Business Opportunity on Big Island

[Captain Dean]

Aloha Hawaii Chapter,

Just had a starter solenoid problem and found a gap in our business community: No Auto Electric shops anymore.

John in the Old Industrial (Kona) sold out last year. The other John in the new industrial (Kona) folded this year.

A guy named Lee is opening up a shop at the marina (Kona) but he's not ready, and may not be ready anytime soon.

If anyone in the Hawaii chapter could start up a auto electric shop and offer starter / alternator repairs & parts, you'd have a monopoly in Kona.

None of the auto parts stores carries solenoid repair kits ($25), only whole replacement starters ($400). I had to fix my starter by fashioning a couple of solenoid contacts from stainless angle stock ($5).

BTW, the Dodge dealer and Cummins West both wanted $775 for a starter.

Aloha, Dean.

He's in Hilo but services the whole island. Even if you need it now in Kona, it's no problem. I'm surprised you don't know him being fishing for so long. Mel has a Bertram 31 moored in Wailoa Basin.
