As the engine started, the yellow "CHECK" on the dashboard appeared. Call your dealer the car manual says but their earliest appointment is 3 weeks out. A nearby auto shop graciously diagnoses the culprit but doesn't do those repairs. Two auto shops give quotes but say they will still charge for a diagnostic test ($145) despite the given diagnosis. Another friendly auto shop owner says he would do the job but his ace mechanic is not available for weeks. So he refers me to Sumida's Auto Repair and I speak with Kevin, the owner, who says he can help me next week. When I share that we only have one car, Kevin says to bring the car in tomorrow and he will work us into his schedule. While unexpected but surely appreciated, we applaud Kevin not only for his Empathy but also his Compassion for our scenario. We highly recommend Sumida's Auto Repair for quality work, excellent customer service, and peace of mind.

Sumida's auto repair gets 5 solid stars! Driving the car with 3 pointed stars comes with a hefty costs at times. I have gone to the local dealer in Honolulu which you can expect to pay very expensive charges for the smallest of repairs. Then in the years, I have gone to smaller independent shops which are little less than the dealer but I have still received sticker shock. Enter Sumida's which is a smaller shop in downtown Honolulu. I recently heard about Sumida's through word of mouth and read all good reviews of this business. I made an appointment have them look at some issues that just appeared on one of my cars and took it in early in the morning. I received a call that afternoon from Kevin Sumida who told me he inspected all of my concerns and made some adjustments which took care of the problems. I then asked how much the work was and Kevin said..."oh don't worry about it". Are you kidding? I have not heard something like that in years....EVER?!! Thank you Sumida's and

Great service! Really quick to get my safety check. No appointment needed. It was a little packed and confusing where to park. I just pulled up in front of the only open bay available and walked into their office. They were quick to help and made the whole process very easy! I will definitely return and would absolutely recommend!

Juan is the best! Nicest guy, knows his stuff. I was gone and my mom was staying at my place when my car had an issue. Juan helped her out and even spoke to my dad on the phone who is also a mechanic. All this while I was overseas. Juan and the team at Sumida has made buying the Facebook market car and all its problems bearable. Definitely go here. Buy your car at a reputable dealership.

These guys are awesome! Called them up in the afternoon, said they'd squeeze me in tomorrow. Dropped my car off the following morning, everything was done by the afternoon. Serpentine belt, pulley, oil change, safety inspection, wiper blades. That's some awesome squeezing on less than 24 hours notice! Not that I'm hoping for more car trouble, but I'll be taking it in to them next time for sure. Stay safe gents!

Juan, Kevin, and the crew over at Sumida are fantastic! 4th generation running this business. Knowledgeable and efficient! Their shop is clean and organized. I've used them several times and would highly recommend using Sumida's!

Had some work done on my MB that at first was very much to my dissatisfaction due to strange cranking noices when I did turns left or right. Also, I experience other rumbling on slowing down speed to come to a stop. After a while, I contacted the service person Juan and was able to return the car and have all issues fixed. The problem was the FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM REARWARD BUSHING R&R BOTH SIDES. Eventually, it was all fixed, and some minor noice remains but much better, and I am very much satisfied. I would definitely recommend this shop, which specializes in Mercedes Benz primarily. Good job

Needed a safety inspection and was short on time. Didn’t need an appointment and they were able to take care of me as soon as I got there and finished in under 15 minutes. Great establishment.

I have a tour company and have mostly Mercedes vans and take them all to Sumidas for small or big repairs. Been a customer for 7 years and have always been treated well and they have fair pricing. They do all my service A and service B on the Mercedes and repair automatic sliding doors and everything else that could have wear and tear. Happy customer, highly recommend!

I just brought my car in for safety check and it was the fastest service I ever got. I went down the road to another place which I won't name, for safety check and didn't like it since I had to wait and the mechanic wasn't suppah nice. I left and went to Sumidas, that was the best choice I made. Appreciate the quick service and will bring my car in the future for other automotive needs.

Excellent customer service! Dropped off our car to Sumida’s Auto Repair and received a detailed link to the inspection of our Audi. The link was super easy to use and was very detailed. It included a list of things that needed to be fixed along with the corresponding pictures and estimated prices. They were quick with the repairs & my car is running great! I will definitely be using Sumida’s Auto Repair in the future.

I just went here to get a safety inspection after RUDLEY getting turned away at "Great People" because my insurance card wasn't loading on my phone for like 3 minutes. The staff at Sumida's was super friendly and super fast. I was in and out in under 5 minutes. Great experience, and I'll be getting my safety check here from now on!

Great place, honest, hard working staff. I stopped by with a nearly flat tire and they took me in right away. Unfortunately, turned out it was an old valve and not the tire that was leaking and so had to get this handled by my car dealership. They replaced with my spare tire and did not want to charge me for all the assessment and spare installation. Was very grateful for their service and definitely would recommend these guys to anyone that needs servicing for their vehicle.

Best auto shop in Oahu! Mr. Sean and his team are honest, fast, and affordable—especially for import cars like my Mercedes. Parts and labor usually cost a fortune, but here I got the best service at the lowest price. If possible, I’d give them 100 stars!

Got my oil changed and was told the timing cover might need to be changed and should be covered by warranty. Called Nissan and it was covered under warranty. Thanks for being so honest. They could have made big money off me but showed true integrity.

What do you want in a repair shop? integrity. efficiency. easy to work with. that's what I got. I no longer trust the dealer...their tech said brakes were at 2mm but I had a funny feeling about it. So I took to Sumida, and they measured it at 6mm. Just one example. I would go back here for future maintenance and repairs. No question!

I would give Sumida’s 10++++++ stars if I could! My 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 had a check engine light on and was rattling, so I took it to Sumida’s. They took my car in right away and even helped me realize that my vehicle was still under warranty. Thank you so much for the excellent customer service and aloha! I will definitely be coming back and referring everyone I know. This was by far the best auto repair experience I’ve ever had. Mahalo, Sumida’s Auto Repair!
