Here's some good news. I needed spark plugs, so thought they would be less expensive in Hilo. O'Reillys $5.99 each. Surprise: Pahoa Auto Parts had Denso for $3 (which were more even on Amazon). I asked why so inexpensive, they said we don't have to double our profit at the expense of our customers. So I bought the fuel filter there too. I'm having Bob's Repair on Ilima St. do the tune up. So I earned my money in Kapoho & am spending it at local business - real feel good moment, not sending Puna money to the mainland. Disclaimer: I am not friends or related to anyone at either business. They both have treated me very well & done excellent work.
