About This Repair Shop

Keeping Honolulu Powered Since 1985

In a place as vibrant as Hawaii, your outdoor space is an extension of your home, but maintaining it requires equipment that can handle the unique demands of our tropical environment. For over 40 years, Aloha Power Equipment has served as the island’s premier destination for homeowners and professionals who need more than just a tool—they need a machine that lasts. Founded in Kakaako in 1985 and now led by Mike Ward, our family-owned business has grown into the state's largest power equipment showroom by treating every customer like a neighbor.

As a specialized Power Choice® dealer, we bring "informed confidence" to every interaction. We don't just sell boxes; we provide the local expertise necessary to help you choose the right gear for the job and the technical support to keep it running for years to come. Whether you’re tending a small garden or managing a large estate, we’re here to ensure your project stays on track.

Expert Service and a Computerized Parts Department

The frustration of a broken tool often comes down to a single missing part. That’s why we’ve invested in a state-of-the-art computerized parts department that tracks inventory in real-time. If a part exists, we likely have it in stock; if not, we place orders every week to get you back to work as quickly as possible.

Our Comprehensive Maintenance and Repair Services:

  • Precision engine diagnostics and ignition system repairs.
  • Specialized fuel system service and carburetor cleaning for ethanol-related issues.
  • Full transmission service and belt replacements for walk-behind and riding mowers.
  • Factory-trained maintenance, including oil changes and spark plug replacement.
  • Professional chainsaw sharpening and bar maintenance.
  • Certified service for elite brands like Stihl, Honda, Husqvarna, Scag, and Echo.

The Aloha Power Edge

What truly sets us apart is our scale and our specialization. We are proud to be Hawaii’s largest Honda generator dealer, providing critical power solutions for both recreation and emergency backup. Because we understand that getting a heavy mower to a shop can be a challenge, we offer Pick-up & Delivery services across the area to make professional maintenance entirely hassle-free.

Our showroom isn't just a store; it's a resource. If you purchased your machine from us, we keep your records on file, making it easy to look up exact serial numbers and model specifications years down the road. We take the guesswork out of maintenance so you can focus on the results.

A Dedicated Partner for the Islands

The vibe at Aloha Power Equipment is defined by Mike Ward’s hands-on dedication—he’s a small business owner who works seven days a week to ensure the islands stay productive. We understand the logistical challenges of living in Hawaii, which is why we are transparent about shipping and local pricing while maintaining a massive inventory that smaller mainland-style shops can't match.

Stop by our Alakawa Street showroom to see the latest from Shindaiwa, Maruyama, and RedMax. We look forward to helping you find the professional-grade gear and reliable service you need to keep Hawaii beautiful.

Professional outdoor power equipment service service at Aloha Power Equipment, Honolulu. Okay. This is a great experience review for APE. My little Honda generator needed some love. I dropped it off at new location on Alakea St. I experienced prompt service with good communication about the repair process. Three days later I received a very fair estimate for repair. Four days after I gave the okay, it was fixed and I received a text message it was ready. Start to finish I was very satisfied and have my generator back running like new. Bravo APE!

I brought in a small Honda engine that wasn't running. Original estimate was 400. Then I got a call and was told 600. Last estimate was 1000. I get that they may find things as they work on the equipment, but I expected a more thorough investigation of the issues. Maybe it's not possible to find everything at one time. I wasn't happy when my expected expense went up $600, from $400 to $1000. Absolutely the best lawn equipment repair in Honolulu!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about lawn mower repair services

Most lawn mowers need annual maintenance including oil changes, blade sharpening, and air filter replacement. In Honolulu, HI, we recommend servicing before the spring mowing season.

Common signs include difficulty starting, uneven cuts, excessive vibration, strange noises, or smoke coming from the engine. Don't ignore these warning signs.

Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.

If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.

Simple repairs take 1-2 days. More complex engine work may take 3-5 days, especially during peak season in Honolulu, HI when shops are busiest.

Yes. Most repair shops in Honolulu, HI service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.

Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.

Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.

Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.

Regularly change the oil, clean or replace air filters, sharpen blades, and use fresh fuel with stabilizer. These simple tasks prevent most common problems.
