Question on local service
I was wondering if anyone knows any good non-dealer honda service shops in Arizona that will actually diagnose a problem without charging to look at the car ?
I have a new S that I took back twice to the dealer and while they could not find any problem I want an outside opinion before complaining to Corporate.
Thanks,

whats the problem? maybe its a common problem amongst s2k owners
The second time I brought it back they kept the car for half the day and could not find anything wrong. I especially notice it after parking in the garage. They checked things like the brakes, exhaust, wheel bearings. leaks bags caught on exhaust etc. And everything checked out fine.
I had a post on this forum regarding this issue a few weeks back so rather than continue to discuss I figure I'd get a third party opinion.
I ended up writing the corporate office and hopefully I will get in contact with a factory representative.
The car only has 2000 miles on it now but I started almost right after purchase. If this is in fact normal then I say "what a piece of crap". I've owned 2 accords and one GS-R Brand new for 7 years and never had anything like this.
Anyone else experience this ? Sorry if I'm ranting but I think most will agree if you spend good money for a nice car, especially brand new car from a quality company everything should be perfect
Thanks,

I don't know if this helps, but on MY05 I have the same sort of burning smell after I drive the car. After looking on the forums, I think ( could be wrong) but it is the clutch delay that makes the clutch slip giving it a burning smell. THe fix is to switch to an '03 slave cylinder to fix the delay. I have 12K on the car and don't drive it that hard but it could be the case. I have spoken with a few people with MY04-06 that have had this done and says it is great (do not know if this applies to MY07). I have yet to test it for myself, so just adding my .02
also, I have recently had some work done on my car by Cesar, and the service was top notch, better than anything I have ever experienced at Land Rover.

Is the delay made of poor quality on all 04's-06's ?
This is great!! Damn I should have bought a corvette at least I would known to expect repairs right away.
So the dealer will willingly switch clutch delays ? I don't know what it is but if it fixes the problem without causing another I will recommend them to do it.
Is this delay something that someone could have ruined on a Test Drive ?

I am almost sure this is normal but I don't know how bad the smell is. There will be all kinds of noises and smells as stuff is breaking in.
You are being too critical. I almost think this car is not for you.
If you want the clutch delay removed, I can do that for you.
