they're that good.

Tom

Been helped by them over the past 3 or 4 years. Very trustworthy, good mechanics.

Cheryl J

They were nice , finished before estimated time ,will definitely use them again

Michael M

One of THE BEST mechanics shops in town. Aaron the shop manager is the nicest guy I've ever met. They are thorough, they are professional, and they are nice. They are a bit inconvenient in location, but who cares?? They are amazing at their job!! Also, he even got me an Uber cause I had an issue w my ride AND got me a luxury Uber???? He didn't have to do that but man, very unexpected and highly wonderful. Also, they don't do transmissions which is totally fine, I get it. Aaron recommended HIGHLY for people to go to Certified Transmission Differential and guys name there is Tracey.

Jay G

They awesome!!!

Bernard V

Artesian Auto Repair is the place to go to get your vehicle repaired. They will give you a quote on how much it will cost and took good care of my vehicle. Called and let me know my vehicle is almost done with the repairs. Also, the price is something I can afford.

Larry S

Thank you again. Aaron and all of the mechanics/ technicians and they're awesome receptionist again have help me. I'm hoping this is the last time I will see them for a very long time they have kept a 2003 Ford Focus running until new cars can come to the island. They have shown there Aloha by understanding where I'm coming from and the help that I and the car required. The old saying shop local oh, keep it local. Artesian Auto Repair will always be number one in my recommendations for repairs and people that listen. I thank you all Chrissy and Bobby thank you.

Nadine W

In my opinion the best shop on island. Their work is always top quality, they're knowledgeable, and they work fast.

Bulaia S

I went here based on other reviews and was not disappointed. Had I difficult to diagnose problem with a new car I bought fixed at a reasonable price. The clear communication and honesty were apparent as well as the quality work. Recommend for any anti motive needs!

Tyler M

Had my starter go out and needed a tow. So I called around and luckily I found these guys. Kristi answered the phone super nice gave me the number to a tow company. ( American Tow also great) Got my car in same day and were able to replace starter and battery. I will be going back for sure. Mahalo for the great service!

Cory D

My new go to for my auto needs. Customer service is awesome! Easy to schedule an appointment. Love that I can check my services I've had online and schedule appointment online.

The Courtyards at Panahou Manager

Scheduling an appointment through their site was easy and got an email confirmation from Kristie shortly after. Dropped the car off in the morning for a diagnostic check and oil change and picked it up in the afternoon with my quote for repairs. All totaled up to about $1,500 with parts and labor but was informed that nothing was too urgent and to fix just as soon as I could. They did not pressure me at all, but simply expressed the needs of the vehicle in order of priority to repair. Chris went over the quote with me, explaining all of their recommendations thoroughly. Everyone was courteous, professional, and friendly - 10/10 service, will return for repair work soon!

Sinjin L

Great customer service, good and fast work!

Travas H

This place is simply AMAZING! I was quoted $2K from another company to have my car repaired without even looking at it first but these guys charged me a 1/4 of the price and with Great customer service to boot! I dropped my car off at 8am and they were done by 11:30am. Look no further for all your transportation repairs, I highly recommend them.

Benjy K

They seemed very honest, and were very fast. nobody likes having car trouble, but if you do have car trouble, they seem like a great option!

rhY

Reset my SAS on my BMW 325i for free! Called everywhere from Wahiawa to Honolulu, everyone wanted $130 ++. They did it as a courtesy. Absolutely recommend this place if you need any work done on your car, definitely if you trying to find a honest mechanic for you BMW!

Jonathon S

The most reliable and trustworthy car mechanics on the island!! Artesian is the best!! Professional, friendly and trustworthy and dependable. Christy, Bobby and their whole staff are the best in the business.

Rachel O

I equate going to an automotive mechanic like I would going to the dentist (no offense dentists out there), however, if there is a problem it needs to be taken care of. This is only the second time I have had confidence and full respect for a mechanics shop, from the great customer service to the the mechanics working on the vehicles...absolutely the best. Great job!

Elyssa L

I've always had fast and friendly service when I bring my car in. Even when it's last minute. They call to let you know what's going on. It's good to find someplace you can trust.

Clay I

Very Knowledgable, Accommodating, and More than Fair Artesian Auto is a great, family-run business. You can trust you're getting both a knowledgeable and honest assessment any time you need a professional mechanic's input. They won't charge you unnecessarily and you can trust if something goes wrong or malfunctions, they've got you covered. I can speak from experience. I ended up with a faulty part that controlled something with the ac--I forgot the name of the part. It was behind my dash on a Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. It kept making a funky sound. They tried resetting it twice. It didn't work, so I ended up needing to come in to get it replaced under warranty and Bobby made sure to compensate for the inconvenience to me when he didn't need to. Bobby is the real deal when it comes to trustworthy mechanics. He and Kristie are proud of their business and appreciate their customers! Note for parents: if you have children, they have a waiting room and lots of cute little toys and games for the kids to play with, snacks, coffee and a bathroom if needed. The room is small, but SO helpful when you're in a bind and need some work done and can't find childcare. I highly recommend Artesian Auto!

Heather G

When my car has a problem what is important to me is an auto shop that has integrity to tell me exactly the issue I'm dealing with and mechanics possessing skill and knowledge to resolve it. Combine that with a friendly staff and Artesian Auto Repair becomes the place you can trust to have your automobile fixed. I appreciated how Christine clearly explained what needed to be done and the costs involved. I expressed a concern that there was an urgency to have my car back by a certain time. She kept me abreast with calls of when my car would be done allowing me to plan my day accordingly. Personalized service like this is certainly appreciated and a plus in my book.

Kauasi M

Highly recommended this place.

Chris L

The staff was happy and anxious to help with my vehicle issues. The pleasant to talk to and knowledgable about what needed to be done. My vehicle was in and out in a day. I couldn't be more happy with the service they provided. I would recommend them to anybody. 5 star service. AWESOME!!

I have never had a more amazing customer experience than I did at Artesian Auto Repair. I was blown away by their top notch customer service! Not only are they incredibly kind and courteous, but they also work faster than any other shop I have ever been to all while maintaining high quality of work and service on your vehicle. I 100% recommend Artesian Auto Body to anyone and everyone! They are simply the best

Francis H

They were so nice and honest! My altinator broke and they diagnosed the problem free of charge and fixed my car that same day. I felt like I was in good hands and never once ripped off. For anyone looking to get auto repairs done, this is your spot. I'm def coming here in the future.

Makana O

My 20 year old Rav4 had mushy brakes and needed new master cylinders. I needed to find a place that I could walk to and from. Found Artesian..What a Find!!!! They were very accommodating and helpful. Price was reasonable and the work was done on time. i am a very satisfied customer and will be from now on. I highly recommend them. I run a business myself, and believe me it's hard to find such an honest and professional business these days....

Janet P

This place was beyond fair. Gave me a diagnosis for free on my nissan exterra. I came back for more help and the service and bill was very fair. I would recommend them.

Derrick T

The problem nowadays with businesses is honesty. How do you know, ya? So it's a real struggle listening to business owners & wondering if you can really trust what they say. Well, I am one of probable few who actually do their homework before venturing off to do business with anyone. Well, re Artesian Auto Repair from the garage area, with these really special mechanics and the owners themselves, they have proven beyond my own expectations of what a good service is. Artesian Auto Repair will promise one thing, to do their best on our vehicles. They keep their word. The prices are fair but the service, smiles & attitude makes you feel comfortable just as I would drop off my child at child care....In Good hands. I highly recommend Artesian Auto Repair to all my Oahu braddahs n seestas...Aloha

Keith G

These are good peoples. My friend's car's hood latch wasn't locking. They lubed it so it could kind off work, but recommend I get it replaced. Unable to contact my friend who is overseas at the time. Told the folks at Artesian I'd just need to take it home for now. They told me no worries and didn't charge me for anything. Will definitely be heading back to Artesian Auto Repair for any future auto repairs.

Adam B

My Corolla had a broken interior door handle and by chance stopped over Artesian Auto Repair where Bobby and Christie welcomed and assured me that they could get it fixed up. Also said they could clean and polish the headlamps at the same time. Took my car in the day after and within an hour Bobby called to say it was all done and ready to pick-up. I have another vehicle and will make an appointment to it get checked out just so I have peace of mind that everything is running smooth. Great service by the professionals at Artesian Auto Repair. Thanks again Bobby, Christie and your staff, see you soon!!

Neil F

Absolutely amazing service Kristie goes above and beyond to help out and finding all the resources she can to help. This is the second time she has been there to fix me up. I will recommend them to everyone. All the staff is top notch. you'd be hard pressed to find any better. Thanks for everything you did today!

Randall C.

2nd time I took my truck to AAR. Called Krissy and Bobby at AAR, my truck's "Check Engine" lite came on again. They found the misfire in one of the cylinders, it was still under warranty plus I had them hook up an oil change as well. Artesian Auto Repair is the place I take my truck from now on! Call Krissy and Bobby! The bruddahs over there do good work! Mahalo Krissy and Bobby!

Kaleo I.

Nicest shop around. Had my car overheat and the guys checked it out and did an amazing job. Very fair pricing and looking out for your best interest. Can't say enough about it!

Connor C.

Needed work done and was willing to drive for it! We contacted Artesian and made an appt. we dropped it off at 8 am on Friday. They were unbelievably reasonable with their quote for the work they needed to do. The vehicle was done by 5 pm and fixed. Highly recommend!
