The service here is really a mess. I was not so disappointed or angry. After paying 10 dollars more to clean the inside and outside of the car and double wax, I came one hour later, and the inside of the car was messed up.When I asked the owner, it was said that it was normal. LOL Wow, a place to make money really easy. Yajima without conscience!!And while I waited to make pay I watched the cleaning services of the other cars. When the owner is sitting in the drivers seat, it acts to clean the inside of the car. Maybe to get a tip, right? I will share the picture. You judge.

Great place for a car check up. It’s simple, they’re great in service. Reliable in what they recommend and do, and honest with the prices. You won’t find that trio in most service stations.

NOT Recommended.First time customer today based on other reviews, but after seeing the quality, there is no way I would ever recommend this location.Issues:Horrible interior cleaning. See included photo’s. Still have sand all in the cup holder area and seats.Floor mats washed but put back in the truck all wet.Doors not wiped down, still dirty from shoe marks.Exterior:They used tire shine spray, but didn’t wipe off the excess spray, so as soon as you drive-off, it flys all over the side panels.They popped the hood (no idea why) and didn’t re-latch it. No work was done in the engine compartment, so why pop the hood.. I didn’t notice until I was on the road driving away that my hood wasn’t locked-down. Had to stop and secure it.I highly DO NOT recommend this place.

Visited the gas station and car wash when we were borrowing a car from a friend and I needed to clean it up a bit after a few fun days on Oahu. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the car was spotless and clean after all was said and done. Much thanks!

Came here for the car wash. John Ohtani, our Audi salesperson, highly recommended Yajima Service Station for a car wash. We did the car wash, vacuum, tires, extra wax and the trunk vacuuming...in other words, we did the works. Fast and efficient. We will be back again. Toshi was terrific. Took extra time to make sure the Q3 looked awesome.

I went in for a safety inspection and was in and out in 15 minutes. I made sure to call ahead and check if they were busy first. The price was about the same as other places. I was very satisfied with their service.

They washed my vehicle in so much hurry I had dust in between doors, didnt blow off leaves and dust on the hood and trunk, and they have the nerves to charge $32. Never going to this place again or recommend anyone else

Call ahead to make sure car wash is still available: I arrived at 3:30p for wash on a Saturday, and told the service has already ended.When there is quite a few at the wash the attention to detail also suffers. Best to go when there isnt a line.

I go for the car wash and vacuum although I got a safety check there once. They also do oil changes. They do a good job cleaning my car. It takes about an hour to do.

Review №23

Great service. Im very happy. Arrived at 10:30am for a safety check and a car wash. Second time here for car wash so Im still figuring out how it works - enter on King St, someone will come up to your car, you tell them what kind of wash you want (check out what they offer beforehand so you know upon arrival). Theyll take your keys and you wait in the air-conditioned room. When your car is done, the cashier announces the make and car color - at that time, you pay cashier.At the time I paid my bill, the cashier let me know that for next time, safety check isnt available till 12:30pm. It was nice that they took me early and politely informed me so I know better next time.Also, if you want trunk vacuum and tires dressed, you gotta ask for those extras (its a couple bucks more for both). I didnt know that and I was wondering why everything but my trunk was vacuumed - then I looked back at one of the Yelp photos and noticed its an extra on their menu.When I left, all the guys wiping other cars down said thank you!!

Weve been coming here for years to wash our car... there are many other car washes in the area for cheaper but what keeps us coming back is their service. They really take care of your car like it was their own. They also have a great waiting area which is air conditioned with comfy chairs and complimentary beverages. Wait time can vary but its worth it.

This place would have earned 5⭐s from me however, they lost my registration. Before they completed my safety check I had to go to Ala Moana city hall to get another copy and the line there was ridiculously long. Then had to go bbba to finish the safety check. What should have taken 15-20 minutes turned into 2 hours. Grateful that they comped the check.

Full service car wash with great attention to detail. The wax tends to be gummy so you should skip that part.

Review №31

$0.20 more per gallon @ full service and they only wash windows unless you ask. Just be careful when you go...I needed tire pressure looked at, they didnt do it until I asked.I wanted the oil checked, I even popped the hood, but no one checked. I had to ask the owner to get the manager to check.They are focused on Japanese speaking customers and sadly are charging them more for not much.

I come here to have my car cleaned. Although the car gets run through a wash machine, the touch-ups that they do before handing the car back to you are all done by hand. Its decently priced but it does get very crowded sometimes.

Review №35

Called ahead of time and they said no reservarions were needed for safety check. I went in and the mechanics had poor communication because they were moving me around asking me to park in this stall and that then after the 4th service guy asked me why I was waiting he said it would be another 20-30 minutes. Poor communication and a total waste of time and energy. Would definitely not recomend.

Safety check was reasonable but if you want to pay $118 for an oil change on a Toyota Prius with a 1.8l motor this is your spot. Did you refine the oil yourself or something? At least they wiped down my seat lol.

Review №41

This place is BOMB!! Hands down the best car wash on the island. $30 and they clean in and out of ur car w wax and even take out and scrub down ur mats (if u no more the carpet kine). Wont go anywhere else. Makes McKinley car wash look like garbage..which..nevermind lol

Review №42

Id give them 5 stars if they would wipe down my truck better. You could still see the dirt around the fenders. Maybe its because I dont have a luxury vehicle. I just have a Tac. But still, I paid the same amount as those with BMWs, Lexus and Benz. Jus sayin....

Customer service was great but wash was severely lacking. Job was spotty and rushed. My car had a lot of bird droppings on it and after the car wash it had less bird droppings on it. I would not recommend

Review №52

Went in for a wash and vacuum, agreed with service worker on a 25.00 wash and vacuum for a suv, told him the vehicle was a rental and needed all the sand vacuumed up. this is no traditional car wash that i am use to seeing in the states, literally washing your car out of a car garage with a shop vac. Said my car was done and came out to notice the cargo area had not been vacuumed, was told by worker that was extra cost, told the worker we agreed on 25.00 for the complete car to be washed and vacuumed, worker shook his head and went to grab the shop vac, after reluctantly cleaning the cargo area the worker said i must pay 4.00 for trunk, of course when i refused to pay, the worker began cursing and tried to threaten me into paying, when that didnt work he told me to leave, when i got into my car he then stepped in front of my door and started to lecture me and threathen me some more, im calmly manner i told the worker my daughter is in the car and i need to be leaving. If it wasnt for my daughter being present im sure he would have tried something even more stupid. Buyers beware tried to upsell me for services which were agreed upon in the beginning

Its a Japanese-speaking restaurant, but the usage is the same.Although it was used for Mustang refueling, it was a nice shop with communication with the clerk.It is a shop loved by locals and Japanese who are Japanese owners and can see business use by Japanese companies.【good point】・ Japanese is understoodThe type of fuel is different between the United States and Japan, but it is easy for beginners to understand because you can consult in Japanese.・ Location is goodBecause it is near Ala Moana, it is easy to use.·SpiritedThe staff is lively and has a Japanese character, but it is good[Points to worry about]・ When heading from the direction of Ala Moana, it is difficult to enter because of the opposite lane.・ There is nothing else.In the case of a rent-a-car, the fuel cost is included in the rental fee, and I think that it is unlikely that you will run out of fuel during your stay in Oahu, but it is recommended for emergencies.

I can speak Japanese. It is very helpful for me who cant speak English properly.During my stay, I visited twice to refuel. At both times, there were people who could speak Japanese at the cashier counter.When I checked with the staff who was near the refueling machine in Japanese, when paying with a Japanese credit card, I went to the cashier counter once, told the refueling machine number, and deposited the credit card. It is a thing. (At that time, I will tell you how much it is full or how many dollars) It seems that only American credit cards can be used for payment at the refueling machine, but if you go to the cashier counter as described above, you can refuel with a Japanese credit card without problems. It was possible.When refueling, for regular gasoline, pick up the pump marked 87 and turn the lever where the pump was placed upward before refueling.Everyone was kind and I could speak Japanese, so it was very convenient. I will use it the next time I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

I went to wash and change the oil! I was happy because the car wash will clean up to the inside! It was pointed out that there was water leakage, oil leakage during oil change, it was told that repair will cost more than $ 2000! I checked a lot and brought it to a local repair shop where I got repaired for $ 600.

Hi

The reason why I can ride a car in Hawaii with confidence is because there is Mr. Yajima.

Review №74

There are a lot of Japanese staff, so you can listen to anything you dont know with confidence, especially gas station card readers can hardly accept Japanese cards, so you can put them in cash, but you may be confused because the format differs from Japanese self The staff told me.I checked in advance, but the card was still not usable at other stands, tell me the cash preparation and refueling number, pay in advance, put the money back and when it is done, return the number if there is fishing I will ask.I dont know how long it will go, so I will give you more money first.

Review №75

It is safe as there is a Japanese staff according to the word of mouth ^ _ ^ Refueling before return of the rental car is recommended here

Ok
Review №76

The price of refueling with service is high, but if the rental car is flat, the rental car store is at the airport, there is no convenience at the convenience store or the individual stand, but it is immediately available (charged) so it is recommended. Japanese correspondence is also possible
