Art Miner2024-03-15I have taken vehicles to Hometown Motors for a number of years now, and while I haven't had them do all my vehicle service, I have always had very good experiences with them. They have become my go-to source for help and service. I really appreciate the way they will do a full evaluation. Having bought several used vehicles, it has been a great help in finding out any urgent or potential problems. I also feel that they've been very honest about everything and their prices are as fair as I have found anywhere. It's a real pleasure to find people today that you can trust and are really good at what they do. Thanks Gator and crew for doing a great job!Brooke Hass2024-03-06Hometown Motors always does great work on my vehicle and is very trustworthy! They help me make informed decisions on what needs to be fixed on my car or what is not as urgent. Things are always completed in a very timely manner, and they do a great job of respecting my budget. Thank you guys so much!Steve Solimini2023-11-28Believe all the 5 star reviews!

They will be getting ALL of my business going forward. I can’t say enough good things about them.Preaches Angel2022-05-09Hello Beautiful People of Pearl City and surrounding communities. I wanted to share with you my experience with Home Town Motors! After making a move to Forreston my car decided to give me problems and finding a good honest mechanic in a place you know no one...well is intimidating to say the least. The 1st place I visited qouted me anywhere from $150 to could possibly go to $300 or more just to diagnose. I left and found Hometown Motors on Google and drove to them. So humbled and grateful I did, I have a used '07 and not looking to put more money than I paid for the car into it. When I spoke to Gator and explained my situation. He gave me the most Humbling response. He said I shop, get gas, go to church and I see the people in my community on a daily basis. I am Not going to do them or you wrong. Well this young man is not going to take you down a rabbit hole he will honestly help you with your car. Turns out I had several different things wrong and he ever so patiently got my car back to me running better than it was when I left it. Honestly I didn't understand why this shop wasn't packed; but now I realize he's so good at what he does he gets your car running and keeps you running and you get say Hello at the next oil change. You are not spending endless days taking the car back to the mechanic because it keeps breaking down. Ladies who are alone and don't have a man to let you know you are being taken advantage of I Highly recommend Hometown Motors for excellent service and the utmost professionalism. Tell Bradley and Gator I said Hello and I will see them for my next Oil change 😁 I now have my new mechanic and I Highly Recommend Hometown Motors for all your car repair needs. If you make the decision to give them a try I know you won't be disappointed. I have had my car back for about 3 weeks now and I'm happy to report no problems 😁 Thank you so much Gator and Bradley and Thank You for the thoughtful goodie bag and journal to keep track of my cars needs 😁Chad Bawden2022-03-07Gator has always taken great care of me and my family’s vehicles. His knowledge goes well beyond domestics. His honesty and integrity is unmatched. I never have to worry about any surprises when I come to pick up my vehicle.
