FYI - was in need of a safety sticker today and went to Paul's Repair in Pahoa based on the reviews here on Punaweb. Here's my experience (or lack thereof):
I called ahead this morning and was told that I could just walk in with no appointment (you need an appointment Tuesday - Friday). Was also told that the fellow doing the safety checks was unavailable from 12 - 1:30 because that's when he took lunch. (Yup - an hour and a half for lunch.)
I stopped by at 2:20 pm and was told the guy was at lunch but returning by 2 pm. It was already 2:20. I waited about 10 minutes and gave up and left.
Other people also recommended the guy in HPP on 28th (between Kaloli and Paradise.) Stopped by he was in. Took about 10+ minutes and had a new safety.
BTW - Also called Wally's in upper HPP and they require an appointment. They were booking several days out and I didn't want to wait as my safety had expired.
