Since you live in Mililani, this is pretty close by:

I took my car to Kuroda's once in Waipio, they were OK.

Okas is pretty good. Through my personal experience with body shops, I would recommend Kuroda's. Their quality of work and turn around time is great. I've worked at El's Auto Body & Central Body & Paint. They do excellent work but their waiting list for appointments is about 3 months. I guess it's due to the fact that they're both high volume body shops. Depends on how bad the damage is and what exactly is going to be painted. If it's a minor job, they could probably squeeze you in.

Yeah you can try Oakas and Sig's in Waipahu my car is still over there. They do pretty good body work and the paint match like factory color.

Hey Kevin,

If your still looking for a auto body shop in town, try and Check out United Auto Body near Ala Moana. Its right down the road from Hi-Pace racing on Kona St. They did a A+ job on my impreza and turn around time was right quick, Loaner car was provided really quick plus there were less than 2 minutes away from the shop.. If you are looking for a shop on the Wes Side, I recommend Oka's Auto Body. They too are on my A list and turn around time was quick, job detail/s were excellent. hope that helps. Oh Kevin, sorry I missed your call. Never had a cigarette so I had to kill the urge so I washed and wax the I M P R E Z A. I will definetly check it out.

Thanks again,
walter

Hey Kevin, since you live Mililani, my first recommendation would be Kuroda's since they're the closest to you. Roland and his crew run a very nice business and they do great work. As with any body shop, they're not perfect, but take good care of their customers. Depends on where in town you're looking for, but my first 2 recommendations would be Acme Fender and Island Fender. All 3 shops are family friends and do good work. If it's going through insurance, your insurance usually has a few shops that are on their Direct Repair network. That's always a good place to start.
