Hey guys, Im trying to set-up an appointment to get my TSB 54, 55 etc done and wanted to get some info on repsectable dealers that members of the s2ki have gone to to get their TSB'c done. Feel free to give reviews on bay area dealers wether it may be bad or good, all helpful info Thanks

I've gone to several dealers for various types of service (no TSBs though), and haven't found them to be all that different. IMO, it depends more on the individual tech and service advisor than on the dealership. Anyway, for what it's worth, here are my experiences.

Capitol Honda:
I've had a bunch of oil changes done there and they've always done well.

Los Gatos Honda:
Had the 30k service done there and that went fine.

Larry Hopkins Honda:
They replaced my convertible top and did a fine job.

Menlo Honda:
Had oil changes done there and that was fine.

If I had to single one out, then I'd say Larry Hopkins might be the best bet. But really, it's going to depend a lot on your tech and advisor.

San Francisco Honda has done decent scheduled service work for me, at ridiculously high prices of course.

One word of warning regarding the TSB's. Which of the following best describes your intentions:

A- "I don't really have any problems, but I want the car brought to MY2003 standards before the warrantee expires.

B- "My shifts grind from 1st to 2nd at high RPMs, my clutch is making strange noises etc etc"

If it's B, then by all means go to the dealer with whatever TSBs you can get printed out in hand and get it fixed.

If however, it's A, then consider this: In order for 055, a mechanic has to remove your transmission, completely disassemble it and replace several parts, then put the whole thing back together and reattach it to your car. The question is, is the transmission put together better by the robots/techs in Tochigi with the original parts or by some guy who's seen the inside of *maybe* one other S2000 tranny.

Never been to Menlo Honda but I've only heard nice things about them.

i've gone to Autowest Honda in Fremont for all of my oil changes.. they're done great so far.. i haven't had any major problems for them to deal with though.. but i'd say they give great customer service and do great work on my car..

Go to Capitol Honda, at least they have crazy hotties working there

If you'd do a search, you will find that Capitol Honda is not one of the better place for service. There's been some reports of poor work done by their mechanics. Things may have changed since the last report, but I still don't trust them.
