ALOHA, NEIGHBOR!

We're Sam & Kristi of Choice Auto Repair.

45+ Years of Automotive Experience

Local. Family-Owned. Personal Service.

Choice Auto Repair is more than just a place to get your car fixed.
It's a family-owned shop built around experience, honest communication, and taking care of the people who trust us with their vehicles.

We've been part of the Kapolei and Ewa Beach communities for years, with family, friends, and community connections here. In 2020, we moved our shop to Kalaeloa Town so we could bring Sam's decades of automotive experience closer to the people and families we know and serve.
Your Mechanic. Your Neighbor.
 
A LITTLE HISTORY
Choice Started With Experience.

Choice Auto Repair was founded in 2017, but Sam and Kristi's story together goes back much further.

Before Choice became the neighborhood auto repair shop it is today, Sam and Kristi had already spent more than 25 years working together in business and community service.
When Choice Auto Repair first started, much of the work was behind the scenes, providing automotive service for locally owned used- and rental-car dealerships and taxi companies.
Keeping those vehicles on the road taught us a lot about what dependable automotive service really means.

It also gave Sam the opportunity to put decades of hands-on automotive experience to work diagnosing problems, maintaining vehicles, and helping businesses keep their vehicles moving.

Over the years, the automotive industry changed. Vehicles became more computerized, diagnostic technology became more sophisticated, and the way technicians approach repairs evolved.
So did Choice.

Today, we combine modern diagnostic tools and technology with the hands-on mechanical experience Sam has built over more than 45 years in the automotive industry.
 
MEET SAM
Your Mechanic. Your Neighbor.

Sam has been working on vehicles for more than 45 years.
And after all those years, his approach is still pretty simple:
Listen. Diagnose. Explain. Repair.

When you call or text Choice Auto Repair, you talk directly with Sam.

He's the one working on your vehicle.

When something doesn't seem right, Sam takes the time to figure out what's actually happening and explain it to you in plain language.

Because good repair starts with a good diagnosis.

You shouldn't have to know everything about cars to understand what's going on with yours.

That's Sam's job.
 
MEET KRISTI
The Other Part of Choice.

Choice Auto Repair is a family business, and Kristi is an important part of what makes it personal.

With years of experience in business, leadership, and service-based operations, Kristi brings a different side of experience to the business.

Together, Sam and Kristi have spent decades working in business, serving their community, and creating relationships with the people around them.

Today, that same partnership is at the heart of Choice Auto Repair.
 
WHY WE DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY

❤️ Local & Family-Owned
We're proud to be part of the Kalaeloa, Kapolei, and Ewa Beach communities and to serve our West Oʻahu neighbors.
 
WHY WE'RE BY APPOINTMENT
Your Vehicle Deserves Our Full Attention.

We know being by appointment is a little different from the way some auto shops operate.

There's a reason we do it.

We want Sam to be able to give your vehicle his full attention.
When you bring your vehicle to Choice Auto Repair, we want the time to properly diagnose what's happening, communicate with you, and take care of the work without rushing through the process.

Here's how it works:

1. CALL OR TEXT SAM
Tell us what's happening with your vehicle.

2. SCHEDULE YOUR VISIT
We'll find an appointment that works for you.

3. DROP OFF YOUR VEHICLE
Bring your vehicle to our Kalaeloa location at your scheduled time.

4. STAY INFORMED
We'll keep communication clear while your vehicle is being diagnosed or serviced.

Simple. Personal. Straightforward.
 
PROUD TO CALL KALAELOA HOME

Taking Care of Our West Oʻahu Neighbors.

Our connection to Kapolei and Ewa Beach goes back years.
Our family is here. Our friends are here. Our community is here.
That's why moving Choice Auto Repair to Kalaeloa Town in 2020 was about more than simply moving the shop.

We wanted to bring Sam's experience closer to the people and families we know and serve.

For us, Choice Auto Repair is about more than fixing cars.

It's about having a dependable place nearby where you can bring your vehicle, talk to a real person, and feel comfortable knowing who's taking care of it.

Mahalo for supporting a local, family-owned business.
 
NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR CAR?
That's Okay.

Tell Sam what's happening.

We'll help you figure it out.
