Great service from LS Automotive Repair and Transmission. We took our cars to them approximately 8 times to fix various things. They always do great work. Never had issues with ay of their repairs. The work has usually been done within a day - never longer than a day and a half. Very friendly service and reasonable prices. They are our go-to shop for all of our auto repairs. Strongly recommend LS Auto.

If you are having car trouble, the go to shop is LS Automotive Repair & Transmission. They are trustworthy, friendly, and above all great mechanics. When they do a repair you can trust that it'll be fixed! Take your car to them and you won't go to any other Auto Repair Shop again!

I called for an appointment, expecting to have to wait a bit because of COVID but after he asked me all the questions, I take it his judgement lead him to believe it needed to be fixed. They took me in the next day. It's a small loading lane and they were quite busy on arrival at 7:30am. Check in was quick and easy.
After a few hours, they called and told me that they were not 100% sure if what they think the problem is, is actually causing the issue. After some discussion, he asked me to let them check again because he wouldn't feel right if they changed the wrong item and something happened.
About an hour later he called and they had a better idea and was confident about it. They fixed it and I was able to pick the car up by 4-5pm. He also told me of another issue that would need to fixed soon and I could call on them when I was ready.
Highly recommend!!! Caring, fast and reasonable prices.Helpful 16Thanks 0Love this 14Oh no 0 - Sep 6, 2019
I'm that woman who can't even put air in my tire if u ask me. Not even change the bulb, check the oil or battery & these guys do it all for me for years. There's times when my tire was flat & ended up at Lex Brodies for help & I was told I need to change 4 tires. Came to find out, the flat was from a small nail that can be patch & my tires don't need to be replace, they just needed air! Thanks to these guys LS Automotive for their second opinion! LS Automotive have done so much job in my old car for cheap. Cheaper than everywhere else that's for sure. For years, John & Lester of LS Automotive never once ripped me, my family or my friends off. As a thank you I always treat them with booze. Who doesn't need ice cold beer after a long hot day in the shop & they deserve it.
I highly recommended them %. They're voted the best in business in Hawai'i & they should every year!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Gary R.Honolulu, HI11826Jan 6, 2023
Took my vehicle in for a tuneup and they were reasonable and efficient. Very fast service and Bryson gave great customer service. Will go to them if I need more repairs to my vehicle.

Today I went into LS Automotive for an oil and filter change and it was not a good experience.
First of all, Bryson the manager tried rip me off and sell me the replacement rubber inserts for the windshield wiper blades for $42 for my Honda CRV, even though Tony Honda in Waipio sells the same blade inserts for $18 at their parts department.
Next, I went to pick up my car and settle the bill and noticed that where my car was parked in the lot, there were four sharp, metal stakes, sticking up out of the ground next to my car. From my vantage point, there would have been a high probability that the mechanic drove over these sharp metal stakes to park my car.
Thinking that this would have damaged my tires, I addressed my concerns to one of the mechanics nearby, and he complained within my earshot to the lead mechanic Ian, who got angry and upset with me.
Ian had a very disrespectful and rude attitude toward me when he should have used better customer service skills to apologize and smooth things over, which he did not do.
For me, after this poor experience and mistreatment of me and my car I will not be returning to LS Automotive, and would not recommend this auto shop to anyone.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Jnl E.Waianae, HI2424935Jan 14, 2022
First of all, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to LS automotive repair! You guys have been always so nice and reliable and I know I can depend on you guys for awesome services and results !!
I can always rely on LS automotive repair! I've had a nail in my tire on two different occasions and they were able to take me right away and do the fix fast!! Compared to toyota, i wouldve have had to drop off my tire and wait for who knows how long. So glad I found this place on yelp!! No wonder they have so many awards!
They are so accommodating, professional, and do such a great job! I can't remember the name of the gentleman who fixed my tire this morning, but he was so nice! I didn't expect him to change my spare and put the newly repaired tire on my car for me, but he did!!! He even nicely and neatly put away the supplies for my spare back in the trunk for me! He even told me I don't have to pay, whaaat?! No way could that kind of service and friendliness could go unpaid! I had to give him payment cuz he deserved it! He was so humble! HOW NICE OMG!!!
Super friendly and very honest service!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
GO TO LS AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS!! THEY ARE THE BEST!!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Lena P.Fullerton, CA0159Jul 9, 2021
Best car repair shop in Oahu and ever!!! I am really sad that I just found out about this place. I was stupid enough to go to the dealer for oil changes for past 4 years since I got on the isalnd. I just didn't have any idea where to go since I am from mainland. I changed my brake pads a week ago with reasonable cost and great service. I got my car back within 2 hours.
Today, my car started shaking all of sudden and I got very nervous. I had to just walk in the shop and asked for help. They were almost done for today but they still checked my car what was wrong. It was one of the ignition coil did not work anymore. It took about 20 minutes to replace it. Thank God, they saved my car and my weekend. Thank you so much!!!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Kelly L.Anaheim, CA961319505May 19, 2021
I love these guys!!!! *insert heart emojis*
Since relocating to Hawaii I needed to find a decent spot for maintenance / oil changes on my Corolla. I yelp'd around and was met with service same day. Lester is usually the one to help me out on the phone. When I arrive, Dex & John and his team are always readily available to assist.. these guys are awesome, I owe them donuts lol.
Mysteriously, my passenger door mirror shell came off and the guys were able to fix it ASAP. John let me know I goofed up by ordering a part on eBay LOL. Anyway I came back the next week and they put it on for me for nothing... Thank you guys, y'all are awesome!!!! I'll be back as long as I live in on the island!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1
