Highly recommend Rolling Bay Automotive. Arrived on the island 3 yrs ago and didn't know where to bring my Prius for maintenance. Thought I'd give Rolling Bay a chance and I'm thrilled I did. I'll keep going back because of the friendly and reliable service. Services: Transmission repair, Brake service & repair

We have been going to Rolling Bay Automotive since around 2004 for a wide range of cars. Ranji and his staff always treat us very well. He gives a reliable date for when the work will be done by, they have a lot of experience and research problems thoroughly, they start with the least expensive fix first before going to more expensive alternatives, and they stand by their work. Above all, they are also caring people who accommodate us, as best they can, when car repairs sometimes involve problems beyond just the car. They are great people.

Thank you Ranji, Greg and the whole team at Rolling Bay Auto. I am a very thorough shopper, especially when making last minute, unexpected car repair decisions. You were patient, informative and transparent in your pricing and even though I may have saved some money elsewhere, I knew I was receiving truly, high quality care and parts from my very own neighbors. I have been a leadership coach in the automobile industry and I know immediately when I am being served by a business that is authentic and heart centered. And you had me completely taken care of in a few hours, on a busy Friday, even when I showed up at your door without an appointment! feeling really grateful.

They did a professional job with my oil change no complaints. They recommended that I urgently needed new rear brake pads, which they gave me a quote for $$$. Then I went to Les Schwab to get new tires so I ask them to check the pads. They said they were still good not even close to being ready to replace. So glad I got a second opinion I would have been out a lot of money.

Rolling Bay has cared for our cars for 10 years. When they fix something, it STAYS fixed. Maintenance is not cheap there, but they are reliable and professional. They will give you a ride to wherever you are going and pick you up when the job is done.
