Starkey's Auto Repair

Honolulu, HI 96819

Across Carfax (~99), Chamber of Commerce (~347) and MapQuest (~151) reviews Starkey’s Auto Repair is largely praised for quick turnarounds on inspections and routine work, friendly/helpful staff, solid diagnostics (including sourcing parts for older vehicles) and generally fair pricing. Recurring negatives are occasional front‑desk or communication lapses (missed callbacks, scheduling/reminder gaps) and a few isolated billing/warranty disputes; one BBB complaint (2022) is recorded as answered.
