Default Moving to area -- Best Honda Dealer for service around Santa Clara

I am moving to Santa Clara and would like to get advice on which Honda Dealer is the best for Service / Warranty. Any advice would be appreciated, along with contact names if appropriate.
Would also like some advice on what the best drives are for the area. I have been spoiled with endless curving 2 lane roads in the country.
Thanks!

The closer (good) one is Larry Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale.
The farther away one north is Menlo Honda (don't know about Anderson Honda).
Farther away south is Los Gatos Honda.

The closest one to Santa Clara is actually Stevens Creek Honda, but I would not recommend them. There are just so many Honda dealers around this area that it is easy to go from one to another until you find one you like.

Sorry but I cant recommend Hopkins. They took forever (3 days)to put 2 Axle nuts on my car and broke my lip spoiler in the process. Its worth the extra drive to go to Los Gatos or Menlo honda.

There are also tons of back roads to explore in the area.
Welcome!

Menlo Honda seems to be pretty good to me so far...

Wantone may have had some problem with them in the past but I'm not sure what. Maybe he can comment.
