What We Do

Everything your
car needs, nothing
it doesn't.

Engine Diagnostics

Check engine light on? We read the codes, find the real problem, and tell you exactly what — and what you don't need to fix.

Brake Service

Pads, rotors, calipers, fluid — full brake system inspection and repair. We'll let you know if it's just a top-off or a full rebuild.

Oil & Maintenance

Conventional, synthetic, high-mileage — we'll pick the right oil for your engine and your commute. Quick, clean, and on time.

Transmission

Slipping, shifting hard, or just due for service? We diagnose transmission issues early — before they become tow-truck expenses.

AC & Heating

Hawaii doesn't forgive a broken AC. We recharge, repair, and replace — so you're not sweating through your commute.

Suspension & Steering

Rough ride? Pulling to one side? We'll inspect struts, shocks, tie rods, and alignment so your car handles like it should.

About Us

Built on
reputation,
not referrals.

D T Automotive sits right on Farrington Highway in Waianae — not in a strip mall, not hidden away. If your car rolls in, it's because someone recommended us. That's a responsibility we take seriously.

We're not the biggest shop on Oahu. We don't need to be. We're the ones your neighbor calls when they don't want to get ripped off. We explain what's wrong in plain language, we don't pad the estimate, and we won't hand you a car back until it's actually fixed.

Transparency You'll know what's wrong, why it's wrong, and what it costs — before we touch a bolt.
Quality Parts We use OEM or equivalent parts. No shortcuts, no question marks on what's under your hood.
Local First We serve Waianae and the West Coast because this is our community. We show up.

Why D T Automotive

The kind of shop
that doesn't need
an ad campaign.

01

We diagnose, not guess

Every repair starts with a thorough inspection. We find the root cause — not the easiest upsell.

02

Upfront pricing

You approve the work before we start. No surprise add-ons, no "while we're in there" surprises.

03

Fast turnaround

Your car is your livelihood. We schedule smart, work efficient, and get you back on the road.

04

Walk-in friendly

Can't wait for an appointment? Drop by. We'll fit you in when we can — no drama.

Don't wait until
the noise gets louder.

Strange sound? Warning light? Slight pull when you brake? The longer you ignore it, the more it costs. Let's take a look — free estimate, no obligation.
