Thumbs up Recommendations for 30k maintenance

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable place in the south bay that they'd recommend for a 30k maintenance. i think i might some valve adjustments too. i called the dealership and they quoted me 330 even with a discount. any suggestions?

Larry Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale
They repeatedly listen to my requests at the service intervals, and they know S's and treat customers like humans.

and 30k inspection is just a really expensive oil change.

But if you must...Menlo, Livermore, or Fremont is my suggestion...

I think Larry Hopkins put in 10 quarts of oil into someone's S before. haha

I can help you out, at my work. for 30k, I'd just change the air filter, cabin filter(maybe), check everything over. and a oil change if you need it. of course I'd check the tires, brakes and everything else.

a lot less than 300 bucks.

more like under 100.

If the valves are tight the valvetrain could be damaged.... I'd check the valves at least every 30K.
